Fantasy DarkDecember & Imaginator

[Imaginator]

Name: Kitty
Age: 18
Species: Neko
​

That night, it was pouring. And little miss Kitty had never been so terrified of herself. Or of anyone else for that matter. All the creature's senses were on alert. Green, cat-shaped-eyes huge. But then, what could one expect, after Kitty had just escaped from a Top Secret Science Lab. A trail of white-coated-bodies littered the place, blood everywhere. Claw and teeth marks littering the worker's bodies.

The city was huge. Loud sounds everywhere. Cars honking, various smells of resturants filling Kitty's nose. The only thing Kitty could do was keep to the shadows, using the stolen, bloodied lab coat as a cloak. Kitty was terrified to think of what would be done to her if someone saw what she was. A half-human, half-cat-like-creature. That could kill when injected with an experimental serum. Kitty's ears twitched as the frightened Neko sniffled, tears staining the girl's pale face. The long, fluffy tail tucked firmly between Kitty's legs. A show of fear and or anxiety.

Kitty's heart was hammering. All she wanted to do was get away. As far as possible. Biting at her lower lip, Kitty's stomach grumbled. Just about the time Kitty passed a sushi stand.

Waiting for the worker to turn thei back, Kitty grabbed the closest fish. Turning tail and ducking into an alley. And squatting down behind a trash bin, the Neko bit her sharp teeth into the fish. Ears twitching toward every sound as Kitty ate her meal in the alley way.

 

[DespairBear]

Name: Zane
Age:21
Species: Alpha Wolf
​

Zane smirked as he listened to his beta rambling on about their land and how he was sure it was going to come to a war between them and the pack that lived on the other side of the mountains. He didn't believe the other pack had the guts to try and take his land and he wasn't going to worry about that until it happened. He had more then enough men to protect his territory and they were all itching for a fight. His pack territory extended from the base of the mountains in the north all the way to the river valleys in the south. It was a large space of land that included several wooded areas and a good sized town sitting smack in the middle. He usually had his main pack close to the town, living in some of the houses around the outskirts while his own home resided a little ways into the woods. He allowed his pack members to live where they wanted to so long as they followed his rules to a T while the remaining of his pack in the south, east and west were all under the command of his most trusted people.

"Sir, you should really think about adding more patrolling parties to the mountains... What if they try to attack us when our backs are turned? You know they have done it befor-"
"Yes they have done it before and you know what else they have done before? They left our land with their tails tucked between their legs because we defended what was ours the same way we have been doing it for years. If you feel that there should be more patrols why don't you go and join one and see for yourself what it's like." Zane growled.
He wasn't a very patient man and had a quick temper, one of the reasons why he was the Alpha now. Even though he was quick to annoy and anger, he was a smart man with a talent for war.

He ran one hand through his thick mane of hair, the wind catching it as the sunlight turned it from midnight black to a velvet looking blue. It was a nice day out, he had to admit with the breeze bringing in fresh scents of the woods, an approaching rain, blood, and woodland creatures.

He paused for a moment as he thought about what he smelled. He knew the scent of a fresh kill any day but this... this was the scent of human blood and something else underlying in it...
"Fan out. We have a guest somewhere and I want to know where and who."
With those words, the men surrounding him took off into the crowd, melting like shadows as they blended in. Zane watched them go before he adjusted his own course. He hadn't smelled the scent in his nose before but he knew two things about it. 1. It wasn't human and 2. it wasn't a wolf.

 

[Imaginator]

Finishing the stolen meal of sushi, Kitty stood, keeping the bloodied lab coat for cover. The skittish creature's heart hammered like a mad drum. Swallowing hard, Kitty tossed away the container.

Licking her lips, the Neko scurried back into the shadows. All of the sounds and scents were disorienting. But still, all of this was better then the science lab.

And as Kitty tried to find a place to hide and sleep, it was then that she caught a strange scent. The scent was strange for sure. Almost...Almost like a wet dog smell...The Neko blinked. She hadn't had had to many good experiances with canines.

Kitty had to find some place to hide before they all started barking. Letting out a frightened whimper, she scurried around out of the alley. Only to bump into someone.

"S-Sorry!"

