My entry for @Interdemensional 's DTA! ||BLOOD WARNING|| Name: Rosethorn Gender: Male Rose. Wonderfully mysterious, and deeply misunderstood---there was always something wrong with him, wasn't there? He wasn't like the other cats. While everyone else hunted mice and rabbits, when Rose came upon a rabbit, he would crouch and watch it hop about the undergrowth, never moving. Also unlike the other cats, he had deer antlers embroidered with rose flowers. But sometimes, when he stopped to watch a rabbit hop, his tail began to twitch. He flexed his claws as something snapped in his mind and he suddenly went ballistic out of weeks of hungriness. He wildly pounced on it and tore it into smithereens. Blood ran down his fangs and unsheathed claws. And right after the kill the rabbit would be gone to Rose's stomach. Little did Rose know that someone was watching him from the bushes. The next day, Rose was watching a rabbit hop again when the signal for a battle echoed through the kingdom. He dashed through the forest, through the gates of Felari in a hurry. Unlike the rest of himself, he loved watching these challenge battles. They were mostly to see was worthy of becoming a soldier for the cat kingdom of Felari. "Rose," Fang, the first fighter, said. "Come forward." Rose flinched. He slowly walked up to the tall rock. He tensed his muscles, ready to spring. Before he knew it, he was opposite of Fang, his unexpected opponent. "I saw you rip up that rabbit earlier," Fang growled. "Now you'll try to rip up ME. And once you're done with me---" "I know what you're pushing at. I won't do it," Rose snarled. "Oh yes you will, Rose. You can't stop a storm YEEEOOOOWWWWW!!!!!!!" Rose gave a deep growl before pouncing onto Fang and sinking his claws into his back. He ripped his claws through Fang's fur. Fang turned around and kicked his hind paws into Rose's underbelly, flinging him across the rock. He pushed himself up again and sprang wildly towards him. Fang suddenly clenched his jaws around Rose’s hind leg. He sunk his teeth into his maroon fur. Rose went crazy and shook himself to try to get away from the growing pain, away from the growing misunderstanding until the darkness inside of him took over and he heard an ominous rrripsnap. And then his head flooded with pain as he stumbled backward and leaped off the rock. He had three legs and he knew it from the tremendous pain in his left hind leg. Blood splattered across his antlers, causing dark roses to grow around the prongs. The crowd of cats went wild. Fang had won the battle and Rose was left with fear and depression prickling through his fur like icy thorns. From that day on Rose called himself Rosethorn. And he truly was like a thorn, sharp and unforgiving on the outside but afraid of the world on the inside. And never the same again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope you liked this story! I know it had a lot of violence in it, but I did my best!
