Thread: Set Me Free [MysticSparxman & Outsane]

Kani 07 Age 20 Gender Female ----------------------------- Luckily for her, the darkness created a great cover for her escape. She could hear the bullets tear into the ground behind her and the soldiers guarding her cell. More like tube. The fluid they filled the large cylinder still clung to her body and made her fur crust and stink. Her nostrils flared as she darted through the open field towards the tall grass where she could stand a chance at escaping. Those hopes were immediately dashed to pieces when the sound of helicopter blades slicing through the air rang in her ears. She flattened them down against the back of her skull and hissed. Those bastards sure were persistent, and well-prepared. She darted into the the tall grass to get rid of the foot chase. Once inside, she pushed off her strong legs and jumped into the air. She covered more distance while jumping, so she could get a good deal away from the footmen before she'd have to deal with the helicopter. Kani got as far as three jumps into the thick grassland before bullets from the machine gun mounted on the helicopter ripped past her head. She shrieked angrily and began to run through the grass on all fours. She zigzagged every which way to avoid a linear pattern where it would be easy to just sweep through with the machine gun and pierce her a few times. Her momentum picked up as she continued running, but she was forced to come to a screeching halt when the gun started shooting horizontally in front of her. She dodged the bullets and made a sharp turn, heading in a different direction. The helicopter made a wide swoop to try and catch her again. Just ahead she saw a rock jutting out from the flat plains and made a plan. She ran up the length of the rock and once she reached the paramount, Kani pushed off the rock and spun around in the air. The bullets narrowly missed her again as she flew at them, landing on the window. Her extended claws dug into the metal and she tore down on the window, ripping the glass from the pane and shattering it. Her claws dug into the two pilots' bodies and the helicopter started to go down. She glanced to the ground below and saw lights. Lots of lights. When the helicopter neared the ground, Kani pushed off it and rolled on the dirt a few feet away from the estimated crash site. She jumped up to her feet and began leaping towards the lights. The explosion behind her caused her wince as her massive ears picked up on the sound. When she reached the lights, she could see they were from cars. Dozens of them going to and leaving from the city. She hid in the ditch and watched as the people began to gather around and watch the fire from the explosion. They spoke a language she barely understood, but she had no time to learn it. She needed to get farther away from the facility. Kani crawled into one of the vehicles that was left open and moved to the back. Laying on the back seat, she shivered slightly, feeling her adrenaline slowly ebb. Slowly, she closed her eyes and started to relax until a faint beeping sound brought her senses back up. She checked her left arm and saw a faint, flickering glow. A tracker. Growling, she extended her claws and slashed her arm, destroying the tracker effectively, but causing bleeding from her torn flesh. The car door slammed shut and the vehicle began to move. Kani laid flat and still, hoping the car owner wouldn't check behind him. She rode in the car until he parked it in front of an apartment building. Sliding out of the back seat, she glanced around at the building. There were a good number of balconies leading into decent-sized apartments. All sorts of aromas wafted from some of the open windows. Kani's eyes scanned the building. There was one apartment with the balcony door open. The curtains waved outside, inviting her to come in and hide. Four storeys up. Kani darted over to the building and began to scale it, using her claws to keep her from sliding down. Within seconds she was level with the open apartment. Reaching over, she grasped the rail and hoisted herself onto the balcony and quietly examined the room inside. It looked dark, but she could see perfectly fine. Kani carefully walked inside the room and sniffed the air. The couch was just in front of her. The soft cushions looked ideal to rest on. Normally she would have known better, but the running had caused her to become fatigued. Wearily, Kani lowered herself onto the couch and curled up, tucking her tail around her ankles and pressing her ears against her skull and falling asleep.
