The Howler's

Chapter 17

     "You lying JERK!" Katy heard Carter yell.

     Katy sprang up, blood rushing from her head, as she gripped Carters hand, and ran with him to a near window. Katy felt Carter tug her back. Berny was grasped onto Carters blue now brown hoodie, clenched teeth. Carter screamed. Katy pushed. At the same moment a tall buff figure stepped out into the room from the stairs. The person had white fur spotted with black like a dalmatian, and his face was incredibly small compared to his body. His shirt was slightly torn, with only a little flap for pants.

     "We have GOT to get out here!" Katy shrieked looking at the pants and tiny head." As soon as possible, please!"

     "I-I'm trying!" Carter yelled, pushing himself slowly to the window with Berny still hanging on. 

     Carter lunged at the window, and his hoodie ripped in two, showing his bare chest. With a shrieking crash the window shattered into tiny fragments, hitting Katy square in the nose, and one piece deep into her arm. Carters falling scream started to fade. How tall was this place? Katy jumped to the window, not quite fully getting through, and she had to crawl out the window, until something grabbed her ankle. She was dragged back, and something hit her hard in the head, and she was out, clean.

     

     It was dark under her eye-lids. That meant the lights were off- Bling! Suddenly a bright light got to her, making her tug her eyes closed even more. Then she opened them, squinting, to see a window-less room with black walls. She flinched, finding out she was half naked (only under-wear and top) and her wrists were chained to the wall. A lamp stared at her, making her blinded to whoever was in front of her.

     "You awake, girly?" A un-believably deep voice spoke.

     Katy merely flinched again at the voice.

     "I've been watching you." The voice said again." Such a nice body..."

     Katy snorted, fear tumbling in her belly.

     "Ah, but that's not the point, is it?" The man came to a more serious voice now." I have to ask you some questions..."

     Katy spat on the floor and growled." I will never answer those questions!"

     "How un-polite of you, young lady! I guess I'll need to spank you out of it,"

     Katy wrestled with the chains more violently, trying to free herself. Her heart was so loud it felt as if it were going to rip out of her chest.

     "W-who are you..asshole?" Katy spat." Where's Carter, where am I?!"

     "Let's make a deal," The person said." You answer my questions, I answer yours,"

     "What if I chose not to?" Katy's voice shivered.

     "Well...there will be consequences," The man said.

     "What consequences?!"

     The deep voice laughed loudly. Katy heard someone standing up and walking to here. The light was finally dimmed and she could see the man. He was the same person who was there at Berny's house to collect them...or kill them.

     "Who was Berny?" Katy frantically asked.

     "Just a decoy..." The man replied snuffing out Katy's neck.

     Katy flinched again, trying to move away." I- you- get away from me!"

     "Ha ha..."

     The man continued to violate Katy's personal space, giving her a creepy uncomfortable chill that ran down her spine.

     "OKAY!" Katy bellowed." Enough! I'll answer those questions!"

     The man backed away slowly and chuckled." I knew it you'd give up,"

     Katy looked away, growling." Fuck you,"

     "First question," The man started." What do you know of Tooth?"

     "I- I know nothing..." Katy stammered.

     What if Katy gave it away? What would happen?

     "Are you sure?" The man asked again.

     "Completely sure," 

     "Then how do you come to know this man by name?" The man questioned.

     "He..was my- our leader, for...a clan, I guess," Katy glared at the ceiling.

     "Oh? And what clan may that be? LeakHum Clan?" 

     "LeakHu- what's that? I never knew the name of the Clan!" Katy snarled.

     "Oh, well," The man growled.

     The man walked to Katy, and unlocked her chains.

     Katy instantly went into action. She lept high into the air, and kicked the little head in the nose, knocking him over. He yelled in anger, and charged at Katy as she jumped down. She jumped out of the way, crashing into a corner. Her arm screamed in agony, with a deep cut in stitches broke apart, thick blood drooling down her arm. Clenching her teeth tight, she looked over to where the man was. He jumped at her, flexed muscles and determined face. Katy yelped and ducked, but the mans knee jutted her in the face. 

     She gasped. It was painful as ever. Her mind was fogged up with pain, and she careful touched her forehead. She winced, feeling a great amount of blood. She was up against a Minotaur. Dumb, careless, but awfully strong. Then she realized, she was partly naked, and her mind went bizarre. She curled up. Fighting in a bikini? She was embarrassed and cold. Pain crept throughout her body. 

     Suddenly the man puffing for breath, squealed like a pig and kneeled to the floor, as he swore in pain. A door was open, with a tall slender...handsome?....man with a wolf tail, and blonde hair. 

     "CARTER!"

     Carter smiled at Katy, blood coming from his cheek as he held a crowbar." First guardian down,"

     Carter swung the bloody crowbar down on the mans head.
