History
On a wet morning 22 years ago a tiny new born neko kitten was found on the doorstep of a New York City orphange. She had nothing with her but a silver collar of adult size and a note reading "Please give our Kitten a better life than we can". She was taken in and cared for by Sister Mary Ann Christopher, her cute "mews" prompting comments such as "what a little Angel" and as such the name stuck and she was registered with the authorities as Angel Kitten.
After just a few weeks Dr David Slocombe, a wealthy and highly respected Physician who had retired after being widowed at the age of 42 visited the orphange, his intention being to adopt and raise a child as he and his wife had planned. He wanted a baby and at the time no human babies were at the orphange, Sister Mary Ann sensed the man's compassion and gently asked if he might consider taking a baby who wasn't "totally human". She showed Angel to him, as the baby Neko purred in her sleep Dr Slocombe fell in love with her and very soon she was adopted, her name changed to Slocombe and taken to live with him in his Central Park West home.
There she grew and lived the life one would expect of the daughter of a wealthy man in New York City, introduced into High Society as a debutante, given the finest education her father's money could buy. She was vaguely aware of the frowns of some of the people around her as Nekos were rare in these circles but her father being so highly regarded Angel and her father formed an inpenetrable bond, he spoiled her and lavished her with gifts and jewels, she dopted on him often spending her evenings at home with him playing games or reading rather than with her friends. He passed onto her the importance of compassion and kindness, but sadly sheltered her from all that was "below" them, in her world everyone had an abundance of money, food and everything they could possibly need.
When she was a baby Doctor Slocombe set up a trust fund for Angel, to be recieved on her 23rd Birthday, a sum amounting to half of his fortune. His brother Jacob objected strongly, having always frowned up a Neko being brought into their rather elite family circle. It was done however and although Jacob remain in contact with his brother he never attempted to form any bond with Angel.
A month before her birthday, Angel overheard her father and Uncle arguing in her father's Study, Jacob stormed from the apartmernt in a rage and when she asked her father would not tell her what the argument was about ... he simply hugged her tightly and told her he loved her and nobody in and nothing would change that. Two nights later Angel was woken from her sleep by a strange smell, it was vaguely familiar but something she had never smelt so strong before and it seemed to excite senses in her that she was not used to being stimulated. She stepped out of her room into the dark hallway, calling out softly to her father as she heard soft steps ahead of her she looked to see a figure in the shadows slip out of the apartment door. Frightened she continued to call for her father, a little louder as she hesetantly walked towards his room..her hands shaking as she opened the door ... it was dark...she could make out his shape in the bed she ran to him embracing him crying "Daddy, there was someone here, Daddy wake up" it was then she realised the scent.. it was stronger than ever here, whatever it was it made her salivate, and what was this? Her paws were wet... there was something on the sheets, wet, warm and sticky. She leaned over and turned on a bedside lamp and almost instantly lept back screaming loudly as she saw her father covered completely in blood, his blood, his throat slashed. Her perfect world shattered in a moment, suddenly and violently introduced to a world that had crime and murder she was terrified and what was worse, the one man who had been her saviour, her protector all her life ...was gone.
A week later, the night before Angel was to visit her father's attorney to hear his will being read, Angel was visited by her uncle, under the pretence of being there to assist in the funeral arrangements he was unusually kind to her, pouring her a drink "to calm her nerves" as she broke down sobbing for the millionth time that week. Soon she felt very sleepy, thinking that the lack of sleep over the week had finally caught up with her she tried to go to her room but collapsed on the way, her final memory before it faded to black being her Uncle standing over her smiling smugly.
When she woke she was cold, lying on something hard and the smell ...oh .. she wrinkled her nose, her sense overpowered by the new scents all around her, it was dark here, but so cold, almost like she was outdoors ...she opened her eyes, her mind still not fully awake and the memory of the previous night hadn't quite come back into focus. She saw a wall... a brick wall, it was dirty and there was some writing on it ... in red paint .. her vision still foggy like her mind she squinted at it "The Catwalkers think you suck" she frowned and giggled to herself "My I'm having the wierdest dreams lately" she thought and closed her eyes again trying to make the dream go away and fade to something else ... but it didn't. The cold damp floor was still there, the smell was making her nauseous and then she lept up as she heard a loud bang very close ... she heard footsteps and raised voices, still not full aware of where she was or her surroundings she simply held herself flat to the wall as the voices came closer then a man ran past, the gun in his hand glinted from some nearby light source she froze, not even daring to breathe ... he stopped briefly to look at her then ran away. It took a few minutes for her to unpin herself from the wall, her eyes darting about her, realising now that she was in some kind of alley. her memories of the previous night still elluding her. "I must have got drunk or something " she told herself "I'll just get to the street and find a cab to take me home" she staggered out towards the light she had seen, and it was only then she realised... she wasn't in New York anymore.....
more to come but I'm knackered after that LOL. |

