Natalie sat in the parking lot outside the club Safari wondering if what she heard was true. She had heard rumors about the woman who runs the place and what she can do for people. She had heard stories about things that had happened in East Meadow years ago and again recently with people being turned into beasts.
Natalie spent a lot of time on her computer and had done a lot of research. She had eventually found a message board that was not easy to find but on it was a bunch of people who had been changed by Sasha. There was a girl named Emily who had been corrupted on her birthday at the club and passed it on to her boyfriend at the time who is now her fiance and they have never been happier.
Natalie had a lot of confidence issues and didn't come from a good situation. The scar on her face she got when she was a child made it hard for people to find her beautiful. Both her parents were gone and her Stepmom was no prize. Whatever this Rak-Sasha was offering couldn't be worse than the life she was currently living.
She walked through the front door of the as the bouncer just stared at her. Even he seemed unimpressed by what he saw with her, or it was just what she assumed as she walked in covering herself with her hoodie as she began to look around the place seeing all the strange human-animal hybrid employees. It wasn't that busy there but she knew what she wanted, she just wasn't sure how to go about it as she walked over to the bar and sat down. This bald woman came walking over to her with eyes that looked like that of a snake.
She smiled at Natalie before she said: "what'll you have?"
"I....... um,"
"You're buying a drink kid, not a car."
"Not even gonna card me?" She asked before she said: "I'm looking for the Rak-Sasha," she said as the woman could hear the obvious nervousness in her voice.
"Really, you don't sound sure about that?"
"No, I'm here to see Sasha, is she around?"
"Perhaps, why do you want to see her?"
"That's private if you don't mind."
"Do you have an appointment?"
"Look," Natalie said raising her voice a little before calming down. "I saw an ad, about Sasha being able to, awakening our inner sexual beast, remaking people in a way, making them predators, and I've seen some of her work too."
The bartender got a serious look on her face for a moment before pouring her a shot of vodka. "Drink this," she said sliding the glass closer to her. "Do you even know what you're asking?"
"No, but I need to do something, I need to change," Natalie said sliding off her hood.
The bartender looked at the girl in front of her who was not ugly by any means, but she could understand a little about why she was here. She could see why to some males she was not impressive to their eyes as she examined her freckles, her curly orange hair, but more importantly, the scar under her left eye. None of these traits were bad in her eyes knowing if this girl put in a little effort she could be beautiful and was almost trying to talk her out of meeting Sasha, knowing first hand what it could mean for the poor girl.
"Look kid, I know that it must seem tough right now, but," she said leaning forward and lowering her voice. "Sasha's gift, well, it's not always a gift."
Natalie looked over the bartender and her snake-like features before she said: "do you..... regret it?" She asked.
The bartender smiled for a moment before she said: "no, but mine was different."
"And what do we have here?" A woman's voice said as Natalie could hear the clicks of heels against the hardwood floor walking up behind her. "Someone, to see me?"
Natalie looked up at the tall blonde woman standing next to her. The sexual energy oozed off the woman as she was beautiful, but there was a danger, a beastly lust behind her eyes that pierced into her soul which scared her but also told her this was the woman she needed, this was the woman who could help her.
"Are you, the Rak-Sasha?" Natalie asked as Sasha examined her for a moment.
"I am, and I think I know what you're looking for, come with me," she said before turning towards the large stairs at the other end of the room.
Natalie got up off her stool before the bartender said: "good luck kid."
She followed Sasha up the stairs as she opened two large doors. It was a nice penthouse apartment above the club as Natalie looked around at the decor and the furniture before she noticed another woman come walking out of the bedroom. She appeared to have green hair and pointed ears as she put in expensive-looking earrings.
"Hello my love," the woman said as she kissed Sasha on the lips. "And who is this?"
"I'm uh, my name is....."
