a crow swoops through the sky and you are startled by the sudden croak that escapes it. your gaze drifts back down as your heart returns to its normal pace. your gaze settles on a tall oriental who walks through the shadows as if they are one of the same. he seems tired but there is fire in his cloudy eyes. his fur is as black as his heart and white stars dapple across his pelt. his gaze shifts to you and a shiver runs down your spine. you can remember now - you can remember who he is. the scars are enough proof for you. this is a predator. your breath hitches in your throat as his gaze meets yours and reasonably - reasonably you know. even if he cannot see you, he is already aware who you are. you were. and who you will be.
