18 December 2003 - Ok, what next?

Christina

Christina's breath left her in an 'oomph' as she was dumped on the floor of the abandoned labratory. She wriggled around slightly in the dust to sit up, watching Sabretooth as he brought supplies down into the room and left again. The kitten that had spent most of the trip from wherever to here, watched her with brilliant emerald eyes.

Suddenly, it wasn't a little kitten anymore, but a little girl with dirty blonde hair and green eyes.

Christina made a gurgle of surprise around the gag and tried to merge with the white wall behind her.

Sabretooth dropped another box on the ground and sighed, looking at Victory.

"I thought I told you not to shift where strangers can see you. Doesn't matter anyway cos she's not getting out of this alive to tell anyone."

Christina watched him with fearful eyes. Victory pouted then smiled at Sabretooth.

"Sorry, Dad. Sometimes two legs is best."

"Mmph."

Sabretooth went to finish setting up for the months they would be living there. Victory padded over to Christina and crouched by the woman, looking at her curiously.

"Dad told me not to tell you anything. That you're a job he didn't want to have to take. He doesn't like that man."

Who did? Christina thought, staring at the sombre child.

"But I guess we'll have to make sure you live until the baby is born. But I think we might be better off killing you now. This makes my fur rise."

Victory sighed and ran her hand through her hair before going to one of the boxes. She dug through it for a bit and retreved a doll. She settled to playing with it, making it walk and talk, ignoring Christina completely. Which was fine with Christina.
