Queen of the Cats

Kaena ran quickly through the forest, her black fur mingling with the trees in the dark making her impossible to detect. She could hear twigs snapping under her feet as she ran but did nothing to try to hide the noise. She knew that the sound would frighten her victim, letting him know that she was close by.

Stopping for a moment, she smelled the night air, detecting his smell coming at her from further into the forest. Listening she could hear his feet as they pounded against the ground and his breath that was coming in quick frightened gasps. Starting to run again, she moved alongside him the trees, waiting till he was almost safe in his own land before making her move.

Moving around in front of him, she pounced, knocking him onto his back. Changing back into woman form, she used her body as weight to pin him to the ground.

Ashen did not remember anymore what had possessed him to go into the land of the Cats. But it had been important, he remembered that much, important enough to risk himself in such a strange and magical land that was quite honestly beyond his power, well perhaps just beyond the faintest grasp of his power. He strong, unrivaled on neutral or his own ground in terms of mental and magical strength, his eyes glowed with the aurora of power that he possessed. But it quickly became quite useless when you were being stalked by a cat, in the very heart of her kingdom, anywhere else Ashen would not be shivering as he ran to escape the long claws of her power.

But here, so near to her castle, with his magical protection waning from her constant attacks, he was afraid. His darting eyes glowed with danger and fear around the dark forest, searching but not finding the dark shadows that would tell him of her presence.

Then before he knew it, he was on his stomach, pinned by a heavy, lightly breathing form. He felt the shift along his back, the breasts being pushed into his back and the shapely hips growing over his buttocks, and he knew he was in trouble. Ashen had never been a physical match for anyone, it had always been his magic that kept him superior to his foes and friends alike, now he felt utterly helpless, unlike his brother, he could not simply snap this enemy with one of his fingers. He would be the one that was snapped, should he even try.

Kaena could smell his fear as she pinned him to the ground, also smelling the magic on his skin. Growling, she pulled both of his hands behind his back before dragging him to his knees in front of her. Grabbing him by the hair she turned his head to look at her, glancing over his hard body as she did so.

"Thought you could get away from me did you?" she said coldly tying his hands behind his back. "You have much to learn about me."

For his lack of physical strength, Ashen was still quite the loud mouth, "It is not as if you've taught me anything yet, bitch." Then he was quiet, realizing he had said too much for the position he was in. He struggled a bit with his bonds, knowing the simplest of thousands of spells that would break the bonds easier then snapping his fingers, but being unable to use them just yet. He needed to save his energy up, only once it was back would he be able to conjure any sort of force to aid his escape.

Kaena's temper flared at his insolence. Moving to stand in front of him she hit him hard across the face, splitting his lip. She had to restrain herself from striking him again.

"You will learn soon enough," she said, her hand in his hair again, wrenching his head up to look at her. "You will not be so stubborn and proud once I am through with you."

Pulling Ashen to his feet, she pushed him towards her castle, her hand tightly holding his arm as she moved him along.

Ashen knew he was stubborn, but proud? "Where did you get proud from?" He asked, shaking his shoulder from her grip, well trying to and receiving a painful jerk in return for his effort, he gave up with a roll of his eyes. "It's not like i'll be going anywhere bitch, you don't need to saw off my arm." He growled, the smallest of growls coming to his throat as his razor red eyes stared into hers, burning into her hard.

"I know your kind," Kaena growled. "If there is anything said about you, it won't be that you are not a proud people, but, I will break you of that, along with your stubborness"

Kaena tightened her grip on his arm, digging her nails into his skin. "You'd do better to remember that it is not smart to try to tell me what to do."

As he growled at her, she could feel a slight shiver of his magic coursing through her, though it was weak. She knew if she allowed him to regain his strength he would be a challenge to control. Pulling up short, she unhooked a ring from her belt, with closer look one could see it was a collar.

Opening the collar, she moved quickly to fasten it around his throat before he had a chance to pull away from her.

"Don't bother trying to use your magic on me," she said coolly. "The collar will not let you and if you do, you will regret it." She didn't need to elaborate on what she meant by her words, he would find out next time he tried to raise his magic. Pushing him ahead of her, she could see her castle looming in the distance.

