"Now Kat, I'm going to explain to you what will happen. Of course since you put up that much of a fight you're going to get an extended explanation." Dangling half upside-down with the blood rushing to her head, Kat didn’t feel much like any sort of explanation, much less the extended kind. But she didn’t feel much like getting beaten up by Livia either, so rather than answer she settled for scowling angrily at the ground. You're being kidnapped...you're being kidnapped...they're taking you away... These words rolled around her head like a mantra, but seemed to have no meaning as she struggled to come to terms with the situation. It seemed like she should do something...but what? She was powerless. "Well Lassie, we're going to be taking you to your new home. It's called Cathriss Gate, and it's where a number of us live. You'll be surprised to know that you're not the only one with surprising abilities." Kat traced the grey, uneven asphalt with her eyes as it rolled away beneath her… Luke’s shoulder was digging painfully into her stomach with every step he took, and her adrenaline soaked brain couldn’t concentrate properly on what Livia was saying. Something about where they were taking her she surmised. Cathriss Gate…Cathriss… had she heard that name before? It certainly didn’t connect with any place she knew of nearby… But she didn’t have time to wonder as it was then that the comment about abilities hit her. Like a truck. “How-what…?” It was hard to talk upside-down with this jerk’s shoulder impeding her breathing. A coldness clutched at the empath’s heart that had nothing to do with the dappled shade from the foliage above. These people knew. How could they know? Only Kat’s mother had any clue that there was more to Kat’s funny spells than migraines and eccentricity…just who were these people? “Now There are a couple of rules you should know, or at least hear of. You can't hurt us or kill us or you get punished likewise-“ “Kill!?” Kat spluttered, giving Livia as much of a derisive glare as she could whilst flopping uncomfortably against Luke’s back. “Who the heck am I gonna kill?” But Livia had already moved on... you can't take from your new 'family', running away isn't much of an option, and people who we haven't brought to Cathriss can't come onto the grounds. Simple no?" “No.” Came the muttered reply, half lost in the rustling of the leaves around them. Kat barely listened as Livia continued…Kat didn’t care about rules, she didn’t care about Cathriss, and she didn’t care about her new ‘family’ whatever that meant. Kat had a perfectly good family at home…or, well, a family at least. And right now, as far as she was concerned, it was Livia and her jerk of a henchman that were depriving her of their infinitely irritating company. For Kat that just wasn’t good enough. She glared at Livia, an arrogant sort of hatred overcoming the fear in her eyes. “You guys’re nuts,” she chortled, her voice thick with dark pity. “And I want to go home. Now!” |
