As night approached, Claw Noir insisted he could protect the night alone since he had told his lady she needed her beauty to sleep more often. That is why he stopped by her place to ensure she slept.
"I'm very sneaky as a cat, princess. I don't sneak in anyone's bedrooms to drink their blood like Dracula" Claw Noir chuckled.
"That's because my beauty tamed your inner beast within," Marinette said.
"That's right" Claw Noir replied.
"Very well but no biting bad guy asses unless you're really hungry for real, not for predatory instinct," Marinette said.
"I got this. Meanwhile, you better give Tikki and yourself some rest" Claw Noir said.
"Kitty, I'm serious. I know you enjoy lurking but no biting. Unless you prefer to bite on the ass literally" Marinette said.
"Okay, fine. No biting. But only when I'm thirsty for blood" Claw Noir sighed in defeat.
"Good Kitty" Marinette kissed his cheek.
"You humans bite too for defense" Claw Noir slowly licked her cheek.
"Yeah, though former fighter Mike Tyson bit off a part of his opponent's ear," Marinette said.
"Yes, well, I don't bite off ears. I bite necks. Now please go to sleep, princess" Claw Noir said.
"Good luck Count Kitty," Marinette said.
Claw Noir morphed into a bat to fly out the window to hunt for bad guys as his prey. He searched through the streets and the rooftops. It started to rain which he didn't care about, despite being the black cat holder, he isn't afraid of water but his kwami does hate water. As he's still part vampire, he couldn't get sick by the rain. His enhanced vision spots something moving in the alley and he sure did not like bandits with guns. So he dives down and morphs back to human form, landing like Black Widow.
He looked at his pose and found it ridiculous. "Ugh, that was disgusting." He shuddered at how stupid his landing pose looked.
So he got up and sneaked up to the bad guys. He had to keep his promise to his princess about not biting on the neck.
"Now let's get dangerous" He whispered.
"Just shut up and get your ass in gear! That cat could be around here somewhere and he bites nasty! Move it now!" They all said.
"Get the guns ready!" Another one said.
Claw Noir spots a bow and one arrow in the dumpster, obviously still usable but he needs a good shot at this.
"Hmmm….maybe a shot in the ass will be painful" Claw Noir levitates it.
He grabs them and pulls the arrow back and fires at one of the thug's bottoms, "YEOOOOOOOOW!" "The hell! Someone shot my ass!" He shouted.
"He's near!" Another thug raised his gun.
"Get it out! Now! And I want him dead!" The wounded bandit said.
"Come get me!" Claw Noir dodged the bullets.
"Find him! Don't let him get away!" They said.
"Aaahhh! Move! Move!" They shrieked when they saw a morphed cobra slithering its way.
It sprayed venom from its fangs to try to blind several of them temporarily.
"ARGH! MY EYES!" One of them screamed.
The cobra morphed back to him. Claw Noir got the upper hand to whack them with his baton. He struck several very hard with the baton and then extended it to a staff to strike down the other ones.
"What the hell do you want?! I won't let you think of me as your damn prey!" The one left standing tried to shoot him.
"Oh, I'm not going to kill you," Claw Noir said.
"Wait! Wait! It's not like you can show up here and scare us to death like that!" The thug backed away.
"I am the terror of criminals" Claw Noir approached.
"Stop! Don't sink your teeth on me! What have I ever done to you?! You're just a kid!" The thug ends up on the wall.
"You terrorize my city" Claw Noir said.
"The world is always at war, kid! Nothing you can do about it! Just please stop scaring me! You already kicked my men's ass!" The thug begged for mercy to live.
Claw Noir raised his claws to punch him but instead punched the wall.
"Aahh! The fuck?!" The thug yelped.
"You forget that the world has shades of grey" Claw Noir pulled the arrow out of him.
"OWW!" The thug screamed.
"Next time, I rule at night. If you want to live, I suggest you don't get on my bad side or my claws will do more than scratching your face" He unsheathed his claws.
"Okay! Just don't do it!" The thug pleaded.
"Good. Now get your ass out of here before I change my mind" Claw Noir hissed.
The thug then ran away. However, it wasn't just about scaring off the criminals, they were unknowingly trespassing the street cats' territory as he heard them meowing in the shadows of the alley.
"Get them!" Claw Noir signals them.
The swarm of cats then chased the thugs.
"Heh, and they forget about animal rights. Such fools" Claw Noir said before doing a wall jump to the roof, rain still pouring but he didn't care.
