"Not if you value your life. I can't kill you, but Lord Amett ordered us to be partners. We have to work together."

She made an annoyed meow that sounded like a 'mrrf!' and kept walking, calling back over her shoulder, "I'd be your slave before I willingly worked with you as an equal, as a 'partner'!" She stopped for a second, just to add, "And we both know that'll never happen, fishy-girl."

"Now just wait an accursed second? You want to be that way? Hmph, I don't need you." Her eyes blazed purple. Perfect timing... Tansa wasn't looking. She put it into full force, attacking the mind... The one organ that remained the same enough through shifts to damage. She aimed to kill.

What the heck...? Tansa suddenly felt strange, almost as if she were in a dream, and a slight headache followed. Turning around, dazed, she saw Natsumi and her eye colour told her she was using the ability again. She started to change but felt no improvement. It wasn't working.

Natsumi's lips curled lightly into a smirk as she strode forward. She stopped when she was a few feet from Tansa. "You're not the only clever one, cat."
Now's my chance to be rid of her. I could easily kill her right now... but no. Lord Amett would surely kill ME for disobeying his order to be her partner. Curses. ...I'll erase her memory until I get obedience. That's it. If she doesn't know what's going on, she'll listen.

Tansa roared, trying to concentrate on the form she needed to take. It was her last chance at escaping Natsumi's attack on her mind. Wings sprouted from her back, and as she grew in size her fur was replaced with scales and feathers as she took the form she'd shown Amett not too long ago. The transformation took longer than usual, but she knew it was the only hope now. The blackroc was a creature of pure dark energy, created by Amett. The only real one in existence had no mind at all, and Tansa could only hope her copy was close enough that it would break the girl's spell on her.

She blinked, feeling no mind there. Dangit! She cheated!

Tansa changed back to being a cat and sat on the floor, her head down. She panted, tired out from all the shifting and especially the last form, which took a lot of her energy. "See?" she said in between breaths. "You can't win with your ability."

She snarled and then turned her back, letting her hand wander away from the hilt of her sword. Natsumi had a plan... but two attempts at treachery wouldn't help. Tansa already hated and distrusted her. Another try at killing the shifter would bring worse.

Tansa hissed under her breath, watching Natsumi for a moment before she got back on her paws and started down yet another long, dark hall.

Sumi grumbled several curse words again, feeling the anger rising and falling like ebony tided waves within her own emotional ocean. Everything boiled down to one eventually... deep searing hatred. She seethed within the contents of her own conscious thought. She hated worse than any other time before. It wasn't death she wished to give Tansa anymore. No, that was the easy way out. Now it was simple enslavement, forced obedience. No more simple tasks... no more trying. It was going to be done.

Tansa continued on, not looking back to see if Natsumi was even following. She didn't care. I can accomplish this task on my own, she thought. I don't need some fish-person with a failure of an ability to help me. Soon she caught a familiar scent on the air and stopped to focus on it for a second. It was her own, and Natsumi's. Peering into a nearby door, her suspicion was proven, as she saw the first room full of weaponry. She'd simply gone in circles.

Hmph... she probably thinks I'm a failure. I'll teach her. I'll make her BEG to serve me in the end of this. She'll bend to my will or I'll break her in half. Natsumi swore to herself inwardly. She didn't seem to notice the smell as Tansa did, but she did notice knocked over weapons and other changes of scene. "Cat, you lead like a blind vampire bat. You went in circles."

Tansa flicked her tail in annoyance but ignored the comment. "Are you stalking me?" she muttered, not seeming to have noticed at all that Natsumi had decided to follow. She stepped back out into the hallway and sniffed the air, finding her scent to see which directions she'd already gone. A path to the left showed no recent scents so she turned down that hall.

"S'not friggin' stalking you." she muttered under her breath. She was mostly sure Tansa's sharp hearing caught it. Whether or not the shifter cared was another matter entirely. "Hmph..." she just kind of snorted. ...Why must she be so unbearable?
