Erin slowly became conscious, her eyes still closed as she waited to hear her mother bustling around as usual and calling for her to get up. She never understood how her mother could be so active in the morning. Something felt different, but she couldn't quite tell what. Instead of hearing her mother's voice, a man's voice rung out in the room.

"Hello my specimens."

Erin's eyes shot open as she sat straight up, but she immediately closed her eyes again, placing her hands over them to block out the light. It was so bright it hurt. What was going on?

"Let me explain where you currently reside at, you're in a prison for your existence, you're an abomination that must be studied for the greater good."

The man's voice said, as he let out a laugh that sounded purely evil, almost booming in her ears. Why was it so loud and bright? And abomination? What is this? What was he talking about? Erin opened her eyes, more slowly this time so her eyes could have time to adjust. The last words of the man's message still ringing through her brain.

"You're mine now."

Nothing was making sense. "Where am I?" she wondered aloud, taking in her still bright surroundings. It was a small room, a cell really, with a heavy metal door that had a small slot in the middle. On the opposite wall was the bed she was still sitting on. It was hard and the pillow and cover were rough and thin. She put a hand up to her hair, which felt terribly knotted and something felt strange about it. She tried to draw her fingers through the tangles, something strange coming loose in her fingers. She brought her hand down to look at it and saw a ... a feather? She felt through her hair again, found another feather, and pulled. It actually hurt like she was pulling her hair out. Must be tangled in, she thought, noticing a small mirror on the wall to her left. She got up, as a wave of nausea crashed over her. She quickly sat down again, waiting for the feeling to pass, then got up more slowly, making her way to the mirror. Her bare feet padded silently on the cold cement floor. She felt light, almost springy, feeling as if she had weights on for a long time and had just taken them off.

When she got to the mirror, she saw there were feathers in her hair, but they weren't tangled in, they were actually attached to her scalp. She pulled one to make sure, and it was like trying to pull a tender hair out. She turned quickly, not wanting to look any more and sat down on the bed, pulling her legs in close to her and trying not to hyperventilate.She heard yelling out side the door, then a faint hello. She ignored it, squeezing her eyes shut and putting her head on her knees. What in the world was happening?

Erin took in a shaky breath, her head still on her knees and her eyes still closed. She heard several other people yelling out, but her mind didn't take in any of what they said. Just how many people are in here? Were they all taken like she was? Her thoughts seemed to race, and she began trembling.

"No, don't panic! You can't panic!" she said to herself in a determined voice. She bit her lip and slowly opened her eyes, calmly surveying every inch of the room once again. Every time panic tried to swallow her again, she mercilessly squashed it. She could not just panic and shut things out. She had to accept that this is where she was and she needed figure out a way to get out of here.

She slowly straightened her legs and swung them over the side of the bed. She calmly stood and walked over to the door, focusing on each step. Why did her body feel so strange? It was too light. She made it over to the door, and flipped the slot open. She looked to see what was out there. Some of the other people were yelling something about food and being hungry. She carefully scanned her limited view. Directly across from her, another pair of eyes peered out of the slit in the door. She could see little but a couple other cells to the left, but to the right she could just barely see the edge of another door at the end of the hall. Erin wasn't sure whether or not it was another cell. She fought down another wave of panic until she was calm and in control of her emotions.

"My name is Erin Otus. Was everyone else here kidnapped too?" She called out, loud enough that the others would be able to hear her.

