#1 of Old stuff


K, so I posted this on another furry site(some of you might recognize my tag beastly man42) and I havn't gotten alot of feedback, and I'm hoping I'll get more here. This is the revisited version, so it is spell checked and added toi

Black Cats

Pain, running unchecked through my skull, was the first sensation I felt as I came to. I could see nothing, nothing but blackness as my whole world shook.

I'd like to tell you that my name is really Shane Titan, and I really lived in Arizona, that I used to have a happy, normal life where I only worried about girls and my car, but you can't be sure they aren't lies are to protect my family from the terrible truth. I can tell you that I used to be a skinny, blond, lanky teenager, not that I look anything like that now. I can also tell you that this story is true, and nothing that anyone else says will change that, but back to the pain.

It felt like nothing I had experienced before in my sheltered life. I felt around, confused, at the blackness before me 'till I came to an edge. I was in a box. Why? How did I get hear? The box shook endlessly everytime I moved, and every once in a while, violently. I searched my memory for an explanation, I went to sleep in my bed last night, didn't I?

Suddenly, the shaking stopped, and I felt pulled toward one side of the small box that held me. It instantly registered in my brain that I was in a kind of vehicle, I could feel it come to a stop, and as I came to this realization, a voice outside said "Open it."

The box was flipped over, but unfortunatly for me, gravity stayed the same. I fell out on my head, ass up in the air, as the box opened up and was tipped over again. the light blinded me, and my eyes took time to adjust.

A dark, ruff, voice said "Look's like the little son of a bitch is awake, too bad, for him."

I felt a gust chill my skin, and I suddenly realized I was stark nude, and as my eyes adjusted, I was brought to a cold, hard reality.

I was in a large airplane-hanger-like room with bright flood lights shining on me. I saw walls of crates behind, and on both sides of me. My only way out was bard by the tree, large, brutish looking men in front of me, standing in front of a large white utility van. One of my assumed kidnappers, the one in the front in all black, presumably the leader, took a step toward me.

"We were hired by a genetic researching company to capture any young, healthy people we could find. Your it." he said in an agreeable, business like tone. "I'm telling you this," he continued "because you have no chance of escape, or of being rescued, and they will probably kill you before they get your face on a milk carton. The only reason you are not already at this company, is because we're gonna have some fun with you first."

He said all this with such matter-of-factness, that I pinched my self to see if I was dreaming. The pinch heart, and even as I lifted my fingers of my arm, they were bringing a bench out from inside the van, followed by a big, black, Labrador.

I instantly darted for the only exit, behind the men, but they were faster then me, and they caught my arms and forced me onto the bench, chest down, dick hanging under. I was tied down, arms and legs bound to the legs of the chair, and the 2 goons began to taunt my helpless position.

"You gonna be our bitch, bitch."

"We gonna cream you on both ends." They said, but I've always reacted well to insults

. "So you guys aren't the brains of this operation, are you?" I taunted back, trying to muster steel into my voice. I was still as nerves as hell, and growing hard from what they were going to do to me despite myself. The men just laughed at me, seeing how scared shitless I was. I spotted the boss, he had stripped his pants off, and was rubbing his cock and the Labradors. I couldn't help but think about how sleek and powerful the Labrador was, his red member growing almost as fast as mine was. Dumb and dumber, the two goons in front of me suddenly placed a ball gag in my mouth.

"Bitches don't talk." said the one on my right, he was dumb.

"Ya, bitches don't talk." said dumber. They both started to strip there pants off too, then I felt a hot, heavy breathing behind me accompanied by a smooth panting. The boss uttered a single word.

"Up."

I suddenly felt a furry mass on top of my back, and a hard, warm object starting to jab right between my balls and my ass. I was rock hard, feeling the silky fur of the lab on my back. I had read BeastForum posts religiously, but it was all a fantasy before now, now it was a nightmare. The boss was getting impatient, so he grabbed a hold of the dogs cock and guided it in. The lab, his cock already soaked with pre-cum, jabbed in with one hard stroke, impaling him self half way in me.

It was shattering pain worse then any before in my life, even more then the one previously mentioned at the beginning. The lab started pumping, slow and deep, into my once virgin ass, driving pain home with every stroke, but with an ever growing pleasure underneath. I was starting to feel it, and it made me angry at those men. I was loving it against my will, and they mocked me with it.

Both dumb and dumber started to masturbate and one took the time to actually put together a coherent thought.

"That's some hot stuff." Dumber muttered. Hay I never said it was an intelligent thought.

The boss was satisfied, and stood back, viewing my humiliation coolly, impassively. The sexual tension was growing, almost tangible in the air. The pain was near gone now, I could only feel the pleasure, the fire in my veins, as is spread up my ass to my back. The lab started to pick up the pace, jamming his entire beautiful red member completely in and out of my hole, the knot banging at it, trying to part it.

Then Dumber made a mistake and slid his cock into my open mouth while I was, well, occupied. He started skull fucking me, yelling at me the whole time.

"You my bitch, bitch." he shouted, "I'm gonna fill you till I can't no more!"

He was moving faster, and faster, the lab was banging harder and harder, and I finally couldn't take it any more. I bit down on Dumber's dick. Hard.

He fell backwards, screaming in pain and spurting blood as Dumb swore, running to the truck for a first aid kit. I only barely noticed as I spat out his severed dickhead, and the boss just watched as impassively as ever. The lab was fucking me desperately now, and my ass was throbbing with pleasure. I wanted release, I begged for release, I needed release as the fire ran up my spine, searing every nerve in my body.

I felt like such an animal, the taste of blood on my mouth and a dog mating me desperately, It pushed my over the edge, and I started cumming, without anyone even touching my pulsating dick. the dog instantly gave an almighty thrust, sending a shattering sensation of pain and sex rippling through my body as the knot entered my hole spewing hot cum into my gut, leaving me a piece of thoughtless fuck meat.

I came to with Dumber's crotch bandaged (I thought it was poetic justice) and Dumb was reaching for a revolver on the belt of his pants he left on the ground.

"YOU BASTARD, I'LL KILL YOU!!" he came at me, shouting all the way. "YOU ARE DEAD!!" he whipped the pistol to my face and I laughed at him, still in heaven, still with a dog's knot imbedded in my ass, still being filled. Dumb pointed the gun... and the boss finally intervened, pulling the gun away from my face, and kicking me viciously in the head. I started to black out, the edges of my vision fading, and I herd the boss, as I sunk into darkness, talking

"They won't pay for a corps," he said, "they'll only pay if we bring him alive, they want their black cat."

'-'

I slowly came to, wondering were I was, again. I tried standing up, but I was tied to the bench and back in the van, and I couldn't remember a thing.

