Kanti had legitimately no clue where she was going, but the humans
that saw her were absolutely screaming. She knew why, since
they were at a zoo only to see creatures like her, but
definitely not get this close. She glanced behind her to find that
there were more people chasing after her. One of them got
dangerously close but Kanti leapt away from his lunge, turning a
corner sharply.
*~*~*~*
"In there! Go go go!" The woman howled. Guards surrounded the shed,
tasers and guns pointed.
*~*~*~*
A few staff members saw Andromeda. One of them looked at her. "Uhm.
Miss, are you and your son lost?"
Kat looked around wildly to find something, anything to help him.
He then sighed, and growled. Turning into a tiger once more, he
shook the exhaustion that crept into his vision. The wound on his
shoulder was beginning to bleed once more. Kat then launched
himself out of the shed, and took one of the humans down.
--
Yukio looked at the stranger silently, and nodded. He shook a non
see through water bottle that he pulled from his bag, and had in
his hands now.
The staff member frowned. "Nice try. You need a key to get in
here," He raised his eyebrows. A few more staff members crowded
around the three.
*~*~*~*
The human that was taken down squealed. "Get him!" The woman
commanded. The ones with tasers fired at Kat.
*~*~*~*
Kanti's eyes widened as she realized that she was rapidly
approaching a dead end. She tried to pick up the pace, thinking
there was an extremely slim chance to get out if she jumped
off the wall, but one of the guards finally managed to lunge and
grab her paw, making her trip.
"Keep firing! Don't let him get away!" The woman shouted, and more
tasers kept coming. "Don't shoot him!"
*~*~*~*
The staff member looked thoughtful. He glanced to the door they had
just locked. "...Then why did you lock that door?"
*~*~*~*
Kanti grunted and kicked the one who grabbed her foot desperately,
trying to scratch his face. More guards surrounded them and soon
she was on the opposite end of every taser and gun of them.
Kat growled, and tried to flee the area, but a taser soon got him
on his injured shoulder. The electricity that came from the weapon
made him fell to the ground. He then shut his eyes tight and winced
in new found pain. I failed....I allowed these morons to capture
me, and now... he began, and looked at the humans throw slitted
eyes. "What will they do to me...?" he growled in fear.
Andromeda replied without skipping a beat, " I thought this was the
bathroom? I locked it behind me as a reflex, " she explained. "
Look, I'm sorry, obviously I'm in the wrong place. Could you show
us the way out of here, it's quite the maze, " she said, smiling.
Yukio nodded, and looked at the custodian with suspicion. He then
looked up as he heard noises coming from the Arctic exhibit. A
stranger then whispered lowly. "We got the fox, and the tiger"
Yukio froze, "Kat, and Kanti!" He said involuntarily, and jumped to
the ground.
The woman nodded and they picked up the stunned Kat, bringing him
into a larger door.
(Pfft I'll figure out what to do for THAT, but I do have something
in mind...)
*~*~*~*
Kanti whimpered and looked at them. They didn't even come close to
flinching as one of them shot the taser, shocking her. Her vision
blurred and she fell to the ground.
*~*~*~*
The staff member looked around and nodded. "Out the way you came-"
He paused, hearing Yukio. "Get them!"
Two of the staff members that had crowded around them tackled
Andromeda, while another one simply scooped up Yukio in two arms.
" NO! " Andromeda snarled as she transformed under the throng of
guards. She twisted and flayed, tearing flesh and clothing alike
from the people who held her down.
Yukio struggled in the stranger's arms. He dropped the water
bottle, and watered down hot sauce fell out of it, and not the
ground. Yukio then growled, and transformed into a lion cub
scratching, and biting hoping t get a hit in.
--
Kat growled, and tried to stop the woman, but he couldn't move.
Someone was way ahead of that guard and grabbed the
tranquilizer, shooting Andromeda. The one with Yukio simply held
him by the scruff away from him.
*~*~*~*
The ones carrying Kanti took her to the same place Kat was. They
looked at the other guards and nodded, leaving the two in cages
(though Kanti's was considerably smaller than Kat's, with good
reason).
Andromeda had a guard's arm in a vice grip, blood seeping out from
between her teeth. She struggled to stand as the effects of the
drug began to seep in. She growled and her eyes widened as she saw
Yukio get scooped up, but her limbs wouldn't listen to her.
Yukio whimpered, and struggled to get free, but in the end all his
struggles did was spin him in circles as the stranger held his
scruff. He froze in fear, and stopped struggling when he saw
Andromeda collapse.
~
Kat growled, and struggled to move while in the cage. His tail
finally flicked as the effects of the taser wore off.
Kanti was still panting; she had easily run at least halfway across
the zoo in that chase, and she wasn't exactly sure how the humans
could even dream of running that distance that fast on two
legs.
*~*~*~*
The one holding Yukio looked at the others. I got lucky. He
thought, seeing the bloodied arm of one of the others. He was
cussing up a storm as a few more very carefully picked Andromeda
up; she and Yukio were brought to the same place.
Lucia growled faintly, watching them from a distance. She spotted
the one taking Andromeda and Yukio and hesitated before remaining
human. It was less likely for her to be attacked that way. Come
on Lucy.. Think! She smacked herself on the forehead. She had o
do something! But what?
Andromeda's head was in a daze, unable to even keep her eyes open.
She tasted the blood in her mouth. At least that one won't
forget me..., she thought through the haze in her head.
Yukio looked around his cage, and whimpered when he saw Kat, and
Kanti. "Ugh..." Kat finally managed to sit up, and growl
angrily. He spat out some blood that was in his mouth from the
human he attacked. "Where's Lucia!" he said partially
relieved the last member of their group wasn't there yet.
