blink and your dead i'm quick, i'm cunning, and i never miss (( Rot )) (( i've been playing lifeline, an app I got in 7th grade. its like a story came, but i got it again this year, and i forgot how creepy it is. the main character has my same name, so I'm half freaked out over here, just thinking, 'what if this was me...' ))
The stars were bright overhead, but slowly fading into the grey dawn. Fog hung low in the fields, creating an eerie feeling. In the fog, even the most harmless objects looked like monsters, ready to jump out and grab you by the throat. None of these thoughts helped Asphyx as she padded through the thick fog, jumping at every sound and tree branch. To her, everything either looked like a dead cat or a cat getting ready to slash her throat. Old memories returned to haunt her as she quickened her pace. She was heading to the canyons, where she knew she's be safe within the caves.
Paranoia, however, had other plans. She nearly ran into a cat, which was actually a rock, and scared herself silly. She fell to the ground with a yelp, and once she found that she had been scared by a rock, she got up shakily, and felt stupid. She had survived a war, but was scared by fog and rocks. So she began her pace again, but slower, but in case. However, nothing she did seemed to help as an owl hooted overhead, and she froze. If a cat saw her through the fog, they would think she's a kit.
(( asphyx is around the age of 18 moons ))

Rot felt safer in the fog, where no other cat could totally see his disfigured pelt. About ready to doze off, Rot's ears pricked up when he heard a slight yelp. Turning toward the sound, Rot noticed a figure of a cat. Calling out into the fog, Rot meowed smugly, "Don't like the fog?"

blink and your dead i'm quick, i'm cunning, and i never miss Asphyx stopped mid-step when a smug voice rang out over the rocks and hit her ears. She turned in a frantic bustle, mostly because she thought it would be the ghost of Phoenix, come back to take revenge. If she was ever to imagine what Phoenix sounded like, she imagined he would sound smug and superior, just as this cat was trying to sound.
She turned again, whipping in a circle. If it was a ghost, she supposed she could fend it off by herself, so she snapped, "I'm not overly fond of what it brings." She whirled in a circle one more time, before her eyes found another cat's shape. Her tension instantly released, and she stood up straight. "Who are you?" The question slipped from her lips. She wasn't exactly thinking anymore, too paranoid to ask any reasonable questions.

"Who are you?" Rot countered back, standing up on the rock he was on. Making semi sure that the cat couldn't properly see him, Rot meowed, "My name is... Call me Stinger."
(Stinger is what his crush calls him, I think he might out the real answer later...)

blink and your dead i'm quick, i'm cunning, and i never miss Asphyx eyed him as he stood up straighter. When he gave his name, she considered it strange, but she gave him his answer anyway. "I'm a cat you've never met," she said. He had asked who she was, and she answered that that was who she was. She would give her name later, but she never truly liked giving her name to complete strangers. She had really never had to, since strangers usually didn't like talking to her. They were scared of her, scared of her appearance, and what she was capable of. It had been a lonely life, and now she was glad the fog was so thick. She didn't want to scare away another cat.

"There are many cats who I had never met." Snarled Rot, his tail flicking. His icy blue eyes gleaming down at the other cat. He could tell that the cat was a she-cat, other than that he didn't know.

blink and your dead i'm quick, i'm cunning, and i never miss Asphyx looked to the left, her mouth a straight line. "Yes, well. You can't meet everyone. I was simply answering your question." She drew her eyes back to the cat on the rock. She could see he had blue eyes, and a dark pelt, but she wasn't close enough to see anything more. She couldn't tell what kind of pattern was in his pelt, but she guessed she would figure it out sooner or later. The fog would soon clear as the sun climbed higher, but as the fog revealed him, it would also reveal her, and her horrid scars, caused by wars and numerous battles. Most of them, though, weren't from claws, but falling rocks. She winced as the thought of her friends came back to mind.

"I assume you have met everyone?" Rot snarled, not knowing why he was entirely angry. Maybe it was because of represent stuff, it was scaring him.

blink and your dead i'm quick, i'm cunning, and i never miss Asphyx furrowed her brow. "Far from," she answered, confused by his anger. She had done nothing to make him angry. Perhaps she might've said a few sassy comments, on accident, as they tended to slip out, but one wouldn't get this mad at them. "Most of whom I've met are dead."

The last part made Rot flinch. Death, it always got him. He was afraid of it. He only wished it would consume the one he hated, not the one who actually cared about him. "Friends, family? I'm guessing?"

blink and your dead i'm quick, i'm cunning, and i never miss Asphyx's voice grew a sad tint to it, even though she tried to hide it. She didn't have experience hiding emotions, so she wasn't good at it. She had never had to hide them before, and now she needed to, but she wasn't sure why she felt she had to. "Father, mother, sister, dear friends, acquaintances, everyone I used to know." Again, she found herself staring off into the fog, rather than at the dark figure she was talking to. "Sometimes I think I'll wake up, and the cave was a dream, but then I see where I am, and reality bites me."

"Get use to it." Rot snarled, "Sometimes, reality shows no mercy. It targets some people, then leaves others alone."

blink and your dead i'm quick, i'm cunning, and i never miss Asphyx took a step toward him through the fog, throughly confused. She had come from a place where most cats either ran in fear from her face, or were continuously kind to her. Sure, she had met cats such as Cricket, who ruthlessly killed cats for no reason, but the cat talking was much different from cats she had met.
When warmth began to filter through Asphyx's pelt, she looked up and saw the sun higher in the sky than it was before. The fog would soon be gone, and she could see that it was already thinning. She quickly looked back to Stinger.

Feeling a small amount of warmth, Rot nervously looked at the she-cat. Her pelt was slightly beginning to show. Rot knew his odd pelt was too showing. The tortoise was quite nervous when the she-cat would see his majority kinked tail and ear. His lopsided whiskers and very patch pelt. A few of the scars Rot had earned made the parts they were at bulge out oddly. A clump of his fur was still missing from a previous battle. Still standing tall, Rot squinted as the Sun began to come out more and more.

blink and your dead i'm quick, i'm cunning, and i never miss Asphyx took a step back, scared of how he would react to her scars. She had been a pretty cat, until she earned her scars, and now she didn't think she was very pretty anymore. Truthfully, she hadn't seen herself since the scars, but from the looks she received and the yelps of fear, she guessed she was a nightmare. However, as she watched the cat in front of her, she began to see his pelt, as well. It was patchy, and he had a kink in his ear, as well as his tail. His whiskers were lopsided, and he also had scars. She was surprised, and instantly felt as if she was closer to him in some way. "I'm Asphyx, if you were wondering," she said.
