. Poison .
. I seek you out flay you alive .

A pale shadow stood darkly just inside of the large rocks own shadow, but this shape wouldn't leave you with a safe feeling as you walked passed. No. This pale shadow would leave you cowering in your nest wishing for lights and a way to keep this nightmare away. Her tall legs were hidden under all the shadows but you could see her height was above regular, the only true thing that you could see of the creature were her eyes. The depth of them were almost endless and the colour was a mesmerizing acid green, but the emotion that gathered in them was like predator to prey. It didn't matter who you were, her eyes alone are dangerous. Finally to movement elapsed from her and her tall body moved out of the shadows, her fur was the colour of the sand and her frame was slim. The only problem was that traces of blood hung around her maw and stained the whiteness of the ground, a corpse was left behind for the starving loners. The beautiful female was a terror to the lands and feared greatly by the clans, she had pleasure in her kill. Only a few of the loners could stand up to her and most of the rogues didn't have to worry, with her stomach full and not caring who came around Poison sat down and started to clean her paws of the blood of her kill.

A dark figure stood not far off from the femme known as Poison, sheltering in a cave. The optics, currently holding a pale yellow hue within their irises, were carefully watching the fellow murderer. No, she did not plan on ridding of the other. Actually, quite the opposite. After Quetzal and Zephyr left, everything had gone horribly wrong. She'd been overwhelmingly lonely. All of the EclipseClan prisoners had escaped, and Brackenkit had been returned home. She had really taken a liking to the little guy, but maybe it was for the best. After all, she was always longing to have a truly loving mother...

No. This was Nyx, cold-blooded killer and former apprentice of the well-known murderers Zephyr and Quetzal. She wouldn't let a bit of loneliness distract her from becoming the Black River Forest's new murderer in place of her old mentors. She would be the one who raided camps single-handedly and snatched away their precious Clanners. She would be the one whose names struck fear into the hearts of those pathetic Clan cats. Zephyr and Quetzal were gone, and Nyx had to carry on their name.

Finally, the tuxedo she-cat slipped from her den on long, thin legs. "Poison," she mewed. She remembered the she-cat talking to Zephyr once about joining their small band, or something like that. "How nice of you to visit." The pretty she-cat leapt upon the Sabretooth Rock in almost an authoritative way, claiming it as hers. "You do know that this is my home, correct? Zephyr and Quetzal might not be here anymore, but this place is still occupied. I, personally, find it quite rude to invade on one's home without permission, thank you." She giggled lightly, realizing how she had done that before and made off with the inhabitants. She descended once more from the rock, looking Poison in the eye with one of those innocently evil smiles on her face to emphasize the fact that she wasn't afraid of her visitor. She sat gently down curling her tail around her small, white paws. Perhaps Poison's company would do her some good. "So, what brings you here?"[/blockquote]

_{[ooc]Mind if I post with Onyx here? She's a rogue I made a while ago to join Quetzal and Zephyr, but never got the chance to RP her.}

. To kill a nightingale a bird of song .

Poison turned swiftly at the sound of her name, her lazy gaze stared into the ever changing eyes of Nyx. The tabby she-cat could sense that the other fae wasn't in the mood for a fight so she stayed calm and relaxed as the tuxedo she-cat lectured her on how this was her home. 'Ohh you know, I was just walking in the neighborhood with my friend over there,' The tan rogue pointed her long tail at the corpse before continuing, 'I decided to stop by and surprisingly I forgot that you still lived here.' Poison felt a little vulnerable with the other she-rogue staring into her eyes comfortably. Though she couldn't say anything, the other she-cats frightening eyes didn't bother her either, even though they should have. Shaking her head to clear it casually and licking her now clean paw once more before looking back at Nyx, 'Just trying to relieve my boredom, has your mother ever told you not to play with your food? 'Cause mine never did,' An evil smile spread across her face as she stared at the body behind Nyx, she thought she should remove it since the other rogue was still living here.

//. sure Spiceh, it's open ^^

The sleek black she-cat padded slowly through the loner lands, her blue eyes bright. Though it was very cold at the moment this seemed not to bother her, as her winter coat was very long and thick. Onyx's ears suddenly pricked up at the sound of voices not too far away. A smile slipped upon her face and she picked up the pace, shortly arriving in the clearing. There were two cats here, a sandy coloured skinny female and a black and white she-cat. The tuxedo seemed to be trying to defend her territory from the other. Onyx stepped forwards, still grinning her own sour smile. "Friendly little get-together we have here" she purred silkily, stepping forwards to stand closer to the she-cats. her black stance relaxed.

Nyx rolled her shoulders and adopted a more straight face. Her pale yellow eyes blinked, scrutinizing the femme as she spoke, top to bottom. She had become pretty good in the area of body language, identifying every little movement that a cat made. It made it easier to get into their mind and zone in on their weaknesses, what made her enemy tick. The tuxedo she-cat rolled her eyes with a smirk. She giggled a bit and lifted herself to her paws, pacing a bit. The moment a mother was mentioned, Nyx reeled on Poison. "Dammit, Poison." she growled, her hackles rising and her neck fur bristling. "Don't you start that crap with me." Actually, Nyx wasn't sure if the other she-cat knew about her motherlessness. As she realized this, she lowered herself down. No, she'd let go of herself, she lost control of her actions. The tuxedo took a deep breath, exhaled, and looked at Poison once more. "Just make sure it leaves," she murmured, her eyes narrowed.

