The wolf inside you is raging... but even that feels distant and far away.
It doesn't take your pack long to arrive.
Vicky is the first. She strides in from God only knows where, takes one look at the scene, and immediately starts pulling Sergi from his bed. When the doctor tries to stop her, she gives him a look which silences him instantly.
You see a flicker of gold in her gaze.

Elma comes over to you as the others gather around Sergi. "Are you okay, Gideon Mercer?"
"I'm fine," you lie. "Let's get out of here."
Vicky hauls Sergi from the bed.
"No," the doctor protests. "You can't leave! And you can't take him! He's a patient. He's—-"
"Get out of our way," Vicky growls... and it is a growl. Deep, ugly, and inhuman.
All the colour drains out of his cheeks. "Who are you people?" he asks, voice thin.
