Power dampening restraints were a familiar friend of hers. She had gotten to know them very well during the time she was stuck in the lab. Although their purpose was to keep excessive strength in check, Kimi knew that they were for other people's safety rather than hers. As such, she had learned how to deal with them for a few years, although she hadn't expected to encounter them so soon after she escaped the lab. Suddenly attacked on her way home from work, Kimi didn't know exactly what had hit her. The blow to the head didn't faze her much, seeing as her body was accustomed to taking damage from simple below like these. However, it was the familiar glint of the power dampening cuffs that immediately set her guard down.

How did they find her again? Did they know she was wandering about this entire time? Where are they all going to take her back to the lab? All these thoughts raced through her head and with the effects of the limiters keeping her natural strength in check, it seemed as if her captors had taken advantage of this, getting the cuffs on both of her hands and throwing her into an unfamiliar vehicle, all the while memories of her captivity played through her head. By the time Kimi finally found herself back into reality, she was in a cage, curled up into a ball, weakened with a nasty headache.

That was three days ago.

By now Kimi had learned the truth of her imprisonment. Although they used the same power dampening restraints, the group that captured her wasn't the individuals from the lab but rather a group of slave traders that would traffick different people across the Earth. Well, that wasn't any much better than the people in the lab but at the very least she wasn't going to be experimented on again. However, she was still stuck in this predicament with no way to get out.

She wasn't alone in the cage though, a woman that was similarly close to her age was also there, crying her eyes out and calling for names that she couldn't recognize. Kimi made sure to stay an arm's length away from her, especially when she had her own emotions to process. It was futile to just sit here and cry, especially when it didn't change what could happen to her. No, she did her best to stay calm, trying to see if there was some way to escape this hellhole.

Well, as time passed, it became much more difficult to tell. The slavers, likely unaware of the true nature of her body, had been keeping them fed with gruel and water. While it could keep a human alive, Kimi's body simply couldn't process the gruel as it no longer offered any nutritional value to her. It needed meat, especially of the raw variety to survive. As a result, she hardly touched her gruel leaving it untouched in the corner of her cell. She had overheard the slavers scoff, saying that she would eventually give into hunger and they were right? While Kimi did try her best to ignore her gnawing hunger, hoping the limiters could suppress her instincts enough, she soon had to give in to the primal urges.

Even if her power was severely dampened from both the restraints and the limiters, it didn't stop the natural weapons she had at her disposal. Unable to handle her hunger anymore, Kimi turned her attention to the woman. She really didn't want to kill her, but at this point, she had no choice. Her body simply reacted. The woman's screams could be heard from a mile away, but it was quickly cut out with a wet gurgle.

"Hey! What the hell is happening here?" A voice from behind called out. Someone shone a flashlight upon them, revealing a very bloodied Kimi standing over the corpse of what was her roommate. "Holy shit! She's fucking insane!" A jingle reached her ears, and she turned her attention from her meal towards the opening of the cage where two of the slavers stood, weapons in their hand. Without missing a beat, Kimi launched herself from one end of the cage to the other. Even with her power dampened, Kimi was fast, taking advantage of the shocking situation to make the first move. She slipped her arms over his head and would then begin to choke the slaver with their own restraint, relishing in their pain. At this point, Kimi didn't care. These were scum, unlike the woman. They could die and she wouldn't lose a single ounce of sleep.

"Release me or I'll eat them as I did to her. And then you're next." She said, her voice sounding far more like a snarl than anything human. The partner stood there, shaking clearly unsure what to do. Seeing as he was hesitating, she would bare her teeth, showing rows of razor-sharp fangs that she would slowly inch towards her victim's neck. That seemed to be enough.

"OK! Just leave us the hell alone you freak! I doubt anyone wants to buy a monster like you." Producing a card of some sorts, a quick scan would call the restraints to click and fall off her wrists. His partner fell to the ground, grasping at his throat and breathing in rapid breaths. Saying nothing else, Kimi would briefly walk back to pick up the corpse of the woman she killed and walk out of the cage calmly. Only briefly would she take a moment to unwrap her arm, allowing her to resume back to her full power. Even if she was typically averse to doing such a thing, Kimi didn't feel like dealing with backup again. Besides, she wanted to leave a message about what would happen to those that would cross her. With her demonic hand, she held up the corpse, walking calmly through the encampment until she reached the exit. Although a few of the slavers raised their weapons, they immediately froze upon seeing the demonic limbs upon her body, the blood smeared upon her face, and the body that she held up.

The message was clear: she was an untamable monster and anyone that tried to do so would die.

And so, she was able to escape and head back to society once again.
