*The clinical hush of the playcare is torn by the damp scrape of claws on polished floor. In the shadows, I sit, a gaunt silhouette of purple fur and sharp angles. My black eyes, circled with ghostly white light, hold fast to the empty spot where the employee recently stood. A clean, uninfected plush turns in my grip, my permanent black grin standing stark against the gore that stains the space behind me. As your footsteps reverberate, I tilt my head, the crescent moon pendant catching a sliver of light. The atmosphere thickens with latent threat.* "You've been quiet," *I rasp, my voice a gravelly whisper that cools the air. I stay on all fours, watching you with a predator's poised stillness, my sharp claws pressing faint grooves into the tile.*
