Cheshire's Woods

"Don't fail me now, Cheshire!" The man's voice rang in his ears. Kurai gritted his teeth, gripping the branch of the tree he was on tightly. "You died for a worthless rebel like me, you idiot! Why!?" he muttered angrily, remembering one of the rare humans that fell into Wonderland before.

The Cat's thoughts were interrupted when he heard THEM. "There he is! Go, men!" The soldiers of the Kingdom of Hearts appeared, spears and swords at the ready. Kurai clicked his tongue. He removed his cloak, exposing the claw he had hidden for so long. "It looks like we meet again, soldiers." he said and charged at them.

It took a while, but he managed to kill all that attacked him. The trees and the grass was stained with blood as he tore them apart. A trail of blood was what he left, as he walked away from the bloody scene. "Try and try until you die." he murmured and disappeared into the safety of his woods.

"There he is! Go, men!" the patrol leader called. Half of the patrol jumped but was charging alongside the leader in the next moment. Everyone leveled their sword and spears as they tried to take down the Cat.

"Fools." Tillia muttered from where she sat on the branch. She had sensed the cat a while back and had split from the group to try a sneak attack. Now they had gone and eliminated any of the stealth she'd had. Tillia kicked her head back against the tree and waited for the battle to be over. Even she had to admit that the Cat was a skilled fighter and the soldiers weren't very well trained. They were a surprisingly expendable part of the Queen's army. Unlike her she thought with a smile. She woundn't waste her energy unless she had the advantage.

Tillia cocked her head when she heard the sounds of battle stop. Tillia waited another moment and then hopped down from the tree. The battle scene was grusome but it was nothing special. Tillia stepped over a severed arm and investigated the scene. She grimaced at the messy handiwork. She would have thought he had learned to use that claw by now. At least when she murdered, there was some grace and finesse to it.

When she'd completed the Queen's report she sat and wondered what she should do next. The patrol wasn't due back for another hour and she was done with her report. Tillia kneeled down and picked up two bloody spears from the ground. She let out a faint smile. She hadn't done much hunting in her human form and the cat would certainly make for interesting prey. She examined the scene a bit more and noticed the blood trail leaving the clearing.
"Here Kitty, Kitty." she muttered as she began her hunt.

Kurai could hear someone's voice. Blaming his strong ears, he remained hidden, his eyes darting around like flies. 'Damn the Hearts. Damn the Queen.' he thought to himself and switched trees, pulling his cloak tighter around him. After landing on the third tree, he licked his claw.

Not like he was a cannibal- He just somehow enjoyed the taste of blood. Especially if the blood was from a soldier of the Hearts. Most lovely when it was the- "Dammit." he muttered lowly. He hated it when he got lost in his thoughts of blood. Absolutely hated it. He'd have to go wild.

He sensed a strong presence. 'What a presence. Kinda like......a Jabberwock or something.' he thought. 'But why would a Jabberwock be out for my blood?' He suddenly remembered where he got his claw. 'Oh. Yeah, right.' He waited in silence, for the person in his woods.
