Cici reached the bottom of the stairs with powerful thuds, the claws on her feet tearing into the floor below her. There was a long corridor ahead of her, and a door at the end of it. Two men stood guard in front of this door, but before they could react, she ran at them, reaching them in moments, and with two quick slashes, their heads separated from their bodies. Without even giving them a second thought, she ripped the door open, and beyond that door was a large square room, with 6 doors on the right side of the room, and 6 on the left. There were 4 men in here, who stared wide eyed at the crazed cat girl stalking into the room.
"What the hell is that??" One of the men said, but before he could ask anything else, Cici was there, and introduced his neck to her claws, and then darted like a bullet towards the other 3 men that were on opposite ends of the room like a bullet, spilling their blood, and ending their disgusting lives within seconds.
As she calmed down from the exchange, the sounds of smacking flesh and crying came from the door directly to her right, and she acted immediately, grabbing the door handle, and ripping the door open. As she did so, the people inside startled. There was a large bed at the back of the room, and on the bed was an ugly flabby man, naked as the day he was born. What sent Cici into a rage was the two women bound to the bed with steel cuffs around their wrists and ankles, tears falling from the eyes, and currently... this man was...
"What... the hell is..." The man said, or more so, that's all he had the chance to say, as Cici darted forward.
The women looked with wide eyed surprise and fear at her athletic prowess as she reached the man in mere moments, and then she sunk her claws into his back. The man let out a pain scream as he hauled him back off of the bed, and threw him to the side against the wall. She hissed in fury as she ran at him, and kicked him in the face as hard as she could. Her foot crashed into his face, but kept traveling through it, his head cracking and splitting apart as blood and bone flew in all directions. Her foot connected with the stone wall, cracking the foundation behind it. The man's limp and headless body fell to the floor with a thud.
"Hey! I know you're having fun in there, but keep it down!" A voice said from the otherside of the wall, and Cici bristled at the casual way he said it, like kidnapping and raping these poor girls was just another damn day of the week.
Cici turned to the girls, their eyes wide with terror as they looked at her beastly and menacing appearance. A part of Cici softened, the rage quieting slightly as she walked towards them. The girls flinched, but were unable to move.
"PLEASE DON'T! JUST LET US GO!" One girl said, while the other seemed to scared to say or do anything.
Cici looked at her hands, her long and black glowing claws stained with blood. She reached the girls, and the one girl screamed and closed her eyes, while the other just stared, almost like she was accepting her fate. She spoke, or tried to anyways. It was a little harder in this form, and came out like a feminine growl more than anything.
"Won't... hurt you..." She said, and that actually caused the one girl to open her eyes again, and watched as Cici brought her claws to the chains around her ankles. She flinched, but then just stared in disbelief as Cici cut through hers and the other girl's chains like they were made of butter. Cici did the same to the ones around their wrists.
The girls looked at their limbs, now free from their bindings and then looked back at Cici. Cici gave a smile, or tried to, but they way they both flinched made it clear that it didn't work as intended. It probably looked scary.
"Run... I will... help the others." Cici said, before she turned around and began to make her way out of the room.
"W-w-wait!" One girl said, causing Cici to turn back around to find that it was the more quiet of the two that had spoken up, "My... my sister is here... somewhere. I won't leave without her." The girl looked afraid, but also determined, as she stared at the transformed cat girl...
"What... are you?" The other girl asked, and before Cici could think of an answer, more cries and pleas for help captured her thoughts again, and her body began to glow with an angry aura, causing the girls to pale and step back.
Without a word, Cici ran out of the room, breaking down the next room, and doing much the same to the man in there, and repeated that process. Not every room was occupied, but she had killed another 5 men, and saved another 7 girls from their terrible fates. The last girl was beaten so badly that her eyes were almost swollen shut. Cici had cut the chains binding her, but the girl was too injured, and it both caused more rage to build in her chest, but also caused an ache in her chest. Her claws receded as she lifted the girl off of the bed, and brought her out into the main square room, where the other girls actually waited.
None of them had ran off, despite a lot of them being frightened by her. However, there was also a look of gratitude in their eyes. Cici overheard many of them saying that they wouldn't leave without their friends, noting that they must have built many bonds and connections during this time of captivity. Even in her rage induced state, she could respect their dedication to each other. She was in control of herself, so to speak, but when it came to these nasty men, she just couldn't help herself from tearing them apart. She had never killed anyone before today, and now, here she was, slaughtering men left and right. Even so, she couldn't leave these girls alone, and if this is what she had to do to save them, then so be it. Still... no sign of Rachel yet.
