Day of Reckoning (KAT/CLINIC)

[knox]

Knox was unaware as they dressed him and dragged him off out of the clinic and into the woods, completely out of it. He was really beginning to hate the people of Orealis and wanted nothing more than to get away.. Except now he couldn't. He couldn't just leave Kat the way she was... he couldn't do it. No, now he had to find a way to save her ass. It was almost an hour later that he regained conciousness, lying nearly facedown in the forest with his bags tossed beside him. He tried to move but still couldn't due to the drugs lingering in his system. Thirty minutes later and he'd passed back out.

Almost five hours after they'd thrown him out into the woods he rolled onto his back in his sleep, the sudden movement startled him awake. He sat up quickly and had to lie back down because of the headrush from having been laying down for so long. He took in several deep breathes, moving his fingers and toes in astonishment. "I can move!" He said aloud, though barely as his throat was too dry to allow it. Once he was sure he wouldn't pass out from standing he pushed himself to his feet and checked his bags to be sure nothing was missing. Thankfully nothing was. His gun was back into his waistband though the clip was empty and the extra mag in his pocket was gone. His knife was still in his pocket, though his favorite blade -the one that usually sat in his boot- was missing. Stupid doctor.

He had to debate now.. Would they have released her? Could she be back at the house or was she still inside the clinic? He took in several deep breaths before deciding. Sure he was closer to the clinic, but it was a smarter plan to go back to the house, restock on ammo and get something in his stomach before he passed out again.. Then come back to the clinic if he needed to. Without any further hesitation he grabbed his bags and set off at a run toward the house, keeping out of sight of the citizens milling about the streets.

[Katerina Night]

Kat right after the hit to the side of her head and than feeling something piercing her skin saw nothing but black. She didn't even register being picked up, undressed, or anything else that was going on with her. Sure she had heard Knox when she opened the door which still had her wondering just what the hell was going on. But before she could even try and process anything it all went blank.

The beeping in the background didn't even work to wake her as of yet and just like Knox had. Kat's mind suddenly started playing dreams for her that would most surely haunt the woman from that moment on.

Dream Kat at first was seeing nothing but darkness before it slowly began to grow lighter and lighter till the house her and Knox stayed at came into focus. Narrowing her eyes she moved to take a step forward before freezing when voices well shouting voices came from inside. At first she couldn't make out who it was but than the front door was thrown open and a very older looking Knox came storming out. His face was more defined, his body well was still something that could make her desire him.

But his eyes...his eyes were distant and the red hand print on his cheek she very much saw. Though just as she was wondering what happen noted a much older self coming out. Dream Kat had to blink her eyes while looking at what she guessed was her future self. She was about the same her body was still tone, lean and beautiful, the hair was along longer and her face was slightly more defined as well. Older Kat was yelling at Knox yet she couldn't make out anything being said.

Even when she moved to get closer it was still silence that met her and she sighed. It wasn't till Older Knox wheeled around glaring at Older Kat before stricking her on the cheek that she jumped back. "He...he hit me?" The realization had her just unsure what to think. Knox had never hit her even when they fought. What was worse is that the force had knocked the Older Kat down and he was now hovering over her still yelling.

She saw the hatred building in her own eyes for the man and she desperately wanted to know what he was saying. Why they were fighting. It made her stomach tighten to think they might become like that if they weren't already.

As she let out another breath a flicker of sound slipped suddenly on and she was able to make out some of the words. "Lousy whore, worthless excuse of a mother" The words hit her hard even if this was just a dream and she screamed out in pain and anger although the two couldn't hear her. Yet suddenly it dawned on her he called her mother and she briefly wondered when she ever had kids.

Suddenly everything going black again and she was soon seeing the forest, the very spot her and him and first decided to have some fun. It had her smiling only briefly before once more seeing the older pair of herself and Knox appearing. Only this time holding hands and smiling up at one another as if they were the only two people in the world. It had her stomach fluttering and she wasn't sure how to take it. Neither of them had ever showing that kind of emotion to the other yet she was seeing it right now. Briefly wondering if it was even possible, hearing the sounds and smiling. "I love you Knox""I love you Kat and our baby."

Dream Kat felt the tears welling in her eyes unsure what to think of the two very different scenes. Preferring the new one at least till she noticed blood coming through her Older self's top around where the baby she carried was. And another scream ripped from her throat before she instinctively wrapped her own arms around herself. Hearing her older self screaming as well before collapsing in pain on the ground. Yet that wasn't to be the worse part it was the look in Older Knox's eyes that. The light, love was gone and it it's place was hatred.

He just stood over her with this smile that made her shiver and step back out unconscious. Staring at the older Kat screaming out in pain for help and the older Knox just laughing. Although a glint of something caught her eyes before screams pierced the air and she suddenly blacked out once more.

