The Exotically spotted she-cat wandered through the destroyed two leg den. Scraps and debris littered the area, while the faint scent of smoke tortured the female's nostrils. It had been a good amount of time since she had last been a apprentice, and now she had grow in a mighty warrior, or at least she would have if she stuck around to endure the pain of being surrounded by pansies. They were pathetic, all of them! What was the point of having corrupted brains if they never did anything with them. It was useless, it was like watching a rabid dog in a room of twolegs sitting around and not biting anyone. Granted, some of the cats had a mind almost as diabolical as her own, but yet they never fed it properly. Venom didn't want to sit around and pretend to like her fellow clan mates when she really abhorred their ways. The she-cat needed to get out, cause some trouble, and produce as much sabotage as possible. It wasn't Venompaw anymore or Venomstike or any other frivolous warrior name. This feline was just Venom... the wench who decided to find a group worth hanging around. Metallic cold eyes searched the abandoned area and found nothing, but her nose told her otherwise. There was a scent...a stray maybe? The female plopped her bum to the ash infested floor, her lungs inhaling then releasing a bored sigh. "Come out where ever you are, love. I can smell you my little termite." She breathed in a dull tone,while her tail constricted neatly around her paws.

CRAP! :/

A black silhouette sat alone in the shadows, though he could easily have been a shadow too, especially to the eyes of most unexperienced creatures. Here at least he could let himself think. It was never much of an option when he was surrounded by others. It's not like he could call them his friends, he didn't give a damn if any of them liked him or not, as long as they feared him, that was enough, enough for the muscular black tom to be in charge. He knew of at least one she-cat who had liked him, maybe even loved him. As the black tom's muscles tensed he grew greatly in size. Why? He knew someone was there even before they set a paw in the door frame. Honestly. No peace and quiet at all. "Took you long enough." He hissed when the female finally chose to open her maw. He let his tail stir up clouds of ash, for a little bit of fun. Swiftly the black character moved from his hiding place, to a better one. It was probably best he had been interrupted though, bad things could happen if he let his thought's wander too far. His amber eyes were still focused on something distant, but he was alert. Of course, he was Shard. Any kitty cat who decided to cross paths with him was really rather stupid, you never knew what he would do next. He never liked others to expect what he was going to do. That was one of the more frightening things about him. His mood or his actions could not be predicted and so, if another ever learned to be too relaxed around him, it could cost them.

Venom's ear twitched slightly as her eyes finally found her shadowy company. Her cranium inclined, yet not high enough to be considered disrespectful to the ebony brute. "I like to take my time." Venom spoke in a rather blunt voice towards the male. It wasn't accustomed for her to be genial or cordial in any way. Though, she never took her eyes off the other cat just in case he tended to be a wandering nut job. Sure, Venom wasn't exactly sane, but she could hold back her..issues. "Who am I intruding, if you don't mind me asking? From your smell you remind me of a termite oozing acid odor, but now that I can see you, you remind me more of a parasite." She shrugged lightly, but held her gaze steady and fixed. Who was this guy? Venom had once heard of a band of rogues named Delerius,Delerium,Delerio? Whatever, but this guy wasn't your average stray, he held some vague intentions through those creepy eyes of his. The female tilted her dainty cranium slightly, while she narrowed her eyes. Venom was no subjective kitten, but she could tell when she had met her match, and this guy gave off quite the same air as hers.

His eyes rolled, did she think he was an idiot? Stupid young cats. They always thought that they were so smart these days, when really they should get over being big-headed and get down to business. You would never learn otherwise."I'm sure." He purred, but it was no ordinary purr, it was the kind that would make your fur prickle and send shivers shooting through your bones. It was sly and suspicious. "I am like a termite when I drive you crazy with my carefully places words and they being to tear at your brain. I am like acid when you look into my eyes, or when my claws slide across your pelt. Really though, I just make others fear me, otherwise I would never get anything to go my way, would I now?" He hissed and added a chuckle on the end. "But why should I tell you who I am? Surely you should know. Didn't the warriors ever scare you with stories of rogue cats? You seem too young to ever have fought my followers in battle." He chuckled and a snort left his nose in a rush of warm air. "So I could say you remind me of a kit not long out of the nursery with the scent on milk clinging to your fur and that disgusting clan stench that makes me gag." He snarled. Another chuckle left his maw. No wonder other doubted his sanity sometimes, he didn't care what they thought though. His claw always worked despite his brain. His claws as sharp as knives, talons, razors, fangs, anything that could slice something clean open. The massive tom slipped out of his hiding place, and his amber eyes burned, with interest, hatred or disgust?

