Obey Curfew, Kids (Kevin)

[Shifter]

This was the happiest Aislynn had been in a long while.

She no longer felt as if she was constantly being watched, though she was still careful about what she said. Even if she had a sort of "Protector," the young woman knew better than to start talking to each and every person she saw. When she talked, things she wasn't supposed to say got said, and if she said the wrong things...

Well, her daddy hadn't been happy the last time she had slipped up.

And even though she knew it was ridiculous to be thinking that her father would be anywhere near Adanac, even hidden scars ran deep.

Glancing up at the nighttime sky, Aislynn knew she should be heading back to Dusk now. Even though she slept out on his yard, or sometimes on the swing, she liked to check in with him, let her know that she was back, and that she was safe. So, shoving her hands into her pockets, she started back towards the house.

Kevin was bored.

He had left Markus to "play" with their latest two victims, even though he knew the idiot wouldn't get any pleasure out of it. But now he was bored, and as he wandered back and forth across the docks. He was looking for another "plaything". Someone to... relieve his tension.

That's when he noticed something... someone. She had a pretty face and silver hair, and immediately he knew this was quite a catch.

It would be nice to hear her screams.

Warily, he came up beside her, giving her a seemingly innocent and kindly smile. "Hello," he said. "Are you lost, miss?"

[Shifter]

Aislynn was surprised, and immediately on guard, when she sensed someone approach. A man about the same age as her moved to walk beside her, flashing a kind - albeit handsome - smile.

"Hello. Are you lost, miss?"

Taken aback by the question, for Aislynn simply couldn't see where anything she would have done would cause others to see her as 'lost', she shook her head. "N-no, I'm... I'm fine. Heading home, actually." She gave him a shy, hesitant smile, then glanced back at the road.

Her pace increased.

[Switchblade]

Kevin cocked a brow at her, speeding up as she did. He wasn't about to let this one get away; no, not by a long shot. He moved sort of in front of her, just enough to slightly change her direction, as he saw an alley come into sight.

"Are you sure, miss? You look... well, you look as if you don't know where you're going. I just want to help, is all." He grinned toothily, hiding one of his hands behind his back as the skin melted into metal. As soon as she protested, tried to get away... well, he wasn't letting that happen.

[Shifter]

Aislynn automatically adjusted her pathway when he stepped in front of her. Whilst she thought she was getting out of his way, she was actually being herded towards the alley. not like she was expecting to be herded, since she had never dealt with this kinda situation ever.

"I know where I'm going," she murmured, her hands digging into her pockets. She shifted nervously, "He expects me home at a certain hour, anyways... I have to know where I'm going."

She stepped into the alley, trying to side-step him.

[Switchblade]

Kevin whipped his bladed hand up to her throat, not digging the "knives" in but rubbing them against her flesh so that they would leave little burns. "Oh, I think he won't mind if you're a bit late," the man murmured, face suddenly becoming twisted, grin suddenly not so friendly. He pushed her backwords while still hanging on, towards the back of the alleyway.

"Don't scream for anyone. You'll be dead if you do." He tilted his head to the side, allowing his other set of fingers to melt into blades and running them gently down her arm. "My, you are a pretty one, aren't you? I'm going to have to give you a few souveniers..."

[Shifter]

"Oh, I think he won't mind if you're a bit late."

That was the only warning Aislynn would ever get. Knives - apparently his own fingers - pressed into her throat, rubbing so as to cause burns. Her entire form tensed, and the young woman found herself unable to fight as he dragged her into the back of the alleyway. All she could do was mew.

"Don't scream for anyone, you'll be dead if you do." He ran his other hand, now completely with blade-fingers, up her arm, and Aislynn shuddered. "My, you are a pretty one, aren't you? I'm going to have to give you a few souveniers..."

She tugged against him, trying to find some way to get free. Her tail wrapped around his wrist, trying to pull the knives from his throat. If she could avoid getting her neck sliced when she morphed, then she could hit cheetah mode and run.

She just... had to get free.

[Switchblade]

Kevin shook his head. He dug the very tips of his fingers into the tender flesh of her neck. "Put the tail down, now. I don't want to make this any worse for you. Well... I do." He grinned wider, his black eyes flashing dangerously. "But I would like to leave you alive. I wouldn't want to rob the world of something so... beautiful."

