The Short Version
Ok to sum up my life. I lived like any other kid in the slums of Neopia. I was part of a gang (The Bloodlusts) and worked hard. I was on my way up the gangly latter when I was pulled from that life. If you were caught three times by the authorities, it was off to the cells for you. I was caught three times, and sent off. I was given another chance though...A free break out really, and started over as a slaver. I would buy (or steal), raise, transport, then sell unwanted pets as slaves. I kept one for myself...heh..But during that time I actually sold friends of mine, beat a kid that looked up to me in the gang, and killed the old gang leader..Life was pretty good..until the men that had caught me so many years ago did it again. I was in jail for a long time, and only got out by faking my death. Now I live in somewhat peace, but old habits die hard. So I still fight, pickpocket, keep a slave to myself, and I still wear the gang's old symbol. A red bandana, with yellow star like things..You could wear it around your neck, left arm, right ankle, or around you nose and mouth. I prefer to cover my mouth and nose...All this time I kept it...and I kept the dagger that I killed him with. Then, of all things, I fell in love. Who would think that a gang slump like me would fall in love?..So maybe you want to hear my story...maybe not.. NOTE: This is a quick not descriptive, short version of his life and doesn't really have the details I would like it to. Please read the longer version..

The Bloodlusts
The fire cackled that night as I huddled around the warmth, joking with my best friends...In a way we were more then friends, we were connected, by 'friendship' and our gang. All of us were sitting in the den on The Bloodlusts' main..well..den. We all wore the red bandana with yellow fleck, star things on it. I wore it around my nose and mouth, Riko , a scuffed red Kougra, wore it around his left arm. Pike, a hyper little red Lupe, wore his around his right ankle, and Mika (the only krawk of the gang) wore hers around her neck. "Oh you wouldn't believe what Den did! (Den was me..XP)" Shouted Riko "He jumped clear out of the shadows and landed on the man! He said he fell out of his wind*w and that the guy saved him!!" Everyone laughed heartily "Oh! But the best part was when he found out that his purse was gone!!" Faces turned red with laughter as Riko finished. This is basically how we spent our days and nights. Pickpocket, steal, give some up to the tespu (or gang leader) pick a fight with the other gangs and (every now and then) do night watch. The tespu, a shadow Lupe walked in. Normally if a gang member was painted it was because he/she was a snoop from the rich part of town sent to get some dirt on us...but not our tespu..We would call him tespu, or sir..or Lord..We all turned and knelt down one the ground immeadietly, with out feet pulled under our bodies and head pressed against the cold earth. Eyes were kept at his feet. We knew our place...Only higher officers would kneel on one knee to him, and only his most trusted members would stand in his presence with out him telling them to. His voice was deep and commanding and he called out "Den. You and your lot have night watch...Peko got jacked by the Vipers.If you see one, show no mercy." I dare not look up from the ground and said "I do as told, my lord." There was a long pause before he spoke again "Rise, Den." I moved up to one knee, for I knew better then to stand straight up. I kept my gaze down.."You have showed your commitment through trial and few failures. I'm moving you up to a sleco" A selco was an honor. He would give you something of his, and that was skipping the rank from kelt (Which I had been) to ripo(which was right below Selco…)"Thank you my lord." He turned and left..This was the life of The Bloodlusts Gang. You served under your tespu and lived life day by day.

A fate turning night...
