[color=00aeef][center][h1]Yu-Pha[/h1][/center][/color] [center][h3]Cages[/h3][/center] A cage... Another cage... Being trapped wasn't anything new to Yu-Pha. Apparently there were others there with her, as it was evident by the many different voices that woke her up. Jennifer, Adelaide, Rand, Markus... The names faded from her mind as soon as she heard them. The words that came from the speakers still ringed on her ears "Shipment", "Request". She didn't knew where she was, but the way the voice spoke hinted one thing: they were disposable. Wasn't that different from the Underground rings... Yu-Pha was treated like a "disposable" good for a good while now. The only thing she could do is use her body and her mind to survive. The single word that flashed on her head every single second she was awake all those eleven years was still there. Burnt in her mind, like a searing wound: SURVIVE. On the first 5 years, she hated her captors. That hate, that rage fueled her. Fighting like a beast, her hands were already stained with blood, but she didn't care. Not anymore. As the years passed, the hate she felt became part of her. There were simply to many people to hate... So many people who watched her fight and laughed, the ones who whipped her, the guards, her opponents... When hope fades away, when your instincts fail you, when your strength is not enough, there are only three possible outcomes: or you break, getting completely mad, turning either into a beast that hates everything and everyone, hopelessly flailing its arms, teeth, claws at everything who gets nearby or the husk of a living being, completely giving up. But some turn into a monster far worse than a beast... Hands too dirty with blood to care about lives. A cold and calculist mind, forged over the remnants of feelings, hopes and dreams long sealed and forgotten. A strong body forged by hate and revenge, fueled by fear and despair. Even if it tries to hide in the skin of a human, a monster's eyes will remain the same. When all that is left is fear and despair, there is only one thing that will save you: turn all your fear, all the pain and agony you feel into hate. Let this hate burn, let it be your fuel, let your wrath consume all the needless feelings, everything that it was taken away from you: love, compassion, freedom. Sharpen your mind into a deadly blade, forge your body into a fortress. [color=00aeef]"Sharpen your mind and forge your body, lest they fail you when you more need them."[/color] Yu-Pha said to herself, doing the only thing she could, doing push ups while thinking about what to do next. [@SouffleGirl123] [@Doc] [@EmzyOfNeverland] [hr] [color=662d91][center][h1]Kamilah[/h1][/center][/color] [center][h3]Lobby[/h3][/center] [color=662d91]"Hello everyone! I missed all of you!"[/color] Kamilah said, walking in the lobby. As always, it was simply impossible to ignore her presence, she looked almost like a porcelain doll, with a white mantle over her shoulders. Her sweet smile and the impeccably white fangs showing when she smiled only made her even more beautiful. Delicate but dangerous, she had a different type of charm, not like a succubus or a siren, it was something more unique, her own charm. She looked inoffensive, innocent, and fragile, but small details shown otherwise: the strong hips and tail, the tiny hint of mischief behind that sweet smile, the way her hips swung when she moved... But then you stared at that delicate, white and innocent smile again. That uncertainty, that duality was her charm. [color=662d91]"So you have another "shipment" of humans?"[/color] she asked, with a small hint of discontentment on her face. [color=662d91]"Well, for the new faces, my name is Kamilah, the older ones may already know me. Feel free to ask for any medical help if you need. I would be glad if you decided to drop by my room to have a nice talk. I'll be at my room if you need me."[/color] she said, smiling to everyone in the lobby and getting to her room. Getting there, she immediately went to the intercom. [color=662d91]"Would you please bring some meat for me? I'm sooo~ hungry! It was a long trip after all!"[/color] she asked by intercom. [color=662d91]"And... if there is any... wounded human, send them to my room ok? Just don't make a fuss about it, ok? That will be our little secret."[/color] she said whispering, to prevent or at least try to prevent other to hear. [@Cherrywitch] [@Mae] [@Moriarty] [@EmzyOfNeverland] [@Doc]
