The Savage Garden Ch. 02

Chapter 2: Unleashed

Jade curled up in the branches of a large oak and looked down upon the forest below. Her mind raced with thoughts of what she had just done. She had nearly torn her boyfriend apart, and then when he had tried to understand she had walked out. Walked into the night and blindly sought out this secluded wood. Poor Sean, he would be worried sick. But then what else was there to do. She was protecting him, protecting herself. Where had all of that come from?

She could hear sounds from not too far off. The crackling of underbrush made by human feet. Whoever it was, they were moving quickly. Her instincts took over and she sat stock still, ready to pounce. Out of the brush came a woman, running full speed. Her clothes were torn and dirty, and her breathing was ragged. Directly behind her came a man. Jade smelled fear, pain, anger. She dropped down from her perch between the two, and looked into the man's eyes. They were filled with hate, confusion, and rage. She attacked, knocking him to the ground and slashing across his chest with her nails before backing off some to let him get up. He backed away, and she followed slowly. Crouching a few feet away, taunting him. He reached for something in his back pocket and pulled out a knife, its serrated edges shining in the moonlight. Her eyes began to glow as she stepped closer to him, her canines lengthening into fangs. She could smell the blood seeping out of the small wound on his chest, and it drew her to him. Suddenly tired of the game, she moved in quickly to disarm him. The knife flying from his hand as her teeth sunk into his jugular. She made a sound, something between a purr and a growl as blood sprayed into her mouth. They fell to the ground, his body pinned beneath hers, and his struggles slowly lessened and then stopped as she drained the life from his body. She shuddered softly as a bolt of energy raced through her body. Licking the wound clean, she stood slowly and turned towards the woman.

The woman was small, barely 5 ft. Her long black hair hung in tangles around her tear stained face, and her slight form trembled as she huddled behind a tree. Jade felt her fangs retract as she walked slowly towards the woman. Smelling the scent of fear she smiled, and spoke.

"There is no need to be afraid. He is gone, and I won't hurt you." Her silken voice floated softly on the night air. Causing the small trembling woman to look up and meet her eyes.

"Who are you?" the woman replied. "What are you?"

Jade laughed. "I am Jade, and as to what I am... I'm still trying to puzzle that one out. I know that I should be disgusted with myself for what I just did. But, like it or not, he was going to kill you. Beggars can't be chosers."

Laughing softly the woman replied "So true. He would have killed me, and I really can't complain. My name is Seraphim... Sera for short. What were you doing out here?"

"It seems I should ask you the same question. I ran off when I started feeling the need to eat people. Seemed like the sensible thing to do at the time."

"I was at a party" Sera started "and I got into a fight with my girlfriend. So I decided to walk home. After a few blocks I noticed that someone was following me. He chased me into the trees, and that's when you showed up."

"You got lucky, plain and simple" Jade stated. "Now come on and I will walk you home."

On the walk back to Sera's apartment, Jade told Sera the whole story. The night's events had given them a sense of emotional bonding and Jade felt that she could trust Sera with her story. As the truth came out, Sera began to look puzzled and then a little frightened. Finally she stopped at a small building and said "This is me. Would you like to come in? I don't quite feel like being alone right now."

Jade followed Sera into a small apartment. Chaos obviously reigned supreme in Sera's life. The room was a complete mess. Feeling at home, Jade flopped onto the couch. "So what do you think" She asked? "You know as much as I do now." Sera walked into an adjoining room and came back holding a small leather bound book. "I think I can help. Here look at this." She opened the book and flipped through the pages then sat it down in Jade's lap. "This is one of Diana's books. She lent it to me a few weeks ago."

As she looked down at the page, Jade made a mental note that Sera's girlfriend had an odd taste in literature. "A Werecat is a humanoid mutation, half-human and half-beast, which feeds off of the rage, fear, pain, and blood of humans. These creatures are dangerous when in their were form, but pass as normal people when in their human form. Many Werecats do not know their true nature, and may not change until late in life. The change may be very painful, and cause violence, disorientation, and amnesia at times. These beasts keep many of their human traits, and can be dangerously cunning as well as compassionate at times. The change is normally brought on by situations of extreme stress, danger, or pain, and can also be brought on consciously at the will of the being." Jade finished reading the passage aloud and looked up at Sera. "Well, that explains some things. It doesn't tell me what my next move is though. You would think it could be a little more helpful."

Just then the telephone rang and Sera ran to grab it before the machine picked up. "Hello. Yes, hold on a moment okay." She looked over at Jade. "I have an idea. If you will trust me."

Jade nodded "I trust you."

"Diana" Sera continued "we have a problem. I need you here. Come prepared, I have supernatural company. See you in ten." And with that she hung up the phone. "This isn't really my area, but Di will know what to do."