Instinct kicked in and Nyx wheeled around to face the newcomer. "Hello," she mewed, her voice even. "So, you like to simply waltz on into other cats' home too, hmmm?" The she-cat rubbed at her temples before sighing, somewhat distressed. "Oh well. If you two plan on staying, then give me a reason to let you. I would actually enjoy some company."[/blockquote]

<sub>[ooc]Shardeh are you gonna have Nyx continue with Quetzal and Zephyr's work? If you are, do you mind if Onyx joins her?

[bic]Onyx</sub>[/size][/font]

Onyx smiled as the black and white she-cat spoke to her. It seemed that the presence of her and this other cat, Poison she thought was her name, was distressing her somewhat. At the next question Onyx sat down, running a paw lazily over her ears. "I heard some rumours about two she-cats, Quetzal and Zephyr. Their work sounded.......interesting to me. I was hoping to get the chance to speak to them and see if they needed another aquaintance. You don't happen to know where they are staying at the moment?" the dark she-cat said, masking the excitement that was showing itself in her blue eyes.

Poison stared at Nyx as she snapped at her, the sandy she-cat had no idea who the kits mother was, she had just thought the tuxedo fae had been snatched right out of her mothers nest. A smile of what was supposed to be apology turned out to be an expressionless stare. Her ears swiveled around to where sound from her side had came, turning her dangerous green eyes towards the scent of what looked to her like prey. The tall she-cat stared at the ebony coloured she-cat with blood-hungry eyes, shaking her head as Nyx spoke. After she heard the blue-eyed female tell her story of intruding the sandy rogue laughed, it wasn't of what you called a laugh of a bully but a deadly laugh that would feel like thorns pressing into your skin. Mock spread across her face as she stared delectably at Onyx, 'Ohh! How beautiful, darling! How wonderful indeed! You just don't hear much, now do you? Quetzal and Zephyr! Now there's a hard group to get into! But not anymore I'm afraid, seems to me that they just got up and left. Leaving their precious successor in their place.' Poison almost wanted to define herself as their successor but for some odd reason she didn't feel right doing it. The tall rogue stood her full height for a moment before sitting back onto the cold white ground. She looked from Nyx to Onyx, then for a moment to her dead prey behind her.

Nyx let her claws slide in and out. She was becoming somewhat annoyed with Poison, taking the words right out of her mouth as if she had some authority over her or something of the sort. She could see that gleam in the other she-cat's acid green optics, how she wanted to claim herself the heir to the throne of the almighty Quetzal and Zephyr. The tuxedo narrowed her eyes, which had by now faded to a mint green, working their way to blue. That would be a bit of time, though. "Yes, and that would be me," she chimed, shooting one last warning glance to Poison before returning her gaze to Onyx. "They probably wouldn't have let you anyway, if I know them at all. Zephyr will put you through a thousand tests before letting you join, and then when you're done, she'll tell you that you didn't do it well enough and to do it all again." Nyx shrugged before rolling her shoulders. "Of course, Black River won't be without danger in their absence," she said, unsheathing and inspected an ivory claw.

OOC;; she might let her join, but she'd probably want her to live somewhere else, since, she's still secretly clinging to the hope that Quetzal and Zephyr will return.

The ebony looked scathingly at Poison, before turning her attention to Nyx, who seemed to be the one with the brains. She blinked slightly as she heard that Quetzal and Zephyr were no longer around, before focusing on the black and white she-cat. "Hmm. I see. So you are their successor? Yes, I did hear that they had an apprentice, you are Nyx correct? Well, you just said that you wanted some company. If you would let me, I would be willing to work alongside you. Of course, you would be in charge, seeing as you know the ropes already" she said silkily, knowing that Nyx would almost certainly think she was bluffing but she may as well try. Nyx seemed fine for another cat and Onyx could cope with living with her. But would she be allowed in?

Poison stared arrogantly as Nyx glanced at her in annoyance, the cannibalistic fae smiled venomousily at the other to she-cats. Her tabby fur brushing passed the tuxedo she-cat to get back to her kill, her nasty green eyes staring deliciously at the dead fox. Blood showered all around where she had been playing with the half-dead vixen, Poison took the remains into her jaws and padded back to the two rogues. 'I'll be leaving now, don't have to much fun without me. Come visit me sometime by the Acid River, Nyx.' Poison laughed menacingly as she dragged away her torn apart meal.

The tuxedo femme nodded, rolling her neck and stretching her legs. "Yes, I am indeed Nyx." She narrowed her eyes. What did this cat take her for? What did she take Quetzal and Zephyr for? Didn't it even cross her mind that the former terrors of the forest would teach their apprentice a thing or two about what cats would say to get out of things? Such an easy bluff to see through, this cat gave her. Nyx rolled her eyes at Onyx. "Yeah, okay." Her pupils drifted over to Poison and her vixen. The tuxedo female waved her tail in farewell. "Perhaps I might." she murmured, just loud enough for Poison to hear but half to herself.

Now, to deal with the other cat. Nyx turned her head back to the black she-cat. What would she do about her? A partner would be nice. After all, Zephyr and Quetzal were friends and successful murderers, were they not? And company would be nice. Of course, this Onyx would have to prove herself trustworthy enough to share Nyx's home. "You can assist me in a few kills. If I think you're a good partner in crime, then maybe I'll let you move into my den with me."[/blockquote]

The sleek she-cat's mouth twitched as Nyx saw easily through her charade. She had been pretty sure that the tuxedo femme would, but it was always worth trying flattery. Her eyes filled with a very rare flicker of genuine thanks but they soon turned back to the mask of a slightly self-satisfied air. "My thanks, Nyx. I'm sure there will be a place comfortable enough for me to live for now. Whenever you think the time is right, I'm ready. For now, I'll find somewhere to sleep" she said silkily, before turning to pace away, her tail swinging slowly.