He leaned in close to her, licking up her cheek and around her ear. He began to whisper in her ear, his voice becoming a snake-like hiss. "This won't take long, promise. Though I don't know if you're going to be quite so pretty when I'm done with you. Not my fault, y'see... These damn blades. What're you gonna do?"

[Shifter]

She trembled in his grasp, letting her tail drop from his wrist as he dug his claws into her throat. "Please," she begged, terror clogging her throat. Her wide, blue eyes stared up at him, as if trying to plead where words could not. Her whole body shuddered in revoltion as he licked her.

"Don't," she tried again, "please. Don't do this."

[Switchblade]

Kevin laughed. It was hilarious, it really was, the way this girl thought begging was going to make any difference to him. And her eyes... well, that only egged him on more. Yes, she was going to have him whether she wanted him or not.

He ran a bladed finger ever-so-gently up her leg, cutting the fabric of her pants and stopping just below the crotch. "Sorry. But I'm not the type to be reasoned with." And with that he whipped his blades off of her neck, slashing them across her chest and ripping open her shirt and bra. Kevin shoved the girl to the ground, dropping down over her and wrapping his hands around her wrists...

[Shifter]

-----

Aislynn was scarred - in all ways possible.

There were claw marks all over her chest, reaching down to the abdomen area. Her face was saturated with tears, though blood dribbled down from a small cut in her cheek. She was trembling beneath him, her entire body shaking with fear and pain. And she just couldn't stop crying.

All she wanted was to be free and away from him, to find Dusk and... and...

She wasn't quite sure what after that, but she knew she wanted his protection.

[Switchblade]

Kevin smiled down at her, his lovely little victim. Something he was glad Markus wasn't here to see, but something he was glad to have none-the-less. It was just... The pain on her face, it filled him with a sort of joy.

He loved seeing imbeciles suffer.

Gently, he ran a blade across the cut on her cheek, making it into a lopsided X symbol. After a moment, an idea came to him. This girl had been a virgin, and he had killed that. He had killed her inside, too, he could tell that much. Kevin knew his history, so the idea that hit him made him laugh out loud with its brilliance.

He moved downwards to her exposed thigh, knowing she wouldn't move from the spot so long as he was there, and began to carve. A twirl here, a twirl there, an artistic little curve, and then...

A fleur de lis, a symbol used to mark beauty.

[Shifter]

The blade caressed her cheek with biting gentleness, causing a rough sob to burst free. She was - or, had been - a virgin, as Kevin had figured out. Even with all she had seen and been a part of, Aislynn had still managed to cling to her innocence. Not just that kind of innocence, but also the innocence of her heart. And now it was gone, destroyed by a monster.

He moved downwards again, but by Aislynn was too bruised and battered to care. His hand rested on her thigh, then his claws dug in. A cry tore from her lips as, with little care towards her own pain, the man carved into her flesh. She didn't budge until he was done, and then it was only to look up at him.

Her blue, cat-like eyes were brimmed with tears - and full of fear, pain.

[Switchblade]

Kevin brushed his hands together, standing up and allowing his hands to form their normal fingers once more. He zipped his pants up in an almost smug manner; he'd comepletely ripped up her clothes, she had nothing to cover her shame. After a moment, he raised a finger to his lips and licked the blood away.

"Thanks for the great time," he murmured, eyes glinting dangerously again. "I'm sure it'll be a night we won't soon forget. Well... you won't, anyway." With a toothy grin and a wink, he turned, leaving her to sit in the pool of fluids and blood that had gathered around her near-lifeless body.

[Shifter]

She waited until she was sure he was gone to move.

Using what little strength she had left, Aislynn managed to roll onto her stomach and push herself up onto her knees. Her arms shook with the effort, and her hands tried in vain to grab at the shreds of cloth that had once been her clothes. Instead of staying in place, though, they simply floated to the ground, gathering around her broken form.

She knew she would have to morph feline now, though she wasn't all too sure she would be able to make it through the change without collapsing. Aislynn knew she had to try, to make it home to Dusk in time. (Though she didn't even know what time it was at the moment)

A wave of nausia rippled through her, even as Shifter lived up to her name, and it took all the young woman had to keep her dinner down. Finally, through pain and trembling limbs, a silver cheetah stood where Aislynn had been kneeling a moment ago.

It took off in a sprint, not even glancing back once.
