Ashling

Chapter 1- Nightmares

Her eyes took in the area she had managed to escape to. She had figured out who they were before they attacked. Ash clutches her side and lets out a scoff as she feels her skin knitting back together, thank the gods for her rapid healing, the blood stopped moments ago and she had held part of her jacket against the bullet wound on her side, she leaned against the cool brick wall her mind going to where they had found out where she was at. It had been several months before she was found again. The bastards that had done this experimenting on her had been searching for her she knew for more experiments or even that species breeding she had overheard the soldiers talking about while they ate.

Ripping the apron off her body she grabbed her tips and then tossed the apron in the nearest garbage can. She stuffed the cash into her back pocket and grabbed her keys as she hit the alarm on the new rental car she got in and grabbed the burner phone, sending a message to Bryan letting him know she would be at his place later for her last check. She had told him everything, he had helped her settle here only two months ago. She grabbed her hair and pulled it into a hair tie before she started the Camry and headed to her safe house, the place she had managed to rent for cases like this, if she had ever been found out. No one knew, she had paid cash and had kept it all under the radar.

She parked her car, and headed inside, ditching the keys to the rental she headed inside and turned the lights on, activating the security cameras as she sat down on the run-down couch, the green upholstery was her favorite for some reason and she liked it. She grabbed her backpack and pulled a new pair of clothes, stripping and burning her waitress outfit, she switched to a pair of jeans and a tank top and her favorite pair of converse.She sighs, pulls her hair into a less messy hair tie, and looks around, grabbing her things, the laptops she had purchased, and shoving them into her bags, Laying her burner phone on the table she closed her eyes. When would this stop? When would she be safe, when could she contact her family? She shook her head at the last question and scoffed. Her family had buried an empty casket. She had been declared dead nearly two years ago. And now? She was alone in the world. No one was safe, no one would protect her but herself.

Ash opened her eyes, as she looked around she realized she was no longer in the safety of her Safe House. No, she was.. this wasn't right, she couldn't be here she was dreaming, had to be. A scream tears through the night as she jumps up in the cage and bites back a scream as she manages to smack her head on the top of the bars. She closes her eyes and frowns, she rubs her head and watches as the guards drag Madison back into the room, unconscious. Ash shakes her head as she crawls backward in the cage, her legs getting scrapped as her skin gets caught on the bottom of the cage, she watches as they dump Madison into the cage next to hers locking it before they go to the door of her cage. It unlocks and a hand curls around her ankle as she's pulled out of the cage, the guard grabs his taser as she kicks out and knocks it away from him, her chance comes as she gets up and stumbles to the steel door leading to the rest of the warehouse.

Her hands, covered in bruises and dried blood scramble as she tries to open the door. She feels the hand covering her mouth the same moment the door is unlatched. She screams as the taser is shoved into her back, her body spasms as she falls unconscious to the floor.
Her eyes fly open as she feels the cold steel of the exam table as she struggles, her body not moving because she's strapped down, her legs, chained to the table another strap of leather across her midsection, steel chains locked on her arms. Fear filled her, her eyes scanning the darkroom as she hears the footsteps of the doctor, the one who injected her with whatever they had, she struggled even more as she screamed against the strap that held her mouth closed. She shook her head, wanting to plead, wanting to escape needed to. Her life depended on it.
The door opens and fear consumes her as her struggles continue, she hears the laugh that sends cold chills through her, she shakes her head. He was never here, he was only ever called if. Oh gods above, she thought. Her life would end tonight.

"I like watching you struggle." The voice laughed again before stepping into the lights of the room.

Her breath caught as he raised the syringe filled with blood, her body shivered as she watched him wide-eyed, she knew she should beg, but what was she living for? Her family had stopped looking for her, from what the guards were discussing two nights ago. She should fight, the fight was still inside of her, she whimpered as the doctor moved closer to her, she tried to move away, but because of the straps, everything stilled. Her scream left her lips as the syringe was injected into her arm.

The burning sensation filled her entire senses. She cried out against the strap that covered her mouth. She looked at the doctor and felt rage and hatred. She felt her body convulsing as she growled. Wait? Ash glared at the doctor and felt a renewed strength fill her as she pulled her ankles out of the cuffs and yanked her hands-free from the table. She growled, and screamed as pain filled her entire body, she felt fur covering her body as she lunged at the doctor. Her mind was on the taste of the blood from the doctor.

Jolting off the couch, she gagged and stumbled to the bathroom, yanking the toilet seat up she emptied her stomach of everything she had eaten as the memories bubbled up. The rage, the strength. The beast. She could taste the copper of his blood as she ripped his throat out. She leaned against the cool porcelain as she sighed. She could feel it now, the beast. Inside of her. She shook her head and frowned as she got up and splashed her face with cool water. As she sighed once again, and headed out, grabbing her bag she decides it was time to leave. Here's to running and saving her own ass.
