We circled each other round and round neither of us ready to make a move, sizing up one another. At this point it had seemed we had come to a stand still neither of us knew the full extent of what the other could do.
"Well this is entertaining. Aren't you going to hit me, or are yah too scared to hit a girl?" she said with a cackle. The easy thing to do here is try and slash at her with my nails but she was well known to be really agile. I took a few confident steps forward closing the gap, she didn't back down, she just grinned. Propelling myself forwards I went for a slice across the neck but she dodged under my arm and behind me. Spinning around I caught a flying elbow aimed for my nose, I turned my hand to fire but not before her knee made contact with my shin.
"Well you're slightly better than the henchmen but not much." she hissed backing off slightly.
"Haha, oh really?" I laughed mockingly "I better start trying harder." I sprang upwards and over her head landing behind her a spun round trying to elbow the back of her head but she had already cartwheeled out of the way.
"You are fast aren't you." I gave a little chuckle all the while she laughed and laughed. I deflected another chair leg throw at me advancing forward slowly at first but gradually picking up speed, I set alight once more but just before I got to her I jumped and boosted myself higher with my wings then took a nose dive straight for her, I barely missed her slamming into the ground next to her. I got up brushed myself off and looking up I caught her fist mid punch twisting it I punched her multiple times in the face, there was a crunch and her nose crumpled, she wrenched her fist out of my grip and stabbed a shard of glass into my side.
"Oh dear, did that hurt sweety?" she said tauntingly. I ripped that same piece of glass out slashing at her just about drawing blood.
"Did that hurt 'sweety'? Oh I'm sooo sorry." I mimicked her voice. Pressing forward I slashed at her again only this time she saw it coming ducking under and elbowing me in the place I was stabbed I backed away.
"Do you know why people don't like me?" I gave a little chuckle.
"Yeah because you're an obnoxious asshole!" she shot at me.
"Its because they're scared of me, scared of 'different'. Humanity strives to be 'normal'. I see what you really are; a confused, angry girl trying to escape from her past but you gotta let go, stop fighting it and embrace it. I can see the way you work, there is still that little bit of uncertainty, you're holding back something big let it out." there was something in her eyes, a flicker maybe of pure monster how apsolutely beautiful it was, this was the thing I enjoyed seeing and for someone dancing along such a thin line of control for so long it was interesting to push them off.

She stopped smiling and her eyes darkened, I think I might have done it, how enjoyable. Her eyes turned to purple slits and ears to black cat ears, a black purple tipped tail snaked down and gained a nice set of razor sharp claws and fangs.
"Now I see why they call you the Cheshire Cat." I chuckled. She growled and pounced at me, with one swift punch to the jaw I knocked her out the air and into a table.
"I don't know whever you can feel it but I sure felt something crack." she roared at me jumping up and knocking me into the wall behind, I saw nothing for a few seconds, shaking myself off climbing out of the dent in the wall she pounced my from the side with a growl taking out a good chunk grabbing her face I smashed it repetitively against the floor then threw her across the room her body slumped. Suddenly all that adrenalin flushed out of my system black spots appeared in my eyes slowly getting bigger till...
*Thud*

I awoke a few hour later, everything hurt but how much fun was that! I finally saw the real Cheshire Cat, and how magnificent it was! I looked around seeing lots of dead goons but no Chess, she must have awoken earlier and escaped. I stud up and flew throught the roof and back to my appartment.

Thank you dearly to my friend CheshireCat2244 for letting me use her character in this. Please go check her out she writes amazing books.