Ashen sighed as he felt the collar slip into place, it was a sigh heavy with disappointment, he knew he would now not be able to use his magic for quite sometime, unless he was given limitless time to build up his energy, or someone was either to return him to freedom, or give him a spell of rehabilitation's. All of which were very unlikely, he eyed the castle carefully, like an observer in a dungeon. "I've seen them before." He said, growling in disgust at the feel of hard metal against his skin, "Used them too, do not play me to be some cheap fool Kaena, I am not my brothers strength, but I have other traits that you know of." Ashen did not even turn his head as he talked, instead he walked slowly towards the gates, never slow enough for Kaena to complain, but always just a inch too slow between his steps.

Kaena growled quietly at his words. His arrogance was starting to get on her nerves. She could wait to get him back to her chambers and teach him a few lessons about what she was capable of and why she was feared by wolves and cats alike.

"I believe it is you that has taken me for a fool," she hissed in his ear walking quickly now, pulling him along beside her, forcing him to walk faster. "I am well aware of your traits and though you may think you know what this collar is capable, you may not want to test it."

Passing under the castle gates, Kaena moved to the front door which was immediately opened for her by her guards. Pulling Ashen down the hallway she brought him to her chamber door stopping to smile evilly. Opening the door she pushed him inside, the heavy door clanking shut behind them.

Upon quick glance the room seemed like a normal bedroom, sparsely furnished with a large bed in the middle of the room, but, if one took the time to actually explore what was hidden behind the heavy curtains lining the wall they would know to fear what could happen behind those closed doors.

Pushing him down on his knees she undid his hands and backed away from him. "Get undressed," she ordered, waiting to see if he would comply with her orders.

With a grimace Ashen looked around the room, he could smell the blood and sexual fluids, old and stained into the floor. He could smell it, see the dark spots along the wall and floor, "You certainly like to keep a clean house." He quipped, shrugging from his trousers and tunic in an easy movement, in fact he didn't move his arms to do so. The magic he used could be controlled by the collar from leaving his body, at least this particular kind could, he'd used them before and guessed correctly that this type only stopped the magic from leaving.

So his clothes slid off, quickly in fact. He had no qualms about what she had been hinting and alluding too the whole trip. "Now what?" He asked, snarling a bit as his red eyes continued to stare at her, burning brightly with anger, no fear showed in his eyes. It was all a matter of time to Ashen, there was an end to all this in site, something he could live with.

Kaena looked up and down his hard body, admiring his firm muscles and large cock. She licked her lips at the thought of what she was going to do with him now. She could see the anger in his eyes but there wasn't the fear that she was usually used to with her captives. She would remedy that in time. He would learn to fear her.

Walking across the room she grabbed his collar and pulled him to his feet. Dragging him to the bed she pushed him up on to it before moving to the head of the bed to pick up one of the chains that were fastened there.

"Are you going to make this easy for the both of us and lay down for me or am I going to have to force you?" she asked, hoping he chose the second choice. She was in the mood to show him what she was capable of.

"As I said, i'm not stupid bitch, God you stink worse then a real cat in the heat." Ashen said, crawling into the bed with a half snarl, half chuckle at his own words. She did smell, he could sense her excitement begin to flood her pussy, it was actually a delicious smell, but for Ashen it meant trouble, he knew that much. His eyes fell onto the chain, he grimaced a bit, wondering how long it would take his energy to build up, at this rate he wouldn't be able to do anything until the next day, especially if she did what he thought she would do. No matter, he knew his own body intimately, there were certain things Kaena could not control, no matter how powerful she was.

Ashen rolled onto his back with a smug grin on his lips, and watched as she fastened first his wrists, then his ankles to the bed. The chains were quite tight around his appendages, making it impossible to get loose from, but were not extremely tightly pulled, thus giving his arms and legs a bit of freedom, no matter, Ashen was no warrior and would not attempt to be a hero of any kind, not this way. He did however, give them an experimental tug, a grin glittered through his lips as he did so, he knew it.

Kaena growled at his words before moving to attach the chains to his hands and feet, making sure that they were extra tight. She was a little disappointed that he had not put up a fight but she knew he would fight her eventually. She could see his smug smile and realized that he was too confident that his magic would protect him from her. Did he not realize that she had her own magic, which had been used to create his collar, so much like ones he had encountered before on first glance, but, so different.

