I'll have the knife in my teeth

The impossible had become possible. 

Clay traced the scent back to its source, and now he stood bare before the reach, a mere ant shrunken before the glaring darkness of the Blackwood. Before him, his past stood. There was no denying it. It was in the flesh before him, bare and righteous. The stench was glaring and blinded him, and though it was repulsive, Clay could not bring himself to react. He simply stared into the barren shadows of the woodland, gawking as if he'd just seen a ghost. 

There was no explanation for it, at least, not one Clay could grasp physically. Mentally, he struggled even there. A fish out of water, tossed from his element. He knew not what compelled him to sink his paw into the mushy soil and cross into the border, to trail further into the dense woods; he only did. Possessed by something dark, impulsive, and destructive. His heart had been darkened at the surface and now Clay's pretty green eyes had hardened with a callousness becoming of him. 

He spoke into the darkness, teeth gritting. “I know you're out there.” He bit his tongue hard enough it drew blood, furious with the way his voice wavered with pup-like fear. Even now, Vengeance elicited such a pathetic reaction from him. Even when he tried to be strong, he could not be.

Clay despised him. He could not put into words just how much he loathed Vengeance; it was a hate that was physical, one that choked him, and threatened to burn him until he was nothing but ashes. It hadn't been long before the bogeyman descended upon him, crawling from the depths of his hellwoods, and the wolf fought to maintain his composure. He fought harshly against his instincts to tuck tail and run. 

Clay had aged but he still felt as if he were that insecure boy fighting against chains of cruelty. 

“How are we here?” He couldn't see him and so Clay spoke mindlessly into the darkness of the Blackwood. He anchored himself to the ground beneath him, squinting through the rain that poured from the skies above. It drenched him, glistening in long trails across his coat, a teary embrace that caused him to shake softly. He didn't know if it was from fear or cold. “W-where are we?” He wanted so badly to utter his next question, and yet couldn't, fearing the answer he might get. Is Valour here?

He grew increasingly frustrated with Vengeance's games and he couldn't choke down the snarl that ripped itself free of his chest, green eyes blazing as they whipped around the trees, frantically searching for the dark wolf. “Stop fucking around and come out!” His teeth snapped, echoing through the trees and sending birds flying from their shelter within the branches.