We walked out of the den and into the crisp night air. Night watch was basically jackin' anyone that came in our terf. So we walked around and jacked a trader who paid us 50 gold peices each if we spared his life. Then we saw a Viper and beat the crap out of him. Well I wasn't too active with the first one...That night I was scout. I would run ahead perch myself, and run back to the group to tell them what was coming. Well after that I saw a fae...didn't look like she had that much but we still had steam to blow from that Viper.Vipers wore black sahses on their shoulders and they were our rival gang, just to let you know. Anyway....I moved up the street she was headed and told my boys.We all spread out on the street, and Pike and I stood on the sides of a building in plain veiw. Ah Pike. He looked up to me as if I was and idol.Pike looked at me "You want this one..erm boss?" All slecos were called 'boss'Hehe,"Naw you have your fun I'll watch for athors."Athors were the athorities... As the fae came closer Pike and I moved in one either side of her. We kept our distance a bit and paused for a moment. Pike whistled loudly and Mika and Riko jumped out of their spots and started to tear her to shreds. Pike jioned in as I looked out.Then I heard it. A sharp whistle.Great! Pike had whistled so loud and Athor heard!. "A-Bs on the road!" I called. The group let up and heard me just as the cop rounded the corner. "Split, meet back in the den!"I called and sprinted off. Out of all of them I was the most tired from running back and forth so I ran the slowest, and naturally the cop chased me.He was blowing his sharp whistle loudly and was waving his Shock-B. A Shock baton (or Shock-B) was like those regular batons cops have with them except they shock you. They have three setting..Shock, Paralize, and Kill. The baton glowed yellow so it was on Parilize..'GO!GO!MOVE HE'S GONNA THROW THAT SHOCK-B AND THEN IT'S STRIKE TWO!!!" In this town you were given two warnings then sent off to the cells. I had an 'X' scar right where they were supposed to put the mark (curtosiy of my -edited- parents) so they just put ot over top the 'X' and so it looked mutated..I ripped around a corner and tripped on a rock.Who puts a friken rock in the middle of a road?!?!?! Well the cop threw his baton and it hit square in the back, between my two sholders..I screamed out and knew no more..


Strikes 2&3
A woke with a light shining brightly in my face. I went to reach for the burning spot where the baton had hit me but found I couldn't move. I was parilized from the neck down, chained to the chair I sat in, and numb too. I groaned and saw that I wasn't alone. A Lupe and Gelert in cop uniforms sat infront of me. There was a little black box between them, and a glass vial with purple goop in it."Well, by the mutalated scar on you maw I'd say that you've been here before." Every time you got caught they burn half a skull shaped scar into you maw. Mine looked wrong because of the 'X' shaped scar my parents gave me was right where they had to put the skull. "Let's start with this.."The gelert held up my bandana. When caught we were told to take it off so that cops couldn't force out where the den was. All the cops knew about what colors went to which gang.I answered him with a stare. "Always the hard way.."The lupe comented and stood up, holding the purple stuff. The lupe walked over and yanked my jaw open. He shoved the liquid into my throat and eventually I had to swallow.
Truth serum tastes SO bad.I tried to pull back on telling them all the wanted to know...But MAN! They gave me like 4 doses of that junk! I fessed up, to the people we jacked that night, and where the den was and even who I knew in the gang and what they looked like. Now we would have to move our den or else we would be watched by them until they found something wrong, then they'd come in like the S.W.A.T. team.Just as I felt completely drained, ashamed, and on the virge of passing out, the Gelert opened the black box. Inside was a blazing peice of metal. The bottom half of the skull. He held it carefully as the lupe forced my head to the side. The gelert pressed the peice in hard. My head jerk with an unexpected energy burst and the metal bit went flying. In landed on the face of the gelert and slid down his face. He screamed and I saw blood. I heard the click of a Shock-B turn on and then I saw black.
