x.This is good in a bad way (nem)

[emzie]

So far, death had not been such a bad thing for Gadget. At the same time, it wasn't really a whole lot better either. He supposed it was good that he wouldn't have to look at his father's disappointed face again or hear his nasty comments. Well...or so Gadget thought. That face, that voice...still haunted him.

"I told you that your stupid antics would kill you!"

"You don't deserve a second chance at anything. You'll just fail again."

"You will never amount to anything in death, just like you didn't in life."

Gadget was determined that he would amount to something, despite the constant barrage of negativity in his mind. He wasn't sure what it was he wanted to be, but he figured he'd just wait and see what happened for now.

He had been wandering about in purgatory for a short time, curious to explore his surroundings while waiting for judgement. Gadget had no idea which place he would end up, since he didn't consider himself bad enough to be in hell and yet not exactly good enough for heaven either. The decision was made for him, but not in the way that he had expected.

Gadget had come across a rather odd looking pool that he felt drawn to. He stepped close to its edge and leaned over to see if he could see into its depths. Only darkness was visible. He dipped his dark paw into the water, and at once was sucked into the dark depths of the pool.

The young red panda was not sure what happened, but felt like much time had passed when he awoke in a strange place. Numerous pointed rocks jutted out from the floor, and the air was thin and dry. Gadget could not see anything except for the pointed rocks; they seemed to go on forever.

He immediately began to panic. He ran around feverishly, frequently running into the rocks as he tried to find his way out. After several moments he realized his efforts were futile, and stopped to rest and lick his wounds.

"You will never get out of here, you are too weak!"

The maze was a rare place for Nemesis to be, because it gave ff a claustrophobic feel. Nemesis was not one to be backed into small places. She was vicious, so needless to say she would be the one causing damage- But that was irrelevant. The idea of being trapped was almost a painful one. However, Nemesis was known for holding her own. Known for holding the Thanatos's own. She was a feisty opponent, one anyone would regret facing. She held a well known reputation in Hell, and knew it only came from experience.

The maze had a dim light, if anything the rocks barely humming with light. It was a long cave, however Nemesis was a feline, therefore had exceptional sight. Her soft paws carried her delicately over the hard earth that has now been called hell almost delicately. Her paws were silent, making the cave echo quiet drip. . . drip noises. It was almost eerie, really. Though nothing these days made Nemesis's fur stand! Purple eyes shone through the darkness, narrowing and expanding every once in awhile. Slits turned to balls, and orbs turned back to slits, a never ending cycle.

Nemesis walked deeper into the cave, when she heard a strange sound; It was much like a popping sound, yet silent at the same time. Perhaps she.... Felt the sound? It was strange really; But Nemesis then saw a small figure. She smiled to herself, smirking. Aidou, she whispered to herself. Her brother was not with her, but it was habbitl. The creature would not know what it meant- It didn't need to.

My, my, my, what do we have here? Nemesis cackled loudly, standing perhaps ten feet from the racoon-like animal. It must be a red panda- It looked much like an orange racoon. I suppose you must have fell in from the Unconsencrated Pool, you poor thing, Nemesis laughed, with a mocking sympathetic tone. She would have felt him if he hadn't just dropped in.

He wouldn't be returning, that was for sure. Nemesis would make absoulute sure of that. This was the perfect oppurtunity for the slave trade to start! Nemesis smiled a cruel smirk, full of a deadly, fatal anxiety.

As Gadget licked his wounds, a large cat appeared before him. He hadn't seen an animal quite like it during his life time, but he was sure by the looks of her that she was not someone to cross. She muttered a word he did not understand, and began cackling and laughing about his situation. Gadget began backing away from her, but ended up backing himself into a rock instead.

He heard her say something about an unconsencrated Pool, he opened his mouth to ask her what she meant, but then closed it upon realizing that must have been the dark pool he fell in earlier. It felt like it happened so long ago. "Where am I?! Who are you?" He demanded, straightening up his frame and trying to shake off his fear.

