ELEVEN

"i've got nothing left to prove, 'cause i've got nothing left to lose"

// !!!!

A voice — feminine, older, non-threatening. But, then again, who could she trust?

Nearly startled out of her skin, the ragdoll kitten [sup]jumped[/sup] and spun around in an instant, wide blue eyes staring up at whoever had greeted her. Her breathing sped up, and at one point she was practically panting. An animal had not spoken a word to her since... since the testing facility. Since the cell blocks. "Get outta' here, kid!" They had warned her. "Better escape while you still can!" And that she did. The problem was, however... where had she left to go? She had thought that she could seek refuge in the green palms and the lush jungles here, but it seemed now that it was occupied.

No answer came from pink, parted lips. Her head whipped now to the larger male that had arrived. His jaws slicked with saliva, his pearly whites equipped to snap bones, his tall stature highly intimidating for the young girl. Not that Eleven had any personal experiences with dogs, but her instincts told her that a giant dog surely did not mean well for her. The tiny prickles that she called a pelt began to twitch and stand on end, and she pinned her ears against her head. 011 could only pick apart some of the things he was saying. E.. Eat? Food? The she-cat's stomach began to rumble and g r o a n , though she still stood her ground.

It was amazing that 011 hadn't withstood a heart attack at this point. The creatures that came forth seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and so far, this one took the cake. 011 had never seen such an animal before; cats, bunnies, rabbits, dogs... any of your average household pets, she's seen. This feline was massive and hulking, and though his warm tone of voice betrayed such a menacing demeanor, 011 couldn't help but feel frightened.

"Get back!" 011 wanted to scream at them. "Leave me alone!" Her tongue could not transfer her feelings into words, and so she could only let out a warning hiss at the three. There was no lingering growl, no snarls. It wasn't so much that she was aggressive, but it was more so that she was scared. Wouldn't you agree that being crowded by three complete strangers, two relatively beastly, would be scary for a young girl that's never truly seen the daylight?
