Another needle.
Another scream.
Another silent, desperate plea for escape.
Yet same as always, there was no answer. Unless you count her own screams of course.
A low grown escaped the girls throat as she slowly came to. The only thing that greeted her eyes as they slowly opned was the usual grey stone walls, old and rusted, yet annoyingly strong, bars that separated one from their freedom, and the growls and monas from others prisoners trapped within this hell hole.
'god damn it, why can't he just kill me off already. I've been here for who knows how many years already, doesn't he get bored of experimenting on the same person over and over?'
The person in question was Orochimaru. The stupid, snake eyed bastard that apparently got off experimenting on people. 'honestly, he looks like the human embodiment of death itself with his creepy eyes and pale ass skin. If that man can even be counted as human anymore'.
And who's thoughts are we hearing you may ask? Why, none other than one of Orochimaru's favourite test subjects. She had long since forgotten her name, now only known as a mere number. 21. Most other subjects managed to keep their names as they often didn't last very long. 21 on the other hand, Orochimaru had taken 'special care' to keep her alive, and it was very evident by the way she looked and how mutated her body had become over time. 'geese, I'm judging Orochimaru for looking inhuman, just look at me. What with the wings and all'?
Yep, you heard her right. Wings. Adorning her back, 21 had 2 beautifully large, white wings. Just to make things weirder, she also had a tail, and ears… animal ears. They kinda looked like a cats? They were large, white and fluffy. let's just say Orochimaru gat a bit carried away while trying to create 'the ultimate solder'. Now she looked more like a monster than a solder. She could still remember the day she survived the first mutation. How happy Orochimaru had been to finally have a subject survive, and how careful he's been since then to keep her alive.
'if you can call constantly experimenting and mutating my body 'being careful' she thought. In the years she'd been stuck here, she'd gone from a normal human child, to a monster.
21's head suddenly snapped up to attention when she heard a door open, then slam shut. It was hard to hear over the voices of the hundreds of other prisoners, but thanks to her advanced hearing, it sounded like it happened right in front of her cell. Slightly afraid it would be Kabuto coming to collect her for another round of experimenting, 21's wings arched up as she backed up as far away as possible from the bars leading into the cell. Large, silky tail wrapping around her legs, and ears pressed as flatly to her skull as they were physically able.
'god damn it, I look like a frightened cat'
Turning her head back to the cell bars, her ears slightly twitched at the sound of footsteps making their way down the hallway. As they got closer, her teeth became more bared, and eyes slitted into those of a cats, ready to pounce on their prey. All in all, she truly looked terrifying. And yet, as Kabuto and Orochimaru finally appeared within her view, neither even batted an eye at her appearance.
"Well, well, well, someone's awfully feisty today. Hm, Kabuto?" Orochimaru smirked, eyes narrowing as 21 then glancing to his left where Kabuto stood, also unfazed by the situation.
"Indeed, she must be in a particularly bad mood after todays tests" as he spoke, he adjusted his glasses. A shine causing 21 to not be able to see his eyes for a moment.
'something wrong' she thought, looking between the two. 'they never come to collect me together'
A small chuckle leaving Orochimaru's lips cause 21 to quickly re-gain her focus, staring directly into the snake man's eyes. Not wanting to show how truly terrified she was.
"Well, I suppose you're curious as to why we've both come all the way down here to see you". 21 refused to answer him, instead opting to simply continue staring at the man.
"We've come to say goodbye" Kabuto filled in after Orochimaru had finished. She was shocked to say the least. Goodbye? What on earth are they talking about? Are they finally going to kill me? Wouldn't that be nice'. The surprise clearly showed through onto her face as the 2 men started to chuckle to themselves." Don't look so surprised child, we wouldn't have come all the way down here if we didn't plan on having some… well, how should I put it?" the grey-haired man glanced over at his snake like companion.
"Where going to have a little fun" Orochimaru's arm suddenly reached up towards the bars of her cell, she tensed up, readying herself for an attack, but was still too slow as the mans hand turned into a snake, reached out and immediately wrapped around the gurls throat. Slamming her into the wall directly behind her. "Well, fun for us at least". They much have opened the door before striking, as both men walked right in after ensuring 21 was properly held down.
As the snake curled tighter and tighter around her neck, she began gasping for breath. As her vision went fuzzy, she could barely see the 2 men begin to approach her, their shadows eventually swallowing her whole.
Her screams echoed throughout the hideout that night. Haunting everyone who heard them.