He hoped he was still in purgatory, but something told him he wasn't. Purgatory wasn't exactly a pleasant place, but it did not have the dark and eerie feeling of his place, and certainly did not have animals with the same air as the large feline that stood before him.

Nemesis could smell his fear, feel his trembling in the air; It danced around her, sung song's to her, beckoned her more than anything. She was known for her merciless savagery, however, she thought it would be fun to play for awhile. The small red creature backed away into a stalegmite, and Nemesis smiled over him. The cheetah knew this was a rather well oppurtunity to gain a slave, to gain something from not killing! His hesitance gave ehr confidence.

However, he stood a little taller, and... Why, he was demanding things of Nemesis! Who the fuck does he think he is, Nemesis thought. However, she did not let her temper get her just yet. Where are you? You must be in a nightmare, you poor thing, if you're crossing paths with me, Nemesis snickered, then walked closer to the small creature. She stood over him now, gazing down at him with those strange, purple eyes of hers. She smiled, baring her teeth obviously.

You small creature, I don't really think you're in a position to be demanding things of me, Nemesis's voice was somewhat threatening, yet at the same time welcomed a reply; She was a walking contridiction, really. She bent her head down close to the creatures face, and bared her teeth more so then before. She wanted the creautre to know who was in the throne here. You know where nightmares are most common, no? Nemesis slurred the words, narrowing her eyes with a cruel, toothy smile.

Get it together, Gadget, stop being such a wimp!

The voice screamed in his head as he sat backed into a rock, cowering before a menacing feline in a dark and terrifying place that was completely unknown to him. His father would be so horribly disappointed in him.....

Gadget decided he wasn't going to be pushed around by this big kitty. This kitty was also a female, and he couldn't stand to think that he could be pushed around by a girl! A big pussy was trying to mess with him! How dare she! Gadget stood as tall as he could muster, trying to stare the feline right in the eyes as she stood over him.

"I am not a 'poor thing'!" He growled.

He meant to continue on, but was distracted by her eyes......purple eyes! Gadget had never seen a creature with such a color eyes. She barred her sharp teeth at him, and he held back from crying out in fear, instead only trembling slightly.

It was true that when it came down to it, he really did not have any business demanding things of a predator who was well acquainted to this mysterious place. Gadget still knew it wouldn't be wise to be weak in front of such a creature.

"I only asked where I was....a simple question. Unless you can't answer it...." He chuckled a bit as he finished his statement, feeling that as he said it that it was unwise and she'd probably get angrier, but what did he have to lose anyway?

Her teeth barred once again, she inquired something about nightmares. "Doesn't matter, nightmares don't scare me" He replied, narrowing his gaze as he told her a blatant lie.

So he wasn't a poor thing? From Nemesis's point of view, he was worse tham that. He was a poor thing endangered because of her very prescence. The growl in his voice, however, was somewhat encouraging. Perhaps he had a backbone somewhere, shivering underneath all that pathetic fear. His effort to sound strong was insulting, but also intrigued the cheetah. What does that make you then? Perhaps.... Dinner on a golden platter? Nemesis purred, stepping closer to the small rodent creature.

What the red bear said next only insulted the Nemesis, and she hissed in an anger. He was obviously instigating something. Mistake, you piece of shit- Nemesis growled. She stepped forward, and let her paw bear down onto the creature coon-like tail. She pressed hard, letting out a sadistic sigh. She smiled, and cackled. The animal was now backed into a corner, her paw still on his tail.

Nightmares don't scare you? Nemesis mused, cocking her head sarcastically. She could smell his fear, which told her otherwise. Well, if thats the case... Nemesis stopped. Her eyes glinted with a cruelty that ran through her blood. She bent her head down low to the mammals ear. I want you to chose right now... Life or death? On 'death', Nemesis snapped her jaws close to the red panda, a smile tearing ear to ear.