Stuttered the Neko, green, cat-shaped-eyes huge as could be. Wearily, Kitty looked up at the tall, muscled man. But as Kitty stared up, it was then that she realized this was were the strange scent had been coming from. Like a wet dog....

Wyes widening, Kitty turned tail into a run.

 

[DespairBear]

Fyron smiled down at the girl before she bolted. He loved a good chase and this was going to be a good one. He had been sent out at Zane's order to find the creature in question. He would surely get some kind of reward for finding her,and especially since she was such a cute little thing.

He took off after her in a flash, his red hair flying back in the wind as he ran, feet barely touching the pavement as he went. It didn't take to long to catch her as she obviously was in a panic and racing blindly down the streets. Pushing off hard with one leg, he launched himself at her, wrapping his thick, masculine arms around her waist. They both crashed to the ground in a heap.
"Hey hey, calm down now Kitten. We just wanna talk to you." he smiled at her, a sideways grin that was sure to have melted many hearts. Before saying another word he let out a high pitched whistle, only audible to their ears.

Moments later several tall British looking men rounder the corner as Fyron stayed seated with his prize tucked safely in his arms, seated in his lap.
"You found her already? I didn't know that sniffer worked so well." one said as he bent down to look at her. "Zane will be happy with this."
"Well she kinda just ran into me but I thought you guys might wanna get a look before he does. You know how he gets."
With this words, Fyron stood up, pulling her with him as he wrapped his hands around both her wrists, squeezing tight enough to let her know he could hurt her.
"You are going to come quietly aren't you? Because I won't do anything rash but my friends here... well they are a bit savage even for wolves." he gave her that crooked smile again as the other men looked her over intently. With out another word they started out if the alleys and toward the smell of power, the alpha wolf.

 

[Imaginator]

As Kitty was suddenly tackled, the Neko let out a yelp. Falling into a tangle of limbs.

"No! Please let me go!"

She begged, managing to bite into the man's hand. The bloddied lab coat falling off in the scuffle. It was no use though. Kitty stood, glarring up at the men.

And as the grip tightened to the point of where it would bruise, Kitty winced. Tail tucked between her legs, the Neko really didn't have much choice.

 

[DespairBear]

Fyron lead the group through several back alleyways, all tucked close around the smaller girl with them. After what seemed like hours had passed, they made it to a large building with a wolf emblazoned above the name.

Dark Sensations was the wolf packs main place of business along with just being the main hang out. It had been a strip club in previous years where many felonies and abuse had taken place by the humans. It had also been used for one of the biggest drug cartels in the town but the wolves had cleaned it up and cleared it out when they moved in. Now it was a darkly lit bar with a few exotic dancers, the atmosphere smooth and dreamy. It was the largest known club in the surrounding area, known to have put several smaller clubs out of business. They even did have stripe shows a few nights a week for both males and females, humans and wolves alike. It was a safe haven of sorts that offered food, entertainment and several other services.

Fyron lead her in first and nodded to the two bouncers that stood on either side of the door wearing black tee shirts that defined how big they really were.
"Zane in yet?" he asked as he scanned the crowded club, a heavy beat thrumming through the walls as the floor changed colors with the reverberating beat.
"No, he should be soon though, The usual table is open. I'll let him know you are there." One of the bouncers nodded.

Zane nodded as he escorted the girl to the secluded table up the ebony stair case. Sliding into the velvety booth, he pulled her with him before another guy squeezed in, blocking her escape route as a waiter brought them all small glasses. They each smelled of alcohol.

A few songs had passed before the doors opened and the air seemed to change. Zane strode into the room, pulling all attention even if it wasn't intentional for everyone. Without pausing, he walked straight up the stairs and looked over at the men surrounding Kitty.

"Well You smell nice don't you little kitten. What are you doing around here?" His voice was smooth and deep, alluring in its own. He pulled a chair up from an opposing table and sat down in front of them, his eyes a deep swirling violet.

 

[Imaginator]

As the Alpha strode into their dwelling, Kitty was once more sitting on the man's lap. The one in which had tackled her. Making sure that she couldn't escape.

"I hadn't meant anything. I had just wanted to...escape from the lab..."

