Chapter 5

Written by: Murdock & RazorsLove

_________

Aliee and Cody stalked out of the haul of the aircraft after Dark Kat had walked out first with his detonator in his paws.

Both beasts stayed close together like they were ordered to do, most of the staff thought it was a bad idea to let the both of them roams around the compound unmonitored.

Dark Kat huffed the opinions off, they were both under his control and he wasn't about to let his puny staff members order him about.

Cody and Aliee stood straight up, she was nearly as tall as he was but she was still smaller than he was in the muscle department.

Her arms had thick muscle but his were thicker and strained against his skin, his legs were thicker than hers were.

The black wolf shook her head to shake the dust from her black fur; she sneezed loudly and passed the large male at her side.

His scent was oddly familiar to her, but she just shrugged it off and kept moving.

Aliee padded her way into the cell that they had to stay in, her body shook as it tried to heal itself.

She ripped the blankets off one of the cots with her teeth, and put it in the corner of the small cell.

Aliee nudged the fabric with her nose as she lay down in the corner; the blanket wrapped itself around her body.

Her tail curled around her and pulled the blanket closer, she huffed loudly as her body continued to heal itself.

Cody sat at the cell door with his arms crossed over muscular chest; he stared off into the distance.

She closed her eyes to get some sleep; she hadn't slept in a week.

-

Cody watched the female out of the corner of his eye, she was trembling he watched as the bullet wounds on her body disappeared quickly and the black fur grow back in.

He huffed softly, and looked out into the hall.

Cody licked the inside of his large saber fangs that protruded out of his mouth, his stomach rumbled loudly.

He was hungry and she probably was as well, he'd have to wait to get food until she was done healing.

Cody listened to her breathing it was soft and steady, she had fallen asleep in the corner of the room.

He huffed again as his stomach rumbled louder; he gnawed on his bottom lip.

Cody felt his stomach tighten hard and knotted as his hunger pangs grew.

He stood up off the floor and went over to the corner; he nudged the sleeping female with his large clawed foot.

She snorted softly and turned her head towards him, her green eyes were sunken in with exhaustion.

His ears flattened slightly, he then sat down beside her as she lowered her head again on her paws and fell back to sleep.

"I wonder what makes her so special, that male recognized her and approached." Cody said to himself.

Cody's ears perked up at his own voice inside his head.

He could talk.

Cody grinned to himself, his body slide across the wall as he lay on the crusty old floor of the cell.

He yawned loudly; the yawn came out more like a soft roar.

Cody closed his eyes; it would be good to get some sleep after the week of staying awake all night listening to the female scream in her forced transformation.

As he sighed softly his breath made the dust scatter across the floor, it made him sneeze softly.

The dust and debris from early still coated his fur; he wasn't going to shake it just yet.

-Salvage yard-

Murdock sat in the Hanger with his helmet in his paws; he trembled as he sat on the workbench.

T-bone, Razor and himself had talked about this situation, it almost seemed impossible that they would be able to get Aliee back.

His fingers ran across the smooth glossy surface of the helmet, the red triangle in the middle of the visor glinted in the soft light of the hanger.

Murdock sighed once again, he stood up and went over to Aliee's locker and put his helmet next to hers, his flight suit hung next to hers.

He closed the locker door and padded his way over to the ladder, the words of their conversation ran through his mind.

-

"It might be impossible to bring Aliee back." The brown tom had said.

"She's now Dark Kats corrupted solider." T-bone had said as well.

Murdock refused to believe them both, nothing was impossible he was going to get his mate back not matter what it took.

"That collar might not be the only thing keeping her under his control." Razor had continued.

He had merely looked at the short, cinnamon colored tom; his ears flattened against his head.

Murdock reached out to the first metal bar of the ladder and stepped onto the next, his mind still churning wildly.

His wolf was restless and angry, just as much as he was.

He knew if he had transformed in front of everybody, Dark Kat would have automatically ordered them both to attack him.

Murdock climbed up the ladder slowly, his paws sticking to the cold metal.

He still had his thick winter coat; it made him seem like a giant white and brown fuzz ball.

Murdock climbed through the open hatch, thunder cracked loudly outside the garage.

The soft pitter-patter of the rain hitting the roof was somewhat soothing, but nothing could replace the touch of his mate.

Murdock made his way into the living room, passing by the two toms that watched him quietly.

He walked up the stairs to his room silently in the dark; lightning flashed though the hall window lighting up the hall.

The light made his hazel eyes glint brightly as he pushed his bedroom door open; and walked in.

The bedroom was silent, dark; the rain hit the window gently. He stared into the darkness as another flash of light brightened the room, Murdock stripped his cloths.

He walked over to the bed and pulled the blue comfiture back and got in, he lay there a few long seconds before he closed his eyes to fall asleep.

The loud pitter-patter of rain filled the room quietly, and the soft rustle of the sheets as well.

~Nightmare~

Heavy breathing, darkness and the loud growl of a predator filled the darkness.

The heavy sound of running feet were loud, the brown and white husky ran out of the darkness and into the light.

The low growls came from all around him, the floor cracked around his feet as the heavy, foot steps approached him.

Murdock labored breathing continued as he backed way from the area of darkness he had just come from.

Out of the darkness, came the large, black monster that was his mate.

She stepped closer to him; blood stained her white teeth and tongue.

The mixture of blood and saliva dripped from her muzzle.

Suddenly she charged him, ramming him into the ground and pinning him to the ground as she lifted her head and roared loudly.

FIGHT!

The one word filled his head in that one moment of surprise.

FIGHT!

"Kill him my pet." A dark voice filled the quiet space.

With that last coming of the word and the sudden words that came from a different kat, Aliee's head ducked and bit his throat.

~End of Nightmare~

Murdock sat up quickly, sweating and breathing heavily.

He shuddered heavily, warm fluid filled his palm instantly; Murdock looked to his palms, his nails dug into his skin.

Blood trickled out of the puncture wounds in his palms, he uncurled his figures and watched his palm heal quickly.

"Fight." He said in a soft whisper.

Murdock sat in the large bed the rest of the night, his head in his paws going over his nightmare.
