Nova's Tale: Chapter One
Author's note: This is my first ever Furfic so please be gentle and I'll try not to sound too much like a n00b.
Also, um, there is no easy way to explain what this story is exactly or what it's eventually supposed to be. I came up with the idea for this story quite awhile back but ran out of steam before I could really even get it started. I haven't written anything in quite awhile and one of the most common bits of advice I've heard for how best to get over writer's block is simply to write, so that's one of the main reasons why I'm writing this fic now.
Warnings!: This is a first time fic written by an amateur author. There will be mature content in this story but please be aware that the author is a virgin and a lesbian with no prior experience in regards to sex or relationships whatsoever and therefore one should probably try not to set their expectations too high. The will be mentions of drugs, non-consensual sexual activities, slavery, BDSM themes, some use of less-than-civil language, and probably a multitude of other things the author can't think of right now to warn you about. There will be humans in this fic as well. If you are worried the entire fic will be nothing but mindless PWP smut it won't, or at the very least I hope it won't as I intend for it to actually function as an actually story. It just happens to include plenty of sex. SO! If this fic does not sound as if it will be your particular brand of tea please feel free to move on.
For those of you willing to stick around, constructive criticism, suggestions and the like are all welcome and very much appreciated. Along with the odd/random comment. Thank you and enjoy!
Nova's Tale
Chapter 1: The Beginning
...Nova slowly opened her eyes, only to immediately shut them with a groan as a bright light pierced them. She had no idea where she was or why she was even there. She felt sluggish and confused... And was she tired... So very tired... But she needed to know where she was. She opened her eyes again, squinting this time try and avoid being blinded again. The light was still bright but she could see a little at least... She was in a large white room. The walls were bare, and windowless... Moving was difficult but she managed to turn her head a little. There was some kind of unidentifiable machine and strange medical equipment hooked up next to her bed. The bed was hard -Or was it even a bed? It felt more like she was lying on some kind of table. A cold metal table no less...
She had no idea where she was or what she was there for... Nor could she remember how exactly she had come to be there...
In fact...
The last thing she could recall was...
"Raucous male laughter rang loudly through the crisp October air accompanied by the drunken whoops and jeers of the inebriated young teenagers as they darted about the abandoned city park shooting at each other with paintball markers.
It was Halloween night; Nova had intended to just stay home and watch the annual scary movie marathon. But of course, the guys had showed up and somehow managed to convince her to come out with them and try to gate-crash a few high school parties.
Their lack of costumes had been easy enough to fix of course, a quick drive up to the nearest Halloween store and they were set to go.
The issue of gate-crashing hadn't been quite as easy to solve however and after a few hours of unsuccessful attempts they had given up and headed down to the park instead.
She honestly had no idea where they'd gotten the paintball guns from, or the beer for that matter. Nor could she seem to find a reason to care anymore either way. Ever the fly weight of the group, Nova had been among the first to get drunk after only a couple of sips. She was followed closely by the Kelly cousins Nick, Jasper, and Dante with the Hemmings brothers Chaz and Chad bringing up the rear.
So now there they were running around in the park in the middle of the night, their faces smeared with grease paint, wearing camouflage pajamas and cheap plastic bullet belts, shooting each other in the ass with paintballs guns. Awesome. A small part of her brain couldn't help wondering how long it would take for someone to call the cops on them. Aw well, no use worrying that right now.
Currently Nova was darting through the underbrush, dodging trees and shrubs alike while simultaneously trying to outrun two of the Kelly cousins, she wasn't quite sure which two, and blindly return fire every now and again. She could hardly see her own goddamn feet right now, let alone the boys. Luckily she'd spent enough time running around in the park over the years that she had a fairly good idea of where she was and where she was trying to go so she kept on running-
Only to pull up short as she suddenly found herself at the edge of a sheer drop off. Somehow she'd managed to run herself to the top of one of the steepest hills in the entire park without even realizing it and was just one step from falling down into the dark unknown.
Skirting back uneasily she tried to look around and figure out where she'd ended up. She was standing in the middle of a small open clearing at the very top of the hill with moonlight shining down through the bare tree branches. It was actually quite beautiful, the way everything in the clearing seemed to be bathed in dark shadows with highlights of silvery moonlight. It would have made a great picture actually, if only she'd had a camera on her she could-
There was a sudden rustling to her right.
Then a flash of movement to her left.
Nova whipped around trying to spot them in the underbrush and took a single step back-
Only to feel open air beneath her heel.
Turning slightly, she tried to see where exactly she'd placed her foot in order to correct herself before she ended up f-
A sharp pain suddenly blossomed near her hip. Nova fumbled with her marker as pure shock ripped through her before she finally let it drop to the ground. She felt strangely lightheaded, nearly swaying on her feet where she stood. It actually took a moment before she finally managed to pluck out the small foreign object that had lodged itself in her backside. She came close to dropping it as well as a wave of lethargy seemingly crashed over her, before finally managing to hold it up to the moonlight to see what it was-
An empty dart.
The last thing she remembered thinking was something along the lines of 'Who the hell brings a dart gun to a paintball fight?'
And then she was falling..."
Nova's brow creased with confusion. She couldn't remember hitting the bottom but for some reason it seemed almost as if she had fallen through something just as she passed out. She vaguely seemed to recall a sensation almost like passing through water but warm and dry despite the liquid-like feel... And it seemed as if the last thing she saw as she lost consciousness was a haze of... Pink? What the hell? That didn't even make sense!
Nova was still pondering the strangeness of her muddled memories when the light suddenly flared brighter, forcing her to close her eyes or be blinded. Footsteps... She could hear footsteps. Someone was coming. There was the sound of a door opening and closing but Nova couldn't see, the light was too bright to open her eyes. The footsteps came closer, stopping by the head of her table.
A shadow fell over her; Nova carefully opened her eyes to see what it was. A figure was standing over her, partially blocking out the bright light. The light seemed to halo out around their head, throwing their features in shadow. Nova tried to concentrate, to pick out some kind of details about the figure but for some reason her eyes just couldn't seem to stay focused long enough to really get a clear look. She opened her mouth to speak-
Only to feel the sudden prick of a needle in her arm.
The shadowy figure began speaking, though Nova had no idea who they were talking to. "Administration of Velvet is complete. Subject should be under in a matter of seconds."
Dizziness began to set in, along with a cold feeling of dread. 'Under'? What did she need to go 'under;' for? What the hell was going on?
There was a sound of a switch being turned, then the hum of machinery. "Alternator is now online." Spoke a new voice from somewhere near by.
Alterwhat now? It was so difficult to concentrate...
The hum of the machine grew steadily louder.
"Beginning modification process..."
She was beginning to feel sleepy... So sleepy...
"Now."
Darkness claimed her and she knew no more...