I woke up again right outside the den. I heard voices and saw two poelpe on the street that were dressed in rags, but the figures screamed cop. I mean what would you think if you saw two hefty, muscley, deep voiced guys in rags. Anyway, I could barley move and felt pain surge throughout my whole body. I saw blood on my hands. That's when I saw a figure come around the corner, followed by two others. "Den?" One of them called. I could tell it was Mika. They ran over to me and Mika was on the verge of tears. Pike reminded her "Not near the gang..." And she sucked it up. They brought me into the den and put me on a mat. "We've all been worried. You've been gone for 2 days...no one knew what happened to you." I wanted to tell her about the police, and that the den wasn't safe, but every time I even thought about it my mouth wouldn't open.So a started heavily accenting words, and sylilbles...I hoped some one would pick up on what I was trying to say. That's when I saw the tespu. He approached ma and couldn't kneel like everyone else, or bow, so I averted my eyes. "Den I was hopping to give this to you when you got back, but you never showed up." I felt ashamed that I hadn't. The tespu continued, "So I'll do it now."He handed me a wrapped dagger. The blade was perfetly shaped and weighted."I thank thee, My Lord" I said still marveling at the dagger. "That was my favorite wepon, and so now I think that you'll find something new to do to it."He almost smiled then stopped/ It would not be proper for a tespu to smile. He began to walk away when I felt my heart start to pound and my body began to tingle with pain. A started to have a spassam. I hadn't realised, but on the inside I had been fighting the force that kept my mouth shut. Finally it tore open and I gasped out the secerts, between viloent jerks."A-Bs....Caught..Skull..Purple..Truth...4 doses...They..know where...the den is...!!" The spassam stopped, my body wouldn't move any more. The tespu looked at me."You told them?.......Truth serum...?" He looked at me in disbelief. He walked over to me and pulled down my bandana which I hadn't relised had been back where it nomally was.Th ere it was. The skull scar, slightly mutalated by the 'X'. The lord called out to every one "Gather you things. Take only what you can carry. Leave as soon as you can and go in you normal groups and move to the edge of the territory, close to the market. Stay there until sundown. No theiving, keep hidden." With that he turned and left. I noticed that there was a chain around the dagger and so I aske Mika to put it on. She placed it around my neck then turned and left to get her things .I saw everyone go. All but my group and the tespu. Pike looked at me then the tespu. Then he did something that no one had dare ever do..he walked over to the tespu and bowed slightly but stood back up. "'M lord, what do we do with Den? He can't move."He looked the tespu straight in the eyes. "We'll just hav-" The rest was cut off with a loud banging coming from the back entrance. I heard yelling and the click of Shock-Bs.I opened my mouth "They're here...Go!" The all truned and left..all but Pike.He looked at me a bit concerned. "I can't leave you to them. If they found out that you told us they'll send you to the cells..."I looked at him enraged by his stupidity. In this gang it was think for yourself. "GO!" I yelled, so he truned and left.

Cells
The A-Bs walked in with Shock-Bs glowing orange-yellowish..One of them turned towards me."You! You told them! Now you have failed to cooperate with athorities.Strike three." It was off to the cells for me. The cells are like prison it's just that you are tortured, and don't get too much food. I was there for then next few years of my life. I was supposed to have a life sentence, but then he showed up. He was a red ixi in a white cloak. I never made friends here but I heard that he came once a year and picked out a few jailies that he thought shouldn't be here. He would take them and they would get a second chance as long as no athors saw the scar. They said that he could see into you past and decide if you should be here or not. He had been walking around the cells when he stopped near my holding cage. He looked deep into my eyes, and for some reason I didn't want to pull them away. We stood like this for a few minutes then he walked away. I had never seen him before, but every one else said his visits were anual. Later that day a gaurd came back with him and gave me my things. I was getting out. Out of those basty, tormenting, gruel for food, I was the chew toy, god forbidden place!As soon as we were out of sight of the cells and safely in the woods he told me that he would stick with me for a little bit, but that I would owe him his soul. Sorry but I don't owe anyone anything. I held up the dagger that had been given to me so long ago, and pushed it down into him. He didn't see it coming and died easily. So maybe I wasn't supposed to be out of that place, but one way or another I was out. The dagger had hit the tree behind the ixi, and instead of going throught it, it bent at almost a right angle. I was devistated. I had destroied the only thing that I had to remember my tespu by, besides the bandana. Bent..well..maybe I could work with that..I pulled the dagger out of the ixi's chest, which was hard because the bent part kept getting stuck on his ribs..XP..Now I was going to start over, but as what? I thought of what I heard some of the others in the cells got caught doing and one had stuck in my mind....Slaver..

