Chapter 1

The next morning he stepped into my cage he had a beautiful cat in his hands.
It looked at me with the same fearful eyes which were about to be in my possession.
The mad man murdered it in front of my eyes. Poor creature, I thought.
I sadly have no painkillers for you, my dear guinea pig", is what he said when he was suddenly approaching me. „So hang in there, okay?"
He carried me to a big table and tied my hands and arms together.
I saw how the doctor took a scalpel and in the next moment I was confronted with great pain; forgetting the poor cat within a second; screaming from the bottom of my lungs.
My screams and a hysterical laughter was all to be heard that moment.

The next day I wasn't referred to as a guinea pig anymore. I became a cat girl. His cat girl.
Such a painful sight. Cat ears, cat eyes. He truly was a skilled doctor. A madman.
I don't know how he managed to maintain my sense of hearing as well as my eyesight. In fact it has improved even more.
I was in great pain but I'm grateful to have a little change in my life.
I even received new clothes and a proper haircut. Since my hair has never been cut it reached down to my ankles, now he cut it down to a little bit under my waist.
As for the front he cut my hair into bangs which beautifully framed my face.
My pitchblack hair stood in contrast to my bright and sparkling yellow cat eyes.
I suppose he really loves his new creature. So much that he'd actually call me by a name rather than a guinea pig.
Lucia. Lucia. Lucia. I have a name. Lucia. Lucia. I exist. Lucia. Lucia. I AM. Lucia.
I had forgotten what he told what he'd do to me after the procedure would be done, I was way too happy of having received a name.
Happiness. Happiness to fill my emptiness. Splendid. But... Till when?

The madman expected me to talk sweetly and cheerful. But how? I had never been taught how to speak. I desperately tried to fulfill his wishes but I couldn't.
I gave you such a great gift, why are you being this way?!" I just stood there; silent. „Answer me!" How could I? „This is enough. To the cage with you."
My face must have looked frightened; I certainly was. What will he do? „You're misbehaving. If you can't become this way you shall become another."
He knocked me down with his fist and grabbed my hair after saying that. Pulling me along he made his way downstairs while holding onto my hair.
It made me spit blood to be pulled like this since my face kept hitting against the steps.
As we almost reached the chamber he kicked me downstairs, shortly after I felt severe pain, maybe a bone or two broke.
On your knees!", he demanded. I obeyed, at least I can do this. „Good girl..." He reached out his foot. „Now clean my shoe." If this is what he wishes.
I reached out my hands but he kicked them away. Noticing my confused facial expression he said: „Do it with your tongue. A doctor like me should look proper, shouldn't I?"
I took a look at his shoes. They were quite dirty. While he was smirking I slowly started to lick away all the dust and dirt until I began to cough.
„My my. Concentrate Lucia.", he whispered.
I nodded as a reply. Ignoring my desire to cough; to vomit; I continued to lick everything clean. While I stared at him he checked whether there were any missed spots and nodded.
Next task." He pulled out a black collar and a leash in the same color. „You will wear this 24/7 from now on." ...Silence... He kicked my arm. „Understood?!", he shouted.
As I nodded he pushed me down onto my fours and put on the collar. After linking in the leash he pulled me along with him when walking towards the cage.
Hey! Participate, will you?!", he screamed as I had issues with keeping up. I made some unintelligible noise and he kicked my face again.
That's not the noise a cat makes, is it?" I had tried to push out a meowing sound but it came out quite crappy. Yet he smiles as a response.
In some time you will learn it, my dear cat." Some time later we reached the cage. My cage... The doctor closed the door of the cage and approached me.
Lay down.", he demanded in a firm voice.

'What will he do now?', I asked myself as I followed his demand.
