[quote][b]Kat (Oct 15, 2004 09:39 p.m.):[/b] Kat was afraid of the Man. It was only a few days after she'd stomped away from Asmodeus' room and swore she wouldn't speak to him again that he appeared. The first time she saw him was in the common area, and he'd tried to talk to her, just like another man had tried before, but she'd ignored him and left. She thought that would be the end of it. He approached her again a week later, and grabbed her arm when she made to run away, and that was when Kat began to be afraid of him. He was a big Man, a lot older than her, a lot stronger, a lot meaner, with dark eyes that watched her with an expression she didn't want to understand. He was always watching her. It had been a month since she first saw him, and now it seemed like he was everywhere, all the time, following her at a distance through the hallways and waiting for her wherever she went. She tried to scare him away, but he was persistent and Kat had no weapon but words. They did little good. Once he cornered her when she was alone, and said nasty things to her, and she'd only managed to get away by chance. Kat didn't want to rely on chance. Every day she spent searching desperately for something to use against him, a piece of metal, a toothbrush, something she could make into a weapon to teach him to leave her alone, but there was nothing to be had. With no weapon, she had to rely instead on being faster than he was, and on staying away from him as much as possible. Sometimes, when she was really scared, she considered asking Asmodeus for help, despite her resolution to stay away. Once, after the Man had told that she couldn't tell him no forever, she actually went to Asmodeus' room. He wasn't there. She took it as a sign that he had given up on her, and she knew it was her own fault, and she regretted it... but she didn't go back. Until a month later, when the Man touched her. She spent a lot of time out of her room now, sometimes hiding in the showers to avoid him, but it had been several days since she'd seem him last and Kat was exhausted. Her tired mind rationalized that perhaps he was gone, and that perhaps he would leave her alone now, for at least one time, and that was enough to make her return to her room. She just wanted one night to sleep. Tomorrow she would find someplace else to stay, and he wouldn't be able to find her, and she would be alright. It was the sound of breathing that woke her, and then the feel of hands on her. Her eyes flew open and she screamed, but he already had a hand over her mouth. She could see his silhouette in the dark, and she remembered Rat, remembered Burr, and lashed out as hard as she could with her fists. She wouldn't let him do that. The fight was brief but vicious, the Man using his superior strength and size against her, Kat using whatever she could to drive him away. He fell back when she punched him full in the throat, and that was all the opening she needed; in an instant she was up and out of her room, running as fast as she could, her breathing harsh and tears in her eyes as she tried to find someplace to hide. She ran straight to Asmodeus. Like the first time she knocked on his door, and then she pounded on it, frightened and desperate. There was no sound from inside, and she looked frantically down the dark corridor and then bowed her head, her voice shaking. "Mode... please let me in, [i]please[/i]...."[/quote]
