Ruthless

Clacking with a sharp hiss of air  as the doors slowly opened, a putrid smell invaded my nose.  "Ugh!", not being able to hide my disgust I held my nose. "Does it always smell this bad in here", I looked to the others as they too were disgusted by the smell.
Tiger Claw covered his sensitive nose with a grimace, "BAXTER!". He roared into the room, a surprised yelp and clutter falling to the floor echoed inside. "Y-yess, I'm here!", a goofy looking fly mutant appeared.
I squinted my eyes at the creature as Tiger claw and the fly man argued, leaning over to xever the fish man I whispered, "when you said he was the stuff of nightmares.... I thought he was scary, not .. disturbing to look at..". Xever was amused and laughed,"I would say he's as harmless as a fly but". He laughed more at his own joke, I rolled my eyes.

Tiger claw beckoned me with a glance, "this is (y/n), daughter of the Donna and our responsibility as of today, I need you to give her one before we start her training tomorrow". Intrigued he examined me with his eyes, "right, master did mention you. S-she might be around the same level as karai if not better, build is firm but lean. Are you a hard hitter or more of a tactical fighter who specialized in long distance?".

Bradford the giant dog yells at the fly to shut up and get to work, flinching he flew away and came over with a tape measure. "N-now stay s-still", as he came near me, I felt the urge to back away, but a firm solid figure was behind me keeping me from taking a step back. "I know he's ugly but bare it", Bradford said with a grin. The fly man swiftly measured my neck and flew away throwing scraps of metal trying to find an object, 'don't tell me he's ganna put a bell on me like a cat?'. As the thought crossed my mind a cheer came from the fly, "Haha! Found it, it should still be in good condition".

A collar was in his hand, it was metallic with leather on the inside. There was empty shattered viles, "you're going to make me wear ... that?". I said pointing out its poor state, "w-well after fixing it up and removing the broken c-components it will be all yours". "No thanks I'll pass", a paw landed on my head. " it's this or an implant straight in your skull", his claws came out from his paws, soft but firm on my head.

A cold chill down my spine as he started to apply pressure, "... got it", I said quickly. He retracted his claws and walked to the fly, "make it smaller, we only made yours bulky on purpose". The tiger said with a slight smirk as Bradford chuckled, " it was my idea to add the exploding Viles on the outside. I wanted to see you panic". As they poked and laughed at the fly man, I was ready to straight up leave on my own and just wait outside.

As I glance at the door and back at the huge monster men acting like children, Tiger Claw  walked past me and made his way to the door I didn't even notice him leave the group , " we are done here". Quickly following behind he lead me to a huge empty room and I instantly felt uneasy, 'wait ... I followed him but we're alone'. I glance behind me but the door was closed and guarded by foot clan members.

Tiger claws voice echoed in the room, " ... try not to disappoint me". The lights in the room turned off one by one leaving just a light on the center of the room in the shape of a square, 'w-where did he go...'. I was the only thing left in the light, the giant tiger was lurking in the dark and I suddenly felt like pray being hunted. My fear set in, and I was in fight or flight mode, 'stay calm ... breathe ... he's huge so I'll be able to-'. A shift in the air and a feeling of malice was behind me, turning quickly I barely managed to dodge his claws.

He was standing tall, licked his paw then went back to all fours going back in the shadows, 'he's toying with me now but I know he's not here to just play. If ordered he could kill me ... or nearly kill me'. Getting serious I changed my stance, my action prompted him to strike but I was ready for the killer instinct the man tiger had. I was able to deflect his attacks but barely, I was out classed and out matched size and weight. 'There is no way I can land a clean hit without getting him off gua-', my thoughts were cut off as the wind was knocked out of me. " ugh...", coughing and gasping for air I held my abdomen.
"Stay focused", he said sharply. I had follen to my knee trying to breathe properly again, 'his soft paws pack a hard punch ...'. Feeling his eyes fixed on me I played the pain a bit, as he pounced to attack I managed to dodge the swipes but he was relentless. My stamina was getting weaker and before I knew it I was knocked off my feet and pinned with one paw on my abdomen and the other alongside my face with his claws on my cheek, not enough to break the skin but enough to keep me still.