[CLINIC]

Once both nurses had gotten back into the room, Johunas had left Kat alone so they could all begin. Forgetting quickly and easily about that worthless male they just threw out, though he was still pissed at the results. But than his mind shifted to Markus and possible having some nice experiments with that male and the Fala once he figured out how to bring her in. That one was going to be a hard case to begin with.

But he pushed that aside as the girls got Kat prep and ready before he took his place. It would take a few hours making sure of a few things before he was completely satisfied and knew there was no way she wasn't going to be carrying. Of course keeping her under the whole time and even afterwards.

Kat would be like Knox kept drugged and unable to move thanks to the binds. No doubt in her condition she was going to be out for a few hours. Though before leaving the three jerked back around to her sudden movements before catching the screams that ripped from her throat. It was Johunas who just smiled having an idea what was happening and finding it rather fitting. "Leave her...she's dreaming and I can guess about what." Come we have things to do."

[knox]

The run back to the house was pretty much hell since his legs still felt a little like dead weight and his lungs ached to catch a decent breath. He was panting heavily by the time he reached the house. As Knox stepped inside his breath caught, looking around at the mess inside. So Johunas was right.. Kat was pretty pissed that he'd left. It was easy to see that the house was a mess, that she'd obviously raged out and broken things in a bit of a tantrum like rage. The bags dropped with a muffled thump at his feet as he took in a slow breath and released it before moving into the kitchen. He grabbed something small to eat out of the fridge and stood against the counter for a moment before needing something more to do while he ate.

So as he popped bites of the parfait Kat had made the day before into his mouth he cleaned the kitchen, straightening things around before moving to do the same in the living room as he at. Still starving and feeling dizzy he found leftover steak in the fridge. Instead of warming it up he just took bites from the cold meat while he moved upstairs to try and find the ammo that he'd left for Kat and maybe one or two of her knives. The bedroom looked the worst of all.

A sigh slipped out as he cleaned, this time out of necessity. He had to find the ammo. He didn't have much of a choice. As he tore into the steak with his teeth and a ravenous hunger, he cleaned. Putting things back in their natural place and realizing that the curtains and bedding where now junk, hell a couple of springs in the mattress were showing through now. He stripped the bedding and threw it into the corner of the room then lifted the matress to look underneath, finding one of Kat's daggers there. A smirk pulled at his lips as he tucked the blade into his boot then flipped the mattress over.

He couldn't find any of the ammo upstairs, even though he cleaned everything up. Next stop the den.. hell.. last stop. If there was none there then he would have to go steal from the ammo shop. He really didn't care if he had to knock someone out to get it. Knox sighed as he straightened up the den, it seemed like the least damage done in the house was here in the den. Nothing was torn or broken, just a few things moved around from their time in there. He hovered in the doorway as the 'happy' memories of their time here hit him. I swear I'll get you out, Kat. He thought as he closed the door again. The ammo obviously wasn't in there.

A heavy breath was released through his nose as he moved back to the kitchen and grabbed the last leftover steak from the fridge and began tearing into it. When he was back in the living room he grabbed his bags, yanking them close and dumping their contents onto the floor to sift through and look for anything he might have hidden in there.. Nothing. He kicked out at the pile of his clothes on the floor, sending them flying around the room with a groan then collapsed back against the couch. Unintentional as it was, Knox fell asleep as he sat there chewing at the steak. He must still have had a hint of the drugs within his system because no sooner had he relaxed back against the couch than the piece of steak in his hand flopped onto his chest as he relaxed and went into unconciousness. At least when he fell asleep of his own volition he didn't have to worry about horrible dreams.

[Katerina Night]

The doctor had been right, Kat was indeed out for several hours her dreams almost making it impossible to sleep. But some how she manage or maybe it was just that she was already in a sleep like state. But when she began coming around honestly didn't feel like she had any rest, her body was weak and felt heavy. Or so she had thought before finally realizing that she wasn't able to move because of the chains and straps. A feral growl ripping through her chest as he attempted to try and jerk, but she just couldn't find any strength.

Letting her droopy eyes try and look about the room to see if anything looked familiar. Before it all came back. She was at the clinic, Knox had brought her here to help save two girls. But than betrayed her...no wait. Knox was chained up to a table, but than if Knox was already at the clinic who was the male with her? Nothing made much sense at the moment she wasn't sure what to believe and not believe.

The more she woke up the clearer things became like the pain her her body. Also the numbness and she hissed out wondering what happen, than again learning she was naked didn't set her mind to calm much. Infact it pissed her off and worried her even more though she could do nothing about it. Taking in a breath trying to see if anything was familiar, but with all the disinfecting, medical smells she couldn't make out much else.

But before Kat could have time to think of anything else the door was swung open and as she tried to look. A growl slipped through her lips, Knox stood smirking in the doorway at her. But it wasn't that smirk which worried her, it was the look in his eyes than again the fact his hands were hidden. And she tired to break the holds as he came in wanting nothing more than to rip him apart.