A Bad Reunion..
From there I moved towards the setting sun, I always did. I met up with a bunch of traders that agreed to take me to my home town. It was on the way to the city they wanted to get to, but I had to earn my keep. Really those were the most boring few weeks of my life. Finally I got to the town. I hung around for a few days, just gathering info on where my old 'friends' might be. I found that they had overthrown the Vipers, and moved to wearing a red sash on their stomachs over thier clothes. So I found a group of them and demanded to see the tespu. They laughed a bit and I killed the higher ranking one, at least I thought he was that with the way he led them about. So they brought me to the old den. I walked tall as they brought me through extensions of the den. Finally they stopped at a grand room. A cloaked figure sat in a large chair atop a mound of more then likely stolen items. "Well, you made a nice improvement to this place."I chuckled. The ones who had led me in went down into the same bowing postition I had years ago. The cloaked figure spoke "Who let him in?" One of the bowing figures spoke up "He demanded to see you and killed Jeso." The cloaked figure's head turned toward me. The dagger swung silently around my neck, and I held my bandana crumpled up in my paw. I walked forward speaking up. "Now, you must have been here for quite a while, to have gathered all that stuff. So do you remember one day, a few years back? The tespu told Den and his group to do night watch, and that Den was being brought up to a selco. He awaited his return, to give him a dagger, but everyone soon found out that Den was gone. Two days later he showed up on the front door, and the tespu gave him the gift only to find him having a spassam attack and yelling out that he had told the cops of the den. You all left and so he was hauled off to the cells." I was right infront of the tespu. He pulled down his hood and looked coldly at me, but this tespu was a Krawk..Mika. "How would you know of that day. No one speaks of it, few remember it." Her lips curled up to reveal deadly fangs. I chuckeled and smiled. "Guess what." I held up the bandana, paused for a moment then tied it around my nose and mouth "Den, is back." Of all things I didn't expect what would happen next....She fainted..
While she was out I remebered what I had decided to do when I got out of prison, be a slaver...Hmm. Maybe I could start with the gang kids. No one liked 'em or would miss them. A shadow lupe walked out of the shadows(ironic eh?), with a fire Kougra, and a dark red and blue lupe with all white eyes. "Den?" The Kougra called "It's me..Riko." Now my heart skipped a beat. Inside I was having debating championships. I was mad that they never tried to help me get out, or at least try and help me into a good spot when the A-Bs came, so that I might not be seen by then ..but yet relieved that they were still around. I kept my grim face and clamly said "So that means this is Mika" I notioned towards the just regaining consiousness Mika on the floor. "And you are Pike" I looked at the red lupe, who nodded vigorously. "Who's your new buddy and who'd Mika kill to be Tespu?" The shadow lupe stepped forward. "I let her be it. I decided I would rather be out jackin' people then sitting on top of it. So Mika took over and I work with your group." His eyes moved toward the dagger and it's bent end. "The cells do things to stuff" I explained. We chatted for a little then I departed. I stopped by a local trader."Hey. I'm just startin up in that slave bussiness what do I need?" He handed me three spurs, 'For keepin 'em in line' He gave me a lot of chains and shackels , 'For makin sure they don't wander off, or run away. .' And a black bottle 'For stealin'em. ' One good whiff of that could knock someone out cold. I paid him hansomely-with money I had 'aquired' on the way over- and was on my way. Before as we sat and talked, my hate for my old 'friends' grew. I had twenty four sets of Shackels (A set was five; one for the neck, two for the arms and two for the legs.) and I was going to fill them all tonight..I took the black bottle and dipped some of the clear liquid on my bandana. Then one by one, the slots were filled with Bloodlust members until only four spots remianed. Those four I was saving. I worked my way through town and back to the den. I walked inside, oh so quitely and found every one alseep. I moved into the tespu's room and put an extra dose of the liquid on my bandana. As soon as the door closed behind me my old tespu jumped out of the shadows. I rammed the cloth into his face and he fell to the ground like a rock. I checked his pulse and to my astonishment he was dead. Guess I put too much of the liquid on. Oh well. I moved deeper into the room and found Mika there. I wiped litle bit of the stuff on the pilow by her face. She went out cold. I looked around and saw another room connected to hers. I moved in and found Pike and Riko. They grabbed the nearest daggers, or sharp thing, and ran towards me. I moved out of the way of their attacks and got the cloth close enough to their faces. They also fell like rocks, but they were still alive. I grabbed my three newest slaves and threw them over my shoulder.Man they were heavy! I moved out of the den and back to where the other sleeping slaves were. I grabbed a cart out of the nearest noble's house and loaded them up. I 'borrowed' a few horses too. And so we were off. My new slaves and I.

