CW~ del!rium, d3ath, bl00d, b0nes ~BONEPAW~ "Ugh..." My head pounds, my claws ache, my legs throb. My entire body is sore and hurting and stiff. I don't know where I am or how long I've been in the Haze. That's what I'm calling this dark, foggy mind state. It fits. "Cloudgaze?" I call, attempting to stand up. My legs wobble, but I right myself and look around. "Cloudgaze?" This isn't MistClan territory anymore. It's ColdClan. And I smell something familiar... "Hey!" A yowl cuts through the silent, damp air. I whip around, claws unsheathing, teeth bared. The reeds rustle. That same gray tabby I met...who knows how long ago? Probably weeks now. That same tabby saunters out, eyes narrowed in anger. "It's...you," he growls happily, tail whipping. "I get to be the one to k!ll the psych0p4th cat." "You get to be the one K!LLED by the psych0p4th cat," I correct, lunging for him. He yelps and dodges, eyes suddenly wide with fear. I feel the Haze slipping around me again. My vision goes blood-red and blurry. I step into it, letting it wrap around me like a shield. I feel Cloudgaze's presence inside my head, urging me on, moving me forward, powering my every strike. Then everything goes dark. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I wake up next to the gray tabby's body, twisted and mangled and bl00dy. A few b0nes wait for me outside the body. But since I don't even use the shelter with the bone pile anymore, keeping the b0nes is a waste. I arrange them in a trail leading towards the cad4ver and leave. I pass out after a mile of walking and hope no one finds me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ CLOUDGAZE ~ My little puppet is slipping further and further into ins4nity. I update my task, since everything isn't really going as expected. Bonepaw will slowly diminish the Clans' population. He's k!lled only about ten cats so far, and none of them have been particularly important. I'm going to need more cats to do this, though. Suddenly, an idea hits me.