I thought, "The bench? What v..." my thoughts were interrupted by a small yip to my side. I turned my head to see a black lab. He stared at me, and it all came back.

I could feel it all again, the passion, the pain, the feeling of flesh parting between my teeth. I dry heaved miserably at the vary thought. The lab was in the back of what I presumed was the van with me, eyeing me intently. I felt sick and yet wonderful looking at this powerful, sleek creature next to me. He violated me, but he didn't know better, how could he? His big mournful eyes seemed to know, and those eyes begged forgiveness as he stood and huddled next to me.

Looking at him now, I could see the signs of abuse and hunger. He had long scars on one leg and his ribs poked out of his sides. Tears welled up in my eyes, for him and for me.

"I forgive you, it's alright." I crooned softly to him. He perked up instantly and lay down by me, contently asleep.

I tried to get out of the bonds holding me to the bench. The van was moving, the constant vibration may have loosened them. I started to tug at them, and then the van stopped. I froze; did they know I was awake? The door to the van suddenly opened, and Dumb was there.

He leaned over me, anger on his face, and said, "If you try to escape, I'll kill you." He started to untie me. I couldn't believe it, this was my chance. He started with my left leg, and then my right. I thought if waited for a hand, I could escape, but he tied my legs together as soon as they were free. He undid a hand, and crushed it in his iron grip. He may have been stupid, but he wouldn't let me go.

"You thought ya' could escape, didn't ya'?" he taunted me as he flipped me over off the bench and tied my right arm to my legs and then untied and tied again my right. The dog moved toward him, only to stop flinching at a sharp gesture from Dumb.

"Is you friend still bleeding?" I shot at him, placing as much venom as I could into my voice. He didn't like that at all. His face contorted in rage, his fist raised high, I braced myself for the blow that he had for me, and the bosses hand shot from behind him and grabbed his wrist.

"Don't." he warned, "The company won't pay for damaged goods." The boss seemed to almost be threatening him, and I was only a source of money.

"That's right bozo," I yelled at him,"you're gonna need that pay check to fix up stupid number 2, wont you?" It probably wasn't wise to antagonize him, he was bigger, stronger, and I was hog tied in the back of his van, but what can I say, I get under peoples skin.

"You'll be hurt worse where yer goin'" he growled, almost in undertone, like a threatened wolf. "The people we take to this place, they either live the surgery and die being tested, or go crazy from both." He then gave a vicious smack to my face, and there was darkness once again.

-_-

I seemed to be dreaming. I was on a cold metal table, surrounded by needles; millions of them, all around, all fixed at me, protruding from different racks, all connected to a million tubes. There were doctors, in white lab coats with vials and scalpels, all digging into my flesh. Dull pain pulsed into my brain from every part of my body. I herd a voice say something, penetrating the haze around me.

"Give him more, he's conscious." was all he said, and I slipped back into oblivion.

*_*

I woke for the third time in who knew how long in pain, not knowing were I was, but this time I knew why.

The kidnappers sold me, I was free of them at last, but were was I sold to? I took in my surroundings quickly, looking for anything recognizable.

I was surprised at how fast I got up, but surprised farther still by the room I was in. I was all white, not a speck of dust in sight. I was instantly reminded of the strange vision. I quickly looked myself over, and gasped.

My entire body was covered in a thick, black coat of the silkiest fur I have ever felt. My hands and feet had bags covering them, probably to protect myself from the new claws I could feel moving in and out of my fingers. I felt on my head, and my ears were large, high on my head and pointed like a cats, I could feel my facial features had been completely changed. I had a muzzle with razor-sharp teeth lining the inside of my mouth, a black tail sprouted from the base of my spine that seemed to know by itself exactly how to move to balance me, and the latest indignity: I had a leather collar encircling my neck.

I shook as I stood up, and found my feet were elongated and my calves shortened so I had to stand on the balls of my feet with a double jointed leg. I had to be dreaming, I must be dreaming...

"You're not dreaming." came a voice from behind me. I spun in the air, facing a woman in a long overcoat. I noticed I suddenly had lighting reaction time and more power in my limbs than ever before.

"You really are a cat now," she assured me, "though not one that happens to exist anywhere else, that's what we made you."

I started to coil up my legs, ready to maul her. She had changed me, whoever she worked for would pay. A low menacing growl rumbled in my chest.

"None of that now." she cautioned, and pulled a small remote from her coat pocket and pressed a single button. Instant pain shot through my spine and every limb on my body went totally limp. The woman wasn't fazed at all.

"You shall refer to us as the masters from now on," she continued, "I am you mistress, and you will not disobey me."

"What do you want from me?" I growled. My voice was yet another surprise, it sounded like rumbling thunder, gruff and low.

A smile danced a crossed her face, "We want you to survive. You are the first Felonious Sapiens, a cross between cat and human DNA."

"Let me leave, I'll survive just fine." I placed every amount of threat into what I said, and was surprised by a sudden fantasy of ripping out her voice box with my teeth

Her smile grew wider, "We want you to survive our tests, and then we want you to die, without anyone knowing you ever existed." she didn't flinch, twitch or even bat an eye at the fact that she just told me I was going to die. She had no remorse for what she had done and what she would do. "You can't escape," she said, "you have no hope of being rescued, and every human being you encounter will have a remote to you collar so you won't get the chance to so much as scratch us. You now belong to us."

I glared her down and growled again. She just fished a clipboard out of her coat and pulled out a pencil from a pocket

"Let's get started, then." she said, still smiling at me.

>_<

Their tests were vicious and cruel, and I was lead to them in a steel dog crate. The day my entire existence changed, I was run through intricate mazes in which I was electrically shocked for mistakes and for slowness. I was placed on tread mills for hours with censers stuck onto my body to get results, and I was forced to kill for my life against mindless creatures, masses of flesh and teeth with computers for brains. The penalty for holding back, would have been death.

I quickly got to know my new ability, and I became scared of my self. I viciously crushed everything that they sent to fight me, and the amount of feral joy I felt surprised me, and even though it sickened me, I now had a taste for warm, bloody flesh. By the end of that horrendous day, I was huddled in the corner of the same white room, crying for myself and for the souls I felt must have died doing the same thing.

I lay their, crying, when I herd a door open into the room. The same woman entered, wearing the same white coat, and the same, knowing smile. I instantly came on all fours, which was even more comfortable then two legs by now, and growled at the intruder, the hairs on my back brisling. She pressed the same button, a big red one, on the same remote and I tumbled to the ground in pain. She represented everything that the scientists had done to me, and so she had to pay along with every one else.

