Note: Thundhar Khat isn't mine, it's a friends HellBoy character. Since she had written a fic with May in it, I thought it was only fair to write one with hef character in it. TK will now be a really minor character in my stories, sometimes not showing up at all. Also, this fic is shorter then my others because it's just the begining of the main plot.
HellGirl – Abduction
---
May let out a loud yawn and stretched her arms to the sky. Her raven locks were tangled and some were pasted to her face from sleeping on the strands. Scratching her head, she coughed and reached for the drawer on the table next to her bed. Opening it, she took out a white ventilation mask and put it on over her nose and mouth before getting up and combing her hair. She had gotten the flu not too long ago and was forced to were the mask to keep the germs at bay. That and was on tight security to make sure she didn't sneak out. Coughing, she opened the steel door to her room and looked out. Agents walked by and went on with their everyday lives.
After snatching some clothes she headed out towards the bathroom. As she neared the door and began to open the door someone grabbed her shoulder to stop her. May looked back to see her father. "May, you really shouldn't be out walking around while your sick." The demon glared up at the large demon with weak and heavy eyes.
"Just because I'm sick doesn't mean I have to smell." May brushed her father's hand off of her shoulder and opened up the door to the bathroom. The mask worn over her face as she spoke muffled her voice. "I won't turn the water on that hot so I don't faint, okay?" She then disappeared inside the bathroom, leaving her father to sigh and make his way back to his own room.
May coughed and looked into the mirror of the bathroom. Her hair was a mess despite the fact she combed it, her eyes were too heavy to hold open the whole way and bags were under each eye. Coughing again she took off her mask and clothes before getting into the shower.
How come I'm the one to always get sick? I got sick after we got back from the catacombs, I get sick almost every Christmas. The teen looked up at the showerhead, letting the drops of water splash onto her face. She was going to go see Yasashiku tonight despite the fact she was sick. May hadn't told him that she was ill and didn't plan to or he would make her stay home like everyone else.
As she stepped from the shower and got dressed, the small demon kept thinking about the trip she was going to take tonight and hoped she wouldn't faint on her way there or back. After putting on a new ventilation mask and combing her hair, May headed back to her room to sleep and rest until it got dark enough for her to sneak out.
Just as the red teen collapsed onto her bed someone knocked on her door. May grumbled, not bothering to move. "Come iiin." Hadly opened the door and walked in before setting a tray up next to her bed.
"Are you feeling any better?" The demon looked up to the tray. Ginger ale and chicken noodle soup. May forced herself up to a sitting position.
"Not really" The teen brought her hand to her mouth as she coughed and removed the mask. Scooting closer to the tray with her food on it, she picked up the spoon and started to sip on the nice, hot chicken broth inside the bowl.
"I have some medicine for you, too." Hadly reached down and grabbed a bottle filled with pills. Opening it and dumping one out on his palm, he handed it to May.
"Ugh" The red demon took the pill and popped it into her mouth before drinking some of the ginger ale to help it down. "Will it get me better faster?"
"Hopefully." Hadly capped the pill bottle and patted May's shoulder. "Take care, eat all your soup and get as much rest as you can. I'll be back later to pick up the dishes."
"Okay." After her caretaker had left, the small teen finished her soup and ginger ale before falling back asleep on her bed. The more rest she got before she snuck out, the better.

May coughed while once more while she pulled on her boots and buckled them. Despite the heat she was bundled up from head to toe. She wasn't going to jump buildings tonight and would just stick to the back allies since she didn't have the strength to really spend that much energy. The demon peeked out her door to make sure no agents were passing and looked up to the vent she used as an escape route that had had a lock put on it. May smirked. "You guys are going to have to do better then that." Coughing, she jumped up and hung from the vent as she twisted the lock until it snapped off. She then dropped down and went back into her room to hide the lock and sit down on her bed to catch her breath. Just doing that whipped her out like she had run a marathon. After getting her energy back, May walked out of her room and leaped onto the vent before taking it off and hauling herself up into it.
