Chapter 6 - Birds In A Cage

I looked quickly in the direction that question had come from, my heart beating faster as I tried to search from my gun. I could feel my clit still throbbing from the sensation I had just experienced, my body oddly sensitive but strangely, that was all.

I had my panties on, it felt a little wet, but I also had on my uniform, I mean I could feel it on my body.

Had that been real? Was that a dream? Like a wet dream?

That was impossible.

I never remembered my dreams. In fact, I was convinced that I do not dream.

What happened to me?

What was going on?

The stench of the place hit me again, the remembrance that I was in a cage making me go alert with defense.

Where the f3ck was this place?! And how did I even get here?!

Last I remember, I was in General Liy's office with a stranger I met at Devil's Lure---

F3ck!

Was that it? Had I been snatched by a monster? Who was the monster that snatched me away? When did this happen? How--

Oh goodness!

For f3ck sake, I wasn't even 20, I was a soldier too!

"We are four. How did you get in here?" An hostile female voice asked, from a little to my left. In fact, it felt like the person was breathing down on me.

This lady must have not washed her mouth for days.

"I don't know." I answered as quietly as I could. "I was somewhere else and the next thing I know, I'm here."

I had a lot of questions, for some reasons I felt like the stranger I met had something to do with this. How? I didn't know. He was certainly not the monster, but was he the bait?

Ahhh.

I'll figure that out later.

The crucial thing to focus on right now, was how I would get the hell out of here.

"How did you get in here?" I asked, my hand resting against my gun, while I listened to get some information about where I was.

I had better not be getting shipped or something. That would only make escaping harder, besides, I wasn't a great swimmer.

"Some-- we--" a very meek and shaky voice whispered tearfully, further to my right but it didn't sound so far off.

Damn, I was in a tiny cage with four people!

If I was claustrophobic, I would be losing my mind right now.

What kind of inhumane treatment was this?

Or wait--

Was this General's Liy's work?

Was I - oh, no---

My heart was pounding loudly in my ears.

Was I in the Facility?

As much as I hated the Facility, I hoped with all my heart that this was it.

"The monsters snatched us away and they brought us here. We don't know where we are or how to get back home." The calmest voice I had heard since I somehow found myself in this cage, replied.

Oh, no.

It was the monsters.

I was doomed.

Sex put me in this. Sex doomed me.

Great. Fantastic.

Never in my life had I been so horny to the point that I didn't think until yesterday. Was it even yesterday?

What day was today?!

I really needed to get out of here?

I put my hands out trying to reach for the bars to estimate how far they were and just start calculating how I would get out of here, before the monsters come back.

Those bastards must have drugged me. They were certainly the ones that put me here. And maybe they drugged all of them in the cage too when they did that.

That was the only explanation I had for now, and at this moment, it was enough for me to work with.

'Ah, Val. We are so dea--" I started to say in my head when a hand suddenly slapped mine.

"Don't touch me!" The hostile voice hissed. "You might be one of them. We don't even know where you crawled out from!"

"C13, be nice." The calm one said.

She sounded like she had her life together, sounded like Ru.

Ahh.

Ru would be worried sick about me by now. I just hoped everything was fine with her.

"Be nice? Be NICE? No. Those f3cking Armed Unit weren't being nice when my parents begged for days at the gates, for one of their soldiers to be with me on my birthday. For just that day, that was all we begged for. But because we couldn't afford the full fee, they sent us away like f3cking animals."

I blinked, feeling sorry for her.

Yes, the Unit was that strict and... cruel. Most of the fee paid for our services didn't even usually go to us. I often wondered what they used the money for.

"Now I'm here, stuck in this cage like some animal, waiting for some unknown. I'm my mother's only daughter, I'm her only child. My mother didn't deserved this, we didn't deserve this. We are good people." She paused before she added quickly, "So, no, I can't be nice, Newbie is just gonna have to deal with it."

"I was... the Unit... they can't save everyone." The meek voice further to my right, said. "They couldn't save me and they die trying to, so it's not their fault."

"Ahh. That's some privileged b3llshit right there. I'm sorry, C16, but I can't relate. So just shut the f3ck up. You're just a pathetic, whinny, little bitch. Your voice is always trembling, it makes me want to puke."

I frowned.

And I thought I had a foul mouth.

"Enough, C13. If they come here and doze us again because of your noise..." The calm one said from the right.

"And what will you do?" C13 scoffed.

"You know you don't want to find out."

Well, I also didn't want to find out at that moment, because C13 didn't talk after that.

The calm one seemed to have control. C13 was the angry one. C16, the baby? Maybe that explained why she was at the right side of the cage with the calm one. For protection. And the last one, the very first person to observe my presence in the cage.

She hadn't said anything after that.

"Please, excuse C13. She is very bittered. Giving our situation, you should understand." Honestly, she sounded too composed for someone who had been kidnapped. Was she even human? "What's your code?"

"I don't think I have one yet."

Safer that way, than I mention one that already belonged to another.

"You do. They certainly put you in here and they wouldn't do that without your collar."

What?! Like a dog collar?!

I had no collar on. I couldn't decide if that was good or bad.

"I'm C14 by the way. What is your story?"

Okay, it was time for me to play along because this hellhole kept getting creepier by the second.

"Orphan." The status of the main character of the book I was presently reading. Besides I knew nothing about my real parents, whether they were alive or dead. So, this could be the truth. I guess.

"Hmmm."

"Looking out for yourself is hard. So, I guess it makes it easy for the monsters." I ended with a silent, strained chuckle.

"My parents treated me like I'm wasn't their own. This was bound to happen. In fact, I wonder if the monsters have the ability to be more cruel than they are. Even if they kill me eventually, I think this is better."

Wow. If I ever needed help with this escape plan I was cooking up in my head, C14 would obviously not be down for it.

"When were you taken?"

"Everyone was taken this month. Except C15. She is the only left from last month."

My heart skipped a beat.

"Only one left? What happened to the rest? Did they kill them?" I gulped, already imagining how much blood I was ready to shed if it were to come to that. "Will they kill us too?"