Kitty squirmed within the man's lap and strong grip. Ears drooped. The noise from the club was methodic. Especially with the constant base booming in the music that was playing.

"Let go of me."

The last thing she wanted right then was to go back to the lab. Unable to wrighle free, Kitty glarred her green eyes at the men.

 

[DespairBear]

"I see. You are the cause of all that mess outside the lab huh? That's a lot of gore for such a little thing. Don't worry, I won't be sending you back to the lab. What's your name?"

He grabbed one of the drinks on the table and turned it back in one swig. He looked over his men before settling his eyes back on her. Giving a half smile he slide one of the glasses across the table to her.
"Fyron, were you not going to give this poor girl a drink? Or did you plan to harass her the rest of the night?"
Fyron gave a large smile at his boss as Kitty wiggled in his grasp. "She is so nice though." he gave a soft laugh before shoving one of the guys out of the way and setting her down. "Now don't get any ideas little lady. There is no way out of here without being carried out." he gave her a chance to look around the room for herself.

There were no windows and the only door that looked to lead outside was guarded by the two bouncers. A kitchen door swung open and closed lazily behind the bar but nothing could be seen for sure with the flashing strobe lights in the room.

 

[Imaginator]

When asked for her name, the Neko went silent. Starring down at her hands. Biting nervously at her lower lip.

"I...I don't really have a name...They just...Always called me Kitty..."

She grimaced, unable to look up at the men. The man speaking seemed to be the leader of the group. And the smell of wet dog was stronger then ever in Kitty's nose. Making the Neko wrinkle her nose. Well, at least these men didn't plan on taking her back to the lab. And a small breath of relief escaped from Kitty. The Neko combing a hand through her long, shaggy hair.

But finally, Kitty was allowed to sit upon the leather booth. And not upon the man's lap. And as the man ordered to fetch Kitty a drink, the Neko glared those green-cat-eyes at the man's back.

And as they waited for their comrade to return with the drink for Kitty, she slowly curled her tail around herself, ears still drooped. Kitty wondering what these men were going to do to her. If they didn't plan on taking her back to the lab, then...what...?

 

[DespairBear]

After a few more drinks, Zane stretched and rose from his seat. "Let us go. I have other things to attend to at home then some drunk humans here."
With those words he left the table, an unspoken the rest of the men rose, Fyron pulling Kitty along with him.

The group had walked through town and out into the wooded area beyond before coming across a large mansion like building. It was made with old cement bricks, ivy growing up the sides almost as a testament of how old the house was. It had to house a least three dozen men if not more and had several smaller buildings scattered towards the back of the home. Wolves could be seen dashing through the thinner part of the woods along with a few shirtless men with them.

The men ignored them as they entered the house, Kitty in tow. The inside of the house was just as exquisite as the outside. The floors were wooden floors and darkly painted walls. It was a dark kind of beauty that seemed to match the group of men well. A few women opened doors and peered out, some half dressed and sleepy eyed, other wide eyed and roaring to go. They sniffed the air and a few let out low growls, causing the men to growl back in defense.

Ignoring the women, Zane let out a whistle causing two younger looking girls to appear almost out of thin air. One of the girls, was blonde with bright blue eyes. She wore a tight crop top and low rising bell bottom jeans. The other was a dark skinned girl with fluffy curls and caramel eyes. She was no more clothed then her counter part as she wore a skin tight skirt and low cut tank top.
"Show our new friend here to a room in the west wing, and clean her up." Zane waved them off with out another word, leaving the girls alone.

"Where did they pick you up? A garbage dump?" The blonde girl sneered, her nose curling up at the smell.
"Tanya! Be nice. She can't help it if she smells a little. She isn't a wolf, of course she is going to be different! Come on Sweetcheeks, Zane wants you cleaned up, lets get you cleaned up. I'm Tallie by the way, and that is Tanya. She has an attitude most days." Tallie smiled at the girl, almost as if in apology for her friend. Taking her hand, They led her up the stairs and down several different hallways, twisting and turning before coming to a large door. Opening it revealed a large room without windows. A plush looking bed laid against one wall with a separate door leading to a lard marbled bathroom.

