Chapter 10

Written by: Cody Furlong & Razorslove

Cody waited to be released from the Enforcers; he tapped his foot impatiently against the floor, he had a lot to tell his father. The Enforcers were only prolonging the bad news the longer they kept him in this room. The young dirty blonde tabby looked up at the clock mounted on the wall just above the door; it was almost seven at night. He hadn't told the Enforcers much and he certainly didn't them about the truth serum or what he had said; and Jett he hadn't told them what they were doing to her. Cody rubbed his chest gently over where his chest wound had been; he wondered how his dad would react to the news of what was really going on in the airship. The tabby's ears perked and he tensed a little; curling his paws into fists as the door to the interrogation room opened Felina walked in. He relaxed a little; but his eyes were more focused on the door behind her closing and click softly as it shut.

"When can I leave commander?" Cody questioned impatiently.

"After you answer one more question Corporal." Felina replied as she walked around the table and sat on the other side.

Cody turned in his chair to face her; he crossed his arms over his chest, he looked over her silently. He didn't want to answer any more questions; he had done enough damage and he didn't want to feel vulnerable anymore.

"What is Turmoil really doing up there?" Felina questioned as she leaned forward.

Cody's ears perked slightly and a grim look crossed his face; he looked away from the older female quietly debating on if he should tell her or not about the newly created demon army hovering overhead. A lump grew in his throat as he looked back at Felina; he uncrossed his arms and leaned forward a little.

"I don't know, she kept us in a room and wouldn't say a word about what she was doing. We were just pawns to get her gold, and no I don't have an idea about what she will ask for next." Cody responded a little irked.

Felina nodded slowly as she stood up from the chair she was sitting in; she looked down at him for a moment then walked to the door.

"Your dad is waiting for you down in the lobby." Felina added as she opened the door.

Cody stood up and walked towards the door; he looked down at the female and then walked out of the room. He wanted to sprint down the hall to the elevator; but forced himself to walk calmly to the elevator; he didn't want them to get the impression that there was something really wrong. As soon as he reached the elevator he jammed his thumb into the down button and pressed it several times. He looked back to see Felina looking at him quietly from where she stood; she was still next to the integration room door watching him. Cody stepped into the elevator as the doors opened up; he pressed the lobby button.

Chance waited quietly in the lobby; he stood near the front desk facing the elevators. He waited for Cody to appear out of one of the three elevators; he looked to the one in the middle where he kissed his wife for the first time, he sighed softly. He uncrossed one of his arms and rubbed the back of his neck gently; his claws scraped gently over his spine; his paw went over the side of his neck to his jaw. He scrubbed his face with his hand as he looked down at the floor.

"Dad?" The deep familiar voice said.

Chance looked up quickly seeing Cody standing in front of him; up close his son looked worn and worried. The light blonde tabby moved forward quickly and embraced his son tightly; the lump in his throat grew leaving him almost unable to speak out.

"Are you okay?" Chance asked quietly as he felt Cody hug him back.

"I'm fine dad." Cody replied assumingly.

Chance let go of him and stepped back looking over him; he was wearing a new clean shirt, the one he was wearing earlier had been torn and bloody. His wrists were missing fur and chaffed from where his bindings had rubbed them raw. Chance looked up at him from his wrists; his ears flattened against his head and a growl erupted from his throat.

"Not here dad, I'll explain when we get back to the salvage yard." Cody interjected quickly.

"There is something I need to tell you as well." Chance added.

Cody nodded and put his hand on his father's shoulder and squeezed gently; he didn't know how he was going to break the news to him that Jett was being tortured. The young tabby led his father out of the Enforcer building and to the black dodge ram quietly; his ears began to fall back against his head. Chance looked over at his son as they walked through the parking lot quietly; there was obviously some bad news that he didn't want to tell him. The two tabbies's walked up to the black truck; Chance hopped into the driver's seat and Cody got in on the passenger side. It was silent in the cab the whole way back to the salvage yard; as he pulled up to the dirt lot Chance turned to Cody parking the truck and turning it off.

"Cody before you go in there is something I need to say." Chance announced.

Cody looked towards Chance quietly and one of his eyebrows rose in a questioning manner.

"Okay dad… what is it?" Cody replied there was a hint of worry in it.

"Well, Jake hasn't exactly been himself lately." Chance said slightly nervous.

"What do you mean not himself?" Cody questioned.

