It happened so fast, Serenity didn't have time to react.
"DON'T TOUCH ME-LET ME GO!" she shouted, squirming against the grasp of the person holding her.
There were three of them; the guys she flipped off earlier.
They dragged her into the alley, ignoring her protests.
Serenity was shoved roughly onto the pavement, and she then felt someone on top of her and a knife against her throat.
"Did you like the little addition we put in your drink?" a harsh voice whispered in her ear. Then hands are holding her face, making her look at him.
"Please don't hurt me," Serenity begged, tears sliding down her cheeks.
She felt him fumbling around with her skirt, and she began to protest louder.
"STOP IT! LET GO!"
He looked down at her and stroked her hair.
"I'll be gentle-"
*WHACK*
Serenity hit him with all the strength she could muster. Despite being under the influence of the drugs they put in her drink, she suddenly felt very alert. She got to her feet and began running.
She didn't make it very far before they caught up with her.
After being tackled to the ground, they began hitting and kicking her.
Everything started to turn white with the pain.
Serenity felt weight on her again, and tried to scream. Suddenly, more pain.
Then, it was gone.
The person on her, the pain, everything. She heard shouts, cursing, and the sounds of fighting.
She could do nothing but lay on the ground and gasp for air.
As soon as she could breath again, Serenity started to sob quietly.
After a few moments, she wasn't alone. Somebody was kneeling beside her and trying to hold her.
"Please don't hurt me-"she started, but was quickly silenced.
"Shhhh; its alright, you're okay now," a gentle male voice said, hoisting her up a little more into his embrace. "I'm not going to hurt you."
Then another male voice, only this one was harsher. "Kouga, what are you doing? That's not what we came here for!" Serenity heard a growl emit from the chest she was resting against.
"I know that, you fool! But cant you see that she's hurt?" the 'Kouga' character snarled, tightening his grip on Serenity. She heard a chuckle.
"Since when did YOU start caring about some stupid human?" Suddenly Kouga released her and leapt towards the other male.
"Her being a human has nothing to do with this! We found her being attacked by our enemies, so she might as well be one of us."
Serenity wheezed out her breaths, and pulled her self up into a sitting position. She stared hard at the people with her in the alley, a total of 7. Who were they?
She examined their appearances closely. All of them were clad in what looked like fur and armor-like attire. Serenity blinked. Were those tails she saw? 6 of them had hair that was cut short, leaving Kouga the only one with long black hair, which was tied back in a ponytail. Serenity suddenly felt dizzier than before.
"But Kouga, she's a pathetic human! She couldn't defend herself against the other demons, and it's only a wonder she's still alive! Besides, what do you see in her?"
"Don't argue with me! I've been watching her for some time now, and I want her to come with us," Kouga said lowly, even though Serenity could still hear everything they were saying.
He turned and walked back to her. She cowered away from him, and his face became sympathetic.
"Don't be afraid, darling, you're alright now," he whispered, picking her up off the ground and carried her as he walked.
"I hurt," Serenity managed before beginning to cough violently.
"I know you do," Kouga said as he headed back to join the rest of the people. He gently wiped the tears from her eyes. "But you're going to be fine."
Serenity lost consciousness before they even left the alley.
~*~*~*~*~
When she woke up, Serenity found that she was in a cave and laying on what seemed like a nest made of straw. When she tried to sit up, pain struck like a thousand needles, and Serenity found herself laying back down on the straw slowly.
It was dark, but her eyes adjusted before long and she saw that she was alone in the cave.
"Hello?" she tried to call out, but her throat tightened. Serenity coughed and tried again.
This time, she said it loud enough to make it echo.
No response.
Damn.
Serenity looked down at herself, and groaned. She was missing her boots. Her clothes were torn, and blood was caked to her legs, stomach, and neck. A closer investigation revealed several lacerations from what seemed to have been a knife.
She remembered the knife and shivered.
Her wounds were not treated.
Ignoring the pain, Serenity forced herself to sit up. A dim light shone from the mouth of the cave.
"Can somebody help me?" she called out with a hoarse voice. A figure entered the cave and approached her quickly. Serenity backed away.
"Don't be a coward," the same rough voice from earlier snarled rudely. Serenity was stuck between fear and resentment.
"Where the hell am I?" she asked lowly, and the male sneered at her.
"I have no obligation to tell you."
Serenity lost all fear and glared daggers at the crude individual.
"Fine then, asshole. That means that I have no obligation to stay here," she sneered back, pulling herself to her feet. The male jumped up in front of her and growled fiercely.
"You shouldn't leave."
"And why not?"
"Because Kouga wants you to stay, and he's the only reason you're not dead already."
Serenity sighed heavily. "Well then, Ill send him a thank you card and some flowers in the mail. I want to go home."
The male cocked his head. "Card? What do you mean by that?"
Serenity rolled her eyes. "Haha. Look, this little hideout is cute, but I have to go find Sarah now." She pushed by him and made her way to the cave entrance on wobbly legs.
Several low growls emitted from the shadows around her. Serenity spun around and saw more men like she the one she just talked to. She was backed up against a wall.
"You're not going anywhere," one of them snapped, and another sniffed her neck.
"I'm really hungry, Im glad Kouga left her for us," he said, tasting a bit of her blood.
"What the fuck-get away from me!" Serenity cried, shoving him away. "I'm not going to get eaten by ANY of you, you creeps!"
They all laughed, getting closer.
Serenity was well aware of how strongly she reeked of blood; it was all over her. But why were these people talking about eating her?
Upon feeling claws on her stomach, she screamed.
"DON'T TOUCH ME-LET ME GO!" she shouted, squirming against the grasp of the person holding her.
