Out Of Time - Book 1: The Witch - Chapter 4: Betrayals True Name
#5 of Out Of Time
Kaodina growled as she backed away from the television screen and fought to get back on her feet. She looked at the man she called father talking to someone off screen. The sound on their end clearly muted. She took this chance to look around. Now that she new more of what was going on, she had a better understanding of what to do.
First, she did the smart thing. Walking over to where she had spotted the camera bidder in the wall and began inspections on the glass. With a grin, she found this to be simple plate glass, which only took the use of her elbow to shatter. She ripped the candela from its mount and smashed it against the ground. After, she looked over the scrap left in its distraction to find any materials she could manipulate with magic. Finding a sing wire just thin enough to use as a lock pick, she turned to walk towards the door. That's when something on the television caught her eye.
A robotic looking arm came across the screen baring weaponry she had not seen before. She stumbled over to watch when sudden sound catches her ears. "Where is she, Professor Hurkwood? I know you locked her away and plan to kill her." The voice, so familiar, yet she couldn't place who it belonged to till the black furred feline walked further in front of the monitor.
"Damian?!?!" Kaodina cried out, now wishing she hadn't destroyed the camera. "Can you hear me D?" She yelled as though willing her youngest brother to hear her.
"You won't see her alive again, not after tonight." Hurkwood replied with a sedistic cackle before turning his gun on the bound up Cassandra. But before he could pull the trigger, a bolt of electrical energy burned from the arm of the feline right into Hurkwood's chest, launching the old man off screen. The feline set about freeing his siblings who explain one at a time the situation. "You get that SoL. She's in a bunker at 3578 Harker Way. Be quick. She may be injured."
Kaodina couldn't help but to begin crying again. She had thought for sure she would have to break free and rescue the others on her own. With tears of hope, she struggles her way to the door, working the wire in between the door and the frame before inciting a single word. "Kirresh". The wire began binding and working its ways to try and open the door.
After roughly ten minutes of repeating the spell and working it along the opening to find the right spot, she hears a click and the door began opening. As she took a few steps back to open the door, her eyes caught sight of not just her freedom, but also the familiar sight of her cybernetic brother.
SoL rushed into the room to catch and embrace his naked sister, slowly helping her from the room. "Man. You look like shit, birdy." He teased her as he helped to get her to a safe spot to sit. "Stay put. I will get you some cloths."
"Thank you SoL. They took my tools. So I'm just about useless till I heal." She replied with a tinge of anger in her voice.
SoL nods. "I will see what I can find with in the time of my journey for your attire." He smiles as he began to take off.
She put on a smile as she did her best to keep her bared bits covered with her hands and arms, seeing as she was now in public. She thought about going to wait back inside that room, but shook the idea off. "No. Spent plenty enough time in there as was." She said to herself, though she did get back on her feet.
The glimpse of metal made her smile. And the sound of approaching footsteps from behind her was what triggered her turning. "That was quick. Never heard of you be......." her words where cut short by the sound of all the air leaving her body. "A-Who.......?" Was the last thing to leave her lips, other then the blue fluid that was her own words.
A cybernetic looking feline towered over her, it's left arm having been driven completely through her. "No hard feelings, Kaodina. Now that I'm free, I can't have you stopping me." Came the voice the the cybernetic beast.
Kaodina's eyes went wide as she heard the voice. The cybernetic creature ripped its arm free and let Kaodina' body fall to the ground. After, the beast turned and ran off. She had enough time left in her life to etch her killer's name in the grass beside her body in her own blood. A single word that would spell the biggest trouble for her siblings.