"Weak stamina, poor form and easy to take off guard. You have potential but don't get cocky child, I could have killed you over forty times during our fight". He moved his hand to my neck and flicked one finger leaving a scratch, feeling the blood trickle down I narrow my eyes. "Testing me or is this how you welcome everyone", I said trying to shift but he adds more strength into his hold. "A word of advice child, the strong survive here. I would put all your energy in strengthening your weak spots", he finally let me up wiping my blood away with his thumb then licked it. '... ew ... I can't tell if he did that because he's a tiger or ...', I get the shivers and stop thinking about it. The lights turn back on and the guards let us pass, he was handed papers that seemed to be an evaluation of my skills. "This is the first of many, be prepared", he said handing them back to the foot soldiers and he ran off another direction.

Bradford had met us halfway down a hallway stopping me, "she's mine now". He put his huge arm in between Tiger claw and I, he glanced at me then nodded. "Make sure to send her back before dinner and don't kill her", he walked away, and I was dragged into another part of the building in a more formal looking dojo. "I thought I was to have training tomorrow?", I said looking around. "Listen up girl, he went easy on you, but I was told to be as rough as I wanted as long as I don't kill you". His words held true; I thought my trials with Tiger claw were different, but it was more mentally draining they physically demanding. Bradford on the other hand went at every weak point Tiger claw pointed out earlier, I was in that dojo for three hours exhausted, bleeding and dizzy. My arms had claw marks, I had bruising on my legs and back, and one set of teeth marks on my ankle where he bit down enough to leave a mark but not break skin. Panting and out of breath I lunge at him as he side steps me and strikes my back leaving me on the floor, "give up?". He smirked watching me crawl back up like a worm, "n-not yet, I-I can still .... Still ...". The dizziness had gotten to me and I slumped over into the beasts arms, "you held out better than most, you still need more training, After a month. I Think I can get you to Masters standards". He tossed me over his shoulder like a sandbag, my bruised and bloody body was carried, "ow ... you suck". He lets out a huff and grumbles, in my dizzying haze my body was aching and head pounding, hearing tiger claws voice as he hissed out curses at Bradford.

"Training was all you were ment to do, how do you expect her to grow stronger when she's passed out. This will set back the plan by a few days at the least", feeling myself be lifted and then placed on something soft and warmer then where I was before I couldn't help but relax a bit. 'It feels like a cloud', my eye lids were too heavy to open. Xevers foot steps came close, "yeesh are you sure it was just training? More like an intimidation tactic, is this cuz she pulled a gun on you?". Nor confirming or denying what xever said he moved past the subject and changed to a different topic, "stockman will have the collar done by the end of the day I'll go deliver it to master once it's been completed", he's footsteps rushed away from us and I weakly opened one eye.

"Don't wake up, it's better you rest", his huge paw covered my face almost suffocating me into forced slumber. Placing my hand on his I dragged it off of me, "I can't breathe". I was taken to a large empty room that had nothing but a bed, as I was placed there was someone waiting on another side of the door. " they will treat your injuries, rest", he left and xever following along gave a smirk. " if you get lonely Chiquita, I can always stay with you", he winked his little fisheye as he blew a kiss and walked out of the room only to be bonked on the head by someone outside.

I was left alone for a moment and a long-pained sigh left my lips, "this is one of the more fucked up situation I've ever been in". I mumbled to myself as I thought back to how eager mother was to give me away to this man, 'I am a key part of a plan he has for me, but I don't understand what that is yet, hearing what Bradford said I have a month to get stronger. If I become not what they need what will happen to me...'. After getting fixed up dragging my feet back to my room I was already hit with dread for the days to come.
