The HABIT's House

"Well Habit is working on taking slender down so if he doesn't kill you you're in luck."

"I already know im becoming... Whatever the hell Firebrand is. I mean, hes me, a future version of me but... I like being what i am now so... Im going to fight and stay me for as long as i can. And in the end, when there is no more possible way that i can fight more, then i will accept and become him. But as long as i can still breathe i will fight to stay what i am currently" he said. "Im only trying to stay safe. And, i dont really think sticking with HABIT is a safe idea after what ive seen" he said with a shudder.

"Follow his rules and it's not half bad." she shrugged. "What is Firebrand, exactly?" she asked, looking around the room.

"From what ive seen, hes an unbound member of The Collective. HABIT set him free from his bound to this 'Administrator' or whatever he wants to fucking call himself. That thing that follows me wherever i fucking go" he said, remembering all the times he ran from that freaky humanoid-thing.

"Well I think Habit will be in a good mood when he gets back so pray that he won't kill you, which I sorta doubt he will but best to be safe right?" she said, yawning.

"Thanks thats very reassuring" he said sarcastically and scoffed.

"I'm going to go take a nap. Try not to die while I'm asleep." She smiled and headed upstairs towards her room.

"Cant make a promise i cant keep" he called after her and sighed.

Vaermina curled up on Vinnie's old bed and drifted into a deep sleep.

Noah looked around the two story house carefully. Suddenly downstairs he heard a door open and close. There was a sound of rustling and struggling, followed by the cry of a small kit. Noah turned and peeked down the stairs and saw nothing. "What?" he whispered. "Noah!" He heard a voice behind him. He turned around to see HABIT standing there. Noah took a step back in uncertainty. "How you been doing dude?" He chuckled and walked over, putting an arm around his neck "Who was that?" He asked, reffering to the kit's cry. "No one you need to worry about" he grinned and led him down the stairs. "I'm glad you didn't break anything or I'd have to break you!" He chuckled and led him to the kitchen. "So, how've you been?" He asked "Uh... Not good at all" he replied. "Well that'll do it to ya then" HABIT said in return.

Hearing a door, Vaermina awoke, only to fall back to sleep because she simply didn't care.

"Now then, have you found the journal?" HABIT asked. "Uh.. No I haven't... I have Mr.Scar's journal but I.. Uh... Don't have The Nazi's journal yet.." He said. "Noah man I'm trying to help ya. And that journal is something you need" HABIT said. Noah turned his head after hearing a quiet whimper of pain. It sounded like a kit. "Who do you have locked up here?" Noah asked HABIT. "Dont worry about it, shes the least of your problems Noah" he countered. "I...Is anyone there...?" a soft mew said from on the table. Noah jumped on a chair and looked up to see a small kit. Each of her paws had ropes around them that tied her against the table tightly. She squirmed but couldnt release herself.

(GASP IS IT DREAD?)

(yeahs XDD)

(NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU BAX TOBY SORROW SAVE HERRRRRRRRRRRR)

Dread pulled against her restraints, turning her dual-colored eyes on the brown tom. "Help me please!" she whimpered. Her eyes were wide in fear and her breath hitched. Suddenly Noah was pulled back down to the ground and was now face to face with HABIT. "Dont worry about her, shes none of your concern" he said calmly and led him into the living room. "What the hell is wrong with you? Kidnapping random kits?" Noah breathed "Shes not random, and shes also not your problem" HABIT countered.

Baxter walked closer to Habit's house,clutching the hilt of his favorite knife in his jaws "We get in though the windows,sense HABIT keeps his door locked up tight

"We can try" Toby nodded. Sorrow leapt up in the windowsill and looked in. There wasnt anyone where she was looking through. "I dont see anyone in this room, lets try and sneak in here" she said.

Dread pulled against the restraints until her wrists were bloody. HABIT had taken off the gloves and bandages, so all the scars along her arms showed. She grunted and groans as she pulled. She was terrified. Terrified on the unknown. What would he do to her? "Toby!!" she called out in her fear.

"yeah" he kicked at the window with his hind legs,only to not even crack the window "well...there went that idea"

Toby perked his ears, hearing a faint cry. "Baxter!" Dread called before HABIT leapt in the kitchen and put a large white paw over her mouth. He pulled out a roll of purple ducktape and wrapped it around her mouth so she couldnt scream or call anymore. He went back in the livingroom. "It seems like something has interrupted out chat, i shall take you back to your hideout place and ill be back" he grinned and put a paw against Noah's forehead. Noah collapsed instantly. HABIT and Noah both suddenly vanished, and two minutes later HABIT reappeared. He went in the kitchen and jumped on the table where she was restrained. "Lets get the show on the road, shall we?" he grinned. She began squirming once more in her fear as he pulled out a long machete from a sheath around his waist. He put pots beneath where her paws were. "Now, first thing" he said and went to put the blade against her already sort of bloody wrists. She let out a muffled scream as the blade cut into her flesh, making blood leak from the wound. Blood trickled from her wrists and dripped off the table into the pots below. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she cried. He moved to her next arm and began cutting into her other wrist. She let out another muffled scream of pain as he cut deeply into her flesh.

he heard his name and started to franticly bang at the window "Dread!" he hoped the window would break soon

HABIT pulled the tape from her mouth so they could hear her cries. A devilish grin crossed his face, as soon as the tape was off she cried out "Help me!" she begged. He continued to cut deeper into each of her wrists, making more and more blood trickle into the pots below. She screamed and cried in her agony, tears continuing to stream down her face. "Baxter! Toby! Sorrow!! Help me!!" she yelled out while she struggled. "You know the more you struggle the faster you'll bleed out" his dark mew said.

"THAT EVIL SON OF A BITCH...he knows were here" he kept banging on the window trying to break it

Toby ran and banged his shoulder against the window with all his force. Sorrow sliced her claws against the glass.

Dread sobbed and cried out loud in pain "He..lp me..!" she whimpered. Her cries were getting weaker and weaker by the moment. HABIT chuckled "You all right down there? You look a little weak" he grinned. "Stop it.. Please.." she begged. "Its almost over kid" he said, referring to the fact that if this kept up she was going to die soon.

"Dread!" He called out banging on the window with all his force,hoping and hoping the window will break
