Hopefully you enjoy!


Anna tensed as the two feral men roared while attacking each other at the hallway. She snapped from the doorway: "Keep it down you two! Vic, knock him down already!"
"What you think I'm doing", he growled, wrestling with Wolverine who tried to stab his stomach. Releasing and kicking runt off, Sabretooth kept himself between his mate and his brother.

Glancing at the lab's other set of doors nervously Anna prayed no-one would hear these two, but they really needed to get out of here.
"You ain't going anywhere", Logan stated at them, growling and lunging at Sabretooth. "You both will get locked up!"
In respond Victor laughed, clawing his brother's face as he got stabbed into leg by the other.

Limping further into the lab Anna promptly looked around for something useful, like a gun or anything. When her gaze settled onto the control panel, she got an idea.
Going back to the doorway, she called: "Vic, play along!"
"What?" he yelled in confuse, seeing from the corner of his eye Anna disappearing from the doorway again.
"Heh", he huffed, punching Logan's strike to aside and went to strangle the shorter feral. "She can be so bossy... You knew that", he taunted, smiling despite of Logan stabbing him, Sabretooth soon coughing blood.
Then there was series of beeping, as all the cells' doors opened. As also one right behind runt.
Punching straight at Logan's stomach as hard he could, Victor then threw Wolverine into the cell and the door slammed shut.

"No!" Logan shouted, running towards the door and punching his claws through the wall. Starting to cut it.
"Anna!" Victor shouted, readying to fight again.
As in cue, all the cells started rapidly to fill with blue colored gas.
Wolverine cursed, hurrying to cut a hole for himself. But he was too slow, and Victor hurried out of the hallway as the gas leaked through the slits which adamantium claws had caused. Leaving his little brother knocked out in the cell.

Seeing Victor coming through the doors and closing them behind himself, Anna sighed a relief, moving her hand off the button that had a label `incapacitatingยด.
"Nice job", she straightened up, holding her bloodied side while turning towards approaching feral man: "I think that gas keeps him down maybe couple of minutes if we-"
Pulled into a hug, flush against Victor with his one hand on her neck and another on her lower back, Anna halted. Hearing the familiar, slightly growling breathing and feeling this competent presence, she melted against him.
Until Victor pushed her away, crouching and brushing away her reddened clothes from the slash wounds.
"Victor we need to go", Anna stressed, biting teeth as the open wound was examined.
"Hey!" she snarled then when feeling tongue at the edges. She slapped the feral's scalp, making him look up with a snarl of his own.

Holding his stare Anna emphasized: "We need to go, now."

Such a bossy one, Victor though as he stood up, picking his mate into his arms. And before she was gonna protest, his mouth tilted down to kiss her deeply. Tongue of his chasing to taste more, hands tightening their grip onto the female.
Pulling away, licking his lips he purred to the panting woman: "Just tell where to go, bambi."

Well if the puss so much wanted, he could carry her a little bit, Anna decided, red faced and glaring up to him.

They were outside, at the front yard when Anna demanded she was lowered to stand on her own feet. Pulling out from her overstuffed hoodie pocket a folded paper, she opened it. Victor looked down at a rough sketch of the School's grounds.
He snickered, earning a frown from Anna.
"What?"
"Nice drawing."
Glaring she pondered if she should kick him, but deciding to be the grownup she just ignored him, looking back at the map.

"The zone of the surveillance weapons starts about at this point", she pointed at the green line drawn around the main building. "But they are pointed outwards and first they put out alarm, after that, maybe after thirty seconds they activate. Though as it could be just kids sneaking out, I believe the weapons are programmed just to incapacitate."

"Unless they aren't, as I'm now here", Victor pondered, Anna nodding.
"Right, so we should be fast nonetheless. I say we try to get through this corner", she pointed at a small forest drawing at the paper. "In this forest is a training course. It's normally off and there are trees growing right next to the wall. We can easily get out by using that way."

"Not bad", Victor smiled, looking at the woman. "Can you run though? With that wound?"
"I can."
He gave a doubtful look.
"I can, Victor."
"I'll just carry you."
"N- Fine", she decided to just let him do what he now wanted, him already lifting her, as they really needed to get the fuck out of here. They couldn't slow down because she didn't want to be a burden. And... She still wasn't as fast as normally, not yet fully recovered.
"Hoist me up more, I'll watch your back."
"First escape bambi, then you can admire me."
"You know what I mean."
"Heh", Victor chuckled, patting her bottom playfully.

As the feral beastman crossed the safe zone, Anna immediately saw over his shoulders surveillance machines raising from the ground.
"Be ready", she warned, seeing how the small red lights blinked, hearing fastening beeping. Then something flying fast after them.
"Jump left!"
"Jump right!"
"Right!"
"Roll!"

"Fucking hell", Victor cursed, protecting Anna as he rolled forward, feeling something brushing past his head. "See anyone yet?"
"Nope, left!"
Almost at the tree line, Victor heard Anna cursing: "Shit, Ororo is in the air, coming here."
"Okay, I'm gonna throw you over the wall", Victor warned, rushing past trees and through bushes.
"WHAT!?"
"Don't scream! Ready, one, two-"
"Don't you dar- FUCKYOU!"
Anna shouted as Victor, after running and climbing against the wall, tossed her over it and vaulted right after.
He landed onto his feet at the other side, unlike Anna. She laid on her back, having air knocked out by the impact and her wounded body aching.
"Eh, you okay?" Victor asked, somewhat worried, but then smiled as Anna silently gave the finger with an angry glare.
"Good, sorry, not usually doing this kind of stuff", he hurried to gather her back into his arms, Anna almost strangling Victor with her hugging.