"Well, umm… you'll just have to see for yourself, and don't stare at him either." Chance continued quietly.

"Okay dad." Cody huffed and unbuckled his seat belt.

Chance followed the same motions; he opened his door and stepped out of the car silently. They both walked up to the front door; Chance gripped the door knob tightly in his paw. He looked up at Cody who was probably two inches taller than he was. His son was going to be getting quite a shock when he would finally see that Jake had turned into a female. Chance twisted the knob and pushed the door open wide letting Cody in first, then he followed after him closing the door.

"Jake! We're back." Chance called out loudly.

Cody's ears perked and looked up towards the ceiling as he heard footsteps walking in the room overhead. His eyes followed the footsteps into where the hall was upstairs; he looked to the mouth of the stairs waiting for Jake to appear instead a small dainty female came into view. Even though his dad had told him not to stare that was all he could do; it was the same female he had saw earlier at the dock. His mouth hung open a little as he stared down at the tiny female; Chance reached up and closed the darkly striped tabby's mouth.

"I told you not to stare at him." Chance said somewhat irately.

Cody looked to his dad who stood next to him with a shocked look on his face; then back to the little dark brown female standing in front of him.

"Jake?" Cody asked softly as he took his dad's hand from his face.

The female's head nodded slowly as she looked to Chance worriedly. On the inside Cody felt Grendel leap towards Jake; twisting and raking his insides.

"I want to have him." Grendel purred loudly.

Cody swallowed the forming knot in his throat; he felt his muscles tense. Grendel pushed harder at the barrier he had erected to keep the demon from taking control. The dirty blonde tom ran his hand through his hair shakily. He desperately wanted to reach out and grab Jake and hold him tightly against his chest and kiss him.

"What happened to you? I mean how can you be a girl?" Cody stammered nervously feeling Grendel push harder.

"Well, I called Jett before all of this happened and I questioned her about it. She said when a male is partnered with a female demon; I'll turn into one on the inside and when she takes over I become fully female." Jake replied softly wringing his small hands gently.

Cody continued to stare down at him almost in disbelief; everything was happening to quickly, Turmoil had kat- napped him and questioned him thoroughly, Jett had been kat-napped and punished because of him and now was still being punished by her own choice, Grendel was getting out of hand and now Jake, Jake had turned into a female by his demon.

Grendel purred deeply in satisfaction by the thought of Jake.

"Shut up asshhole." Cody growled loudly.

Chance and Jake looked at each other quietly.

"It's not like I can control it Cody." Jake retorted irkedly.

Cody looked down at the small cinnamon colored she-kat, his ears flattened against his head slightly as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"I wasn't talking to you Jake." Cody whispered.

"Oh well I guess it's okay then." Jake replied turning away from Cody.

Chance smacked his only son upside the head, shaking his head as he walked over to the couch and sat down. Cody followed sitting in the old brown recliner across from him; he began to wring his hands nervously knowing his father would probably explode at the news he was about to deliver about Jett. Jake sat on the other cushion beside him quietly looking at Cody; the little female smiled softly at him, Cody's heart lurched and tighten when he smiled at him.

"Dad I have really bad news." Cody said aloud reluctantly.

Chance and Jake looked towards him; they looked to each other instantly. Chance's ears flattened against his slowly; apparently the look on his own face had tipped him off. Chance didn't say anything though, just continued to look at his son and wait for whatever bad news was going to be given to him.

"Dad… I… Jett." Cody stammered not sure how to tell his father what had happened up there.

Chance's watched his son quietly from where he sat on the other side of the coffee table.

"I'm sorry Dad, Its all my fault! If only they hadn't cut my chest open with that chainsaw!" Cody cried out softly.

Chance and Jake stared at the young tabby after his sudden outburst; Chance's heart jumped into his throat. Cody rubbed over his face with his hand gently looking at his father who sat stiff in his seat; his paws wringing his hands hard. Jake look towards Chance quietly his dainty female ears perked up towards the older blonde tabby that sat next to him.

"Dad they tortured us both; they used mom against me to get information from me." Cody's ears flattened against me. "Jett bit her hand off; and I know Turmoil wants her revenge." Cody announced softly as he rubbed his chest gently. "She wants…" Cody paused for a moment running his big paw through his hair. "Turmoil wants Jett to create a demon army for her." Cody continued.

