Disclaimer: Don't own Essen. As much as I like her, though, I think she should stay in the hands she's in.
Dark. Cold. Wet. What was going on? Opening her eyes, Essen glanced about the camp. The fire was out, mostly due to the fact that there was a massive downpour. The moonlight was almost gone, the subtle yet eerie morning darkness setting in before the sun properly rose. Her eyes adjusted quickly to the darkness; there was still some light, so her eyes still worked. Where waseveryone? Strange prints went from bed to bed.
Not a movement from the rest of her party. It was almost as if.. No.
They couldn't have been kidnapped.
Or worse.. Eaten.
No. They wern't eaten. She could feel their presence still. Even now, as there was nobody but herself.
A noise. A faint grumbling sound coming from underneath her. Cat reflexes in full motion, she leaped from where she sat to a place a few yards away.
Again it echoed. Again it was below her. She jumped again and darted to the nearest tree. Scrambling up it, she sat on a branch. That noise was notgoing to get her. Not this kitty.
Once more it rippled. Still the same distance, so close and yet so unplaceable. It was only then that she realized what it was.
"Oh no. No. I didn't." She whimpered as her cat-ears drooped. "I... ate them. And I'm still hungry." The last phrase left her mouth with more dissapointment than the first.
She thought to herself for a moment, trying to catalogue who was in her stomach. Just one of those abilities that came with the whole regurgitating thing. She noted each and every party member as in her second stomach, as well as one or two she didn't recognize, and sighed a breath of relief.
But then, there was the problem of getting out of the tree.
a/n: Haaa! XD She does sleep-eat. It's funny, actually... because she does it often. When we need to explain a PC's dissapearance (as in the player has to leave).. She sleep-eats them. ;;
So for her to eat the entire party.. well. It wouldn't be odd... -Lochoko