As soon as she was pleased with the fact that I could not move, she motioned to some people out side, and two men in the same lab coats lead in the most beautiful female panther I had ever seen. Her thick black coat covered powerful muscles and lovely curves, and yet she walked as one defeated, head down and a mournful look to her body. She saw nothing other then the floor. As she entered, I could smell something that could only be described as a sickly-sweet.

The men brought the panther in slowly, than kicked her viciously on the side, knocking her to the ground.

<Pleas help me!> I heard in my head; the voice seemed to come from nowhere and everywhere. I saw the panther's eyes on me, and I knew by instinct that it was her.

I instantly sifted my attention to the scientist women. "I won't kill her, I'll die first."

The scientist laughed slightly, "No, you won't have to do either, just play nice."

She giggled slightly at my confused face, and left the room with the two other men closing the door behind them.

A moment later I was released from my paralyzation, and I rushed over to help the beautiful cat. 'She's so beautiful, I hope she's alright,' I thought staring at her.

<They didn't kill me?> The thought was more distinct this time, and it was defiantly hers.

< No, they didn't> I tried to think in a way that she would here, I hoped she could.

<Why do you wonder if I understand?> her though was questioning, and I was encouraged by the amount of curiosity she showed for someone who thought they were dead a second ago.

<You can hear everything I think too?> I said more than asked.

<Yes, although you thought feel strange to me,> she explained, <and I now see that you don't seem to be just like me either>

It was true; she was the epiphany of perfection, a model panther. I was built like a human with longer arms and shorter legs. I was just as big as her, maybe as strong as her, but she was a more streamlined creation, I felt crude and clumsy next to her.

<Do not be ashamed, the white ones have done this to you haven't they?>Her understanding and kindness was almost to much.

<Yes, I have been changed and hurt> My eyes started to swell with tears, <Have you? Will you be alright?>

< I am fine, do not be troubled.> she said, but I could feel a hint of a white lie.

She picked herself off the floor turning around to survey the room. She moved so smoothly, so easily, and I couldn't help but catch a glimpse of her hind quarters. Her snatch looked smooth and pink, and as she turned I could smell her sex. The aroma was sweet, hot, and underneath was a scent that seemed to carry in it her entire being. Needless to say I was turned on, my member slowly slipping out of its new sheath.

She lazily turned to me with a smile on her feline features. <You think I'm beautiful, yes?>This mind reading thing was going to be a problem.

<You are gorgeous, you know I that's what I think> I told her. We were slowly drawing close together, we both could see the need we felt for each other. Our noses touched, our cheeks bushed, and we turned our heads again toward one another and kissed. The moment was a heaven that seemed to go on forever. Our lips parted.

<What is you name> I asked, sheepish that I hadn't before.

<Kaila,> she whispered, like she was sharing a great secret, <and you?>

<Shane.>

I turned with her until I could see her spot again. It was now invitingly wet and dripping. I brought my nose closer to it, taking in the heavy aroma and savoring the moment.

<Pleasure me, please.> Kaila begged, the want tangible in her every thought.

I slowly brought my tongue to her pussy, licking up her juices and parting her lips. The taste was perfect, a blend of the sweet and warmth inside.

<Please, more.> she begged once more. I could hear her thought over a sort of high pitched growl that bespoke of pleasure.

I responded with a deep, powerful lick deep into her bowls, causing her to purr and almost moan with need. I continued, faster and faster. Her breath grew short, her moans, more desperate. I could feel her inner walls pulsing excitedly, her inner places begging me to move faster still. it continued, faster and deeper, on and on until, with a final roar of passion, she came all over my face, her pussy clamping my tongue in between her lips. She released and I quickly cleaned her juices up.

<Thank you, now do it, enter me and join with me. I want to feel you in me.> She was almost commanding me, and I would have it no other way

<As you say> I replied as I mounted her back, I could feel my prick dripping with pre-cum, feel her smooth, black fur on mine. Her sex was at the tip of mine, and I slowly entered, feeling every inch of her wonderful walls. Both Kaila and I moaned in unison. I started to move in and out, still slowly, as her walls rubbed and pulsed against my dick. I started to move faster, and faster. It felt like someone had pored acid into my veins as a burning started at my now pounding member and moved up my spine. I could feel my tool slamming into her pussy, stretching it with its newfound length.

Kaila and I breathed together, moaned together, and purred together with the rising and falling tides of our love. Our thoughts molded into one entity as we moved in unison, my thrusts meeting hers. Our love making grew stronger, searching for a new level of ecstasy.

I felt a need to release again, stronger then any before. My every stroke made Kaila shudder under me. My prick felt huge as it moved in and out of her, faster and harder until I felt something give, and my shaft entered, accompanied by pleasure so great, I would have collapsed if instinct had not kept me up. The newly developed barbs stuck me inside her, my seed pulsing into her, and I could feel her walls massaging the hilt of my prick, bringing me endless pleasure. After what seemed like ages, I exited her spot, and we both collapsed on the floor, completely exhausted.

^_^

As I slept that night, I lived Kaila's memories. While we had made love, we had become one, and I now saw through her eyes from a long time ago.

As Kaila, I feast on a warm kill, tearing flesh from bone on what once was a living thing, it mattered not what, only that it was stupid enough to be killed. As I gorge myself on my efforts, I hear the faint snap of a twig. Instantly, I spin around, facing the foolish beast who has disturbed me.

<Who...> I start, but my growl dies at the site of a large male panther. I am suddenly very aware that I am in heat, but not for this one, who I know only by sent.

<You will submit to me> he commands, and I can see his member clearly wanting me.

<When you can pin me to the ground> I reply, threatening him with every word.

He seems to nod slowly and then without warning or thought, he pounces, flying toward me. I panic, and smash my claws into his face, knocking him aside. It was too predictable. He knew were he would land, and he instantly recovered, flashing toward me as soon as his feet touch the ground. I can't move in time to avoid this attack, and I am pinned to the ground, with his teeth on my neck.

<Then, you will submit anyway.> He growls around my neck as he positions himself on top of me. There is no escape now, no way to stop him. He has won.

I can feel his tool, hot and slippery, against my leg. It's dripping with pre-cum, soaking my fur. He is deliberately waiting for me to want him, to beg for him, knowing my instincts will win out. My pussy is pulsing, yearning to be filled, but I will not give him the pleasure of me begging. I will command him to end it quickly.

<Do it already or are you impotent as well as...> I am cut off by pain, unparalleled pain, jabbing from my hole. My virginity is torn with an auditable rip. The pain is almost debilitating, but not even close to the pleasure that ripples over my body as he starts pumping furiously.

