The Basilisk screamed!
The wavelength of their combined wailing was enough to burst its Eyedrums,
The Basilisk Screamed!
It burst it's eyes, blood vessels and innards,
The Basilisk Screamed!
It Shattered it's bones, teeth and Claws,
The Basilisk screamed!
It was tearing it's Flesh from it's body and as you would have it...
The Basilisk Screamed!
The creature was going die soon, the fact it could still hold on for this long was testament to it's vitality..... perhaps it's a good thing I- we decided to involve the others.
The Basilisk.... went quiet, it slumped to the floor and stopped moving.... "Is it dead?" Peters asked, "..... Maxie go check it out," I said, "Me!? why!? Peters is the youngest here! He should do it!" Maxie said, We all looked at him incredulously, "....Stop messing around and hurry up! do you think Peters has your reflexes or what?" Donna said, she was the head cook assigned to us at the city.
Reluctantly, Maxie stepped forward to inspect the Basilisk.... he kicked at its wings.... "No.... I think it's dead!" He said, "Good," I said walking over to it, I kick it myself.... just to make sure, I bend over and study it's Claws..... "Donna.... before you skin it, I need Reiss to make an antidote from it's Venom," "Okay, I'll go get him now!" "No! Peters, you-!?" The Basilisk rises from the ground quick as a snake! It slams me with its massive frame, knocking me into a nearby wall!
I go unconscious from the attack.... by the time I woke up I found myself laying on a rather uncomfortable bed! I was in the infirmary.... Amari , Maxie, Peters and Reiss was there, he was our assistant head doctor, I guess the fact I'm alive means he made the antidote and fixed me up. They all had.... a rather.... complex look on their faces.
"..."
"well?" Maxie asked.
"Well? what?" I responded.
"Aren't you going to say something?"
"I just did,"
"....."
"....uh, good morning?"
"Bastard!"
"!?"
Maxie lunged at me raising his fist in the air! but Amari grabbed him and held him back, "Do you know how worried we were!? you've been asleep for almost a week and the first thing you say is 'well? what?' Bastard!" Maxie spat, his body vibrating..... "....a week? that's- Wait is that why you wanted to hit me!? what was the plan, put in another coma!?" I shouted incredulously.
"Tch, it won't put you in a coma.... you have enough strength to shout so you'll be fine, so..... lemme hit you just once!"
"Enough!" Amari cried, "Maxie.... go cool yourself outside," "But-" "Go cool yourself outside!" "....fine, fine,"
He glared at me, "This isn't over! I'm definitely gonna get you for making me worry like- Okay! Okay! I'm going! I'm going! stop twisting my arm! It'll break you know!? you want it to break!?" He cried on his way out.
".....Emmm, I think I'm gonna go too, I'll come back with your food later" Peters said, "Wait!" I cried, "Y-yes?" "How did it go?" "What?" "The wolf race how did it go?" Realising what I meant he beemed, "We couldn't do it because of the incident.... but we'll do it as soon as you recover!" "Good.... I'll be looking forward to seeing it tomorrow!" "Of course!" He said before leaving.
"Doctor.... could you give us a minute?" Amari asked, "As you wish my Alpha," Reiss said.
"...I'm sorry," I muttered.
".....for what?" Amari asked
"..... I wasn't able to do anything..."
"No one lost their lives..... infact because of your warning everyone was prepared,"
"....I doubt that, they would have heard the Creature regardless,"
"Actually no, according to Felecia, the beast was cloaked in something similar to The mist Shadowstalkers use, perhaps the tanned one who brought it here is to thank for that,"
"Humans can do that now?"
".....Yes, the fact you were able to see it so soon is a miracle,"
"Hardly, the foolish thing slammed into Maxie and gave itself away.... By the way what happened to the foolish human?"
"He's in a cell..... we're keeping alive for interrogation, we don't understand his tongue so it's rather difficult,"
"Let me see the sheep, I'll make him sing! I'll make him sing in our tongue when I'm-"
"Barker!"
"Y-yes"
"Rest...."
"What? I've rested en-"
"REST!"
"....."
".....please" She said, squeezing my hand, her face was still.... but her eyes pleaded with me, those blood red eyes .... held sadness in them, she was relieved to see me alive and well but I guess I must've worried her more than I thought.
"Okay.... I'll do it.... I'll rest my Alpha,"
"I do not ask as your Alpha.... I ask.... please just rest for a bit..."
"I..... understand," I said squeezing her hand too..., we sat there in silence for a while, staring into each other's eyes.....
"Barker.... I am going outing in 3 days time.... I wish to.... inspect the land! The area round here is ..... not yet familiar to me.... would you care to join me?"
"Gladly.... I'll look forward to it,"