 

[Imaginator]

Once more, the skittish and frightened Neko was lead by the hands. Which made Kitty bare her sharp teeth in annoyance. It made her feel like a child. She may only be the size of an eight-year-old, but Kitty really didn't wish to be treated like one. A low, irritated growl escaped from Kitty as the small group stopped into what was clearly a private dressing room.

The carpet was plush and comfortable, the walls neatly painted. It was dark reds and blacks, with hints of gold and purple. But yet, despite the darkness, it was done so in a homely way...

And connected to the dressing room, was a marbled bathroom, decorated and painted in the same way as the dressing room. Nervously, Kitty stood in the bathroom, ears drooped as the Neko watched the two women fuzz about. Getting the bath ready. The tip of Kitty's tail flicked in agitation and nervousness. Kitty's heart hammering.

 

[DespairBear]

"Come now child, you must be cleaned and dressed. I'm sure you would love a nice bath to get all of that dried blood off of you." Tallie smiled at her sweetly as Tanya finished running the water in the large, marbled tub. Steam rose from the water as a soft and sweet lavender scent filled the air. Tallie motioned for her to come.
"We aren't going to bit sweetie."
Tanya didn't say a word as she went to find something that would fit Kitty's small frame.

The woman of the house tended to keep a lot of spare clothes laying around in each closet of the house, that wasn't a man's room, for when liters where born or when they just saw something they liked at a store that they outgrew. Clothing was always a necessity when they were always shifting and ripping clothes. Most of the time they shifted, they stripped away as to keep from shredding their wardrobes but sometimes things happened that they couldn't wait for to pass do extra things were always kept.

"So what do you plan on doing with her now? It's not like you to play nice, especially of someone that isn't our kind. She was a pretty little morsel though wasn't she?" one of the men seated around a large mahogany table purred as he looked at the others around him almost as if for agreement. It wasn't necessary though as several men had already grunted in agreement with his words before he had finished speaking them.
"I haven't decided yet what I wish from her but until I do let's see how well she plays with others. She seems small enough that the younger wolves could test their abilities on her. They need to learn anyways."
Zane spoke without much emotion in his voice as he thought about the girl a few halls down. She had been pretty cute but could she hold her own? He didn't know but part of him wanted to find out.

 

[Imaginator]

Despite the fact that the woman said they "didn't bite", Kitty wasn't so sure on believing that. Maybe not psychically. But then again, these were Werewolves in which Kitty found herself in the midst of. But eventually, the skittish and nervous Neko stripped down before wearily stepping into the tub. Tail tucked and ears drooped.

The questioned still buzzed in her mind like an annoying fly as to what they were going to do to her. For now though, Kitty simply sunk into the warmed bath, slowly easing herself down into the hot water. Tail flicking at the temperature. Ears swiveling at the slightest noise in the unfamiliar building.

The scent of wet dog was everywhere. The prominent sent. Then it was the scent of Humans and then food. It was a heavy mixture of pleasant and unpleasant. Blending into one.

And as the water soaked into Kitty's skin and fur, the Neko flicked her tail, not sure she was liking the bath.

 

[DespairBear]

Tanya returned shortly after with a handful of different clothing options, slumping them on the bed. They were a mixture of short skirts and bell bottom jeans, tank tops and blouses, some laced and dark, others white and pure. It was obvious all the wolves had different senses of fashion and Tanya had taken that into consideration. She was surely mean and snappy on the outside but she showed kindness in some of her actions.

"Once you are done with your bath, Zane would like you to join him for dinner. Most likely to talk about where you will fit in here and what task you will be provided with. I will give you this warning and this only warning. Don't mess it up. You could have a wonderful life here with free roam of the town and protection from people who would want you harmed but if you mess up, you could end up-"
"Tanya! Stop all that! Can't you see she is scared enough without all your 'warnings'!. Don't listen to her child, Zane hasn't done anything ungentle-man like to you yet and he won't."
Tanya let out an irritated growl at her scolding. Her eyes narrowing to green slits. Tallie refused to back down at the grumbling and stood in between her and Kitty.
"You are going to be the death of someone one of these days with your naive ways and for your sake, I hope you listen to me." She spoke the last words over Tallie's shoulder before turning and storming out of the room, the door slamming shut behind her with such force, one of the paintings on the wall dropped to the floor with a bang.
"Come now, lets get you dressed and ready for dinner. You must be starving my dear!" As if nothing happened, Tallie was back to her cheerful self as she shifted through the clothing on the bed.

