Kitty sighed as she looked around the room that Victor had left her in and spied an old nap sack in the far corner. She investigated the contents only to find that it was filled with her clothes and a few of her essentials. Victor intended her to stay for awhile at least, she wasn’t surprised that her cell phone was missing among her possessions.
Grabbing a pony tail holder she gathered her hair before tying it back. She was scared that he would kill her but Kitty had to hold on. She had to find the right moment and either escape, call Logan, or if she absolutely had to; kill him. It wouldn’t be hard to do, she wouldn’t need a gun or a blade like some of his other enemies would use. No, all she had to do was reach into his chest and pull his heart free.
Victor had claimed to be immortal, but Kitty was almost certain that if you pulled out a god’s heart it would die.
With renewed determination she exited the small room and made her way to find her captor.
She found him on the porch smoking a cigarette, a bottle of sake sat beside him. The moon was full in the sky and Kitty realized that she didn’t know how long she had been out. For all she knew the sun had just fallen below the horizon or it was a few hours before dawn.
“What time is it?” she asked as she slid the door shut behind her.
Victor looked up at the moon “1 a.m. give or take a few minutes,” he replied.
“How do you do that?” Kitty asked as she hesitantly walked closer to him.
“Do what?” he glanced over at her.
“Tell the time by the moon.”
He chuckled “Ancient Chinese secret.”
Kitty shook her head before walking over and sitting down at his right side, close but not too close.
“You and your damn secrets,” she said softly before picking up the bottle of sake and taking a drink.
“Well you can’t expect me to tell you everything, there’d be no fun if I did that,” Victor replied before taking the offered bottle back from her.
She was quiet for a moment, letting the sake warm her insides. “Cat and mouse,” Kitty said finally.
Victor grinned “Yes but who’s the cat and who’s the mouse?”
“I thought that would be obvious, your codename is Sabertooth after all.”
“This coming from the woman codenamed Shadowcat,” he replied as he flicked the spent cigarette out into the yard and she shrugged. “I wasn’t talking about codenames anyway.”
“Well then please elaborate,” Kitty replied sarcastically.
He took a long drink from the bottle and she almost scolded him for not sharing before she realized that her words would fall on deaf ears. It was his sake after all.
“You were the one that followed me, not the other way around,” he began to explain. “You could have run off and called your little X pals to come and give me shit but you didn’t. You followed me all the way out into the middle of nowhere for no real reason at all.”
“I followed you to make sure you didn’t attack anyone,” she replied adamantly.
“Of course ya did,” he replied sarcastically. “Now shut up and let me finish.”
“Fine,” Kitty huffed.
“After our little chat, I was gonna let ya go, I just offered you something to eat to be polite,” Kitty snorted and he shot her a glare which made her bite her bottom lip in silent apology. “You could have left, I wasn’t gonna stop you but you followed me. This whole time you’ve been chasing me and I’ve let you, which makes you the cat in this.”
“And so you shooting me with a horse tranquilizer was me chasing you?” the young woman asked in slight disbelief.
“It wasn’t a horse tranquilizer don’t be so fucking dramatic,” Victor shot back. “And no that wasn’t you chasing after me, because you may be the cat in this but I’m not a mouse I’m a rat and a rather large and mean one at that. Besides, you would have come back here today anyway; I just did you the favor of getting rid of your moral conflict.”
“Trust me, I never planned on coming back here,” Kitty said before snatching up the sake bottle once more.
“That may be true, but you would have anyway,” Victor replied before leaning back, using the palms of his hands to keep his body upright.
“You seem very sure about that for someone who hardly knows anything about me,” she replied before setting the bottle back down.
Victor remained silent and she looked over at him to find his eyes staring up into the night sky, up at the full moon. Half his face was hidden in shadow but his eyes shone fierce blue even in the pale light. She had always expected to see a cats eyes staring back at her. Even in his berserker rage state of mind his eyes remained blue, while Logan’s brown eyes always flashed gold.
The man beside her was an enigma; she had always passed him off as brutish and more or less stupid. But the past 24 hours had blown her theory out of the water, although the one thing that remained firm in her mind was that he was dangerous; a murderer.
“Victor?” she whispered.
“Yes kitten.”
“Why haven’t you killed me?” Kitty asked.
“Because I need you for something,” he replied.
“And what would that be?”
Victor looked over at her “I don’t know.”
Her heart fell when she realized that he was telling the truth.
