Cedric
I look away quickly, the last thing I want is for the fuckers to notice what I'm staring at. I try hard to hold back a smile as I think about the hell that's waiting for those assholes, closing my eyes, I relax further, through the process of the blood transition, I imagine the second those wolves will break the glass and jump in- the horror, the screams, the sound of flesh being ripped- but then, I open my eyes and turn my head slowly, to my specific victim, there, standing at the door, I locate the major asshole, Detective Mayers. He stares back at me with the same solemn expression, but then the sound of blood flow stops, and the tubes are pulled out of my arms and Rain's, only when I hear one scientist saying "the process is completed", I finally let go, and a huge devilish and familiar grin shows across my face as I stare at the detective, his face falls and I link with Zevrus "now!", I jump upright as I hear the sound of glass breaking, the last thing I see before turning to lift Rain up in my arms is the Detective's terrified and shocked face, like a dear in a headlight, he's holding his pistol and looking around in panic.
Just like I imagined, the screams, the blood splashing around covering all the white space, Zevrus' voice comes up in my head "I'm escaping right now, get Rain and get the fuck out of there!"I snap out of my daze, I hold Rain tighter and aim for the stairs and balcony, but before I could jump, a gunshot sound shoots through the chaos and I feel hot white pain in the back of my shoulder. I stumble forward and almost drop Rain, but luckily I manage to find my footing and stand up straight again, even before I turned around, I clearly knew who shot the bullet, my eyes dart around again, this time, I'm looking for someone else, where the fuck is he? , I focus and link with him "Darious", and just like that, he steps from the jumbled crowd of chaos and approaches me, "yes, alpha", I hand him Rain "take her out of here, there's something I need to do, make sure everyone retreats, and make sure Zevrus is out when you are".
Dariuos nods as he holds Rain, I shift into my werewolf form, then I turn around just in time to see the Detective staring at me with wide frightened eyes, then he runs out of the room. My instincts tell me to chase him, and my wolf loves chasing a prey, I look at Rain again and raise my finger to caress her face gently, 'we will meet again', I say the words to her, though I know she doesn't hear me, but then I lock eyes with Darious "go!". He jumps on the stairs, the balcony, and out of the broken windows up in the ceiling. I close my eyes and take a deep breath, then I open them and turn around, time to kill an asshole.
Zevrus
my plan has worked, I can taste my freedom as I run through the endless maze of corridors and tight passages, when I was taken to the lab to extract the wolf's bane out of my blood system, I was in a barely conscious state, yet I was awake enough to notice the ceiling and the windows, those windows were the only ones without iron bars, and just like that, I had an idea. Later on, when I was taken back to the damned cell, I tried to focus as much as possible, in order to e able to mind link with Cyprus, but I had no power left in me, and the shitty device they put on my neck made it worse, my wolf was confused, and then it turned worse when it seemed that my wolf isn't my wolf anymore. If Rain hadn't noticed the device, I would've stayed trapped inside my wolf form.Hell, I even had a hard time shifting back to my human form even after the device was torn off from my neck. my wolf was too alarmed and I had to calm him down and wait for him to be able to trust going back to the 'fragile' human form.
After I was able to calm down and gain some energy, I finally managed to mind-link with Cyprus, he seemed worried and embarrassed after I gave him a piece of my mind about letting Rain come here, he sure said something that justified his actions- 'Zevrus, the girl is just too stubborn, she threatened to do it with or without me'. His words sure made me snort a little laugh out, my mate had the heart of a warrior for sure. Cyprus and I planned an escape through an attack, I told him about the ceiling windows and he made sure to send as many werewolves as possible, he mind linked with me after a while saying he managed to gather 15 werewolves in total, and since he can't leave the pack area while we're here, the head of the operation will be, of course- Darious, as expected. The guy can't help butting in everything, but his forwardness and bravery are mostly appreciated.
And now, here I am, running like a hound out of hell, literally, I hear gunshots behind me, and I run faster and faster, towards the lab. The only way out is those windows, just a little bit further and I'll be out. I feel two, three bullets pierce my skin, but thank fuck those are regular silver bullets, and thank fuck those idiots believe that bullshit about silver affecting werewolves. I keep running, gripping the floor beneath my hands and pushing forward. Finally, I reach the lab, and I see the broken glass. Rain isn't there which means she's out, and hopefully, so is Cedric.
Darious
I look back at the now far away headquarters in the distance, the wolves and I destroyed the fucking place before we all got out. And now we stopped to rest, some needed to heal after some nasty wounds, others were emotionally tired since they did this to avenge their loved ones, lost between fucked up experiments and military operations.
I place Rain down gently, and I observe her. It's been so long since I saw her, she looks different, tired, skinny, pale, her arms are full of piercings, there's a strange smell coming out of her, her blood smells… different, it's like a new type of blood. I sit beside her and shift into my human form, waiting for her to wake up, if she wakes up.
a while passes, Zevrus shows up, and we argue about Cedric, "how the fuck is he not here?! he was there with Rain!", I try to hold back my anger, if there's anything I hate, is being shouted at, I raise my hands "Zevrus, you need to calm down, I told you, he was fine, and he handed me Rain, said there was something he had to do", Zevrus balled his fists and turned around to look at the headquarters, then he shouted "FUCK!", shifted into his werewolf form and ran back towards the quarters. One of the guys with me tried to go after him, but I blocked him with my arm and shook my head, "let him be, now isn't the good time to try and stop him". The guy looked at me, then swallowed and nodded, stepping back to sit with the others.
I was lost in thought, when I heard a moan, I looked back down at Rain, she was squirming and her arm was covering her eyes, I hurried to her side and caressed her head "hey, hey, your awake'', she moved her arm and opened her eyes slightly, then a frown formed on her face "D-Darious?" I smiled down at her, "hello, sweetcheeks".