Running her hand down his hard body, starting at his chest across his stomach and over his cock and down the inside his leg, she could feel his magic on his skin, making her hair stand up on her arms. Smiling wickedly at him she called her own magic to her hands before running them back over his body, her magic enhancing the sensuality of her touch on his skin.

Ashen shivered as he felt the magic running into his pours, it felt delicious and made his eyes glow with pleasure and lust. "I don't see how this is supposed to break my pride, but I really can't complain." He said softly, groaning a bit as her fingers brushed across his dick. In reality Ashen knew exactly what the bitch would do, she would give him all this pleasure, probably mixed with pain and make him beg, beg to cum or let her go. If she kept touching him like she was, he would quickly be well above the situation, floating in a cloud of magic and pleasure, the touch of hers infused his body with sensual sparkles, he enjoyed it immensely. Not only because of the delicious touch, but the knowledge of the power that flowed from those fingers into his body, he was quite glad he'd met someone who might perhaps have gotten the upper hand on him and his magic, it was a challenge, one he was beginning to turn the tide on as she felt him up.

"You will lose your pride when you beg me, slave," Kaena said, climbing up beside him on the bed. "And don't even bother saying that you will never beg for me, you don't want to challenge me that way."

Kaena could see the pleasure she was giving his body by soft touches. She could feel his magic interwining with her own and quickly pulled hers back again, realizing that he was drawing power from her touch. She didn't need her magic to incite feelings of pleasure in his body.

Sliding her hand up his inner thigh, she leaned in and kissed up the side of his neck nibbling softly before biting him hard as her hand closed over his cock, squeezing him slightly.

Ashen twitched slightly from the pain in his ear, and moaned a bit at the pleasure that leaped from the tip of his cock to his brain. She had pulled her magic back, but it was far too late for that, she had sped up his regeneration seven fold and it would not be but a few hours now, before he was ready to test this collar about his neck, he doubted it could contain the particular spell he was thinking of.

For now he would enjoy the pleasure she was giving him, the blood now dripping from his ear onto the bed disturbed him a bit, he did not enjoy the smell or sound of the small drops as the moved to the white sheets. "Your sheets will be quite sodden by the end of this I fear Kaena," He laughing arrogantly and flicked a small lock of his red hair to the side of his face, "No matter how much you tempt me, I know you already want this more then I do." He could smell how much she was dripping, with his blood on her claws, the juice leaking from her pussy had grown twice as thick in flow and volume, streaking down her legs now.

"You pretend to know me so well," she said, licking the blood from his skin. "You know nothing of what I am capable of." Slowly she began to stroke his hardening cock, ignoring the throbbing of need between her legs. Her mouth continued to move up and down his neck, licking and nibbling before moving down his chest, licking his nipple to test his reaction before moving lower down his stomach.

Hovering her mouth just above his hard cock, she let her hot breath flow down upon him as she used her magic again to slowly tighten his collar effectively cutting off his air supply. His cock grew larger as she slowly strangled him and she smiled as he began to thrash against the bed. Loosening the collar again she slowly licked the end of his cock before looking up at him.

"I don't need to make you bleed to gain my pleasure from you," she whispered as she licked him again. "It is just a bonus."

The asphyxiation and stroking along his cock made Ashen feel like his whole body was ready to pop, to explode in orgasm and pleasure simultaneously. But it went away as the collar released from his neck, he coughed and spluttered, then breathed deeply in the air. "Oh and choking me is so much more pleasurable." He quipped, before coughing again and taking another couple deep breaths.

No matter what he had planned, Ashen was enjoying the tease along his cock that was nearing, but still hadn't reached full erection due to her soft strokes and hot breath and rough animal tongue. Her rash act of pushing more magic through him had brought him even closer to reaching a point where he would be absolutely sure the spell would work. Even now he was beginning to carefully go over the spell, from beginning to end, it deflated his cock and nothing Kaena could do would bring it back to erection, save for pouring more magic into his body, Ashen doubted she was stupid enough to try that, though it might be the only thing to pull away his concentration from the process of spell binding.

Kaena frowned as he cock deflated in her hand. He was using magic to gain control over his body. She knew he was up to something and she frowned again trying to determine what he was doing. She was not too worried about any type of spell that he may have been conjuring, sure that the collar would not allow him to cast it.