<Don't tell me you don't love it, my slave> He whispers in my ear, his dominating presence overwhelmingly powerful. I am his, weather I care about it or not, as he pumps faster and faster into my newly bleeding womanhood causing my first ever orgasm. A burning passion spreads over me as his balls slap against my opening. It builds and builds, reaching higher and higher, searching for a point at witch to stop, and my second orgasm floods over me with a mighty roar from my chest. Just as I wonder if it could go higher, with a sudden, powerful thrust, his entire length enters me, sending me into the most shatteringly powerful orgasm yet. Its almost unbearable, the pleasure from his man-hood pressing my women-hood, his seed filling my womb, and I unable to escape the barbs that hold me there.

After what seems like an eternity of orgasms and his pulsing member filling me, he exits with a large, moist "pop." His seed spills onto the floor, with my exhausted body close behind.

<Take good care of my offspring, Kaila> He whispers in my ear as he strides away. He knows my name now as I know he is Pakta, we have bonded now and will be so until we die. We both know I will have his kittens soon

I was suddenly jerked out of sleep be the sharp tap of steel against the floor. I instantly shot up on all fours, facing the sound. I just caught the sight of a hand exiting through a small panel in the door, leaving behind a bowl of food. That reminded me how hungry I was, I hadn't eaten sense the night I was kidnapped. I quietly moved past Kaila's sleeping form next to me and picked up one of the bowls. It still had the man's scent on it, but other than that, it smelled perfectly fine.

As I had my cold breakfast of meat, I reflected on the night before. I had just lost my virginity to a panther, and I wasn't ashamed, disturbed, or even guilt stricken at all. To me, Kaila was more human then those white-coated scientists were, and just thinking about her made me aroused. No, human seemed to be to base a word for her, the perfect creature she was, but could I let my self love her? The scientists had put her with me for a reason, and I feared for her what they would use her for. Was she to be the motivation for there "tests" when my own life wasn't enough, or was she to cure the insanity that I would eventually develop with there endless cruelty? Was this just another test, one in emotion and biology, did they want her pregnant so they could test our kittens too?

And now this dream I had, was it really a memory from her? It was too real to be an average dream, I could still smell the kill Kaila was eating, hear her desperate calls, and I could still feel the other panthers tool inside her pussy. The thought turned me on even more then I already was, and then I herd her wake. She lifted her head and looked at me

<You were once human.> there wasn't even a hint of a question in her thoughts, she had dreamed my memories too.

<Yes I was, but if our captors can be called human, I don't.> I said, barely able to hide the anger and disgust in my thoughts.

Kaila moved toward the bowl next to me, and I couldn't help but notice her beauty, her grace, for the hundredth time. She moved so smooth, like poetry in motion, music incarnate, more graceful then the most trained dancer.

<You are not scared of me because I am an animal, and I am not upset that you were a human, then why do you hate what you once were?> Kailas question cut me deep, it was the one I asked myself for a long time yesterday, did it matter if I wasn't human?

<As children,> I explained to her, <humans are taught that we are the most intelligent things alive. We are taught that only humans have compassion, or even a soul, but now I know the truth. These humans in white here have no compassion or even a conscious. They have less of a soul then most people think a rock would have, and you have so much more than any person would.> I looked at her, and she back at me. In that moment, I knew that it didn't matter what the scientists meant for her to be to me, she was much more. Kaila leaned her head on mine, her hot breath on my neck.

<Make love to me again, Shane. Make me yours once more> Kaila whispered into my ear. <Let us share in everything we have, hart, mind, and soul>

<We will escape, I promise,> I whispered back, moving behind her, toward her snatch. <For you, for me, for our offspring, I will get us out, even if I have to kill every white coat in this building.> I paused for a second and thought about that. <Especially if I have to kill them all.> I added. The dark thoughts seemed to fuel her fire, and I mounted her, my member dripping and hot behind her.

<Do you think I'm beautiful?> she asked me, suddenly so unsure of herself, and I wondered what memories of mine she had seen. I lowered my mouth toward her face.

<You know I do. You can read my thoughts, remember?> I answered as I entered her. I moved in slowly, savoring every inch of her wonderful body. I could feel more then hear her purring slightly under a sensual moan. I moved slowly, ever so slowly, in and out of her, savoring it.

I kept the slow pace, her moans growing with each passing moment. I felt myself grow inside her as I sped up slowly, moving with her thrusts, leading them into mine. I started moving faster and faster; soon I was barely controlling my own actions. My tool plunged into her depths as she moaned continually, never stopping, never ending, My balls banging into her clenched pussy as we road together over a wave of electric fire that spread throughout our bodies, consuming us. We shared thoughts, emotions, sensations, all as one. I felt her shudder, and I felt my barbs hook her, fueling our fire as we both orgasmed, sending wave after wave of pleasure. I could feel my seed filling her, never seeming to stop, an endless flow of semen and sex.

Our thoughts separated as we came down, and eventually my barbs released her and I exited her with a slippery pop. As we lay on the floor, side by side, I moved my muzzle to her ear.

<I love you, and I will forever.> I told her. She smiled at me, sure of herself as she once was, and replied in low undertone

<I know, I hear you thoughts, remember?>

Kaila and I lay their fore a moment, basking in each others company. For a small instant in time, the outside world didn't matter, nothing mattered. The only thing that mattered was her and me. It lasted only a small moment.

There was a sudden click at the door, and I jumped onto all fours alongside Kaila, only to encounter a shattering pain from my collar, leaving both of us immobile on the floor before we could scream. The door opened, and the scientist woman came in, trailing with her a cage on wheels pulled by two men. I growled at her menacingly, almost surprised by my own reaction. She only smirked at me, and turned to look at the two men while pointing at me.

"Take that one, leave the other." She said, leaving me almost grateful. They weren't here for Kaila, she was safe. Kaila, on the other hand, was jarred.

<Shane!> her cry for me wrenched at my hart as I was picked up by the men.

<Don't worry, I will come back> the certainty in my thoughts calmed her somewhat.

<Please, come back safely> She thought back to me, tension still apparent, but calmer. I turned my attention to the scientist.

"What're you gonna do to me today, you soulless bitch." I growled at her from the inside of my cage. Her thumb went to a button on the remote in her hand, and I was punished with another shock.

"That's no way to talk to you mistress, kitty." She scolded, "Show respect to your maker." She was openly mocking me, obviously gleeful at my helpless position at the bottom of the cage.

"You're just another monster that lives of pain, you demon." I replied with as much venom as possible, fully expecting another shock. She just giggled at me.

"You don't even know pain, but you will soon." she informed me. Her words had a chill to them, and a shiver ran up my spine as she led my cage out of the room, shutting the door ominously behind us.