~~

Zane sat at the head of a large, dark table. It was beautiful and rustic looking, patterns traced all throughout it as time had worn away at i. Several dishes sat on the table, covered but drifting a sweet and savory smell out from under them as pieces of steam escaped confinement. Zane wasn't as formally dressed anymore, his long, thick hair flowed around his shoulders, his shirt splitting down the front, showing off his defined and muscled chest. Around his neck he wore a simple black leather cord with a jewel red as blood hanging from it. He looked like a rebel royalty, something a king would hate to see his son in but women would love to see their husbands in.

 

[Imaginator]

It was clear that she wasn't exactly welcomed in this area. At least not by these particular people. But soon enough, the bath was over, and once dried, Kitty felt much better at not being in the water. One too many times the lab coats had thrown Kitty into water to see what would happen. To see if cat's really hated water or not. At the memories, Kitty shuddered as she was guided back into the private dressing room, a small selection of clothing had been laid out upon the bed neatly.

Once Kitty was dressed, the Neko was guided to the dining hall. Where only one man sat at the head of the table laden with various dishes of food. The smell of it made Kitty's stomach grumble as she was guided to a chair and sat down upon it.

Nervous, the Neko stirred within the chair, heart hammering and ears drooped. And as tempting as the food was, Kitty didn't want to overstep her boundaries, and instead awaited permission to dig in. Stomach grumbling. Just what was this meeting going to be about? No one had told Kitty just what was going to happen to her.

 

[DespairBear]

Watching her closely, Zane heard her stomach growl as her eyes scanned the dishes covered in front of her.
"Help yourself Kitty. You are our guest here after all."
With those words, the lids were raised from the plates, revealing different foods from meat and potatoes to fruits and salads. There were even a few dessert plates with chocolate cakes and pies. It was a feast for kings and she was welcome to it all.
"So Kitty, tell me a little about yourself while we eat?" Zane's voice was smooth and calm as he made his own plate, taking a bite of steak and slidding it into his mouth, a hint of sharp canines peaking out as he did so.

 

[Imaginator]

Just as Kitty began to eat, the Neko paused. Looking very uncomfortable. Her long tail twitched, and the Neko pushed around the food with a fork. Swallowing nervously, ears drooped.

"I'd...I'd rather not..."

She muttered, biting at her lower lip, looking up at the man through her long lashes before quickly looking away. After all, what was there to tell? How Kitty was created from Human DNA and a feline's DNA? And how the lab coats treated and tested upon her horribly...? Kitty's ears twitched as she nibbled on a bite of food, not looking at the man sitting at the head of the table.

 

[DespairBear]

(If at all possible, could you use a different color for her to talk in? That one is really hard to see unless I highlight it)

"Oh come on now, you can't tell me what you like or dislike? If you know how to cook or if you like kids?" Zane frowned at her. Sure she was abused or something by the scientists but she had to know something. What good would a frightened cat be to him if she didn't do anything but cower in a corner all the time?

He did have to admit to himself, she was a pretty cute cat and her fear did bring the wolf in him clawing to the surface even if it was just because he enjoyed the feeling of dominating weaker and fearful creatures. He had a pack full of wolves that knew their places in life and here was a stranger who didn't even want to find her place. She didn't seem interested in anything other then food at the moment. His mind was turning with thoughts of what to do with her.

 

[Imaginator]

(ooc: Of course!)
​

The Neko stirred uncomfortably, ears drooped further and tail tucked against herself. Kitty swallowing a bite of food before biting her lip. Did she really have to discuss herself? She couldn't look at the man sitting at the head of the table. Fork pushing around the food.

"I guess..."

Kitty swallowed hard, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

"All I can tell you is that I hate water and...I'm not a fan of dogs..."

The Neko grimaced, finally casting a glance up at the man. It wasn't meant to be an insult or offensive. It just was how Kitty was programmed.

