Perilous Beauty

[Storm Wolf]

"ok cat explain yourself!" Tiger growled. Kavik had nothing to say, he remained silent and still standing behind her. Tiger reached back and grabbed the panther by hiss scruff, then she slamed him on his back in front of her "D*mn straight having a girl like me protect him....that is if I don't decide to kill him for his silence!"

Jade entered the apartment when she heard the thud, but she did not interfere, not just yet.

[R-iZZy]

Stealth stood from his crouching position to a mor relaxed position. He shook his head at Kavik in disappointment and just felt ashamed of how much Kavik seemed as a threat. "You know, you should really pick the people you play with!"

Stealth held out the handle to his glowing kitana and withdrew the blade. He pointed it at Kavik's throat and snickered. "I'd truly hate to be you right now."

He held up the blade and was ready to swing.

[Storm Wolf]

"Stop...I will not let this happen!" Jade walked in closer "You musn't kill him..." It was the destraction he had been waiting for, Kavik slaped Tiger across the face digging deep into her cheek.

Tiger wouldn't allow such a thing to go unpunished and she was upon him before Stealth or Jade could do a thing. It was now hard to tell the difference between the two panthers in their death struggle. Both panthers separated then froze in mid charge.

Jade had her hand held out "you will obey me!" She shouted "Or else you will remain in this most uncomfortalbe position for the rest of your days!"

[R-iZZy]

Stealth didn't know what to think. This was all too disorientating. He tried to see a way, but could only see those eyes again. Dammit, they haven't bugged me for so long! he though to himself. Those eyes he swore was behind him, but now was haunting him.

Stealth dropped to his knees and held his head, trying to get the image of the eyes out of his mind. They clung on to his mind for all it could. I told you I would be back!!!

Stealth bowed his head, his body trembled. He shot his head to the ceiling and let out a gigantic yell! The eyes disappeared, he was standing in a room full of silence. He didn't know what to do. He felt somewhat embarrassed, but what could embarrassment do to him? He was an atrocious freak of nature. There was no thinking out of vanity at this point.

"What the hell?" Stealth asked himself under his breath. He stared at his hands, wide-eyed and wondered what those eyes would do next. He hadn't seen them in so long. Why come back all of a sudden?

[Storm Wolf]

"I can be civil if you will let me go." Tiger promised, her eyes followed Jade, it was the only part of her that could move "Very well...but we must find something to contain this panther...I can only hold him for so long."

Tiger wasn't to concerned with the panther, the Witch or whatever she was seemed to have the beast under control for the time being. Tiger put a hand on Stealth's shoulder "Hey...you ok?" Tiger was giving him her friendly, concerned look.

[R-iZZy]

Stealth looked up to Tiger and shook his head slowly, a disturbed look on his face. "That's the last thing to describe m..."

The eyes came back, but the visit wasn't as painful as it usually was. The eys stared at him, piercing through his mind. I got a surprise waiting for ya.

Stealth opened back up his eyes and stared at Tiger, "I ain't okay worth a bit. And you know what makes this even weirder? Whatever is trying to reach me has a surprise for me..."

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger arched a brow contemplating on what Stealth had said "Hmmmmmm...."

Jade interrupted from the side "Touching....but can we get back to this panther....I can't hold him forever..." She was shaking, holding still.

Tiger glared at her "Watch who your talking to...This is my house if anyone will be giving orders it will be me!" Tiger growled

[R-iZZy]

Oooh, cat fight! Stealth thought, but declined the mental image to pop up. He walked between the two and held both of them back.

"Now Jade's right. Enya is in there somewhere, and we have to get her out. Anybody got any ideas as to how we can about this?"

SURPRISE!!! REMEMBER THE SURPRISE!!! IT WILL COME TO YOU!!! those eyes came back. But Stealth decided to reject the normal reaction to the eyes and ignore its message.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger looked at Stealth "Ok....an explanation on the roof." She turned and stared at the holes in her bedroom wall, then pushed her fingers through her hair "Whoever breaks the next thing answeres to me!" she growled. "Will ropes hold the cat?" Tiger asked, and Jade nodded "Yes....temporarily."

Once on the roof Jade explained her current situation "So how did I get brought into this?" Tiger eyed Stealth and crossed her arms, trying to seem angry, like she hated the idea of another adventure.

[R-iZZy]

"Oh don't give me that look!" Stealth said to Tiger. "I didn't do anything. Well... maybe I did. It was this pussy cat right here that messed it all up. I risk my neck to save ya, and I get the evil eye?"

Stealth tried to put up a smile, but that was something he didn't do well. Instead, it ended up a very sickening smirk. "I didn't break anything! That was just the cat over there."

Stealth didn't know what to say next. He looked over at Jade with a stern look and demanded that she find rope. "We're gonna need some rope. I don't know what Tiger has kooked up in this hole she calls home... (looks at Tiger with a grin, then looks back at Jade) but try to find any, if possible. By the way, where do you keep all the rope, Tiger?"

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger smiled back at Stealth "Hmmm...rope, now where do I keep it? Lets see...was it in the closet? no....I got it....be right back!" She dissapeared temporarily, then came back with rope and a string of christmas lights "Well i figured why not make 'em look pretty while we have him tied...no but really all I have is this little piece so I had to improvise..."

Jade bound the cat's feet with what was provided, while Kavik spat and chomped at her hands.

Tiger stared at Stealth for moment, thinking "Hey wait just a sec....you call my home a hole, and just where do you live?" she narrowed her eyes and grinned.

[R-iZZy]

((OOC: Why did they edit that??? That was not what I meant by that word!!! ARGH!!! This is so unfair. I hope I'm not warned for this, because that word was misinterpretted!))

