YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE SEEN THIS ALL BEFORE

The cycle continues.

The boy had remained sheltered within his several weeks staying in Tanglewood. Most individuals still did not know him, and it was something he was working towards fixing. The former experiment still has much to learn. Still, despite everything, he's managed to find himself a father. Someone who seems to genuinely wish to take care of him, and help him, and keep him safe. And, seemingly, too, he wanted to reciprocate those desires.

But the boy is too broken, and still knows too little of the world. And that would be his downfall.

He was never meant to be free.
He was never supposed to last this long.

Do you smell that?

The former burning tiger is gone.
The staining scent of the Pitt remains.

Of all the people for the Pitt to take, Roy was probably the worst possible option when it came to Wormwood's wrath following them. The close second being Moth, but Roy? Oh, whomever had taken the son of the chaser was going to be in for a terrible time when Worm was done with them. The lion had noticed Rpy's absence when he had woken up in the morning, but he had figured the other was just out and about, exploring yet again. Worm couldn't blame him, considering how the small tiger hadn't really had a chance to experience all of the camp yet, and he was probably curious about all of the others that resided within the town. Needless to say, Worm wasn't very worried about it when he first woke up, and ye went through most of the day without being too worried about it either. Roy was a strong and smart kid, so Worm usually wasn't too worried about him being snatched. At least, he wasn't as worried as he was for someone like say, Moth. However, it seems that he had been a fool in just assuming that Roy would be able to hold off an attack.

As the day came closer and closer to it's close, Worm felt his worry began to compound, wondering where the hell the tiger was more and more as time went on. Eventually he decided to go searching, letting his paws carry him throughout the entire territory, looking around for any sign of his son. As his searching continued, becoming longer, Worm could feel himself getting frantic. Panic was burning his chest before long, until eventually he came upon... the last signs of Roy in the territory. The last lingering scents of the boy, mixed in with the disgusting scent of the Pitt. Almost immediately he felt his lips pull back in a sneer, both exhaustion and rage gripping him as he turned and roared, his claws digging into the mucky earth beneath him, the lion finding himself wishing that it was the head of some scumbag Pittian, "They took Roy! The fucking Pitt took Roy!" The lion found himself pacing around in circles, his jaw clenched as he mumbled furiously, looking not dissimilar to the lions in zoos, moving back and forth along the wall that enclosed them, "I can't believe they fucking took Roy... they took my son. I am going to fucking kill them all!"

But she knew that the child had been adopted by Wormwood, which, she guessed, made her an aunt of sorts. They weren't related by blood, Worm and her, but they were close enough to be siblings, and she knew that he shared the same sentiment, and she was appreciative of it. When she heard the anguished roar of his at the border, the winged leopard would quickly make her way over there, ears pricked and jaw open in case she needed to find him by scent, though the smell of the Pitt quickly clogging her senses made her choke and freeze, worried that she would come across him fighting with someone of the Pitt - or worse, being dragged away or killed - and she wouldn't be able to do anything.

Though as soon as she got closer and cleared the trees, relief would wash over her to see that he wasn't hurt, and there was no one of the Pitt there - at least not at the moment, and not that she could see - though when Worm spoke once more, the anxiety rushed up again. Roy was taken? Mouth opened and she breathed in scents once more, confirming it for herself as soon as she had done so. It was true. "Worm you need to calm down," She would speak, padding forward and attempting to put a paw on his shoulder in such a way that it could be comforting. "We'll get him back, don't worry. We need to tell Crow and Leroy what happened." She was worried for the boy, confused as to why they would take him, and could only hope that he was ok.