But as the door slammed shut and was locked she glared obviously knowing something she wouldn't like was about to take place.

[CLINIC]

v=Johunas still using his Knox appearance found great pleasure in letting Katerina know exactly who it was incharge. Her screams would echo through the clinic walls making both Marcy and Libby smirk some. A few blood chilling wails would also pierce the air from a punishment Kat had received that under normal circumstances would of had her shifting. But with the amount of drugs she could barely stay awake let along shift and attacking.

Which was just what Johunas wanted, a submissively, weak woman at his mercy. It had the man smiling watching the blood seep out form the wound to her leg before he was leaning over and lapping it up like cream. Noticing the shiver from the woman and smirked, "Have you learned yet Kat...I get everything, everyone I want how I want them. And those who try and resist will be punished, so I recommend you give in. After all we soon are going to be parents my dear."

Leaning in close to her ear as he spoke that last part feeling her go tense than limp. When he pulled back noticed she had passed out and smiled, allowing for the last time at least today his hands to caress over her nude form. Yea he was sick, twisted and having a great many plans for the blond. Laughing out before he once again vanished from the room.

[knox]

Knox awoke several hours later, sitting up and stretching his arms high above his head, the steak that had rested on his chest slipped to the floor with a muffled thud. For a moment he thought the whole ordeal at the clinic had been nothing more than a severely messed up nightmare and then he looked around the living room. The couch still had long gashes in it from Kat's tantrum this morning and he sighed, knowing it couldn't have been a dream and that Kat wasn't out in the yard or sitting in the den waiting for him to wake back up.

He remembered easily where she was and what was going on. Knox let out a heavy breath as he lurched to his feet, checking that the knife was still in his pocket, the dagger in his boot and the gun in his waistband along the way. The living room was dimly lit, signifying the coming evening. Great, just what he needed, to mount some sort of attack at night on the clinic... then again maybe he'd be able to get in and out while Libby, Marcy and Johunas were sleeping. Maybe, but he doubted it. Without another look around the house, Knox lurched out the front door and down the lawn into the trees. He ran full tilt through the forest back into town, heading straight for the small ammo shop that was now closed for the evening. Thankfully most people were off the streets and at home doing whatever they needed, meant less eyes on him and less questions about what the hell he was doing. Good. He didn't need more questions.

He wasn't cautious at all, from the times he and Kat had already broken into the Weapons shop he knew that there wasn't an alarm on the building. He rushed around to the backdoor and popped the lock open before slipping inside. It was dark, but that wasn't much of a problem really. Knox moved quietly and carefully through the store to look around for what he needed before he'd mount an attack on the clinic to get Kat back.

[Katerina Night]

After Knox/Johunas had left Kat was pretty much out cold for quite a while thanks to the hell he put her through. No less with her being drugged and unable to move so wasn't much of a challenge if he was looking for one. He'd managed to crack if not fracture a few ribs from when he punched her, the leg he sliced open and was feeding from was still very much open. The bruises were already appearing around her face from him not appreciating her back talk.

So at the moment she was in alot more pain than she really needed and still wasn't aware of being impregnanted. Just that Knox or maybe not Knox or hell she wasn't even sure now. She slightly remembered two Knox's and didn't even know what to think, the girl was confused and pissed beyond anything. Her pain was making all of this worse and she wanted to move get out of there and try to tend to herself. A light growl slipping from her lips seeing the lights off, no other heartbeats in the place and having a feeling they all left. Leaving her alone for the night. But not much she could do wasn't like she was in any shape to break the hell out. Couldn't even if she wasn't in pain the drugs alone kept her passive.

Plus she had to believe the damn doctor wouldn't of left the place without some kind of security.

[knox]

He wasn't long at all within the weapons shop, just long enough to throw a fresh clip into his gun and stock a few into his pockets as well as grab a couple of new blades so that he could return Kat's to her later. Once he was fully stocked, or at least felt better about going into the clinic, he darted out the backdoor and closed it behind him before taking off through the alleys to make his way toward the clinic. Knox didn't much care about stealth at this point, he just cared about getting Kat the hell out of that place before something happened to her. He was hoping that so far nothing that couldn't be taken care of quickly would have.

A few cuts and scrapes were easy enough to handle, broken bones sucked but could be handled with ease. He was hoping that Johunas hadn't succeeded yet with his master plan... that wasn't as easily dealt with. Praying silently as the chocolate gaze scanned the back alley for any of the clinic workers before darting up to the back door. Licking at his lips to wet them, Knox took in a slow breath as he pulled the gun from his waistband, double checked that the clip was in place and cocked it for firing if needed. He amost prayed that it would come to it, almost prayed that Johunas or Libby and Marcy would show their face so that he could put an extra hole in their heads.