This trip through the hallways, I studied every detail, not missing a single one. The hallways were as white and square as the room I was in. There were no markings, no signs of any kind to tell were we were and were to go. There weren't any windows either, which masked the time of day and were this building even was. As my cage was pulled down hallway after endless hallway I tried to memorize were everything was, but I soon became lost, wondering at how anyone could tell where to go. The scientist must have seen my confusion.

"We all have a GPS system in the remotes workers are required to carry." She said, and then she put on a mocking tone. "Each remote also can disable anything wearing a collar. So, every person in the entire building can stop you."

She had said so before, but the thought still sent my head spinning. The amount of forethought, of preparation, was amazing. How could I get out, everyone here could stop me with those remotes.

Those remotes... a thought suddenly hit me, the remotes could control the collars, so could they get one off? How could I get one? I started calculating in my head, planning and plotting. A plan wavered into existence in my head, like a small flame of hope, and then the cage stopped in front of a door just like all the other doors. It opened to reveal little more then a dark space beyond.

My cage was opened, and my still limp body was flung through the door, landing on a cold steel surface just like the one in my own room. The door shut, and I was left in total darkness as I slowly gained control of my limbs. As I got up, the lights flickered on, revealing the room I was in. It was round and almost arena like, with black tinted windows all around. There was a door on the other end of the room, in front of which was a large, brown, furry mass. The woman scientists' voice came from the ceiling and addressed me.

"Slave," Said the voice, "This is Torturous, the Minotaur we have created. This is your first challenge seeing how the other creatures you faced thus far were mindless, empty shells. Don't disappoint us now, kill him"

As if on cue, the shaggy form on the other side of the room picked itself off the floor. A bulls head, blood-coated horns and all, attached to furry arms and torso, lifted itself on cloven hooves and legs. It pointed itself at me and bellowed.

Torturous flew at me, an unstoppable mass of hulking flesh and fur with only one brutish thought that came with the roar, death. I rolled to the side, more out of instinct then reflex, coming up on all fours. Torturous took a long time turning around and I suddenly knew my opening. He charged again, this time swinging as he came. The first was short and probably only there incase I rushed in early, I moved easily under the second and leaped on the third, using it to launch myself over my attacker. Torturous vainly tried to stop or turn as he made contact with the wall. I hoped for an instant that he might break it, that could have meant freedom for me and Kaila, but that was in vain too, this room was built for Torturous. He fought the wall, and the wall won.

He rebounded of the wall and landed face down in front of me. Just as I started to relax, I felt a thought, as brutal as who it came from

.

<Now, you die!> he bellowed.

Torturous flew at me, pushing off the floor with his arms, launching his back at me. I flew back at the same moment as time slowed down. We seemed to move through water, and I could see he was moving faster then me. He was going to crush me against the wall. I reached out with my claws, still seaming to move unbearably slow compared to my attacker. I had to reach him in time; I had to put him between me and the wall. Could I reach it? I felt like I would never see Kaila again.

Then, my left front paw snagged a few claws to his face and I flung myself up into the air to let Torturous slam into the wall. I came down on his neck claws first. I could hear it snap.

I walked away toward the door, disgusted. Not at Torturous, he fought bravely and keenly, but at the scientists and their twisted minds.

I braced myself, and felt the electric shock fly through my body again, paralyzing me once more. The door opened, and the same two men and that evil, scientist woman placed my in the rolling cage once more.

As they carted me through the halls once again, I tried to remember where they were going to turn. In a few turns, I was totally lost. There was no help for it but to get one of those remotes, preferably from the evil scientist lady. That was another problem, what was her name? I've almost called her the mistress several times now, I needed a real name (plus I'm tiered of typing "evil scientist lady" so many times). I could hear Kailas thoughts, as well as Torturous', maybe I could hear hers.

I angled my eyes at her (I still couldn't move my head) and concentrated on her. A few turns later I got one word.

<Tera> Look, problem solved.

Just as I was congratulating myself on a victory that, in truth, meant nothing, we stopped in front of the door to my room. I could smell Kaila on the other side, sick with worry. They picked me up and opened the door.

<I'm here, my love> I told her as Tera, the evil scientist lady pushed that same button. Interestingly enough, It shocked my as well, even though I was already paralyzed. I stored that away for later, and the men tossed me to the floor.

As the doors closed again, trapping Kaila and I inside the same room, a overwhelming cense of relief came flooding over from Kaila. She rushed over to me and placed her muzzle next to mine. Smothering me with her scent

<I'm so glad you are safe> she thought, the love welling from her to me.

<They couldn't stop me if they tried.> I told her smugly. Her loving embrace lasted for a few more moments before she was satisfied I was ok. Then she took a good whiff of me.

<You need to be cleaned.> she thought, wrinkling her nose.

<I haven't cleaned myself since I've been a cat.> I replied, a little bashful at the fact.

<Here, let me help you, and you can help me.> She started stroking my head with her rough tongue, stroking my fur soothingly. By the time she got to my neck, I worked up the courage to start on her head.

I could feel her skin twitch at the first contact, but we both soon relaxed as we moved down each others back, to their shoulders, then their lower back, then...

<Oh, Shane, that feels sooooo gooooood.> Kaila purred. At this point we were laying side by side, and I was working on her ever so sensitive breasts. It was a big turn on. I started to move, ever so slowly, closer and closer to her beautiful snatch. I almost couldn't help myself. Just as I got close, I felt her warm, bumpy tongue scrape across my protruding member, causing me to groan in pleasure.

<Don't stop> I pleaded, already starting to lap at Kaila's puffy lips. She continued to tease my member, licking its whole length, starting at the tip, and ending at the hilt, sending shivers up my spine. She then suddenly wrapped her mouth around it, taking the whole thing in. the sensation made me pause for only a moment before I began to eat, furiously, at her wonderful hole. We both were working in earnest now, in true 69 position. I could feel Kaila orgasm first, her entire body shaking for a moment, the sensation moving from her mind to mine, her pussy lips clamping on my tongue. Her orgasm sent me over the edge, and I felt my member start to pump load after load into her sucking mouth, and she didn't spill a drop.

We both came down from our high slowly, enjoying the after effects of our love making. I crawled around and lay behind her, sharing our warmth and affection.

<It's almost like a drug,> I whispered to her, <it gets better every time. You understand that, right?> She snuggled closer to me.

<Only that you love me, and that will never change> She replied.

We both smiled, and drifted off to sleep.

That night, I lived Kaila memories in my dreams, but in broken fragments that seemed to fade and grow with no meaning.