The door opened a few moments later and a small woman with short soft red hair and green eyes hidden behind glasses strode into the room. Her black tank top and jeans clung to her curvy figure and her knee-high boots beat out a tempo against the tile as she walked. Seeing Jade, she stopped dead in her tracks. There was a half-naked woman sitting in her girlfriend's apartment, and the woman's eyes were glowing.

Jade stood up from the couch with the silent grace of a cat, and smiled. "I'm Jade, and Sera thinks that you can help me with something." With that she stood and stepped back, concentrating on the darkness inside of her. Feeling her fangs grow, and her body start to hum. She lifted her glowing blue eyes to Di's startled green ones, and let the anger fade. "According to this book" she pointed to the open book sitting on the coffee table " I am a Werecat. The book explained some things, but it really doesn't tell me what to do about it."

The girls sat close together poring over books for hours, and scouring the Internet for information. They couldn't seem to come up with much more than what they already had. By three in the morning they had decided to take a break and get some rest. Jade wanted to leave, but Di said it was out of the question. There was no telling what would happen if Jade got loose and found herself in a bad situation. So they all curled up on Sera's living room floor, and dropped off to sleep.

Jade awoke in the middle of the night to the sounds of even breathing. Di had her leg thrown over Jade's hip and Sera was curled up against Jades other side. The heat from their bodies was making Jade sweat, but as she tried to move out from under them Di stirred and opened her eyes.

"What's wrong?" she asked immediately.

"It's hot in here." Jade whispered "And having you two so close is making me antsy."

"Antsy?" Sera asked opening her eyes and sitting up. "How so?"

Blushing, Jade replied. "I'm getting sexually excited. I think it's the cat in me coming out. I'm trying to control it, but the control is slipping."

Di and Sera looked into each other's eyes, and then silently nodded.

"We want to help." Di said. And with that she leaned in and began to kiss Jade. Her tongue slipping into Jade's mouth as Sera's teeth scraped against Jade's neck. A groan slipped from between Jade's lips as she sank back to the floor, Di following her as Sera stood and removed her clothing. The moonlight shining through the window lit on her pale skin, and shadows danced across her body as she lay back down and slid Jade's shirt up and over her head. Di stripped off her underwear and tank top and rejoined them on the floor. Her lips slid slowly across Jade's collarbone and down until they captured a nipple. Biting softly, her hands began to roam across Jade's stomach. Sera's lips softly brushing against Jade's in a tender kiss.

Jade began to feel hot all over. She felt the change begin, and she resisted. Trying to maintain control, but it was too late. She dug her nails into Di's back and arched up off of the floor, sucking Sera's tongue into her mouth and scraping her teeth over it. A whimper escaped her throat as Di's fingers found her clit and began to rub it gently. Sera slid up and straddled Jade's face as Di buried two fingers inside of Jade's heated body and began to stroke inside of her. Gripping Sera by the hips, her nails digging into flesh, her grip bruising, Jade slid her tongue along Sera's pink slit. Finding Sera's clit, Jade latched on and began to suck, sinking her teeth slightly into Sera's flesh. Di slid lower and rolled her tongue against Jade's outer lips, dipping it in slightly then withdrawing. They adjusted themselves slightly, and formed a chain. Sera's mouth licking and sucking on Di, as Di did the same to Jade, and Jade's tongue speared in and out of Sera.

A shiver went through Jade as Di's teeth sank into her thigh, drawing blood. She doubled her efforts on Sera's clit as she felt her orgasm begin to wash over her. The intense sucking caused Sera's body to tighten with release, and tasting it on her tongue Jade sank her fangs into Sera's skin on either side of her clit. Drinking in her pleasure as Sera's body convulsed once again. Di sat up and watched as Jade licked at the wounds she had made and held the shivering Sera. Sera sank down onto a pillow and sighed contented. Almost drifting off into sleep as she watched Jade and Di. Looking up at Di, Jade smiled. Suddenly she pounced, her mouth seeking out Di's. Sharing the taste of blood mingled with cum. Di let Jade push her to the floor. The feelings of power coming off of Jade's body making her hair stand on end. She cried out as Jade's tongue slid inside of her, tasting her. Her fingers seeking out her clit, she began to slowly roll it between her fingers as Jade tongue fucked her. Wanting to give back to Di what she had been given, Jade curled her tongue inside of Di's warm tunnel and sucked. The pressure from Jade's tongue and her own fingers became too much for Di. She screamed and convulsed, liquid sliding into Jade's mouth as Di came hard on her tongue. Di smiled softly and motioned for Jade to come lie in between her and Sera. Licking her lips Jade slid between the two women and fell asleep. She was satisfied... for now.