[razz]

Oh god another one of those brutes. Wasn't there enough of them in the world? A displeased expression spread across her features as she snickered at his chilling purr. Words words words, how horrifying yet too simple to use them. The brainwashing threat was one of the oldest tricks in the book, and had little effect on this indigo child. Her eyes flashed in irritation, and her tail snaked through the air. "Heh, and you call me immature. Bravo you succeeded in using simplistic metaphors to try and creep me out. Yes,yes,yes and I'm like a tapeworm that thrives in that little belly of yours and feeds on your waste. Slurping up you stomach acid while I feel it sizzle down my throat. Or, better yet I am toxic Venom. First the bite, then I spread through your veins faster than you can breathe, touching...no, violating every part of your body, while, slowly your organs freeze then your lungs collapse as I let you suffocate and suffer from convulsions. Soon enough I will be licking up the bodily fluids that run from your inert eyes. Now, you see how easy it is? Why don't you really get me going, love?" I chuckled with very little enthusiasm. Then addressed the kit issue. "I wasn't born in a clan sweetheart I was dropped off there. Filthy rogue blood runs in my veins just as yours, and I'm not one to listen to petty elder gossip." Venom remained vigilant, but kept her muscles flexed and ready just in case someone would have a little hissy fit from her show. Venom lowered her skull slightly, while letting her extra appendage dance about like a cobra hypnotized by Arabian music.

The massive black tom just snorted at her attempt to reach him. "Hey, venom kisser, to actually make a cat fear you, you need to make sure he is actually in touch with his emotions first, you obviously don't know me very well, for I couldn't care less, I am as black inside as you can see on the outside. Unless your eyes fail you of course." He snorted, slightly disgusted. "I don't get you going, because I don't care about you, you are lets say at the bottom of the food chain, unimportant, irrelevant. I really don't see why I should care, perhaps you can convince me, but chances are you probably can't. I have other things on my mind little venom kisser." He spat. Why was it he always ended up giving the clan kitty cats nick names? Twinkle paws. That was Serenewinter's name, but he didn't really care for her. Maybe he had tried to. The only one he really cared for though was the fox. Her features, they weren't the usual ones a moggy would have, they looked foreign almost, like she wasn't from around here. Her amber pelt was dusted with charcoal and crimson, and yes, she was beautiful. He really should stop moping though. As long as he still remembered her, he would still be, well, untouchable. Numb. Whatever you wanted to call it. Really though he was just so angry, so angry he could hurt others easily without even considering it, it wasn't like it took a lot of effort to score his paws along one's side. A growl rose in his throat out of nowhere. "Filthy? Is that how you think of us. You should be proud, and strong." He snarled bitterly.

[razz]

Another chuckle exited her larynx as she eyed him amusingly. "Why on earth would I try to scare you, and I'm appalled that you think I'm emotional. That, and last time I check we are the same species so technically we are pretty much even. Don't try to degrade me it doesn't work too often, though you are too cute. I may make an exception for you if you keep up your rejections. I do love a little negativity."She spoke with a rather sarcastic tone, though it wasn't a complete lie. This Black tom was rather entertaining and in a freakish way he was very cute. It took a lot to please this wench, but when she is pleased she tends to be rather childish. "You think I'm not proud? I'm proud because I am filth just as you. I'm not sugar coated and I don't walk among those who call themselves pure, who worship those drooling idiots called starclan. I am the scum of the earth, and I am more than proud to be one untouched by ignorance's bliss. I know what I am, and I wholly accept it."To this statement a tone of deadly toxic ran through it. when it came to who she was, venom wasn't screwing around. She wasn't mighty, she was deadly and a all around sinner. "Those fools may call me a maggot, but when they die I'm the once feeding upon their rotted flesh." She said this rather quietly and to herself, but inside she was a tempest raging with the anger of thousands. Yes, life had raped her, and had stolen everything she ever loved, but she was going to get revenge, and whatever was stolen from her she was going to take it back by brute force and the mind of a genius. Pure hatred shown through her as as she gritted her teeth, but with a wave of her tail she set it aside and stared at the brute. "Your interesting my little termite." she said with a twisted grin.