Again?
Basically I sold my friends, beat Pike to a pulp right before I sold him and was caught by the police again for selling slaves. It was the same as the last place, except there was no 'special person' that could get me out. I only got out by faking my death and swimming out through a sewer system. So then I started over again. I just hoped that I wouldn't get caught again..again.I found I group of lupes who said I could be family with them. Well after that I was headed towards one of my new 'family' members pack when I met this fae. Her name was Ember. I fell in love..Who would think a bump like me would fall in love. We talked and soon our conversation drifted to the past. The evening began to descend on us as she talked about being attacked as a young girl. I freaked when I realised she was the lupe I had jumped before getting caught for the second time and I had to drink the truth serum. Our passion grew strong as we lived in a world of our own within that crazy pack. The Alpha male was incredibly twisted and recruiting others to do his bidding and serve under him. They were makred with a ruby braclet with a silver band at the top and bottom. Time passed in a series of events all seeming to be a blur now. There was once when the Alpha fem had pups with a subordinate and vicious thoughts came into my mind. When threatened by her, a ghost who I could not hurt but she could hurt me, I grabbed a pup of hers and held it at knife point. Ember, shocked and angry, lundged at me and grabbed the pup. Beyond angry I stormed away leaving Azulia, the Alpha fem, to weep and cuddle her new born pups and Ember to ponder why I had done it. She still didn't understand. I came from a Kill-or-be-Killed life. I made descions to protect my life, even if it meant putting another's in danger. We stayed away from each other for a little before another twisted pack member came blustling in grinning. He had acuired himself a slave, actually his slave was another pack member. Old memories flashed into my head as I watched him, scrutinizing every mistake he made in shackling and treating his slave. This sudden change of behavior seemed to scare Emeber so I had no choice but to apologize. After a long while of keeping to myself so not to provoke my old habits, Ember annouced that she was going to have pups. Pups! I freaked out, running around thinking those odd 'Will they like me?' 'What do we name them?' thoughts. Ember dissappeared for a while, and found it harder to resist the urge to return to old habits. Elsewhere in the pack people were fighting over the alpha saying he needed to be taken out of his powerful position.

