Chapter One: Pain



Mau walked the way home with her black hair swinging behind her and she was not a happy looking person at the moment. Her English teacher was being a hard ass on the first day and asked for a ten-page report on their lives by tomorrow. "It would help you get to know everyone better" said Mau mimicking the teachers voice sarcastically and muttered some impolite words under breath. Mau was not in a good mood you could say she was P.M.S.-ing if she was. She hated her life, her mother died giving birth to her and her father started drinking blaming her for his wife's death. There were days he'd yell at her for no reason and days were he'd just plan pretend she didn't exist. The stupid teacher was asking her to bring up painful memories that she fought hard to forget.

Scowling she turned down a dark ally-way with a Devil-May-Care-attitude as a short cut home, but half way through she regretted it. She heard a pop- can clink behind her she stopped frightened, her emerald eyes scanning the darkness as if willing the one who made the noise to come out. She mentally kicked her self for not remembering the murders and missing teenagers that has been happening in her neighborhood. Suddenly it jumped out at her!!!

Mau cover her head for protection after a minute of waiting still no blow came she lowered her arms and blinked at the sight before her. There was a small silvery-Gray and black spotted cat before her hissing in anger. Mau's eyes softened "You poor thing are you hungry?" said Mau she always had a soft spot for cats. 'She must have kittens around here and I must have gotten to close' thought Mau. The cat seemed to understand and stopped hissing so Mau leaned over to pet its soft fur.

Suddenly Mau received a blow to the back of her head sending her unconscious. A dark figure dressed in a lab coat bent over and picked up her limp body. Calling the cat's name he walked to his black van with the cat walking next to him like a well-trained dog. The man drove back to where ever he came from with his cargo but it didn't seem that who ever he was he wasn't a good driver. After hitting a few things and a few close shaves with other cars he arrived at his lab.

(A/N: *ksha2222 sweat-drops* what?)

He laid her on a cold steel table and bonded all her limbs to the four corners. There were cages lined along the wall some empty some full and there were tables with books, tubes, and weird looking tools on them. He walked over to a cage with another cat and pulled it out. Looking at it you could see it was the same breed as the one that tricked Mau but with slightly different markings. It was very docile when it had its legs hog- tied together. After slipping on some protective gloves he pulled out a long needle the kind to take blood. He slowly pushed the needle in the cat's neck and started taking the poor animals blood.

Suddenly that cat wasn't so defenseless any more its eyes glowed a bright red as its claws and lengthened. Struggling to keep the cat down as it attacked was a real chore for a small thing it posses the strength of five men/women and it was only a cat. After he got what he wanted the cat's eyes drifted closed tired from the blood loss. The walked over to the table Mau was on and flicked on the bright lights above it. For the first time you could get a good look at his face. He wasn't a bloodthirsty killer that enjoyed his work; he was a sad and worn looking man who looked like he wished to be anywhere but here. The worn man held Mau's arm as he put the needle to her blood vein but hesitated. He stood there with his hand shaking right above her arm until the door slammed open causing him to jump and turn in alarm.

"Boss.I-I.What are you doing here" The man stuttered.

"I'm watching this one I don't believe that all your tests have failed Professor. Thomson" said the Boss. The old man gulped and looked nervous

"Well y-you see I." started Professor. Thomson was cut off with the boss's angry shout.

"I DON'T CARE FOR YOUR EXCUSES JUST DO IT!!!!!!!" yelled the angry man. The old man turned back to his work praying his secret adjustment on the serum would work and Mau wouldn't have be a slave for the man breathing down his neck. Finishing the injection they waited for the blood to circle late through her. Mau Started to scream in pain unconsciously as if she was on fire with no escape. She thrashed around on the table straining against her binds that held her there. The Boss frowned when she stopped breathing and didn't take another breath after five minutes. "Get rid of the body and write your report," said the Boss walking away. Professor. Thomson picked up Mau's limp body and loaded her into the Black van to drop her off where he found her. His cat still trailing behind as he places her on the cold cement in the most comfortable position he could put her in on the filthy ground.

"Good Luck" he whispered to Mau's un-moving body as he left. He had to go back or *HE* would hunt him done and kill him if he didn't. Learned a hard lesson about running away from him it cost him he's granddaughter's life. Professor Thomson left wishing luck to others that were free to live life as he drove away (Rather Badly). Mau lay there un-moving suddenly she started gasping for air and coughing. But it all soon turned to screams of pain each one more horrible then the last as she started changing. Every bit of her was on fire to be forced into an un-natural change. Slowly her hair turned sliver, little black cat ears took the place of her human ones, fangs grew in her screaming mouth, and, her new claws dug deeply into the cement as her black tail whipped around looking for escape from the pain. Her eyes opened revealing their new silver color but they held a glazed over look like they weren't actually seeing anything through the pain. With one last shuddering scream she went quite and was left starring at the darkening sky with un-seeing eyes.

Now To The Hero:

Peter was sitting in the apartment that he shared with his best friend Harry reading the newspaper looking for anything that Spider-Man should handle. Peter frowned at the page that had the latest murders and disappearances across town that started two weeks ago. So far he could find nothing on it even thou he worked in a News Paper company he couldn't find any rumors everything was hush-hush. He did know one thing it all started when a doctor disappeared and his granddaughter was murdered. People called him Professor Thomson he was a genius in Human and Animal genetics all the labs across the country wanted him on their research team. But he chose to help people instead of science and became a Doctor. Peter shook his head clear and sighed getting up and slipping on his custom he left to go patrol for a while.

Spider-Man swung by his webbing and landed on a building to rest after stopping a few muggings and Robberies. Same-Old Same-Old. Then Spider-Man heard something he strained to her it.it sounded like some one screaming in pain. "Here we go!" said Spider-Man as he shoot his webbing out catching a building. He swung into the dark alley just as the screaming stopped to see a woman who looked like she was wearing a Halloween costume. Spider-Man walked up to her and kneeled besides her sensing nothing wrong.

On closer inspection she was wearing a pair of blue baggy jeans and a black T-Shirt with a Gray heart in the center. Spider-Man looked at her glazed over eyes to her twitching ears and did a double take. "Are those real?" he said as he reached up and gave them a light tug. His eyes widened behind his mask when they didn't come off. Suddenly his Spider-Sense went off and he jumped away just in time as Mau lashed out. She jumped up and did a flip landing on all fours in a crouch; back arched, and, bristled tail at alert. Her eyes still holding no life with a glazed look as she growled like a cat. Spider-Man took a defensive position but lowered it when he saw emotion slowly creep into her face. Mau gasped and fell back onto her tailbone as she realized where she was.

"S-Spider-Man?" said Mau looking around in confusion and in panic. "W-What happened? What's wrong with me?" panic slowly crept into her voice as she looked at her clawed hands. She looked up at Spider-Man with un-shed tears in her confused eyes. "Why-Why can I hear your heart beat from here?" said Mau quietly just before she fainted from shock hitting the cold ground for the seconded time that day. What could he say he was shocked it was a lot to take in so fast. He knew one thing he couldn't leave her here in the ally. So he picked her up bride style then he shot out webbing with his partly free hand to take her back to his sanctuary.
