Bad Kitty
investigate. Frustration
clouded her thought processes. She just wanted to know what was
going on. Her eyes started to burn and she steeled her emotions
against them. You will not fucking cry.
Those feline bitches did this to you. No matter what
happens , you will
not cry. They do not deserve the satisfaction.
    Kitty pulled and thrashed in a desperate
attempt to get some traction. After struggling for several minutes,
she gave her body a break. Whatever mysterious shit she'd gotten
into wasn't about to let her move. It would take her mind and will
together to get her through this mess. She blew out a hard breath
at that thought. She was sick and tired of being kicked down. Never
in a million years would she have dreamed her life would come to
this. She had nothing to show for her twenty-six years except
shame, scandal and a wealth of hatred that festered inside her.
    With everything she'd ever known stripped
away from her, she no longer had purpose. It had been easy to
follow her father's direction all her life while struggling to get
her own way at every turn. She didn't care that her efforts
backfired more often than they succeeded. That life had purpose,
warped as it was.
    For the first time in her life she wished
for a new life, one that didn't include shifters and their
self-righteous beliefs. It didn't matter that she'd been well on
board with her ass backwards culture until recently. Something else
had always called to her, something different. She just had to
figure out what it was.
    If she survived.
    Dream or not, everything fucking hurt. As
far as she could tell, every inch of her body had been damaged,
inside and out. She had to escape the pain or go mad. Fortunately,
or maybe unfortunately, a memory of her father drifted into her
mind. As a cub she'd been no stranger to fights. The aggressive
hormones that would later guide her direction were a major hurdle
as a young girl. Every time someone annoyed her she simply wanted
to scratch their eyes out. One particular summer, some of the other
felines had begun stalking her. After weeks of being taunted, Kitty
had grown tired of their games and decided to fight back. It hadn't
been easy taking on the older girls, but it had been worth every
ache and pain. Until she'd arrived home.
    At the sight of her
battered body, her father had gone into one of his many rages.
She'd never doubted where her temper came from. She thought he
would be proud she'd stood up for herself. Oh
boy , had she been
wrong. He'd dragged her by the hair through the entire clan until
he'd made her apologize to each and every girl in front of a
growing crowd.
    "No daughter of mine will ever behave like
common trash. You ever embarrass me like this again and I'll make
you regret you were born." Those barbed words were hurled at her
heart moments before he threw her inside a small cage barely big
enough for her to turn around in.
    "Since you feel the need to act like a
common animal then I'll treat you like one." The click of the lock
that had held her captive turned her stomach and caused a deep yowl
to burst from her throat. Her father turned his sharp gaze on her
and narrowed his eyes.
    "Don't even think about
retribution , little girl. The more you act out , the more I'll come down on you.
I've got plenty of ways to make you suffer for each and every act
of rebellion. Think about that tonight when you're cold and hungry
and maybe tomorrow you'll have a different attitude." With his
final hateful words, and the emotionless look in his eyes, her
father turned away from her and climbed the stairs from the
sound-proofed basement underneath their cabin. As darkness engulfed
her, fear had crawled along her skin and tears burned behind her
eyes. Somehow she'd held them in. The instinct to fight or flee
that she struggled with on a daily basis had diminished in the days
to follow.
    Once a day her father had climbed down the
stairs, shone a bright white light in her face and asked her the
same question. "Are