As she brought the girl towards the others, many of them shyed away from Cici, but the quiet girl, the one who was looking for her sister, broke out in to tears as Cici carried the limp, but still breathing woman in her arms.
"ALICIA!" The girl cried as she ran over, completely disregarding the scary cat girl in favor of the girl that had to be her sister.
With her actions, the girl that had been chained up with her also strode forward.
"Hurt... but alive." Cici said, and if she was being honest, not being able to talk properly was getting annoying, but there was nothing to be done about it right now. Her transformed state seems fueled by her anger, and it wasn't going away until the problem had been dealt with.
The girl stopped in front of Cici, as did the other girl, and together, they took her from Cici's arms, and knelt to the ground with her, her sister cradling her head in her lap. The girl seemed to stir, and even through blurry and swollen eyes, she reached a hand up, and her sister caught it instantly.
"Mandy...?" It was both a question, and confirmation. Mandy was her name. Cici hadn't bothered to ask for their names, but it was better than calling her the quiet girl, especially since she wasn't very quiet right now as she sobbed and held her sister to her.
Mandy then looked up at Cici, and she was surprised when the girl spoke.
"Thank you... thank you so much, Miss Cat." She said through, and that actually almost caused Cici to laugh, but this was not a humorous situation.
"Are you real...?" The girl next to Mandy asked, and Cici paused, deciding how to answer, and then decided to ask something else instead.
"Where are... the others? Looking for... someone." Cici said, and it was Mandy who answerd first.
She pointed towards the end of the square room, where a set of doors was located.
"They keep us in cells... and they only take us out to use us..." Mandy said, her voice trembling, and Cici growled low under her breath as she stomped towards the doors, and kicked them open, and what she saw... it only made her rage intensify.
There were dozens of doors on both sides of a narrow corridor, and inside of each door, she heard the sounds of pleas for help, of crying, and in some of them, she smelled decay... the scent of death. As she walked through the corridor, she heard the sounds of some of the other girls following behind her, and even heard some of them start talk to the girls inside of the cells, telling them everything was going to be okay. One of the girls stopped in front of one of the doors where the smell of death was strong, and she dropped to the floor, and clawed at the door as she sobbed. Cici's eyes blazed with abyssal energy. This was disgusting...
Cici's ears twitched as she walked down the corridor as she heard something being carried through the long hall.
"NO! STOP! GET OFF OF ME!" A voice that she recognized yelled, the voice of Rachel, pleading and sobbing.
Cici rushed forward towards the noise that she found was coming from a door at the end of the long corridor.
"Oh, I like you! Beg and scream more!" A male voice said, and that turned Cici's eyes red.
She reached the door in seconds, and she slammed into it with all of her might. It was a metal door, and she hit it so fast and so hard that she broke through the door completely, creating a large Cici sized hole in it as she was now standing in a low lit room.
The room looked almost like a normal bedroom, complete with a dresser to the left as well as a desk, and even a small living space to her immediate right complete with a large chair, a couch, and one of those TV things she watched those shows with Eli on. However, it was what was at the end of the room that truly set Cici's blood to boiling.
There was a man, currently looking back and staring wide-eyed at Cici, and below him... was Rachel. Tears streamed down her face, but she too was staring at Cici like she couldn't believe her eyes. Then, Cici looked at the situation. How Rachel was tied to the bed, how they were both completely naked, and how this fucking man, this ugly and disgusting man, had himself positioned right at Rachel's entrance.
"WHAT THE FU-"
That was all the man had the chance to say. Cici's anger turned blinding for a woman she didn't even like. In one second, she was standing in the doorway, and in the next, she was grabbing the man by the hair, and throwing him across the room where he slammed into the wall with such force that it sounded like all of the bones in his body broke. She might have killed him right then and there, although she was too mad to care about that.
Cici lept atop the man's still form, and began savaging him with her claws, flesh and bone rending and ripping away as she screamed in fury. The floor and wall next to her soon became painted in blood as she kept ripping, kept tearing, kept screaming her rage. She was completely oblivious to the wotld around her as she just kept going, her anger not letting her stop.
"Cici."
She thought she heard a voice, but her anger drowned it out, almost like it wasn't even there.
"Cici!"
The voice seemed more urgent now, but it was only a distraction that would prevent her from doing what she had to do. She brought her right hand up, and went to slash again, but a hand caught her wrist. It was both strong, yet gently.
"CICI!!"
The voice finally broke her out of her trance, and when she turned around, a pair of concerned yet loving eyes, ones that no matter what color they were, what shape they were, she always knew who they belonged to, and they would always ease her mind and heart.
"I'm pretty sure he's dead, kitten." Eli said softly, and his voice, his face, and the way he looked at her broke through the haze of anger like shattered glass.