He made quick work of the alarm to disable it, then sucked in a quick breath and yanked open the door to step inside. He could pick up on all the scents of the day, following his nose toward Kat's. He couldn't trust to follow his own scent since he knew Johunas had smelled almost like him for a better part of the day and because he didn't know how far from where he'd been held it was to where Kat was at now. Knox noted that he didn't pick up on anyone else being around, that he could only hear one heartbeat beyond his own within the building. It gave him a faint hope to be honest.

He followed both Kat's scent and the sound of the heartbeat, pausing for only a second outside of her door before pushing it open, the gun still held in front of him in case he needed to fire off a round or two, though saw none but Kat, nude and beaten, lying on the bed. "Shit.." He whispered before rushing to the side of her bed. "Kat.. Baby, can you hear me?" He asked, his hand reaching out to touch her cheek before drawing back. He remembered what Johunas had said about how much she hated him right now and bit down on his lower lip. Without hesitation he tucked the gun back into his waistband and moved to pull the IV's from her arm before unchaining her from the table. He'd spotted her clothes folded neatly on the smal counter and carefully worked them onto her unconcious form.

Again, he didn't care about stealth, if someone happened to walk in on him then he would gladly put a bullet between their eyes. So he wasn't quiet as he worked to dress her. A hand carefully brushed back through the blonde curls, "told you I'd come back for you.." he whispered. Of course he hadn't said it aloud, but it had been in his thoughts. Without waiting for another moment he scooped the girl into his arms and headed toward the exit. Still he couldn't pick up on any sounds from the building that would alert him to someone else being here, which he took as a good sign. Trying to carry an unconcious female and fire a gun at the same time just wouldn't work.

[Katerina Night]

She wasn't able with the pain, the drugs to keep herself awake for very long. Plus she was hoping to not have any more horrible nightmares like she did, that one still scared the crap out of her. Taking in slow breaths a few whimpers from her lips when the pain would hit again and she had to allow it to subside before relaxing again. Unaware that Knox was coming, she was too out of it to pick up on anything right now.

When he opened the door, she didn't react much beyond whimpers and a few growls. Partly registering or maybe it was her mind taking in the words and she wasn't in a very accepting mood. But as the I.V was pulled out, the bonds holding her taken off she felt her body just want to collapse more. Whimpering out and trying to shift away when he began moving to dress her. The pain wasn't helping and she wanted it gone. Wanted whatever was causing it to hurt more to leave. "No...it hurts stop...please...I can't take much more..." Barely conscious still having too much of the drugs in her to come out fully. It would more or less be like his own minus the added blood loss and damage.

Crying out softly when he got her dressed and picked her up, the tears even while she was out slipping from her eyes. Not even able to hold onto anything and was like a dead weight in his arms. Leaning some against his chest not able or wasn't wanting to register the scent around her right now.

[knox]

"I know... I know." He whispered in return when she moaned out for him to stop. He just wanted to get her dressed quickly and get her the hell out of here. He moved carefully as they exited the building, mostly just to make sure that no one was going to sneak up behind him, though once they were outside in the cool night air he pulled her closer to his chest and took off at a run back through the darkened alleys and empty streets toward the forest that would lead them home.

Even though the run was exhausting he didn't bother to let the demon come out. No, it was his fault she was in this damned predicament, so he should be the one suffering and having to carry her dead weight all the way home with no help. That was punishment. He would also take whatever she threw at him without complaint.. That was punishment.

Knox relaxed slightly as they made it through the trees and he could see the house in front of him, though didn't stop running until he'd reached the door. He shifted her carefully in his arms to reach out and opened the door, but instead of taking her up the stairs to the bedroom he carried her to the den and laid her on the couch there, since the bedding upstairs was torn to hell and all. Once she was settled on the couch he covered her up and moved to the kitchen to make her a sandwich for when she awoke and could move again before laying it on the table in front of her with a napkin covering it to keep bugs off. A faint sigh slipped past his lips as he left the room, closing the door most of the way on his way out and then collapsed back onto the couch in the living room, fully exhausted again. He'd remain there until she came out of the den, even if it wasn't until morning or three days from now. Until she was ready to talk to him, he wouldn't bother her.

[Katerina Night]

Kat couldn't help the faint noises everything was hurting and she just wanted it to stop, to go away. She wasn't even sure what all was going on or did and just couldn't think about it at the moment. Allowing the pain to pretty much take over and she would indeed black out, especially once he began running. It was far better to not be awake and feel the pain from the movement.

Not registering when they got to the house or her body being laid on the couch and covered. She was out and it was probably for the best since she really needed to recover and sleep would help. Now the question is would she have the nightmares again or be free from them? Guess all she could do was hope nothing much one can do about when or how the nightmares come.