...continued
She wondered, lost and confused, hiding from anythiing or anyone that moved, bits of conversations she heard told she was in a place called "Midian City" and it seemed that just about everyone she saw was armed and dangerous looking. She wrapped herself in her coat, her favourite from back home grateful at least that whoever had dumped her had put it on her and found a small fire to warm herself by in a dark alley frightened, hungry and very alone.
It was another day before she ventured out again, looking for something to possibly eat, she found a store and for the first time in her life she stole something, her long coat proving a useful hiding place. As she was returning to her hiding place she became aware of something that had until then eluded her; there were others like her here, other Nekos. She had only ever known one before at home, a boy simply called "Cat" who was kept as a pet by the security guard in her building. She had liked him, rough and dark and just so much more exciting than the human 'society' boys she was surrounded by, he seemed so wild to her. It was the one secret she'd kept from her father, that she had allowed him to kiss her, to touch her, to be with her and she had loved every minute as it had spoken to parts of her that until then she had never known existed.
The sight of other Nekos in Midian excited her a little, noting that they tended to walk up on the catwalks she ventured up and sat and watched and waited.
She was found by a young female Neko, called Gwen who was kind to her and showed her the way to the community centre where Angel was so glad of a soft warm bed and a shower. Gwen told her of a group called The Catwalkers, a family a pride of Nekos, feeling so complete alone as she was the idea of this family excited her she asked how she might become a part. Soon Gwen introduced her to a more senior member, a Soldier called Myca, Myca asked her questions about why being in the Catwalkers was important to her and she answered and best and honestly as she could. Despite openly admitting to having no fighting experience or many other skills that may prove useful Myca seemed to see some potential and allowed her to join the Kittenwalkers, where she would be trained.
And so Angel's journey with The Catwalkers began, Myca was assigned as her trainer and she soon began to make friends with others, Gwen and another Kitten called Bea soon becoming close friends. She met other senior members, Ash, Mari, Scy and Golyth who had almost instantly reminded her of Cat from back home and combined with his mysterious demeanour and apparent willingness to help her soon became the subject of her infatuation, mistaking as is often the case in these situations his friendliness and support for encouragement she followed him around like a puppy desperate to learn more about him.
Just a few days had seemed like a year, she had seen people shot, stabbed, heard of the death of the leader of the Hounds, she soon she would become part of the drama. She found she too was capable of inflicting pain as she had been forced to hurt someone in self defense, and then just the following day shoot Gwen, one of her best friends who had attacked other members of the pride after being thrown out. Full of self-loathing and and hatred for what she had to do to survive in Midian she sought comfort from a new Kitten who had arrived just a few days after her, a sweet tom called Reiyn, another New Yorker who had been raised in a firehouse and was a trained medic. He was gentle and kind and listened to her and seemed to be the only one who understood why she was so sad, he also seemed to want to make her feel that she was still special and as he softly kissed her, she couldn't resist kissing back, needing the comfort he gave her more than food and water as she feared the city was changing her he promised he would never let it take her away
and there we are ... for now... a little more to come. |

Angel may be interested in knowing that there are also some other kitties in the pride who prefer nonviolence, such as Scytale, Undine, Elise, and Tober. As I told Undine yesterday, it is kitties like us that help balance out the pride. Of course, we still need to be capable of defending ourselves or others if necessary, but it's usually our least preferred course of action.

| I know Tober but Angel is a little mixed up and confused not to mention PISSED about what happened to her Daddy so even though she's never been a violent person she's starting to feel the lure and of course, all her Kitty hunting insticts are starting to be woken ... speaking of which ... I think she's been through enough the past few days to have some fun being feral for a while ... this should be interesting. |

Yeah, we all go through our stages and find out things about ourselves that we didn't know or repressed. Tober had sort of repressed a lot of her cat behavior around humans so she would fit in, but since being in Midian, it's all come out. Angel will find her equilibrium, just as Tober has. And yes, playing a feral kitty can be quite fun!