Once she was out of the vent, the teen flopped over next to the outside vent to catch her breath. Standing, May started walking through the back allies in order to get to Yasashiku's house. The small demon thought back to the last visit she had had with him and the conversation they had
"You really shouldn't steal things." May looked over to the young thief who was leaning back on a chair with his feet propped up on the edge of the building next to her with his hand behind his head. Yasashiku chuckled and looked over to her.
"That's like telling you not to fight paranormal beings. One, it's in your blood and two, it's your passion." The magician then let the chair's front feet fall to the ground and he stood, putting his hands in the pockets of his jeans.
May rolled her eyes, giving up on trying to convince him otherwise. "I guess your right"
The demon raised her hand to her mouth as she coughed, pausing for a minute to regain her composure. I'm getting worse... Maybe I should've called it off. May started to walking again only to be stopped abruptly. "Hey!" Someone snatched onto her arm from the shadows and another grabbed onto her left arm. "Get off me!" Before she could try and get away another person from behind reached out and put a cloth over her mouth. Chloroform! May tried to get away but she was too weak from her illness and faint from the chloroform and started to black out. Her multicoloured eyes dropped and the teen fell to the ground.
"Good job, Boss will be very happy" The three people gathered her up and vanished into the darkness of the ally. Little did they know they were being watched
---
Uhhh... Where am I? May's eyes opened slowly as she came to. Looks like an old building of some kind. She then tried to stand but was quickly brought back down. "Huh?!" The demon looked down at her hands and feet. Her hands were chained together and hooked to the seat she was sitting on and her feet were chained to the floor. Easy, I'll just break them. May pulled with all her might but failed miserably and went into a coughing fit.
"You can't break those locks. They have inscriptions on them to keep you sealed." A dark voice spoke out from the doorway into the room but only a tall figure was outlined in the shadows.
"Who are you!? What do you want with me?!" May's voice cracked as she yelled and went into another coughing fit.
"Like your father, you're the key to unleash something wonderful." She could tell whoever was speaking was male, but couldn't tell any of his facial features.
"What're you talking about?" May glared at the figure and pulled at her chains.
"I suppose your dear old father didn't tell you he almost destroyed the world. Or that he's the key to this world's death? Pity."
"Shut up! My father would never do a thing like that!" May started to yank at her chains once more as the figure waved his hand forward. Four more figures appeared behind him and walked into the room. One was holding a baseball bat and grinning wickedly as they all advanced on her.
"Do what you wish. Just make sure she doesn't talk." The figure in the doorway walked off, leaving May with the four men. The small demon pressed herself against the wall to try and get as far away from the men as possible.
"S-Stay back!" Tears started to well in her eyes as she let out a loud, ear-piercing scream.

Yasashiku paced his rooftop uneasily and looked at his watch. She should have been here over an hour ago... Something's wrong. The magician looked around the streets below before vaulting over the side of the building and landing in a crouch in the ally beside it. Standing and brushing off his pants he began to run towards the B.P.R.D. He was thankfully he was a werewolf which abled him to do things like leap off a building and run faster then most humans.
Once he had gotten to the B.P.R.D, he stopped and pressed the button on the intercom. "What do you want?"
"It's Yasashiku." The fake intercom flipped over and the eye identifier flipped out, flashing in the werewolf's eye before closing. The gate opened and Yasashiku ran into the building. As the platform he stood on moved down, the thief looked around until it stopped before running off in the direction of May's room. Yasashiku slid to a stop and knocked on her door.
"May? May are you in there?" The door opened slowly as he knocked again and peeked in. She's not here. The magician picked up the broken lock on her bed and looked at it before turning towards the door. May's scent is all over this room. For a moment he merely inhaled her scent, relaxing with every breath. I guess I better ask Pops. Yasashiku ran from May's room the HellBoy's and knocked on the large steel door.