"Hmm, it seems pleasure does nothing for you," she said moving away off of the bed. "Perhaps I shall show you pain then." Moving behind one of the curtains that hung along the wall she returned carrying a small wooden box. Setting it on the bed she opened it to reveal a wicked collection of knives, forged of silver. She had used the knives many times before and knew that they caused great pain to any werewolf or were cat that they were used on. There was no need of magic to cause the pain, the silver did it for her as well as effectively weakening the victim.

Picking up the largest knife she smiled evilly at him, while sliding the dull side of the knife over the skin of his bare stomach. Suddenly she turned the blade, drawing it hard across his skin, a fresh line of blood instantly appearing. Slowly she licked along the cut while her hand moved the knife against his inner thigh.

At first Ashen had paid no attention to whatever it was the queen was up to, he was too much concentrated on the spell to notice her absence. The collar was a bit more complicated then he'd thought it would be, a maze of sorts was required to be passed before he was able to direct his full power onto the weak spots of the collar. But the immense pain that shot from his gut the moment the blade was drawn across it made him loose his focus, crumbling the maze and making his pain flash in white hot pain. "You little bitch!" He screamed, his voice much higher then it was intended to be.

He lifted his head up at the blood, then saw her tongue trailing through it. "Oh, gross." He said, throwing his head to the side and pulling his eyes shut tightly, the blood in his sight and smell was disgusting, not to mention the lick her heard as her tongue dove between his skin. All three of those however, were nothing in comparison to the queasiness he felt from the feeling of her rough, sand paper tongue in his body, licking the very blood from him. It was sensuous, in such a very odd and strange way Ashen did not notice it, it only made him sicker in the stomach. The stinging slowly faded from his mind as it went back to work on the maze, his eyes closing, buts till glowing brightly in red as his mind worked furiously.

Kaena smiled at his scream as the knife bit into his skin. "Bitch?" she said laughing softly. "Is that all you have to say?" Seeing that her tongue lapping up his blood was making him queasy and forget the pain, she stopped and looked up at him. She could see that his eyes were closed and he seemed to be concentrating on something.

Turning the blade against his inner thigh, she slowly licked up the side of his cock as she drew the blade across the skin knowing that the soft skin of his thigh would be even more painful than his stomach was.

Looking up at him again, she noticed that the collar around his neck was starting to glow, an indication that he was trying to use his magic against it. He would soon learn that he was making a mistake in trying to break the magic of the collar, she had seem stronger men that him reduced to a screaming and blubbering mess when they had tried to use magic against the collar. Well she wasn't going to warn him, he would find out for himself.

The pain in his leg felt idle now, Ashen was so close to the end he could taste it. He'd felt every trap along the way, this collar had been ingeniously designed, and he'd nearly triggered the traps several times. Because of this he was near the end of his magic, but he pressed on, knowing it was now or ever. All of his extremities had gone cold and numb, only his heart, neck and head carried any blood or feelings anymore.

The collar had been designed for two different types of attacks, one, the most common would be a simple all out assault to the collar with magical power, not a good idea. It was nearly indestructible from the outside, and only broke inwards, which would choke the victim to death quickly should they be stupid enough to try. The other type was the kind Ashen had used, a slow inside out approach that would find the weak points of the iron, and press and coddle them until they were ready to give and the collar would fly apart. But the catch was the mazes, they hindered anyones ability to concentrate any force into the weak spots. And if you tried to force it, it would settle of one of any number of traps to kill the wearer.

Ashen had outwitted the collar and as it popped off his neck, the metal didn't make a sound. Neither did his cuffs as they slipped from his ankles and wrists, "I like the word, it applies to you, and your kind." He said softly, as life finally returned to his limbs and energy flooded his body, still it was slow in coming because of his proximity to the heart of Kaena's homeland, but he was drawing it quickly enough to be very, very effective with it.

The metal chains shot to Kaena and wrapped about her arms and legs like snakes, pinning her to the ground and flicking the knife from her wrist. Ashen stood up in a slight daze, motioning with one hand and making the queen's skin melt over her own mouth, not painfully, but quickly so she could not yell or speak. The bubble of energy floating around her head was impenetrable by her telepathic abilities, and untouchable by anything else. "Now, M'lady." Ashen said, groaning a bit as he healed the wounds on his thighs and stomach, "You did catch me, but only when I was at my weakest, i've bested you at your strongest point, thought i'm clearly not out of the woods yet. I think it's safe to say you underestimated me, we both think much to highly of ourselves." Ashen paused to look around, wondering exactly how he was going to escape from this fortress.

