The World is Black [OPEN]

[CRUENTUS ONI]

But the world is black


And Hearts Are Cold

Cruentus Oni was in his meerkat form. A hawk, one of the meerkats predators, was chasing him from the sky. It was an Ashling hawk, meaning it had never seen a meerkat before, but it knew dinner when it saw one. And to it, Cruentus was a dinner. But it would be a fatal decision, Cruentus knew. For he wasn't just any old meerkat that somehow found it's way into Ashling, California. But he was a demon from the strange world Reena. He went around a tree, the hawk still following.

This stupid birds going to get his soon... Cruentus thought when he realized the chase was tiring him out. He had to wait until the hawk was just about to pounce. Cruentus liked doing that, just making them feel like they're winning, and...WHAM! Blood splatters everywhere! Now THAT'S a good hunt! He hopped over a bush.

They entered the Golden Meadow. Wildflowers appeared to be everywhere, and grass doing it's best to stand out of the beautiful colors, but it was futile. Cruentus looked over his shoulder as he ran to get a peek at the bird. It was coming closer now. Soon, it would attempt to dig it's claws into him, and whisk him away to it's nest. Not today, not ever, hawky... Cruentus thought before tripping over his own paws, "AACK!" He cried as he tumbled tail over head. His tumble ended on his back, and Cruentus quickly got to his paws. The hawk swooped down. Cruentus stared, wide-eyed at it. It was a foot away when Cruentus transformed.

Suddenly, the weasel-like creature that was a meerkat turned into a wolf-like mammal known as the chupacabra. The hawk stopped and hovered for a moment before spinning around. But it was to late. Cruentus pounced on it, and bit into the back of it's neck. The hawk squawked in pain, before death clouded it's eyes. Happily, Cruentus sucked the blood of his prize. Blood dripping from his muzzle, Cruentus stepped away from the carcass, "Heehee...Stupid mortal bird...Got what was coming to you! Eeehee!" Cruentus giggled and skipped away.

YOU'VE NEVER BEEN SO USED AS I AM USING YOU

abusing you, my little decoy.

Ah, the warm breeze of Summer. It was such a loving, gentle thing. It tousled the red hair of Evelyn Rose, who stood barefoot in the Golden Meadow. She loved the feel of the sun on her as she took in the setting. It was beautiful and sunny, and just overall nice. She laid down on her back and watched the fluffy white clouds as they paraded across the sky. Sometimes they would block the sun, but it didn't matter too much. Just as long as it came back out, Eva was happy. And if it didn't, she could always force it to. She was the summer spirit, after all. She couldn't keep the smile off of her face at such a lovely day. She didn't really need live company as long as the weather was good. When it was bad, she usually had to distract herself from thoughts that intruded, unwelcome in her mind.

Him.

The one recurring thought that constantly plagued her mind. Her smile faded, her brow wrinkling. He was the one thought that wouldn't stay away, no matter the weather. He would stay with her for eternity, she knew. She tried futilely to keep him from her thoughts, but he just wasn't going anywhere. The boy she murdered. His beauty and elegance danced through her memories, and the look on his dying face. His last words had killed her inside. It was murder-suicide. She had to kill him though. He would have died anyway, and she was growing too attached to him. It would have killed her even more if she'd lived with him until he died. To see him age like that, day by day, while she remained as she was for eternity? Not something she could handle. Eva tried to push thoughts of him from her mind, but it wasn't working. She even saw his face in the clouds.

So she was thankful for the distraction that came moments later. A hawk's cry, awfully close to her. She turned, kneeling in the grass to watch what he was doing. He was chasing something small and long, but she couldn't identify it until it stood up on its hind legs. A Meercat in Ashling? Where did it come from? Suddenly she realized it wasn't a Meercat, but something more sinister. Something about it put a damper on her mood, making things ever so slightly colder. She didn't know what it was until it shifted form. A...what was it? She didn't know. But whatever it was, it grew in size and killed the hawk just as it was about to grab the Meercat. It looked like a wolf. She knew what it must have been. Demon... She hadn't seen one up-close like this in centuries. She had to admit, it scared her, if only a bit. She was millions of centuries old, but something about demons still gave her the creeps. She stood and started to walk away, not wanting to deal with a demon today.

As Cruentus Oni skipped, he changed from a chupacabra back to his common meerkat appearance. His hunt had gone well, and apparently the hawk had more blood in it then Cruentus had imagined, just adding to his delight. He closed his eyes, not caring where he went, and began to sing, but it was too low for anyone else to hear it,

"Oodoodoo...There was a hawky, who thought he got me,

Ooodoodoo, and lotsa blood!

Too bad he didn't know, that I was the coolest,
Most vicious demon for Reena, the world's that's the dullest,

Oodoodoo, and lotsa blood!

Aaaaaand looooooostaaaaaa blooooooood!"