​

 

[DespairBear]

Zane smirked at her answer. He found it funny that she didn't like dogs much but ended up surrounded by wolves.
"Well I'm sure you have had many bad experiences around dogs. We are different though. As long as we aren't threatened or such." His mind was still twirling around the idea of the cat in front of him. He could have some fun with this one.

Finishing his meal he leaned back in his chair, stomach full and content as a few wolves, both male and female walked in the room to fill their own stomachs. A few stared at the girl with curiosity in their eyes.

 

[Imaginator]

As other members of Zane's pack began to fill the dining hall to fill their stomachs, Kitty could feel the curious stares. But there were more then just curious stares. Some were filled with distaste. As if Kitty were a piece of rotted trash that needed to be tossed away and never looked at again.

The Neko's ears drooped, and Kitty tucked her tail firmly against herself. And quickly, Kitty ate what was on her plate, quickly going silent, staring down at her hands.

 

[DespairBear]

Zane watched her as the others filled the remaining chairs in tbe large dinning Hall.
"No need to be shy Kitty. You will get to know them in time and then things won't be so strange."

Without another word, Zane stood, a young girl rushing up to take his plate. She was a pretty thing, though only one of her eyes was visible, the other was covered with a white patch. A long scar ran up her cheek and disappeared under her patch, obviously a fresh wound. She avoided all eye contact and hurried to do her duties.

"Come Kitty, let's find you a good place in the pack. Or you could stay and eat with everyone else." He smirked over his shoulder, his words broken when two wolves crashed into each other, fists flying as blood dripped from busted lips and noses.

Zane didn't pay mind to if she followed or not. He continued down the long hall, ascending up a gorgeous dark oak staircase. At the top of the staircase was a large door, etched with different symbols and swirls. Grabbing the necklace around his neck, he held the charm up to a small section in the door that had a similar looking shape. The door opened to reveal a room that was large and plush, a gothic style room. It was drape in red and black, dark purples and blues. Bookshelves lined most of the side wall. A large vanity like mirror and dresser stood on the opposing side. In the center area was a plush looking love seat and couch with a gorgeous table in the middle.

 

[Imaginator]

"I'm not hungry any more."

The Neko muttered, biting at her lower lip nervously, looking back as two of the pack members began to scuffle. The girl's green eyes wide as could be. Their snarls and barking made Kitty's ears droop and tail tuck instinctively. But once finally arriving to the Gothic styled bedroom, the Neko could somewhat relax.

The room was beautiful and lushes. Almost too good to be true. Looking around wearily and feeling rather out of place, Kitty finally looked back at Zane.

"What are you going to do to me?"

Kitty wondered, unable to take not knowing any longer.

 

[DespairBear]

Zane turned and sat on the couch, crossing one long leg over the other as he stretched his arms out over the back of the loveseat.

"Wel that depends. what do you want me to do with you? Let you back out into the human world unsupervised so that men could experiment on you again? Or that other creatures besides my wolves would get you?"

He motioned for her to take a seat as he watched her look around the room. His bed couldn't be seen from where they were now. It was more like a greeting room with a small corridor off to the side that was darkly lit. His actual bedroom was there. Zane didn't mind her exploration, he wanted to see her as her normal self and not tucked away and scared. How else was he going to decide her fate?

"If you don't want to sit you aren't going to get attacked for wandering around. As long as you are with me you are pretty safe. No reason to be scared." His voice was smooth and alluring as he spoke.

He wasn't lying to her, she would be pretty safe with him though he would never say 100% safe because that wasn't true. He had a temper and had struck a few of his people before out of rage. And if he was being completely honest, sometimes he hurt them just because he could. He had to make it known he was still Alpha somehow and that just seemed the easiest way to do such things.

 

[Imaginator]

"I don't want to go back to the lab."

The Neko hissed, ears twitching at the thought of being taken back there. Other then that, Kitty really had no idea. After all, it was this man who had demanded Kitty be brought here. If she wasn't mistaken. But she certainly didn't wish to become a 'pet' either to anyone.

As the man took a seat, composing himself neat and tall, Kitty looked over at the Alpha. Sensing the power radiating from him. But as for what else could be done with her, Kitty really didn't know. Before she had escaped from the lab, that was all she knew.