I can feel my mother cleaning me for the first time, licking me and willing me to breath my first breaths. I soon become hungry from all the hard work of living and I find a teat amongst my many siblings as...

I am wrestling with my brothers and sisters, teaching ourselves how to pounce and play and hunt as our mother watches, every once and a while, interjecting a comment or two about...

I have been nameless up to this point, but now I shall be given what every panther desires: the right to hunt that comes with a name. I stalk my prey carefully, I have to catch this if I am to be know as...

I can feel his tool, hot and slippery, against my leg. It's dripping with pre-cum, soaking my fur. He is deliberately waiting for me to want him, to beg for him, knowing my instincts will...

I now know how my mother felt on the day of my birth; the joy and love that could not be felt before today. I could feel each small life start as I cleaned them thoroughly, willing each of them lo breath, live and...

They came in the dark of the night, hunting my kittens. They appeared in white plastic sheets with a strange mask on there head. I menaced them with a growl, to show them I was not weak, but it was no use...

I could hear the cries of my offspring as they were fed through that insidious machine. I could feel each one's pain and suffering before I felt their life disappear, and all the time they kept writing their words...

...and I love him. In Shane I see the sorrow I feel, and he still was their to help me when I thought myself lost. He will still be their when I need him most, and most of all, I need to be with the one I will be like soon...

I woke up to the tapping sound of the same food bowl hitting the floor. I looked over at Kailas sleeping form next to me.

I whispered to her, "Oh Kaila, I'm sorry"

Kaila stirred at the sound of my thoughts.

<What are you sorry for?> she asked me.

<You've been through so much, and cared for me like you had never been hurt.> I felt ashamed as I said it, I had been so selfish.

She looked into my eyes with a soft smile. <Don't worry, I love you, and I care little for my troubles. You have suffered as much as I, and you have loved me as well.> She rubbed against me and purred, <You have never been selfish, even when you thought you were a monster>I gently embraced her, savoring the feeling of her fur on mine.

<Lets eat, they brought us food again.> I said. She nodded, and we both moved to the bowl of raw meat. As we ate, I felt Kaila brush her shoulder gently against mine and her tail move along my spine, each sending a shiver through my body.

I gave her a questioning look and she smiled.

<I need you, your body and soul.> she replied as she curved her body in front of mine.I brushed my cheek against hers and kissed her patiently.

<What ever you want, my love> I told her and I started to rub my body against hers, moving in slow, seductive circles. I moved behind her and playfully started to muzzle her rump causing her to groan slightly and purr gently. Soon her lips were open, revealing her velvety inner walls. I started to place my tongue in, savoring her twitching walls, her beautiful smell, her passion that overwhelmed her senses. I felt her buck backwards into my jaw, and heard her small, pleading whine that practically begged me for more. I started to lick her faster and faster, moving with her rocking hips. I built up more and more speed, and I felt her close to climaxing. Suddenly, with a small roar, her juices flooded out of her as she came all over my face.

She was slightly out of breath. <That was wonder...> she started, but she was cut off by my weight on her. I mounted her gently, feeling the already familiar ark of her back. I slowly entered her with my tool, feeling every inch of her beautiful pussy. We both groaned in unison, the pleasure once again tangible in the air. I started to move faster, pumping in and out of her as she neared a climax. I suddenly felt her walls shudder and I felt a glorious orgasm hit her. It spurred me faster and faster, fucking her harder then I ever could have as a human. We soon became one as I felt wave after powerful wave of orgasms hit her, each one flowing out of her into me like water pored into an overfull cup. I could faintly hear the click of a door opening, but it didn't reach my thoughts, filled as they were with our love. Finally Kaila hit a massive orgasm sending me over the edge.

With a mighty jerk, I felt my barbs hook her, filling her up and placing us as close as ever to each other. I could feel my hot seed filling her, and the endless, pulsing orgasm Kaila was having.

I suddenly remembered the door, and I turned to see Tera, the scientist, with two men and a cage staring at me. Both men had their hands down their pants and I could smell Teras juices in her pants.

She realized that she was staring and quickly regained her composure. She addressed the men behind her, "Would you gentlemen kindly stop jerking of and pull apart the panthers."

Kaila suddenly realized who was their and growled menacingly at them. <What do they want?> she asked me not taking her eyes of them. Tera pressed the same red button right as my knot became small enough to exit. As Kaila and I fell to the floor, filled with pain, I answered.

<They want me.> I told her, and the men placed me in the cage again. Tera was eyeing my retreating red member

They carted me away in what looked, for lack of any distinguishing marks, like the same cage as I continued to try to hear my captives' thoughts. I didn't even have to try to read the two goons minds to know what they were thinking about, both had a solid lump in their shorts and reeked, at least to me, with the sent of their pre-cum. There wasn't any doubt that they couldn't get the sight of me and Kaila mating out of their minds. Tara, on the other hand, was a virtual mask of unemotional detachment, which told me she had to be hiding something. Every other time, she walked like she was leading her prize stallion out of the stable, all hips and smirking superiority.

I sat and concentrated on her face, her sent, and I soon felt just a trickle of emotion behind her stone face, a trickle of lust so wild, the small mental whiff I got from her almost made me jump up and hit my head on the roof of the cage trying to get on her out of raw animal instinct.

Holy shit, she was just as hot on as the stupid grunts! I know it was kind of unfair of me, being the one who enjoyed it all, but I felt almost sick that these sterilized white-coats found me having sex arousing. I mean, damn it was like getting a boner for an ameba under a microscope or something.

That's what kind of condition I was in, slightly disturbed and a hell of a lot confused, when they stopped at the door we were apparently headed to. The scientist Tara gestured the men away and leaned over my cage, letting her lab coat revel a little cleavage.

"I'll give you a hint on this one," she whispered, "just because I don't like failed experiments. Don't sit still, especially when you're hair stands on end."

I rolled my eyes and gave her a face that I hoped look like the standard anarchy-teen-doesn't-care look and couldn't help but think that she only wanted a little more time to catch another peep show.

"Ya, like you care." I shot back, and waited for the door to open and to fight for my life against a total freak of nature like me. Again.

Back in the cage, I was left shaking from the adrenalin left after the fight while Tara stood over looking smug and reading the apparent data she had gathered. They had sent me against a half dozen large beetles about the size and shape of the buggers from halo, except that they shot lightning from their fingertips.

It took me what seemed like an eternity of dodging lightning and stingers to pin the bugs to the ground with a well timed pounce and rip their throats out one by one. I enjoyed the savage taste of blood on my tongue and the feeling of life, dying beneath my claws. It still scared the hell out of me, and between me shaking and how dog (or I guess cat) tired I was, the goons didn't even need to stun me back into my cage. I felt drained, and didn't even try to memorize where they were taking me, or try any more mind reading.

