Razer's Story

"I'm sorry, Razer. For getting you involved. I didn't think...", Skye found himself apologising, though he really couldn't have done anything different. He couldn't have known that the ship he and Aria had 'boarded' was Razer's, or that he was a Beast-kin as well, on the run from the Camps.

"I watched Aria with the locks before...maybe I could attempt it with these?", he mused, shuffling to the door, and examining the lock, though being careful to not touch the bars. He didn't need to be in any more pain. The locks looked similar to the ones from the cells at the Camps, but he couldn't really tell either way.

The tiger stayed quiet for he had nothing he could really say at this point. It was not his fault these two stumbled upon his ship or that he took them in. Instead he shifted in the slightest before perking at the idea of a possible break out. If Skye could really pick the locks on the cells then they could probably sneak in on the sins, kill them and take over the ship, after all he was a captain. "Are they similar?" he asked, sitting up to see if Skye had made any progress, though he turned his head toward Aria to see if she had any way of letting them know.

The fox lifted her head and started at Skye and the lock. After a couple of seconds she lowered her head and rolled her eyes. She knew these locks. They were very similar to the ones that were at the Camps, but yet much different. Instead of the simplicities of a key in a hole it also had a computer near the far right with a code. Without out a hacker to get into the system and the lock pick they would have never gotten out of the cells to begin with. "Something is wrong," Razer stated just after the fox rolled her eyes. "What is wrong?" he turned his attention back to the man who was examining the lock.

At Razer's question, Skye looked up from the lock, and shook his head.
"I can't do anything with these...I need the codes to even make a start on them. If it was just a simple lock I could do it...", he said, dejected, and sat back away from the locks, sighing. They were done, he knew it. They had no way of getting out, and certainly no way of calling for help. Not that help would be able to get here, even if they could figure out some way of contacting anyone.

They.

Were.

Screwed.

"Ah s***!" Razer shouted, pushing himself away from the floor and into the cells. He could not believe that the cells had advanced even more since his own escape from the Casta Camps. He stumbled over to the bars and made sure to keep his hands off the slightly electrified metals as he pushed his hands through and tinkered with the codes for a moment. After two denials he fell back to the floor and slammed his fists into the ground. "What does she want with us anyway?! The Beast-Kin have proven to her over and over that we have NO magi blood! We'll never have what she wants from us."

Perking up, the fox listened to the boys and then closed her amber-gold eyes. Their voices would eventually annoy her with all their shouting and frustration. At this point she had hoped to be back in her home town where all the men were very calm and collective, but she knew that was only a wish in their current situation. Her tail flicked from side to side as she thought of all the possible ways to get out of the cell before her beast took over. Soon she was sitting in the middle of the cell scratching at her ears and then passing around the cell like the trapped animal she was. The black fox whimpered from time to time, and then would lay down again, only to repeat the action moments later.

Skye tugged at the collar a little, careful not to activate it. Him being in pain wouldn't help. He glanced over to Aria, noticing her getting more and more frustrated. Sighing, he went over towards the bars, crouching down near them.

"How you holding up, Aria?", he asked, though chances were he wouldn't understand her response in this form. He would attempt to though, mainly for her sake. To keep her feeling at least slightly human. That was really all he could do for her right now...

The fox turned her honey-gold eyes toward Skye as she spoke to him. Of course I'm not fine.... how would you like to be trapped without any communication... in a form that could devour who you really are. She growled, sitting back on her haunches as she stared at him furiously. Then she took in a deep breath and looked up at the ceiling. It was not fair to growl at someone who had been trying to help her out though, but foxes don't have very many communicational vocals, so growling was relatively all she could do. Her large fox tail rose off the ground and wrapped around her entire body like a blanket as she sat there. She nuzzled her head into the fluff with a frown on her foxy face and tears began to roll down her cheekbones. She realized now how trap she really was. How in a matter of time she would lose herself and fall into a the wild manners of a real fox.

"Someone's coming." Razer suddenly said, and of course Sheela rounded the corner and peeled away from the shadows into the light. Her skin gleamed as the room jolted from the sudden landing. Her crimson eyes took in the two men in their cell and the fox caged by herself.

"We've arrived. Your punishment will be grand." her eyes studied them for a moment before the bottoms of their cells open and dropped them into two new cells that were surrounded by other cells with other creatures. Some in human form, others in their beast form. The beasts though could not be called human any longer. Lions and tigers paced about growling and roaring at one another. The humans either looked paranoid or angry when they spotted the three new additions. Razer stood to move toward the bars when he saw a man dragging a dead red-fox beast-kin through the middle of the cells. "Welcome to the battle arenas..." Sheela opened the cell and suddenly their collars started to electricute them until she had Skye on a leash in hand out in the middle of the cells. "Come now, you get to watch the first fight of the night my little kitty." She pulled him down the hallway once she had closed the cell behind him leaving Razer and Aria alone.