The room was deadly quiet now; the air didn't flow freely in the room everything stood still. Chance's heart beat became erratic and Alexander made himself painfully known. Cody quietly his eyes concentrated on the dirty carpet; as he went on in detail of what Turmoil had really done to both himself and Jett.

Chance listened on horrified as his son described to him what happened; on the inside he felt his insides cramp and his bones ached more with each word. Alexander ripped at his insides as he listened to the final deed that Turmoil had committed against Cody. The images of a chainsaw ripping through the flesh of his chest and blood spraying everywhere; Jett in the background screaming for them to stop. That was the final thing he needed to push him over the edge; the last tether on his control broke in an instant.

Chance's fur grew darker and stood up on end; every muscle in his body tightened as Alexander took control. The bones in his body cracked as he grew taller; his feet tore through his leather work boots, his shirt popped at the seams.

"Jake… Get away from dad." Cody said aloud as he stood up out of his chair.

Jake stood up slowly as he watched Chance transform before him; Jake's small female body shook in fear as Chance glimpsed up at him. Chance's eyes were completely black; his large paws covered his face his long black claws bit into his scalp. Jake moved away slowly from the angry demon; Jake's foot caught on the coffee table and fell to the ground. In an instant Chance leapt from the couch towards Jake sudden movement; Cody quickly reached out for Jake grabbing him by the straps of his overalls, pulling him out of the way across the floor. Jake yelped loudly as Chance landed were Jake had been lying with a loud thud; the darkly furred demon slashed at Jake's feet roaring loudly in anger. The young blonde tabby pulled Jake up into his arms quickly; his ears flattened against his head as the older tom stood up off the floor. The older tabby's mouth was open baring his fangs at Cody and Jake; Chance growled loudly as he swayed from side to side getting ready to attack. The dirty blonde tom put Jake down on the carpeted floor gently; Cody kept his eyes on his father swaying body his demon completely in control.

"Jake run upstairs and don't come down until I come up there." Cody whispered softly in his ear his hot breath running down his neck.

Jake felt heat creep into his cheeks as he moved around Cody and went up the stairs on the far side of the room; he looked back at the two tabby's they stared at each other quietly. Cody watched Jake go up the stairs quickly out of the corner of his eye; a loud angry growl came from Chance's direction. The large demon looked down at him his nearly black fur shined in the overhead light his stripes were so black they looked purple; his black eyes looked down at him the irises were completely gone.

"Dad please calm down, please you might hurt someone." Cody said calmly trying to bring his father down from that rage.

The growling and snarling came louder as Cody talked softly; Chance pushed the coffee table over as he moved towards Cody quickly. Cody backed up quickly as the demon came at him fast; the young tabby's back hit the wall. Chance lashed out at Cody's head; the dirty blonde tom ducked out of the way quickly his father's claws digging into drywall. Cody rolled across the floor out of the way of his father; Chance pulled his claws from the drywall, pulling a large chunk from wall.

-Upstairs-

Jake paced his room anxiously; his tiny female body trembling with fear, all he heard coming from downstairs was loud growling. Loud bangs and thuds that came from downstairs suddenly stopped; Jake's ears perked and he started to walk towards the door but stopped. Footsteps came from the hall and the small brown female moved away from his bedroom door quickly. The door swung open wide; Cody stood in the doorway quietly; deep gashes and large bruises covered his body.

"Cody!" Jake shouted as he ran over to Cody as he started to lean forward.

Jake held Cody up so he wouldn't fall over; Cody looked down at the she-kat that stood before him holding him up against the door frame.

"Help me with dad." Cody huffed softly in pain.

Jake nodded slowly as Cody stood up straight and walked towards the stairs Jake following close behind him. Down stairs everything was nearly destroyed and the dark furred demon lay on the floor; Jake's ears flattened against his head as he continued to look around. He looked to Chance who was still lying on the floor; Cody had grabbed his arms and he was looking straight at Jake.

"Are you going to come help me?" Cody said aloud.

Jake nodded and hurried down the rest of the steps and over to Cody quickly; the cinnamon colored she-kat picked up Chance's feet. They both lifted the large male off the floor and waddled towards the garage door; they moved quickly putting Chance over the hatch to the hanger and dropped him down it. Chance fell down the tunnel; his body landed on the very thick mat that was at the bottom. Cody and Jake followed after him climbing down the ladder; they grabbed Chance once again dragging him to the cell they kept just in case one of them went demon crazy. Cody closed the door quickly and locked it.