Vitane shifted in her bed, rolling herself over half way asleep, but the pain in her back was growing. She lowered her eyebrows at this. Her bed was temperpedic, meant to help her injury rather than worsen it and this matress felt oddly like something that she would think would be kept inside a prison. She mumbled something unintelligable and let her eyes slowly flutter open, her eyebrows still knit together in unision. She grimaced at the blinding light that scorched her vision and she scrunched them closed again before letting her eyes get adjusted to it. She hissed, her neck moving her head one way then the other to find herself in a tiny cell room, a door opposite of her from this horrid thing that someone referred to as a bed.
She immediately stood, the movement abrupt, yet graceful. Her eyes averted from the opening in the door to the ground. She already didn't like this and her eyes were never raised in the slightest. If anyone had seen her, they would have thought she had been enraged by the scowl on her face. She let out a low growl, which surprised herself. At home she tended to make animalistic noises naturally, but this sounded legitimate. Like she actually had the vocal chords that could emit an actual sound of a beast.
She sighed and looked all around her, trying to find something distinct about where she was held, but the only other thing above her besides the God awful strobe of a light was an intercom speaker. Still looking at it in disgust, she bounced back a bit when it began spitting out words.
"Specimens?" She snarled, coming to see that she was suited in all white and she was even more disheartened. Of all things it had to be white? What was wrong with black? She lived and breathed in dark clothes and this was just too much for her. She needed a ciggarette. Now.
She had listened, partially to the continuing male above her and when he said something about being imprisoned a pang of worry flooded through her but it did not show on her face. She inhaled a deep breath and let it out slowly, scoffing when he mentioned that her and whoever else was trapped with her were abominations. Whoever this guy was, she already wanted to get her hands on his neck and tear into his jugular with her teeth.
She stopped herself mid-thought. Why was she thinking such vile things? Now her brows were placed in a curious kind of curiosity but they never releaved themselves from staying brought together. At the thought of her teeth, her tounge passed over them and her eyes shot open wide. Instead of smooth, flat gnashers, her entire mouth was overfilled with sharp, small, pointed fangs. She was so confused now. What had actually happened? She needed to know or she would go crazy. Immediately after learning that her teeth had been replaced somehow, she began to pace. Hopefully it would relieve the overwhelming feeling inside of her.
She shuddered when the guy above - whom she had decided to deem the nickname "creep" - added that there would be not fathomable way to escape without going through a lot. Her mind was racing and all she wanted was a tobacco product in her mouth. It would calm her nerves and she would actually be able to focus on one thing, rather then just rage and stay angry at creep.
Her impecible ears twitched and it felt odd to her, she looked up as if thinking she would see them and caught the slightest flash of orange.
"The fuck?" She reached up quickly and her eyes widened, as well as her mouth now as her fingertips met the soft fur of a fox. A light nick hit her ear and she stretched her hand out in front of her to see the tiniest black nails proceeding from her fingers, rather than her black painted nails.
This was just getting weirder and weirder for Vitane, but the hits just kept coming one after the other. She decided to completely observe herself, since she had missed a couple of major details an found that she had a long, fluffy, tail of orange and white. She shook her head, not even wanting to touch it. She was slightly beginning to believe the whole "abomination" fiasco.
Tiny beads of sweat began forming on her forehead and temples and she wiped them away with her sleeve before fanning her face with both clawed hands.
Her attention was directed towards the door when her ears were picking up new voices, but they were muffled. The other's that creeper had said about must be around her as well. Her eyebrows hardly lifted at the fact that she was not the only one suffering. She still had compassion for the others going through the same agony as herself, but the idea of her being alone sounded much more frightening, although if you asked, Vitane never would have admitted it.
Her ears perked towards her left where she heard the smallest voice. It was a meek, almost unaudible tone, but she could easily her the female. She must have been placed right next to her because everyone else was a bit harder to understand. Especially since they all were screaming about where they were and whatnot.
Her head turned around as she heard a name being used on the other side of the wall. She scoffed again and sauntered over towards the other wall, leaning her back against it and examining her nails before replying, "Pretty sure we all just wanted to lay in their comfortable beds for a night. I'll be checking out in the morning." Vitane sighed and lifted herself off of the wall to head to the other side. She knocked on the concrete, unsure if it would be heard, but it was worth a shot.
"You okat in there?" She asked the other girl. Something about her made her want to take care of her. Just the light and insisting voice while her other neighbor seemed like asking the obvious stupid question which the fox-girl looked down upon with a light snicker.

Haru sighed. You need to calm yourself. You are just freaking out that is all, she thought to herself.

"My name is Erin Otus. Was everyone else here kidnapped too?"

Haru heard a girls voice coming from what seemed like maybe a few cells down from hers. She took in a deep breath, reminding herself that now wasn't the time to be yelling. She stepped up to the door to reply to the girl that called herself 'Erin'. "My name is Haru." She said loudly, this time her voice much calmer. "I figure that everyone that is here has probably been kidnapped as well." She said then stepped away from the door and made her way back to the bed. She sat down, her tail curled over her lap and her ears sitting normally. "If you keep sounding so pathetic, everyone will see how weak you are.." she said softly to herself. Then looked over at the door. Her stomach grumbled and her limbs were sore, but she ignored it. "Enough yelling" she whispered as she lied down, her eyes locked on the ceiling. The only way you will ever have a chance of getting out of here is if you pay attention to every detail. First, you know that there HAS to be a room the man that talked to us earlier is in. It's safe to assume that his room is closest to the door to get out of here. Haru rolled over in bed, her eyes now focusing on the cell door. Secondly, you need to figure out how many people are also locked up and how many of them are willing to join you in your escape. Those too afraid to will just have to stay here. She felt guilty thinking this, but she knew in this moment that if she kept up acting like a little girl that she'd never have a chance of seeing the sunlight again.

After Erin asked her question, a strange feeling came over her. She never even heard anyone's answer as her whole body began to shake violently. She slowly got up and went back to her bed. The shaking became worse as she began to feel hot then cold in cycles. Suddenly the pain started. It felt as though her very bones were on fire. It ran through her in waves, intensifying and then slowly dying down, only to intensify once more. She collapsed into her bed, still shaking violently as she pulled the rough cover up over her head. The pain made her moan in agony. She just barely was able to keep from screaming because she knew once she did, she wouldn't stop. She began hallucinating, her mind trying to escape from the agony. She saw her mother in the room, telling her to get up so she could go to school, the voice slowly changing from her mother's to the evil sounding voice from before.

"No, no, no, NO!" Erin said, her voice getting louder with each 'no' until she was screaming. She saw the figure of her mother dissolve into mist that came and grabbed at her, and each time one of the dark tentacles touched her it felt like her whole body was on fire. The vision finally faded as the pain continued to grow, no longer just coming in waves. Finally, after tossing and turning, frantically trying to put out the fire, her screams suddenly stopped as she lay totally still, her eyes blankly staring at the ceiling.

Am I dying? she thought slowly, as darkness, merciful darkness, began to swallow the unbearable pain. Her eyes eventually closed as she was immersed in total darkness, slowly becoming a part of it. The only thing in the darkness was her own heartbeat, and she listened without thought or remorse as it became slower and fainter. Eventually it stopped all together and she felt a release. Though her body was now dead and in a cell, her soul was free and alive, freer than it had ever been, soaring through eternity.