The cart stopped, and I felt the now familiar pain of untold volts knocking my body numb at the same time I became aware of Kaila falling to the floor in pain as well.

<Love, are you alright?> I worried. She bore the pain well, and tried not to show it

<I hoped> she thought, <to catch them cumming through the door.> I felt her try to rise, with no effect. She conveyed a desperate helplessness as I tried to console her

<Don't worry, we'll find a way through this. I promise, they can't be vigilant forever.> she smiled in her head as the cage was rolled into the room and I was dragged onto the floor. Just as the goons started to close the cage door, Tara stopped them.

"Leave the cage," she told the now bewildered goons, "and place the female panther in it. I want to examine the subject, and I don't want her to recover and jump me while I'm intent on my work." The workers stood around for a moment more, confused as hell, before doing what Tara ordered. They finished quickly and were hurried out the door by their growingly antsy superior.

Tara closed the door behind them and pressed a button on her remote. A small click was heard and she turned around slowly toward me. Our eyes met, and for the first time, I saw something behind the cold, calculating façade, something fierce and predatory and just a feral as me. She had the look of a hungry animal, and guess who she was looking at like a piece of meat.

<Oh shit.> I thought

<What, my love?> Kaila asked as Tara removed her lab coat in a slinky, sexual way fallowed by her shirt and silk pants revealing a slinky black silk panty and bra. <Why is the foul one removing her clothes?>

Tara slowly removed her last pieces of clothing from her surprisingly supple and seductive body. I felt aroused and ashamed at the sight, 'cus damn it she was doing this right in front of my lover and I was as helpless as when I was tied up for a couple of kidnappers' peepshow.

While the shame of that particular set of memories visited on my pride, Tara slinked toward me in her own attempt at near cat-like grace, but I knew the real thing.

"Now, slave, I have told you I was your mistress, and now I will demonstrate exactly how much control over you I have." She forked a foot under my shoulder and rolled me onto my back, revealing my slowly expanding member, all slender and pointed with only a hint at the head it had a long time ago.

Apparently, while Kaila had been experiencing my life extensively in her dreams, and learned some new vocabulary along the way.

<BITCH!> she screamed with all the mental force of a hurricane, <FUCKING BITCH, STAY AWAY FROM HIM!> But all she could physically do was quietly growl at Tara as she straddled me just below the crotch.

Tara started to slowly rub her hairless cunt against my member as she turned her head toward Kaila.

"What, jealous?" she mocked as she used her left hand to grab my tip and started to tease the end with hear thumb. The action elicited the only action I was capable of: a low, sensual growl that vibrated in my chest which made Teras slow thrusts speed up slightly. Her right hand, still holding the remote to my collar, came up to play with her tits.

Teras breathing became more and more ragged as my member came to full attention. She stopped teasing it and moaned softly

"The other scientists didn't notice," she whispered, "but I made sure that your genetic code gave you the length of a panther, but more stamina then any normal man could dream of."

She slowly bent over and engulfed my shaft with her mouth before pulling it out as agonizingly slow as possible. This elicited another of my growls, which seemed to work like a giant vibrator for her, because her body shuddered as the growl ended. She grabbed the hilt of my now throbbing prick and positioned her now soaking cunt over the tip.

"Now you will know for certain, you are mine." Tera purred, and then impaled herself to the hilt on my shaft. We both groaned this time as Tera felt herself stretched in so many new ways and I felt the raw pleasure mixed with shame and laced with the deadly hate that Kaila radiated for Tera.

Tera recovered quickly, and started to bring herself up and down over my sex, feeling every inch of it as it passed in and out of her. Each impact brought her down with a slightly muffled thud on the silk-like fine fur on my crotch. I could feel, like before, a small trickle of sensation she felt as she built her pleasure higher, and as I tried desperately to move my limbs again.

Tara moaned softly as I started gaining feeling to my fingers again. She started groaning louder as I started to feel my hips grind lightly towards her on their own accord. My back started to arch as Teras moans grew to screams, her orgasm just over the horizon. My chest strained to move my limp arms as Tera delayed the inevitable for just a few more moments before she orgasmed, screaming as I let loose a roar that echoed in the sound proof cell. Her juices flowed out over my fur and my seed filling her womb to overflowing as she slowly came down from her pleasure.

And then she realized she was stuck.

"Wha-?" she moaned as my still pumping member started her toward a second orgasim. She tugged at herself, but was too tired to do much more than budge me.

"The barbs," I growled as I regained the use of my voice again, "most large cats have barbs that keep the female stuck as he pumps his seed." I slowly lifted my body up and her back to the ground. "You should know," I said with every ounce of venom I had and every grain of anger Kaila felt, "you designed me."

I saw Teras eyes fill with naked fear as she realized, and tried to free herself from my still pumping member as her second orgasm hit. She trembled with pleasure and fear as I slowly lifted my clawed hand to her throat, her body under mine.

A tear dropped from her eye, and I ripped out her larynx. I murdered her in cold blood, stuck in her cunt and felt the same savage joy from killing her that kept scaring me.

Silence purveyed as Tera died, bleeding out all over my chest.

I pulled out of the lifeless body that she had been moments before. Cum and blood poured out of what once was her snatch; the barbs had done their worst and she had loved it.

As I rose to my full height, I picked up the remote that she had left on the floor in her lust for me. None of the buttons were marked, but it wasn't hard for me to tell which one released the collars, I just picked the one with no sent on it, the one that was never used.

With a simple touch, the remote released both Kaila and me from our collars and her from her cage. She could tell the anguish I felt, not for Tera, but for the thing I had become, the things I did and the things I lost inside me, just to kill one pathetic life.

<Come,> Kaila said, <let us leave this place.>

I nodded slowly, turning away from the corps I had made. I pressed the most used button, and opened the door. I had this plan in my head that we would figure out the GPS system Tera mocked me with, know where to go, and stealthily let ourselves out of the facility. That plan was shot to hell as soon as we left the room and the two goons who rolled my cage were right next to us.

They stared at us, petrified with raw shock for the second it took us to react. The first died instantly with a crushing palm thrust to the forehead and the second died without a head as Kaila's jaws padded through him.

I looked down at the now smashed remote in my right hand and then at the surveillance camera that was zeroed in at us.

"Shit." I said, and then every alarm in the place shot off. I jumped up the wall and ripped the camera off the wall.

<We need to find a white coat and get him to tell us were the exit is.> I told Kaila, and then held up the camera, <And we need to stay under these things were they can't see us.>

Kaila nodded, and then we sprinted off into the facility, hoping most of the guards were coming from behind us. We sprinted around about a dozen corners, completely lost, before we ran into a security detail of ten protecting a single scientist, and their backs were to us.