"Hey! Pops!" Ever since the last mission he had grown comfortable around the large demon and had even given him a nickname to HellBoy's dismay. After a few minutes the door opened and a rather grumpy demon stood in front of him.
"What do you want? Do you know it's" HellBoy looked at the clock on his wall. "Three AM?"
"Of course, but May was going to meet me tonight and she never showed up and she's not here. I think something might've happened to her." The demon's eyes shot open.
"Meet you?! Didn't she tell you she's sick?!" Yasashiku blinked.
"Well... No, is she okay?"
"I highly doubt it. Go find Hadly, May's caretaker and tell him to get a few agents so we can go look for her." Yasashiku nodded and darted off as HellBoy disappeared back in his room and get ready.

Blood trickled from the corner of May's mouth, as she lay limp on the bench she was chained to. The men had beaten her to a pulp for fun before leaving her in the room alone. A gash was across her forehead, one of her eyes was blackened, some of her clothes were ripped and multiple bruises and cuts coated her body. The small demon opened one of her eyes, blood trickling over it as she tried to stay conscious. Why... Why are they doing this? May coughed and slumped against the wall behind her.
One of the windows in front of her slid open silently as a lithe figure slipped inside, closing the window behind her. Slowly it walked over to May and crouched in front of her. A clawed hand reached up and grabbed her shoulder, shaking the demon conscious. "Hey... Hey" May groggily opened her eyes and tried to focus on the figure in front of her.
"Who're you?" May coughed and fell forward. The strange being caught her and rested her back against the wall behind her.
"Your HellGirl, right? I'm here to help." The demon focused and sat up straight. It was a... girl. A strange girl about her age that had cat like features like her ears, claws, and a long tail that matched her yellow hair and had strange black markings on them.
"Who are you? Where are we?"
"My names Thundher Khat. Your still in New York so don't worry. But I can't break your chains so tell me where I can get help." May coughed, extremely glad that whoever this girl was that she was a friend.
"The Waste Management center. Go there and sneak in through the back vent. Then tell the first person you find that you know where I am." She paused to cough before swallowing and speaking again. "They should believe you. Hurry... I dunno what these guys want with me." Thundher Khat nodded and dashed out of the room from the window she came from.
Who is that girl? And how did she know where I was? May coughed and leaned back on the wall. Thundher Khat, as of now you're my only hope...

"Alright, ready?" HellBoy looked back at Yasashiku and the group of agents behind him. The group nodded as the large demon turned back around and pointed forward. "We'll split up into two teams. Wolf and I will cover the rooftops, the rest of you cover the allies between here and Yasashiku's apartment. Link up and head out." Everyone clicked on their locators and split up throughout the allies of New York.
Yasashiku followed HellBoy up the side of the building next to the Bureau and stopped to look around. "I'll take the left." The large demon nodded and headed to the right as the thief ran towards the building on the left, changing into his werewolf form as he approached the edge of the building, taking off his shirt and threw it to the side. As he jumped and landed on the building across the street he was completely transformed. Yasashiku got down on all fours and sniffed at the buildings roof.
Nothing... She didn't come this way. The werewolf stood and pressed the microphone in his ear. "Pops, she didn't go to the left. I'm coming your way."
"Gotcha, hurry up over here." HellBoy stopped and looked around to wait for Yasashiku.
The teen backed up and leapt across the building he had came from before turning and leaping over to the building HellBoy had been on. The werewolf continued this until he was only a few buildings away. Panting he stopped and started to leap across the next building but came short. "Ahh, CRAP!" Yasashiku missed the edge by inches and fell to the ground with a loud crash, knocking over trashcans as he landed. "Auuugh"
"YA!" Yasashiku jumped up into a crouch and looked at the form in the ally with him. Her scent was odd... Mixed with a human girl and some feral cat. As the girl began to run past him, he leapt up and snatched her arm.
"Wait!" He could pick up the scent of May's blood even though it was very faint on the girl. "You know where HellGirl is!" The girl immediately stopped struggling and looked up at the large werewolf.
