Maribelle "Mari" Dawn

*It was a dark night in Hatchetfield, cut through only by the shine of the full moon. But, as there often was, there was a chilling energy in the air. Danger prowled the streets of the "quiet" island town. Many had said during the last 2 months that they'd seen a strange creature in the night during full moons. These would be easy to dismiss as rumor and paranoia, had each not not been begun with roar from the forest, like that of a tiger or lion. And tonight started as the last 2 did.*

(The ghost possessing Aiden that night gets so startled by the roar that gets out of his body, fading away. This leaves Aiden standing in the woods, confused.

*The trees around Aiden seemed to go silent, not even the sound of a locust or bird... what was hearable was the rustling of leaves. going from one tree to the next, as if something was up there... then there was a sound, a strange sound... Not quite human, not quite animal, like a horrible garble of a feline larynx with a humans mouth movements*

(Aiden freezes the instant he sees and hears the thing jumping down the tree, his whole body tense)

*After a moment, something came through the bushes. it was humanoid, but completely covered in fur, with large near glowy eyes. the fur at the top of its head came to slight points, and there were slight hints of color there amongst the black fur.*

(He stops moving in panic, body frozen against his will. He stares at that creature, shaking)

(He doesnt stop staring at it that whole time. He fights against the panic, thinking of what he could do. Run? Hide? But what if it follows? He had seen documentaries before and it never ended well for the prey.

RRRREEEEOOWWW!!

(He looks away a few times and curses when he sees the cat creature. He checks his pockets in a desperate attempt to save his life- and he notices something soft. He quickly pulls it put and finds a small plushie. He gasps. Venus’ catnip toy! Thank fucking God.

!!!

(When he hears the monster run where he’d thrown the toy and sighs in pure relief when he sees the cat creature playing with it, clearly high with the catnip. He stops to catch his breath, eyeing the creature.

Mrrrreeeheheheh!

(He jolted when the beast laughed [Why could it laugh?], taking a few steps away. When the cat… monster starts running and rolling like crazy he just… stares. Holy hell it was like watching his cat when it was high… if his cat was ten times its size.

!!

(His brow furrows. Why was it… part human? He clears his throat to try calm himself down)

. . . . . .

(He tilts his head at it, then looks up at the small piece of sky he could see through the trees. Full moon… full moon!?

. . . mrr...?

*It was an average day in Hatchetfield. Nighthawks screeching in the woods, some distant argument heard from the park, and.... a black cat, with a leash vest bolting right past Melissa on her walk. Followed by a clearly exhausted woman with colorful mowhawk running after it, trying to grab the leash it was dragging.*

S-SORRY! SORRY! He's got to much energy- OBI!!