last part then I'm all up to date .. so far.
So the romance with Reiyn is off to a slow, sweet start; he clearly cares for Angel deeply and she can't deny she feels the same but that obsession with another certain dark Kitty won't seem to leave her and the more she tries to stay away it seems the more she learns about him drawing her back in and what she learns both terrifies and intrigues her.
A few days ago Angel's friend Beatriz was attacked by a giant mutant spider, after ensuring her friend's wound were treated she was ordered to stay with her and look after the den. During this time the Spider attacked the den vamitting a large ammount of toxic acid over the general area. (nice I know lol) While Angel ran for cover some splashed onto her coat, she shrugged it off as quickly as possible letting it fall to the ground, as it did she heard an unexpected "clunk" as if something metal had been in the coat and hit the ground. When the attack was over Angel examined the coat, eventually finding sewn into the lining an envelope containing a key, a credit card and the following Letter.
| Quote: |
My dearest Angel,
Forgive me for hiding this note so well, I hope you find it in time and that it isn't found by the wrong people. If I am gone, dead or missing when you read this you must for your own safety follow my instructions. I take no pleasure in this and pray that you never have to find this. I am hiding it your favourite cloak in the hope that should you need to leave home quickly you would take it with you.
I fear for my life my dearest little girl and more than that I fear for yours. My brother seems to have gone quite mad with greed. I can't be certain if he simply doesn't want you to have my money because you are Neko or if he has got himself in some kind of trouble and needs it but he said some terrible things to me, made me aware of his connections to people I pray you never have to meet, and seems to be out of his mind. I pray he will not harm you and I will for as long as I can be your protector.
If however he somehow gets to me and not you I have made some provisions for you. You will not be safe on the mainland my dearest, I regret that I kept hidden from you the prejudices and fears of humans here against Nekos. In my mind you have always been my daughter, what you are was never important to me. I never wanted to see you hurt and so I sheltered you, perhaps too much and so now I must with a very heavy heart ask you to do something.
If you have not already left home, pack a bag my girl, if I am missing or dead you are not safe. Take a boat to Midian City, it's unlikely to be a place you will have heard of, an island, isolated, but I hear there are many other Nekos there and you will likely find friends and protection. I'm afraid i don't know much, I hear many stories but can't imagine anywhere could be as bad as these stories make out. It does seem to be a place where you can hide away though and I very much doubt he would look for you there. There is a nearby city called Apocolypse, there I have purchased an apartment and paid for it to be decorated and furnished, the key is in this envelope along with a credit card, it is untracable to me so I hope my brother can never track it to you, the limit should be enough to keep you comfortable for some time but take care and be aware that your life will be different, you will not be able to live amongst all of the comforts you once knew.
I'm sorry my dearest, I'm sorry that I never taught you the realities of this world. You were and always will be my most precious gift and I wanted to keep you as pure and untainted by the cruel harshness of life, instead I fear I have made you more vunerable. I can only hope you find this in time and get away and find someone there to protect you.
I will never forget the day we found eachother my little Kitten, and no matter what happens, I will never regret it either. In my heart I know you will find a way to survive.
With endless love
your Daddy. |
So it had seemed her father had wanted her in Midian anyway, the more Angel thought about the night her father was killed the more she realised that she too was intended as a target but because she had woken the assassin had escaped, dumping her in Midian was clear "plan b" for her uncle. She sought out her apartment in Apocalype, a pleasent, almost luxurious penthouse suite decorated in her favourite japanese style. She was overjoyed to have just a little something from her father to cling to.
YAY Finally done for now. |

*folds his arms and smirks* Nonviolence kitties? Pssh no such thing in Midian... filthy humans keep coming on the walks and those idiot circus freaks can't keep it in thier pants long enough to make anyone excited...
You can keep your nonviolence... I'll trust the cold steel on my backs to silence those that would cause problems for my species...
*laughs a bit* Nice you found a home finally... Kitten den isn't that great in the rain..

So much to say so I'll just summerise
Angel and Reiyn all going swimmingly until they both start to become haunted by nightmares which sends them both a little loopy but they work through it together just in time for Myca to die and leave them both devastated, Angel is promoted to Catwalker Kitten but feels lost and for various reasons ends up addicted to opiates not knowing that Reiyn has also turned to them. Reiyn discovers her addiction first and helps her recover while keeping his ongoing addiction secret when she discovers his addiction and finds she is left alone to deal with him she starts to see the Pride in a new light realising that as a family they should be there for eachother, she was particularly angry at The Matron and Master and after much consideration decided to leave the pride. Still struggling to stay away from drugs she withdrew staying home losing her friends and unknowingly losing Reiyn.
When she is in town one day to get food she hears talk of a Catwalker who had killed themselves, eventually learning it was her best friend Bea she is devastated but more worried for Reiyn. She contacts him and arranges to meet him in their special place to break the news. He doesn't take it well and snaps thinking she knows he has been unfaithful and tells her he was now with someone else. He leaves her grieving for her friend and her mate, not before she discovers who his new mate by discovering him with Chisaki at Bea's bedside as she lay in the MC.
A couple of days later she meets with him to talk and they finally agree to part as friends. Her heart is broken but she would not see him unhappy.
Their story is not over though as a few days later .. she realises she's now tied to him .. for the rest of her life through the child she was carrying.
