Catatonia

Long legs carried him through the dense woods, kicking up topsoil and leaves with every push and pull. He ran along the border of the pack lands,cleat-like claws pushing into the dirt and ripping it from the earth In.Out. This was how he vented. No one could hurt him, not Collision, not Ephiphron, no one. He was immortal here. As long as he was alone, no one could hurt him. Animals parted from their usual routine as the beast blazed past them,the paths of streams were disturbed as he passed over them. He was immortal, he was an ultimatum, he was Neo Adr-No. Just Neo. He was just Neo. And he liked it that way. Everyone else did to. Part of him knew that was a lie, but part of him wanted to believe it was true. The part of him that had been planted in his mind since he was introduced to his 'Siblings'. His jaws clenched around a squirrel that made the mistake of crossing his path as those painful thoughts entered his mind. His head thrashed wildly from side to side, through the shrieks of the dying animal until it grew cold behind his fangs. Killing didn't make him feel better, it made him feel guilty. He dropped the dead animal and laid down in front of it, mourning it in some small way. Pitying the life he took.