Kaena glared at him as he spoke to her, her anger making her eyes shine brightly. He had figured out how to break out of her collar, she had to admit she had not expected that at all. Now, he thought he had turned the tables on her, using her own chains against her, but, he forgot that he was standing in her domain where all things bent to her will.

Using her own magic she removed the seal upon her mouth and concentrated on how to remove the bubble of energy from around her head as well as the chains. "I have to give you that one," she said, tugging on the chains, testing their strength. "You have impressed me with your power and intelligence. But, you have forgotten one thing, this is my home and I gain my power from the very land we stand on. You may have won this battle and may escape my grasp this time, but, if you wish to get out of this alive I would move fast. It won't take me long to figure out how to free myself and call my guards out after you."

Ashen was not listening to Kaena, even as she spoke he was walking towards the door, glancing down the hallway he saw no one, even after he sent feelers out he felt no life forms. She kept this part of her castle dead obviously, know one was to know what went on here but probably her most trusted slaves and advisor's. When he whirled back around to Kaena he knew he would have to act quickly, it was only a matter of time before she figured out which spells he had used on her, he would not even bother to try and defend against her attacks once she figured it out, that would be pointless for him.

So instead he quickly released all her bonds from her body, but before she could move a single piece of hard iron snapped from the others and darted up her ass, into her bowels, through her digestive system and up into her throat, it was lodged just below her windpipe. Experimentally Ashen flexed the metal, expanding it a bit, instantly she began to choke, then he moved it to one side. To keep the metal from puncturing her lungs and heart she had to follow. Ashen nodded as if satisfied.

He then took a coil of the chain and wrapped it around his hand loosely, but it looked as if he was tied tightly. He then walked in front of Kaena, making her follow with the piece of metal lodged in her throat, he slipped back into his clothes. "You are taking me to the fields, I am unworthy of your presence and you are going to kill me. If anyone asks you must say something to that extent, if you don't, i will kill you and your guards will kill me and we will both go to our next life, living as whatever the Gods please. It is up to you, the decision." Then he walked out the doors, forcing Kaena to follow with the metal, down the stairs and into the courtyard they made it before a servant noticed them.

"Kaena, m'lady." He said softly, bowing before standing and asking politely. "Is everything all right?" Noticing the strange look on her face.

Kaena was startled as the piece of cruel iron snaked through her body. As he expanded it in her throat she panicked momentarily, not able to breath and then relaxed as he removed the pressure. She glared at him as he gave his orders, her mind thinking quickly on how to remove the metal from her throat.

Following close behind him, she silently called the magic of her castle and land into her body, knowing it was the only way she would be strong enough to beat him at his own game. She gasped quietly as the power flowed into her body, having never used it before she had not known what to expect. She could feel the surge of power going through her body, the very magic that was used to defend their castle walls against an army.

Concentrating she quickly sorted through the spells he had laid upon her body, looking up in delight as it all came to her at once, allowing her to cough up and spit out the piece of metal into her hand and release his hold on her. She quickly disintegrated it in her hand, allowing the dust pieces to trail behind her, using a confusion spell to make him think that he was controling her.

As they ran into the servant she played along with his orders, not wanting him to know yet that she was free to do what she wished.

"No, everything is good," she replied to the servant who had approached them. "This insolent cur is unworthy of serving your queen and I am taking him to be executed in the fields. He doesn't even warrant the honor of having his blood shed in my chamber as so many have before him."

The servant gave her a strange look but bowed low allowing them to pass. She knew it wouldn't be long before her guards were notified of her strange behaviour, all her people knowing that she relished the thought of torturing and killing her enemies in the privacy of her own chamber, having never brought them out into the field before to do the job. She allowed Ashen to think he was still leading her until they were nearly to the castle gates.

Stopping suddenly, she called her magic up again, smiling as he turned towards her, now aware he no longer had a hold upon her. With a quick motion of her hand, he was forced to his knees before her by an unseen force, his magic slowly being drained from his body.

"It seems the tables have turned again, Ashen," she said walking to stand beside him. "I did warn you to move quickly, but, alas your love for trickery and spells has now become your downfall."