He saw the same old 19th-century statue of Paw Noir in the park. The same one the day after he disappeared, his people honored him.
"If only they knew," He said and placed one hand near the statue, "The threat is now over"
Paw Noir changed his human life but now Claw Noir was his resurrection, even as a vampire. Coming back from his undead sleep was something he never chose to do but given a second chance at life. Meeting someone inspired by his heroics and became his lover. His people from his time would be proud of him by then, even his parents and late descendants he never met.
"I miss you a lot, Paw Noir," He said to his statue.
He then resumes his patrol. Of course, his stomach growled and he needs to feed or lose his sanity for sure.
"Oh boy!" He rushes to find someone to feed on.
Either a rat in sewers or an inhuman person he can find. He can't break a promise to Marinette this time. He pulls up a sewer lid and jumps into the sewers.
"Agh! Gross! Much worse than the sewage catacombs!" He cringed at the smell.
He searched for any rat to feed on. The smell was worse but he needed to feed right now before he went blood frenzy. He heard squeaking and smirked to follow the noise. He ran on all four and turned into a cat and pounced on it, biting down to kill it. He turns human to drain the rat of its blood. Animal blood doesn't always satisfy him, only human blood but rats will have to do. Vampire nature is just like human nature. Blood for vampires, food, and water for humans. In order to live and survive.
He growled in frustration that he needed human blood and fast before he tried to attack anyone, "I gotta get more!" He rushed.
He needed to get to the nightclub and try to remain sane before he did something like a monster.
He morphed into the mist to get out of the sewers and headed to the nightclub, morphing back again as he entered.
"Look, it's Claw Noir," One guy said.
"You. Come here" Claw Noir hypnotized.
The guy approaches him and Claw Noir grabs him before getting to a hidden spot to drink his blood. For Marinette's sake, no killing either. But as long as she knows he wasn't doing this for his vampire nature, he was doing this to remain sane. He can't live without a blood source. Once he had enough, he let go of the guy.
"Now sleep like a drunk idiot" He commanded.
He goes into the club, and sees several teenagers dance, "It's the hot Kitty of Paris!" One fan girl squeals in excitement.
"Merci. Now then, I came here for a drink" Claw Noir said, not interested in sex or dance.
"One glass of milk as usual?" The bartender asked.
"Yes, but warmer this time, please," Claw Noir said.
"Coming up" The bartender warmed it up.
"Thanks" Claw Noir grabbed the glass and drank it.
"Look what the cat dragged in" The female thugs laughed.
"Are you here to entertain us? Even girls like me are hard to please" The leader of them asked.
Claw Noir finished his drink, "No, but for you ladies to be warned that it is dangerous to get on my bad side"
"You think we should be scared? Your costume for trick or treating doesn't intimidate us. Not even a candy treat for you" They taunted.
"You don't wanna do this" Claw Noir warned.
"And why not? A virgin freak who's afraid to have sex?" They almost tried to reach his cat bell but got their wrist snatched by him.
"Don't! Ladybug is the one for me!" He shoves them back, "And never ever talk about sex with me you filthy bitch!"
"Alright! We'll back off!" The lead girl said.
The feline hissed loudly at his serious he could be if they ever tried that again, "Good girls" He smirked, "Now, if you don't mind, I like personal space. This feline does not like to be petted" Claw Noir unsheathed his claws to intimidate them.
"Whoa! Whoa! As much as all women hate to break a nail, you wouldn't want to break a claw, would you?!" They yelped.
"Of course not. But you wouldn't like me when I'm angry" Claw Noir said.
"We all get super pissed off to show our bad side, pussycat," They said.
"Seriously" Claw Noir scoffed.
"Unless you want everyone to watch your scary side" They gestured to everyone looking at him.
"Oh, you wanna get scary? Let's get scary!" Claw Noir growled.
"Make your move before you end up in a litter box" They dared him.
"You were just leaving'" Claw Noir unsheathed his claws, "Who wants some?" He dared.
They all decided to listen since no one wanted to get scratched or lose an eye. Getting on his bad side would be dangerous since no one wants to suffer so many painful scratches.
"Just what I thought," Claw Noir said.
"Just get the hell out of here!" They said.
"Gladly but never get on my bad side again. Crossing a black cat is bad luck you know" Claw Noir growled lowly and headed for the exit but not before leaving a huge scratch mark on the wall.