Pups change lives, so does Dennis
When Ember returned a grin was spread from ear to ear, and sitting on top of her back were three pups yipping and nipping at one another. Twin girls and one slightly older boy. Kelia, Telia, and Blade were the names we agreed upon. So I rejoiced and spent a long time with them watching them grow and learn. Yet my yearning to fight and kill was getting desparately bigger. Ember and I began to fight more, she feared my old habits, and me ,well I was just mad. I became drowned in a pool of misery and soon needed some light to follow. The only one that appeared to me at that time was Paycheck, the Alpha male. Though twisted, he was someone I could serve with life and limb to satisfy my hunger for blood and need of direction. Like I had under my tespu. I needed someone to follow, to serve. So I swore myslef to him and began to wear his calling card bracelet. Ember on the other hand was shattered and angry. Her anger rubbed off on the pups, which were actually adolesants now. Blade tried to convince me to come back to them, so I killed him. The blood of two murders rested on my paws, and like the first, my annoying son came back to life as a ghost. I also discovered that the Bloodlusts had reformed with all the ones I had sold as slaves. Angry and yet thankful they flocked to me. Their numbers grew until it was a swarming mass of all pets under my lead. Apparently those who I had not taken were all killed 'accidentally' by the police. For that the surviors were grateful. Now I was leader and no one would take my gang from me. Anger washed through my body almost constantly as I served under Paycheck, determined to side everyone with him or help the other followers and destroy those who dare oppose us. I found a neutral lupe named Hunter, oddly covered in alien aromor and had the ability (More like the technology) to cloak himself and remain unseen even if he stood right in front of you. He growled at Paycheck and several others before saying. "Paycheck if anything comes of my son I'll kill you personally." At first no one knew who he spoke of. Then I realized he meant me. Son? I was his son? I had been raised by the gang as an orphan. My tespu had always said that I was left on their doorstep in the middle of the night. I was so confussed and shocked I just sort of drifted around for the next long while, until I dissappeared into a black place of silence where I could think things over. I agreed that serving Paycheck and keeping the gang intact was what I had to do. As days passed Ember's hate for me grew and her pain and sorrow throbbed. I became tired of her and killed her too. The sensation I received when doing it was enthralling. So exilerating, that I wondered why I had stopped killing just for her. Saddly her father, the Lord of Hell, brought her back to life and left me in an odd prediciment. I also stared hearing voices around now. They called themselves the Essence of the Earth.

Bigger Changes
My lord and master, Paycheck was dominating the pack. His old and kind-hearted Alphess had been beaten out of position and replaced with another vixen. It didn't not matter to me for I did not serve her. I only followed my dear lord Paycheck. Hunter still watched me. The voices called him a murderous traitor. Unworthy of life. Obviously these voices had been betrayed by my father in some manner. It did not matter. The voices sharpened my mind, and kindled me in their blloody arms. It was a parent I could count on. Hunter spoke with Ember and Blade and even the twins as I sat staring at the ruby and silver braclet around my wrist. I wondered why I had doubted the lord and thought these braceltes evil once. They were gorgeous. The voices they told me I had an endless expance of power under my control. I listened to these words and knew them right. I could feel it. The very earth upon which all walked was at my beck an call. 'Could I be more powerful than master Paycheck? Could I take him out?' These thoughts occured to me, but I quickly disregared them. No one would be better than my lord. Not one person dead or alive.
But I could feel the changes. The earth listened to me and I listened to the voices and Paycheck. The voices demanded blood, if not for their own ressurection then for my sheer enjoyment. And with a group of rebellious lupes in the pack that bloodlust was easily satisfied many times over. Why couldn't this group see? Lord Paycheck ruled all, and if he beat you down you deserved it. They were all unworthy. All scum that should perish alongside Ember. Weak little Ember had become pitiful and cried when she saw me.All the while I listened to my master and the voices until I was able to weild my power and could lift stone and make the earth tremble with a growl or flick of my tail.

Something unexpected...twice
Hunter had been watching me grow and learn. The voices told me so. I knew he was jelaous, jelous of the power he had lost and I had gained. It was all mine. Soon the time came to prove my power.
Ember, Hunter, and Blade came searching for me. I'm certain those miserable twins were there too. They despised me, and followed their dispicable mother everywhere. None the less I found this was the big day. The Earth Essence was going to fight the other masters of the Essences, it would rule over them and I would rule under it. The world would be at my beck and call. It was all mine for the taking. And yet they were trying to stop me! Mist swirled in the sky as the Essences fought. I fought with them, lending them my stregnth. They woudl prevail. Then Emeber got in the way, she started to fight me! Fight me durring my moment of golry! And yet as we fought I felt osmething happening. The Essence was loosing! It was loosing and leaving me! It made no sense. WIthin a matter of minutes the Essence fell and so did I under the combined might of my father and Ember. I blacked out, and when I at last awoke again I was in water. Warm water. Springs to be exact. Emebr had brought me there. With the Essence gone (it had actually moved onto my twin daughters) I felt weak and that odd sense of love for Ember again.
