[quote][b]Kat (Sep 29, 2004 09:50 p.m.):[/b] She had learned early on that they never came alone; there was always at least two, usually more, as if they could intimidate her with a show of force. It might have worked in the beginning, when she was new to the games they played at night, but they were not the first group to try it. She had been here a long time, longer than they had, and there was a reason she was still alive and the others were not. She was not afraid of them. There were four of them this time, and they were older than usual, bigger. They were meaner, too; it had been only two weeks since they'd arrived, and she'd already fought with them once. Sometimes once was all it took, but these ones were persistent, and as she watched them gather down the hall she knew that she'd have to finish it this time, or they'd never go away. Their leader, the one they called Rat, smirked at her and made a gesture at the others. "Four against one, Kitty," he slurred, and some of them started to move forward. Kat held her ground and smiled brightly at him. "I didn't know they taught army rejects how to count," she said in a sweet little voice. "Did they teach you how to get your asses kicked, too?" "Fucking bitch!" one of them shouted, and threw something at her. It shattered in front of her, and she hissed as broken glass cut her bare feet. The splash of alcohol only added insult to injury, and her eyes narrowed as she looked down at her wet, bloody feet and then back up to Rat. He was already closing the distance between them, and now Kat could smell the alcohol on him, too, on all of them. No wonder they'd found the courage to come after her tonight. But Kat had courage too; she was just as drunk as they were, only on hate for them, hate for all the ones who thought she was something to be taken, and it made her smile return. "Come and get it, merdana," she challenged, and when they started running she ran too. She left bloody little footprints as she sprinted down the corridor, looking over her shoulder to taunt them for their slowness, and she thought for certain that they'd give up when she suddenly ran into a brick wall. At least, it felt like a brick wall, and the wind left her lungs in a whoosh as she was knocked to her back. From the floor she could see that it wasn't a wall at all, but someone now standing over her, and her vision swam as the someone laughed. "Five against one," it said, and Kat realized that she had been the one to miscount. [i]No.[/i] "Bitch ran straight into ya," laughed Rat's breathless voice, and Kat shook her head to clear it and tried to stand, but she never made it to her feet. The one who'd knocked her down kicked her in the ribs, and then the others were on her, and she could do little more than struggle. They dragged her into one of the nearby rooms and threw her into the middle, circling around her like sharks ready to feed. They came at her one at a time, toying with her, the others jeering as she tried to fight them off one by one, and they were all bloody when one of them finally managed to restrain her. "I'm first," Rat asserted, and when he started to loosen the ties at his waist, Kat suddenly understood that they weren't here to kill her at all. [i]No.[/i][/quote]