[MiNTY♥]

He backed away from her angrily, she was really starting to get on his nerves. Just the way she acted as if she knew everything, like she knew what he was, who he was, what he had been through. He blinked, trying to keep his cool. "Little?" He snorted. He was going to say something else, but then he thought back to his conversation with Soul and sighed. Could he really just let this she-cat go? More to the point, could he get her to join and put up with her for as long as she stuck around without taking a swipe at her? He also needed to test her, to see if she was worthy. "So where do you plan on heading now?" He asked smoothly, ignoring her other comments. Now he was purely thinking of his gang's future. Maybe, this she-cat might not be so bad, but he was pretty sure she would be one of the few others around here with a similar attitude towards life as he had. Maybe he just didn't want to accept that this she-cat was more like him than he would like to admit. But he had never been in a clan, and he never would be, and well Maliceclan didn't exactly count as a clan did it?

[razz]

Man, this guy was no fun, but hell, nothing was fun these days. Everything had changed since she left the clan, and though she hated to lose the saucy attitude, she was going to have to put up with other rogues. She couldn't tease them like she did with the weaker clanmates, and they shared the same state of mind so she couldn't fool them. The female sighed as she stared wearily at the brute. "Why do you ask?" Her stare was more level-headed and rough, but in a strange way her voice was soft. Was this guy gonna stalk her? Probably not, but one could only hope. The she-cat chuckled at the idea, but dismissed it immediately. "I have no where to go, and I have been roaming for a while. Are you in the same position.....?"The silver spotted feline frowned as she remembered that his name was never given."What is your name?"She questioned, feeling a little calmer now, despite her tail flicking here and there. Her nostrils inhaled the atmosphere mixed with ash and the brutes scent. Why was she here again? It smelled pretty bad, but yet it had a certain vague air that she liked. Venom wasn't big on pretty things, but she did like the darker beauty that life offered every once in a while. Being a loner wasn't the same as being a clan cat. It was better, of course, but loneliness had it's bite, and even though this tom wasn't the social flower of the two, he was still worth talking to. Maybe, she should stick with this male, no? It could offer some positives like meeting other rogue's and using her mind for something. Right now all the female could do was sit and ponder battle formation and tactics, but still....who was she going to use them on? A mouse? Venom needed a partner in crime or at least a gang of cats similar to her....she hated to be alone, and she hated kitty pets fallowing her around all the time. It wasn't....homely.

[MiNTY♥]

When you think about, he wasn't losing much by taking on this little femme, if she turned on him, it wouldn't be that much of a challenge to deal with her by the look of things. For her sake he hoped she could fight as well as she could talk. He let the she-cat stumble upon her words while he stared absently into space, still alert though as always, just thinking. Now it was time for his speech. "You are clearly new in these parts if you don't know who I am, soon though, no cats will be coming here because of me." The tom snarled smugly, then he waited for it all start to sink in. "I am Shard, and I am not in the same position, I have a gang, or did have, the disloyal scum have scattered currently, but they wont have gone far, but this time I want to mistakes, I don't want a stupid little happy gang, never, but I want a loyal one, I want to be able to depend on my gang, and not have to do half the work for myself, or my sister - on that note if you see her tell her to come find me before I find her first, she looks like me with a white patch on her chest and teal eyes - but of course, if you want to tag along, you are welcome, well if you can prove yourself that is." The tom purred, all the while more cunning plans playing up in his head, if you looked close enough you could see the malice in his eyes.