Cruentus happily sang to himself, his macabre song barely a whisper. His voice was cold and child-like. Like that of an insane five-year-old that had found it fun to bring his puppy into contact with a knife. After a bit of skipping, Cruentus sat down to lick a bloody right paw, Mmm...hawk blood...Not as good as goat's blood, but... He thought happily as he opened his eyes. There, he saw a red-headed woman so beautiful that Cruentus bet she could charm any mortal man, Because they're that stupid... Cruentus thought with a disgusted snort. Stupid mortals and there stupid appearances. Looks never saved anyone from torture and death. So why do they appraise beauty so much?

One word: Stupidity.

Cruentus got into a hunter's crouch. He had seen many woman liker her down in Hell. Most of them were prostitutes and/or committers of adultery. He bet that this female mortal was one of them. But as Cruentus stalked her, the more Cruentus began to think differently to her. he felt no amor, but he did feel slightly awkward as he planned her death. As he crept closer and closer, Cruentus couldn't help but think he recognized her. Her figure just seemed familiar. If only I could see her face...That could help. The demon speeded up to her, being as stealthy as he could. He went around her, using the foliage as his camouflage. He hid behind a tree a few feet in-front of her. There, he could see her face, Well, I'll be! It's that Summer spirit dame...What was her name again? Eh, who cares? At least I know I can't kill her. If I had tried to, then...then...Actually, what WOULD happen? Cruentus thought, unhappy that he couldn't get a taste of mortal woman blood.

He was reminded of his first kill outside of Hell, in Reena. It had been a woman, married to a scruffy old man called Rutts. Rutts had wanted Cruentus to kill her, for reasons he didn't bother, or want, to find out. As long as he killed, he was happy. Cruentus twitched his black-tipped tail. It was a happy surprise to see another immortal here, even if he couldn't kill her. Ooh...I know! I'll surprise her! When she comes over here, I'll just pop out and 'AAAAH!' Heehee! It'll be so much fun! Cruentus thought as he ducked behind the tree, his childish personality trait taking over.

Cruentus Oni lashed his tail happily. If he was a cat, he would've purred.

YOU'VE NEVER BEEN SO USED AS I AM USING YOU

abusing you, my little decoy.

Eva trod lightly over the meadow, aiming for the trees. She would find her peace somewhere else. If a demon was around, it would only cause her trouble, and she wasn't having any of that. So when she checked behind her to be sure it wasn't following her, she sighed heavily. It was nowhere to be found. That meant it either decided to leave, which was unlikely, or it had spotted her and was now stalking her somewhere. She ran an aggravated hand through her auburn hair and stopped to look around. It seems I'm not getting out of this encounter today... If she knew anything about demons at all, she knew they were no good, no matter the circumstances. So She shrugged and walked off to meet her fate, not particularly caring anymore. If it found her, so be it. If it didn't, all the better for her. It wasn't as if it could kill her anyway.

She moved slowly toward the trees, not so much apprehensively as leisurely. When she reached the trees, she stopped. Should she really just walk into a confrontation like that? She wasn't so sure anymore. She bit her lip, debating. Finally, she stepped forward into the darkness of the forest. She picked her way around bushes and ducked under boughs of leaves, not quite sure where she was going, and not really caring. She didn't really live anywhere, anyway. What destination would she have?

[CRUENTUS ONI]

Cruentus Oni smiled widely as Eva came closer and closer to the tree he was hiding behind. Okay. After I jump, I'll change into a chupacabra and she'll be so scared!! Ooh! This is going to be so much fun! His lashing tail became faster and faster by every heartbeat. His excitement was gnawing Cruentus into almost complete submission.

Cruentus watched as Eva took a step closer to him. He put his rump high in the air and wiggled it. The black-tipped tail of the meerkat demon was so fast that it was a blur, "Ooh, this is gonna be goooood...!!" Cruentus Oni's smile was so large that it was almost to large for his narrow face. When the Summer spirit at last came close, Cruentus jumped. Air-born, he turned into the wolf-like creature with spikes on his back known as the Chupacabra, "YAAAAH!" He cried, as he came closer and closer to Eva. Suddenly, Cruentus allowed himself to fall flat on his stomach. He sat on his rump and licked his right-front paw nonchalantly. After three licks on the pad, Cruentus put his paw back on the ground and grinned widely at Eva, "Heehee! Got you!" Cruentus Oni transformed into his regular meerkat form. He grinned widely at her, "Haha! I bet you were scared!!" He hopped onto his paws and skipped around the Summer spirit, "You were scared, I know it! You were so scared! I bet you screamed! Loud, too! Ho ho! Ooh, I bet you screamed louder then that stupid hawk! Eee!" He stopped skipping around Evelyn and wiggled his rump in-front of her.

If he was a cat he would've purred.

Note: No worries, my post isn't any better. x3 Ugh. I had to make Cruentus blab so much to get this post into the 300's. Oh, well. At least he doesn't go out of personality...
