HAUNTED PILLOW BENEATH MY HEAD // open, oneshot

[CAESAR CIPHER.]

IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD !

CAESAR CIPHER. MALE. THE TYPHOON. OFFICER.

Oh, Caesar was livid. The news of his sister becoming the leader of Snowbound had just reached his ears, and the demon was practically storming his way through the ship and towards the mess of a beach that had been left over by the tsunami. Caesar could feel the urge of wanting to light himself on fire rising through his body, but he wasn't going to do that just yet. No, he wanted to relish in this feeling of anger, before he expelled it out. That should be me! The Officer growled to himself mentally, claws digging into the sand as he glared at his reflection on the waves as they came up to him. I should be leading, not her! Caesar knew that Atbash wasn't a leader, she was too passive of a person to lead and demand things. Vigenere leading was one thing - and Caesar would honestly be scared if Vigenere led Tanglewood, but mostly for his own safety - but Atbash? Atbash had no bone in her body that would even give her the chance to lead. So what was Jacob thinking, promoting such a weak person in his place.

Then again, Jacob wasn't exactly a strong-willed person, either. But Caesar thought he had a bit more commonsense than to promote Atbash in his place, but apparently his thoughts were wrong. Atbash was going to end up being a terrible leader, and Snowbound was already weak - Jacob was just condemning his group! Caesar grit his teeth as he thought about this, his tail lashing. If he was that desperate, he could have just asked me. Sure, he and Jacob had a terrible history with each other, but damn, at least if he led, Jacob would know that Caesar would make Snowbound stronger. Atbash will be that group to its death. He just knew it would happen. It was bound to happen, with her personality.

With an angry hiss, Caesar finally gave into the urge of wanting to feel flames on his fur and his tail lashed one more time, sparking a small flame that burst across his body, burning off some of his fur as it traveled across the Officer's body. Eventually these flames calmed Caesar down, and laid down, letting the waves crash over him and douse the flame covering him. Steam came off of his body at this point, and he was soaking wet, but he didn't care. At least he was calm now. Caesar started walking backwards, making his way out of the ocean as much as he could and sat down on the sand, staring off into the distance. He knew sand was bound to stick on his fur at this point, but hey, it was fine. Everything was fine now.

//tl;dr: Caesar heard about Atbash becoming leader of Snowbound and took off towards the ocean and lit himself on fire, before letting the waves crash over him and put the flames out. He's just sitting on the beach now and staring off into the distance, a lot calmer than he had been at the beginning of this oneshot