"I hate you", she growled as he run, Victor chuckling.
"Take it as a payback for being difficult in the past."
"I'll show you difficult..."
"Yeah yeah, you see the witch?"
"Not yet. Turn left, there's a river we can cross and make Logan loose our scent. Plus there's enough trees to cover us from Ororo."
"Nicely planned bambi."
"Don't try being sweet with me."


X-men had lost Sabretooth and Anna. The two had escaped, and there was mixed up emotions among the team. Thinking what had happened.
Why did Anna do this? Was she forced to?
But Logan said shortly, that Anna had betrayed them. She had knowingly, by her own free will, helped the feral man and escaped with him.
The security footage from all over the School proved it.

Hank blamed himself, feeling like he had let down the team as also Anna, letting Sabretooth influence her.

Logan was just angry. Replaying in his mind how Anna's face had changed, what she had said, before she released Sabretooth.
It felt like, she showed something that Logan had never seen in her before, something different from her usual self. It, what she has done, made him question what he thought he knew about the woman...


After the escape from X-men's mansion, it had been almost absurdly easy for them to find a place for the night.
Victor made just couple of calls from a payphone and now, they were stepping into some nice hotel's penthouse.

Still slightly limping, pulling down hood form her head, Anna walked further in while looking around.
A wide, high room which had full carpet flooring, doors leading into more rooms and large, expensive looking decoration and furniture.
"How's your side", Victor asked while closing the door behind them. She shrugged, keeping at glancing around. She approached window wall, seeing the nightly city outside.
Unlike down at the ground level, up here it was far more quiet, barely hearing the noise pollution.

"Sit down", the feral man motioned towards a long, half-curving couch at the middle of the room, surrounding a fireplace.
Silently she obeyed, sitting at the edge of the sofa, Victor next to her.
"...You okay?" he asked, snapping her out of it. She nodded, taking off the hoodie and a t-shirt, leaving her with bras.
She didn't say anything either when Victor pushed her laying onto her side, examining the wounds.

The main issue was, that Anna felt a bit alien in this environment. How easily Victor had gotten them here, just by couple of phone calls. The hotel was clearly expensive, high class. It not only felt strange but it also emphasized how influential Victor was. Though it should have already been clear by how he had gotten her private room back at the hospital.
It shouldn't trouble her this much, really. Yet it still surprised her...

Anna twitched when there was uncomfortable pressure put onto her wounds: "Hey!"
"Good, thought you were in shock or something", the feral man noted, glancing from her back to the wounds: "The bleeding has stopped, seems like some inner flesh has mend itself back together already. Though the skin hadn't closed yet, so we gotta clean it."
"Okay."
Victor stared at her, she answering the questioning look: "What?"
"Why are you so quiet?"
How should she explain it? And not sound ungrateful, complaining or timid at the same time? And why should she even be intimidated? She should enjoy of this kind of change of pace.
"Just tired", she answered, turning onto her back, putting legs onto Victor's lap. "You usually lay low in these kind of places? Like a house cat?"

The examining look of his twisted into smirk, the feral man turning and climbing on all fours over her.
"A house cat eh?" he huffed while leaning down, clawed fingers caressing her short hair, it almost the same length it had been before the kidnap.
"Can't think something else than just cat puns?" he purred, lips brushing against hers.
"Mmm", Anna hummed as she felt a bit dizzy, intoxicated by the closeness that they finally got to embrace after so long. All the stress, hesitation and guilt melting off as she looked into the predator's eyes.

"You make it so easy, puss", she finally said, grinning. Then giggled at the deep growling, before he nibbled her throat. She yelped, raising hands onto Victor's neck, fingers sinking into his short hair.
"I by the way heard", Anna whispered into the man's ear: "That you had long hair at one point."
"Yeah, then got to cut it to disguise. Have been much easier without it though", he told while the warm breath of his tickled against her skin. "You saw a pic?"
"No, I talked with this girl, long brown hair with white stripes?"
Mentioning the girl halted Sabretooth.

"She told about me?"
"It was a attempt to convince me of how mean you are."
Victor chuckled, sitting up.
"Like you didn't know that already."
"Oh no, I had a hunch before that, but wasn't just sure."

Anna watched as he got his upper body naked, carelessly throwing clothes away. And wanting to feel, yet still a bit unsure of things, she reached one hand to him. Caressing bare stomach, feeling the body of the beast. Earning approving sound.
"Should we get cleaned up?" she suggested, stopping and carefully sitting up.

Even the shower was luxurious, Anna standing naked in there and not sure what button to push. Luckily Victor knew, putting on a simple, soft waterfall, setting comfortable temperature.
"Okay, this I like", the woman sighed, eyes closed for a moment, tilting her head backwards. Feeling the other right behind and so turning her face with opened eyes, looked back at him. Then was puzzled as he said: "You ain't gonna snap this time?"
"Snap?"
"Like in the motel?"

The memory of that incident created a heavy discomfort, ruining the good, fragile mood. It was irritating.

"If you are worried about that, then guess we should shower separately."
"Well I ain't gonna get out."
"Me neither", she said back, turning around to glare at him.

"Don't know what you getting so pissed off about", he muttered, gaze unwavering from hers.
"Cause you ruined the mood", she tried to explain, only getting a sardonic answer: "How should I figure out, when will you suddenly act up?"

The two ferals glared at each other.
Anna felt frustrated and angry, the fire inside spiraling so fast into a roaring forest fire.

"...Fucking mistake", she spat without much thinking, slamming the shower's door open to aside and stepped out. Fuck him and fuck this place! She was gonna sleep outside on a street then, she can survive without his idiotic ass!

She shouted when she was yanked back, hands grabbing her middle. Furious and instinctively Anna started fighting against Victor's tightening hold, until felt sharp teeth snapping onto her neck.