"Y-Yes... How did you know?" Yasashiku just grinned and pointed to his long nose.
"I'm one of her friends, do you know where she is?" The large werewolf formed back to his human form and let go of the strange girl's arm.
"Yeah. She told me to go to the Waste Management center and get help since neither of us could break her locks."
"LOCKS?!" Yasashiku's eyes widened. May was in danger and could be seriously hurt. They needed to get help to her fast. Panicking, he pressed the microphone in her ear. "Pops, I know where May is. I just found someone who can help us. We need to hurry, according to the source she's chained up and I can smell a little bit of her blood." After getting a reply from HellBoy he looked to the girl. "What's your name?"
"Thundher Khat."
"Name Yasashiku, you can call me Wolf. Come with me, we have to go get May." The wolf grabbed TK's arm before dragging her off in the direction of the B.P.R.D.

May slumped limply on the bench she was chained to, eyes closed. She was extremely weak with both her sickness and the loss of blood from the wounds inflicted upon her the day before. The demon breathed heavily to try and catch her breath, not bothering to open her eyes as footsteps sounded closer and closer until they stopped in front of her.
"Soon your life will be ours and my species will reign supreme." The same cruel voice as before chuckled as May opened one of her eyes to try and focus on the figure in front of her. Just as before, all she could make out was the outline of a tall, shadowy figure standing in front of her. The small demon coughed, trying to find her voice.
"What... What are you going to do? Who are you?" A cruel smile played across the figures face.
"But if I told you now and that cat girl managed to get to your father in time and they rescued you, you'd know everything and would destroy my plans." May gasped and looked to the ground. They knew about Thundher Khat's visit. What if they had somehow managed to stop her from getting to her father? The demon closed her eye tightly, wanting to just wake up from this nightmare. A cold hand slid under her chin and raised her face to look directly at him. For some odd reason, fear shot through every part of her body and she started to shake uncontrollably.
"It seems the little kitten has saved you this time. But I'll be back for you my little key." Something wet and cold made contact with her face. It felt like a snake slithering across her cheek, ready to sink its large fangs into her throat if she made any sudden movements. May tried to lean away but failed and the slippery wet object ran across her face until it stopped.
"Lets go. We can do nothing more here." The figure stood and in a split second, him and the rest of the beings she had sensed in the room was gone. May was left alone in the old room, shivering, weak, and afraid.
---
"In there!" Thundher Khat pointed up at a window in the old abandoned factory as the large garbage truck came to a stop. It had taken them a full day to find the old building even with TK's help. The sun was just about to set over the tall buildings surrounding the old building as the group headed in.
HellBoy was the first to run into the room. "MAY!" He quickly bent down behind her and started to snap the chains holding her. The second the small demon was free; she leapt at the closest person to her, Yasashiku. Wrapping her arms around him, she began to bawl her eyes out into his shirt, soaking it with her tears. For a moment the werewolf merely stood in shock before wrapping his arms around her and rocking her back and forth gently.
"It's okay, May... Were all here for you." After May had calmed down, Yasashiku leaned her back into HellBoy's arms, who lifted her up like a small child and carried her out of the building.
---
It took me about two weeks to fully recover from both my injuries and my illness. I really have Thundher Khat to thank for being alive. If she hadn't found me then the people who had kept me captive would have moved me to a new spot and probably would've killed me. I still have no idea who those people were and hopefully I never will know. But I have a feeling that's not the last time I'm going to see them.
May looked down at the object in her hand as she walked down the hallway towards the rooms where HellBoy and her room was located. Turning, she knocked on a steel door and waited for the owner of the room to answer. The door opened slowly and Thundher Khat looked down at her.
"May? What's up?" Without a word, the small demon grabbed hold of one of TK's clawed hands and placed the object she had been carrying in her palm before letting her arms drop to her sides. The cat girl looked down at what she had been given and gasped. A yellow locator. May smirked and looked up at her new friend.
"Welcome to the team, TK."