Kaila and I let out massive roars that made each guard jump. The first four died before they even turned around, and the next two only got half way before Kaila and I ripped them open. The last of them fell trying to get their hand guns out of their holsters.

I spat out a mans head and turned back around to view the carnage. The previously white hallway was spattered in gore and blood with a liberal sprinkling of limbs and bodies. In the middle stood the scientist, his white coat stained by the innards of his late body guards, but was completely untouched himself. I stalked towards him as he tried, desperately to stop us by repeatedly pressing the red button on his remote, not realizing our collars were lying on the floor of our cell.

I lifted him in the air by his throat and slowly brought his face very close to mine.

"How. Do. We. Get. Out." I said forcefully and I could smell him urinate himself. I must have looked like the devil himself with my black fur covered in gore and blood dripping from my mouth.

"How!" I commanded, shaking him violently, "Don't think I won't kill you or you'll end up like Tera."

His eyes widened and he started to stammer.

"I...I saw, th-there's a camera in the room." He smiled sheepishly, "The guys thought it was quite a show until y-y-you... uh." He could tell I was losing my patience and babbled, "You c-c-can leave through the loading bay, here." he exclaimed as he pointed to a spot on the map on the back of his remote; A small dot appeared there with a line showing the way. I quickly memorized the information

You're not going to kill me, are you?" he asked quietly, and then saw the look in my eyes. I slowly lifted my hand to his throat, deliberately using the same way I had Killed Tera. He started to panic and yelled.

"If you kill me, I can't tell you what we did to her!" he screamed, pointing at Kaila. That one defiantly got my attention.

"What did you do?" I demanded as I shook him more and started to choke him. Kaila watched him through scowling eyes.

"She absorbs genetic information... from sperm cells." he croaked, "She'll change... like you...may be infertile... might be painful." He started blacking out, and I dropped him, to devastated to think.

He hit the ground and drew a big breath, trying to regain air in his lungs. Kaila and I looked at each other, both despaired by the words. Then the scientists recovered and shot off his mouth in over confidence.

"And just because you couldn't keep you pride tucked." he sneered under his breath at a volume he thought I couldn't hear. Despair turned to anger in a flash, and I pounced on him without thinking, the impact breaking most of his ribs and stopping his heart. He was dead before he hit the ground, before he could even scream.

Kaila and I ran while we still had the anger to fuel us, streaming toward the loading dock, barely even noticing the half dozen men we struck down on the way. When I reached the door, I simply ran through it, knocking it off its hinges.

The loading bay was empty except for a single white van, and none other than Dumb and Dumber were leaning on the hood, enjoying a smoke and taunting a small, delicate girl tied to the chair next to them wearing nothing. I could see bruises on her arms and inner legs that she had been abused, probably raped, and I noticed all of this in the time it took for all three humans to even register the fact that the door had just exploded.

Dumb and Dumber whipped around and then wet themselves as I flew across the room at them. I came down gripping Dumber's throat, and Dumb tried to throw a punch, but I just used Dumber as a blunt instrument to knock him into the air. He flew for about four feet before he was caught in mid flight by Kaila, who snapped his neck with her mighty jaws.

Dumber soiled himself further as he recognized me, I could sense that he had seen what they had done to me, and there was no way in hell he'd forget what he did. I growled and whispered to him in a dangerous undertone.

"I've come back for another taste." I growled at him, and I felt him shake with fear. I took his neck in my mouth, and crushed him.

I heard footsteps to my right and turned to se the boss, calmly assessing the situation as always. His cold gaze looked over his two dead underlings, the girl in the chair, and then to Kaila and me. When our eyes met, an understanding passed between us, and he passed me the keys in his hand.

<Kaila, please release the girl.> I thought as I spoke. "Where'd the dog go?" I asked.

"Ran away." He answered as he watched Kaila gently sever the ropes with her claws.

"Smart dog." I murmured. The girl shied away from the great cat, but then Kaila nuzzled her softly and the girl held on to her tightly. The girl could have been even a few months older than me, but I felt so much older now. I turned suddenly on the boss.

"If I hear about any kidnappings, ever again, I'm going to find the kidnappers," I warned him, "and I better not find you with them."

He nodded, but I wasn't sure if that meant he would stop with the kidnapping, or he was going to make sure he wasn't found out. L gestured the girl and Kaila into the van, and we drove off, into the night. As we left, I watched the girl, as scared and naked as I had been what seemed like a life time ago. I promised that I would not let what happened to me happen to anyone else.

Epilogue

In a small, wooden tree house in the deep jungles of the Amazon, I stretched awake, still inside my love. I growled with pleasure as I slid out and sat in bed for a moment to gaze at her. Kaila's mutations had happened slowly, but not unpleasantly, and now instead of a full panther, she was more like me. Her body kept its silken grace and black fur, but now could speak. Her breasts were on her upper chest like a human, and she had only two, but that had been enough.

I slowly got out of bed and put on some shorts quietly as to not wake Kaila, a feat of stealth unsurpassed by any normal being by it self. All through the changes, we had learned to love each other even more, along with how to shoot most guns, how to speak Spanish, and even the local language we jokingly called click-a-nees.

We learned how to help kidnapped children like the girl we met the first day of our new lives. She was now a DC politician who often alerted us to child trafficking rings, which we disrupted regularly.

I stalked to the balcony out of our window and looked out into the jungle. I was a local legend now, the name they gave me translated literally into God's Black Judgment. But that wasn't even the best part.

Kaila woke at a slight noise in the forest and slowly got out of bed, stretching languidly. She saw me and smiled her lovely, toothy smile.

"Good morning, my love." she said out loud. Her voice was by far my favorite new development. It reminded me of sunrises dipped in chocolate, smooth and bright. And that still wasn't the best part.

"Good morning." I told her as I walked back to the bed and held her close. Her scent filled my senses as we stood there, and the world was quiet, a perfect moment. Then the silence was shattered by a single joyous cry that came from a pair of jet-black streaks of fur and laughter.

"Wake up!!" they shouted, as they tackled both Kaila and me, and we all landed in a pile of giggles and fur.

"Ok Mel, we're up." I assured the young panther girl who was now pouncing on my chest next to her brother, Gale who waited patiently with his hunches and tail in the air, waiting to rush off into the kitchen. A charmed smile rolled across my face as I reveled in what was the true joy of my new life: my children.

"Are you all right father?" he asked, curious at one of my seldom seen smiles, and I gave a hearty laugh and held both of the kittens up in the air.

Everything was just fine.