Stealth stared at Tiger with a sly look and an arched eyebrow. "That was just a joke... Martha Stuart! Look, can't we forget about the apartment's, the apartment's... eh, it's 'looks' and just get on with the matter at hand? Here, we have a possessed feline and some Christmas lights to hold it."

Stealth looked at the rabid Kavik, as he continued his struggle to break free. Stealth looked over at Jade, "That's some tyin' ya did there. How about we put a missiletoe above him and put a star on top?"

[Storm Wolf]

((OCC: I think it'll be ok...))

Tiger glanced over at Jade "So...how do we go about this?" Jade shrugged "Thats where you come in.." Tiger raised a brow "What do you mean by that?" She then looked towards Kavik "I have no clue what to do here!"

Jade walked over to Tiger and looked her in the eyes as if trying to decide something "Yes...I can see Tala in you...your features...your powers...." Jade trailed off

Tiger glared at Jade "And just who is Tala, may I ask?" Jade smirked "Thoes sepants told you nothing of your past? My dear, the humans tricked you for so long....Tala is your real biological mother." She paused "Did you think they really would have kept you in the war if you were just a plain human?"

Tiger's anger fell, she couldn't believe her ears "So then...I'm no really a mutant?" Jade answered her swiftly "You are still a....mutant....the heat power you possess is not natural...but the shifting powers are natural."

Tiger looked to Stealth trying to find an answer she knew he didn't have or at least trying to find some comfort that he still excepted her if this were the truth.

((Mod: Yeah, we know. It was the automatic filter that did that, just so you know. They added quite a few new words recently. You're not in trouble.))

[R-iZZy]

((OOC: Hmmm... that's quite an editor Anyway, I have no idea what's being run by what nowadays. It's like computers will have their last laughs in the future. Eh... what am I saying? *points a finger to the sky* On with the RP!!!))

Stealth shrugged his shoulders in confusion, he had no idea what to think. And who was Tala? As if he knew what to say in a situation like this. "You know, I'm not the comforting type, Tiger."

He slowly approached Tiger in sorrow and placed an arm around her shoulder, "And right now, I think that trait will still stand. I have no idea how to comfort someone in finding out that they are the daughter of a person named Tala. I usually am not pitted in these situations, if you could understand that. Hopefully, you can."

He noticed he wasn't helping, so he had to do whatever popped up in his head. He darted his head to Jade, "Explain about this Tala to Tiger. As if it weren't bad enough that you popped up with this Tala bullcrap. But who is this person you speak of?"

Stealth didn't think that would ease the tension in the room, but he had to do something. It was the most that Jade could do for Tiger, seeing that she had just filled her with these overflowing emotions. Stealth had become impatient, become worried, and angered. He always saw Tiger as a strong person, but now she looked so emotional. So vulnerable. Jade needed to answer some things, and answer them now!

[Mouse]

((OT: I think that this thread is an interesting story. A soul stealing lady named Jade...who'd a thunk it??? ))

[Storm Wolf]

((OCC: Hrmm...didn't think anyone was reading....))

Tiger leaned on Stealth letting his body support some of her weight, she felt a bit faint, all the signs had been there since she could remember...that the scientist and doctors were not telling her the truth, she had just chose to ignore the facts.

Jade looked at Tigers face "Do not be so distressed, my dear...your heritage is a proud one...Tala was my closest friend and confidant. She was a great warrior in her time as well, though she never did like the battle field too much." Jade smiled as she recalled the old friend "She was the only one who could stop Kavik and his clan in the old days....as her spawn I would think you could continue on with it." Jade wanted to approach Tiger but Stealth was still beside her like some huge bodyguard.

[R-iZZy]

((OOC: Hey... someone is reading this RPG. Strange, ain't it??? ))

Stealth grunted at Jade, as she attempted to approach Tiger in comfort. He felt more than Tiger's weight on his shoulder. He felt her pain, her sorrow, her distress. He had no idea how to feel though. You'd think you had your life straight, until the slightest update alters every single d*mn thing. Stealth thought to himself. He nervously leaned his head against Tiger's and attempted to hug her, but refused to let emotions take him that far.

"Ya heard Jade," Stealth said in a comforting voice. "She said your 'ol lady is a fighter. She could defend herself, just like you. I mean, didn't you see the way you had that big furball held? You were great against that big cat."

He felt as if his words were not affective at the moment. The attempts, he felt, were just a waste of his time. But he noticed that this was the first time he put someone else's feelings before his. Strange, I never saw Tiger like this! Stealth thought to himself. He couldn't think, he could only wish to transfer her sorrow to his.

"No need to go emotional about it. I know the scientists lied to you all this time. But just put it behind ya. You got a mom, and she's a pretty tough cookie. And for all we know, she could've been very beautiful. What else could explain your beauty?"

Stealth knew he had taking comforting to another level. Tiger was his sister in spirit, to him. He would say anything to make things right, even if his words were a bit shocking. But as to go as far as her beauty? It was peculiar, but it was out of desperation to ease Tiger's mental nervousness.

[Mouse]

((i just like what i've been reading so far. and thus, the need to compliment on it. Krrp up the great work all))

[Storm Wolf]

((OCC: hehe....all))

Tiger nodded slightly to Stealth's words "Well...(long pause)...nothing has ever stopped me from being who I am before....not the millitary... and definatly not some lady I have never met before." She tried to comfort herself with her own words, but she couldn't conceal what she was feeling from herself.

Jade commented on some of Stealth's words "Indeed your mother was one of the most beautiful in the land...but she never took to much pride in that..."

Tiger noticed Kavik still raging "Well...I guess it is sorta my duty to make sure this city is clean of other huge cats...it is my territory."
