Ricky scurried along the street, glancing over his shoulder every now and then. The building his family lived in was just visible a couple of blocks down and he picked up his pace. He wanted to be inside and locked securely in the apartment before he even considered thinking about everything that just went to pieces.

Welkram stepped out from the alley that Ricky had just passed. With his black tail flickering side to side like an ebony snake, he let out a dark chuckle. "Don't turn around, kit," He said in the same deep, sophisticated voice he had used the other night.

Ricky froze, willing himself to neither turn around nor run, "Wh-what do you want?"

"Just what you happened to tell the boys in blue," Welkram purred out, watching the kit with cautious eyes for any sign of him turning around or running off.

"Nothin'. I didn't tell 'em n-nothin'."

Welkram tilted his head just so slightly to the side, even though the boy wouldn't be able to see. "Are you sure?" He pressed in a sickeningly sweet voice. "Because if you let something slip... My trigger finger might just... slip."

The kit swallowed hard at that, his ears lacing, "T-told 'em it was real dark and I couldn' see anythin' that'd help 'em."

"Good," The ebony tom cooed with a smile spreading over his lips. "Keep it that way and we won't have any acidents now, will we?" Though he had gotten the information he was looking for, Welkram ran a claw down his jawline in thought. "Now, what is your name, kit?"

"What, what's that matter?"

Welkram let out another soft rumbling chuckle. "Because I say it matters," He answered simply, his tail curled around him as he paused for a moment. "I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours." Even if he gave the kit his name, if he squealed no one would be able to find him. Welkram never told anyone his name and there are absolutely no records of him because he technically was never born.

Ricky shook his head, "No. Gettin' your name's just stupid." He hesitated, considering which part of his name to give, "N-name's Orron." Now even if he did manage to forget the voice, he'd know who it was if his name was used.

"That is a peculiar name, kit," Welkram mused aloud. "Well, Orron," The name was just to know a name, the ebony cat liked calling the tom 'kit' better. "Remember to keep your eyes open and your mouth shut because you never know what can be lurking around the corner." Like a wraith he disappeared back into the alley he had come from, stepping into a heavy shadow and slinking away.
((Exit Welkram))

Ricky swallowed hard and then bolted for his family's apartment, not stopping until he was inside with the doors and windows locked.
