Nanbaka- inmate 17 is a girl?!

Chapter 9

"You bitch!" Nadia roared, pulling against the black chains that held her down. Eyes ablaze with a furious fire. Nails digging into the skin of her hands as she struggled to charge forward to the smirking figure in front of her. Luna only stared at the ravenette girl. A sadistic look in her eyes as she sat cross legged in front of her. Tears were beginning to form in Nadia's eyes, her screams turning desperate and frustrated.
"You can't escape." Luna practically sang in joy, crawling forward to sit mere inches from the girl's reach. Nadia stilled, leaning forwards, hair covering her face and shadowing her features. "You're weak. Pathetic. You couldn't kill me even if you were unshackled. I'm a part of you. The part that grew in the darkness all those years locked away in that pit! You created me! You made me to protect you! And here you are trying to get rid of me, just because a few worthless scumbags showed you a bit of affection! You useless piece of shit!" Luna's smirk turned into an insane expression. Her eyes bulging from their sockets, spit flying from her mouth as her voice rose to ungodly levels. "You need me! I'm all you need!"
"Shut up..." Nadia muttered, grimacing in pain as Luna grabbed the girl by her hair, jerking her head back.
"What did you say?!"
"SHUT UP! You stupid, insane bitch! All you've ever done is cause me pain! You kill everything I love and replace it with misery! I've had enough!" Nadia raged, her shackles seeming to slack as she launched to her feet and kicked Luna away. The white haired girl surprised as she held her chest. Coughing up blood. Nadia now stood hands clenched at her sides as she pulled at her chains. Face shadowed as she began to shake her chains in a repeated rhythm, one that became frightening, foreboding. Panic set off in Luna's eyes as she screamed holding out her hand, the shackles yanking Nadia back with such a force, she could have broken her arms. Both arm forced back until they were stretched behind her back. Pain racked her body, forcing her to take a knee.

Groaning in pain, Nadia moved to stand back up, Luna struggling to her own feet in front of her. Holding her chest in pain.
"You can't kill me!" Luna hissed. "I am you! You kill me, you kill yourself!"
"I don't care!" Nadia screeched as she staggered to her feet again. Flexing her arms in her restraints. "I don't care if I die trying to save the people I love! You're a monster! Disgusting! Cruel! You don't deserve to exist in this world! You call me weak! Pathetic! Yet I'm the one who fought you for years! Keeping you locked away! You don't even have a body! You are a parasite! I don't need you! You need me!You. Are. Nothing!" Nadia screeched, her words making something snap in Luna's mind. The white haired girl screaming like a banshee as her eyes turned pure black. Nails turning to claws as she charged from across the void. Nadia only growling as finally she felt the strength to break Luna's hold. Snapping the chains like they were merely sticks as she chased forward with her own scream. Her eyes seeming to take on a golden glow as she leapt in the air and collided with Luna in a fierce flurry of nails, teeth, and fists.

Jyugo woke with a start. A gasp escaping his lips as he sat bolt up right, his eyes swimming in pure panic and disorientation. Wincing in pain as a searing pain exploded in his wrist.
"Jyugo!" A voice called out. Before he could move he was tackled into a hug. Surprised, he peeked down to see Nico buried into his chest. Hearing following steps, he peered up to see Rock and Uno gazing down worried at him.
"What happened?" Jyugo rasped, his voice croaky from being knocked out. His brows furrowing at the unfamiliar surroundings. "Where are we?"
"Hajime came back with you unconscious over his shoulder, along with Doc." Rock started.
"You're arm was bleeding, you looked really pale. Hajime said Nadia attacked you. Said we should bring you here." Uno carried on. "We in a hidden room. Only the supervisors know about it. Hajime left a while ago to warn the other supervisors and to make sure Nadia doesn't escape."
"Nadia..." Jyugo muttered as the events finally flashed in his mind. The pain he felt, the crushing pressure, the monster that laid in Nadia's place. "That wasn't Nadia."
"What?" Nico asked not quite hearing what the black haired male said.
"That wasn't Nadia!" Jyugo shouted this time, jerking up from his bed and pacing around the room, looking for a way out. "It wasn't Nadia! Nadia would never do that!"
"Jyugo! What's going on?" Uno interrogated, hands crossed over his chest.
"Something is hurting Nadia! When I saw her, she didn't look herself. It was like she was an entirely different person. Her hair had turned partially white and her eyes were silver! That wasn't Nadia who attacked me! It was a demon- or-or something!" Jyugo shouted, shocking his friends as they stood wide eyed. "We have to go help her! We need to get her back."
"I understand! But Hajime locked the door, and we can't just leave Doc behind." Rock gestured to the still unconscious Otogi on the floor.
"He safer here than anywhere else! We don't have a choice!" Jyugo turned to pacing again. "Where's the damn door!?"
"Here." Nico pointed out as he stood by a well hidden door that seemed to blend in with the walls of the room. Quickly unlocking it, Jyugo turned to his friends.
"Let's go!" He called as he ran from the room. Everyone following behind, closing the door to keep Doc safe and hidden.

"Ahh!" Hajime yelled as he was thrown through a wall in the infirmary. Holding his shoulder in pain, breath knocked from his lungs as he laid slouched against the wall, panting for air. In front of him stood Nadia. Her eyes changing between gold and silver. Her hair still half white, half black and her skin still deathly pale.
"If you won't accept me! Then I'll kill everyone!" Her voice wasn't natural. It was like a screech with an unearthly echo.
"Leave them alone!" Nadia's voice shone through for a second as she grabbed her own hair and threw herself against a wall. Struggling with herself as Hajime looked on in fear and confusion. The girl screamed at herself as her nails scraped down her face, leaving deep wounds.
"Hajime!" A voice called out. Turning, Hajime saw the inmates sprinting towards him down the hall.
"No!" Hajime wheezed. "Get back!" But it was too late, Nadia seemed to have noticed them as she screeched in anger, rushing forward, only to slam herself into a wall.
"Run!" Hajime shouted as he stumbled to his feet and ran towards the boys, jumping over Nadia's grasping claws. The group started running for their lives as they heard yet another terrifying screech leave the girl's lips. The sound of her heavy steps chasing them down the hall, forcing adrenaline through their blood and laboured breaths to leave their lungs as they sprinted harder. The odd sound of the girl throwing herself into walls with sickening cracks and thuds causing a shiver to run down the boys spines. They needed to get away. They couldn't let her catch them.
