My Demons are Worse

The Cat and The Tiger

Waking up I had to cover my eyes as light hit them directly. I turn my head to see Cinder sleeping on the chair next to me. Smirking I stroke her hand as she starts to stir. "Hey Cindy, hope your not waiting for me," I say chuckling as she instantly wakes up and tackles me to the bed. "Don't scare me like that! Idiot!" She yells as I hug her, comforting the woman. "Come on, like I'm going to die and leave you alone," I say as I kiss her on the lips. When we separate I go to stand but get forced to sit back down. Looking at my hands and feet, I see shackles with decent lengths of chain on them, bolting me to the bed. "Cinder, could you give me a hand?" Gesturing to them as she starts to heat up the metal.

I damn near melt the chains on my arms as I snap them as Cinder releases my feet, leaving me with shackles with broken chains on them. I grab my jacket and put it on as I go to open the door, revealing 2 atlesian knights. They then point their weapons at me but I grab them and break their front ends. "This seems a bit unnecessary in my opinion," I say as I hear a handgun being aimed at me. "Return to your cell, or I will shoot you," Ironwood's voice sounds out as I sigh. I turn to look at him with a 'really' look in my eyes. "And why should I listen to you?" I say as he shoots me in the shoulder. Th bullet bounces off and hits the wall as sigh in annoyance.

I look behind him as Ozpin along with RWBY, Summer and Leora are standing glaring at Ironwood. "James, stand down. He is with us" he says as Ironwood keeps his gun aimed at me. I walk towards them as bullet after bullet bounces off my body. I grab his gun and superheat it. He drops it as I look at him, amusement on my face. "You done?" I ask and he glares at me before walking off. I look to see Cinder walk out as she Blake and Ruby hug me as Summer watches in slight shock, her ears and tail dead straight. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Ruby cries into my chest as her tail wags behind her. "Don't mention it Ruby," I say as Blake looks at me with sadness in her eyes.

Knowing what is wrong I sigh. "I'm alright you lot, look no injuries." I say leaning into Blake. "Meet me in the courtyard in 10" I whisper so that she can hear and she nods slightly before walking off. "So, what did I miss?" I ask as Ozpin clears his throat. "Well after your minor rampage in your demon form, you fell unconscious for 2 days. James thought it be best to lock you up and experiment on you to harness your demonic power." He explains as I subconsciously growl. "Also, Altas will now have full security control of the event. So please do not make a scene," He says and Cinder's eyes widen. "Professor, there is something I need to inform you of," She says and I nod at her as she walks off with him.

I look at Summer and give a small smile. "So, how you settling in?" I ask and she smiles at me. "It's paradise compared to what I went through. Thank you so much." She says and I wave her off. "No big deal in my part, you and Ruby deserve happiness and I would be happy to oblige." I say and walk away leaving Summer blushing with Ruby glaring at her. I walk to the courtyard to ,eat with the black cat as Blake is waiting for me. "You wanted to see me," She says closing her book as I shake my head. "What? Not allowed to spend some quality time with one of my girlfriends?" I ask sarcastically as she chuckles slightly.

I put a hand on her shoulder and warp us to an undisclosed location. When the mist settles I reveal we are on Menagerie, near the docks. Her expression is of absolute confusion and shock as we walk through the streets. "Thought we may want some time in a place we both feel accepted." I say, my tail waving behind me.

Blake's eyes dart to it and her smile softens at it. "Something wrong?" I ask and she gets startled. I take us to a bench as I sit with her. "When I was young like you I had a tail as well as ears. Then a police dog at one of the peaceful rallies...they..." I stop her there knowing what happened as I put my hand on her shoulder. "I can't say I know how it feels but I can do something else," I say moving my hand to her lower back. I concentrate some magic into her spine as she shiver in place, moaning slightly as her cheeks flush. "W-What are you d-doing?!" She manages to get out as she feels something growing. After about a minute the feeling is gone and she looks at me. "Look behind you." I say simply as she turns her head to see a black tail coming from her waving behind her head. She latches onto me and kisses me on the lips as I reciprocate. We separate as she then nuzzles me, purring softly.
