¹ "We shouldn't have left everyone was sleeping. If they find out we left they're gonna kill us." Willy and Jessica were at the same gas station Jessica got the drinks from. "I'm being serious Jess, If they waltz into your room and see only pillows there, They're gonna send us six feet under!" Jessica continued shining the flashlight around the place ignoring Willy in the process. "They are just in there fucking around with people they just met, While I'm out here trying to figure out why the hell we're here in the first place." Jessica said talking to herself. "Well, At least they had the confidence to deal with it." Willy looked down then back up at Jessica who was standing an inch away from his face, "I'm sorry, What?" Willy didn't know how to react. He could see her sweating and how much detail she put in her make-up. They sat there in that same position for a while, Waiting for someone to say something. "I- Uhm- Got distracted." Jessica says anxiously looking away. Willy grabs her chin and positions it so that he could see her eyes again. "Stay Distracted." He said. "St-Stop. We gotta continue—Just let me go Will..." She turned around again trying to move to the doorframe of the next area, But was suddenly pulled back by Willy again. "Mmm, That door isn't gonna get you to Narnia, You can't run away from your problems." Willy said. Jessica tried again, and again, and again, and couldn't get to the door. She eventually gave up and stood there for a moment. Willy curled his fox tail around her leg, Pulling her back into the hug from behind position. He rested his head on her shoulder and his hands on her hips. "Now you listen to me. That door, Ain't getting you anywhere. But, I can." He held Jessica tight. She shuffled so much to get out of his range, But was unsuccessful. "Why are you moving so much? What's wrong with me getting this close. You seem like you're the one getting fucked around now, You sly little fox." Willy said. The impact of how deep his voice was made Jessica move her head to the other side. "Ughhhh, Stop m-messing around we got to get b-back." Jessica wanted to leave but, Will wasn't letting her move at all. "Stop Moving Jessica. Calm Down." Will said grabbing her chin once more. He pulled back on it. She was making direct eye contact with him again. "I mean, I can see your eyes even closer now." Will said. "I don't want you I have other matters to tend to." Will let of her in shock. She picked up her flashlight and started looking around once more. He was in shock, So he attempted to force it out of her. "Look here Miss.Matters-To-Tend-To," He sounded anxious or angry in a way. You could hear him breathing through his gritted teeth; Like he had injured himself. "You are not going to disrespect me like that. You're going to make me force my fangs into you like some type of rabid animal." He then snarled loudly which caught Jessica's attention. "And you don't want that do you..." Jessica decided to take this chance to attempt to run back to the watchtower. Will followed on all fours, Sprinting after and eventually catching up.
² Will grabbed her waist, "You cant run. We're you not listening? Stop trying." She immediately froze then started walking.
³ It was a quiet walk back, But they eventually made it. "Hey! We're back!" Will says. Everyone was in the living room watching TV. Everyone glanced at them walking in. "Good Timing! We were talking about why you guys look like pokemon." said Chip as she twirled her dragon key around. Jessica and Will sat down. "We figured out that, When they felt safe they transformed and shit. Because that's what happened to Issac." Issac nods to assure Nova was right. "Why do they transform though? Because Will transformed into a fox out of no where." Jessica was still a little angry at Will but, He did bring a smile to her face. "That's what we want to know? Could you tell us what happened wherever you guys were left to?" Chip says leaning back on Peter. "I can tell you," continued Will. "Jess said that she you two are too busy fucking around with people you just met. Then, I said She didn't have the confidence to deal with something you two guys had." Will looked at Jessica as He explained. "She was like 'ExCuSe Me, WhAt?' Then stared at me, I'm not saying I didn't like staring at her in the eyes. It was just how she acted after." He paused for a moment to let everyone tell their opinion."What did she do after?" Peter asked politely. "Well, She said she got distracted. So I said 'StAy DiStRaCtEd' y'know flirty type beat. She wanted to leave and I didnt want her to. So, She tried escaped my grip and she constantly kept failing. At that point, I was pissed off because she said 'ShE HaD oThEr mAtTeRs To TeNd To.' I was like, Damn. She just will not play nice with me. So I threatened to bite her neck." Everyone gasped in shock except Jessica. "Then I said, And you don't want that. Anyways, Moral of the Story is that, She pissed me off. Badly." Will said getting close to Jessica's face. "Okay, Peter hasn't switched yet so...Issac?" Chip looks at Issac. He looked up from Nova. "My Story? Okay. She did this thing where I had to wait to flirt with her until you two," He points to Chip and Peter. "Had gone to watch The News. But the way she didn't let me kiss her the night before kinda pissed me off." Issac look over at Peter. "So from the looks of it, We have to get Peter mad to turn into what he's gonna turn into." Nova says. "Right! You haven't gotten mad at me. What stuff makes you mad?" Chip asks. "When you don't pay attention to me." A grown grew on Peter's face. "Why are you looking away?" Peter asks. "Hello? Chip?" Chip doesn't pay attention. "Hey..." Peter got up and looked down. Purple dust was everywhere all a sudden. When it cleared you could see a pair of dragon wings arose from Peter's back. "Well, Howdy there sir..." Chip says scanning Peter. "You look GREAT-" She says. "What's this?" Issac noticed a highly detailed book on the table, He grabbed it and held it in his hands so everyone else can see. "It has a keyhole on the side." Nova said. The book had lavender jewels on it to contrast the black cover; It seemed like the book wasn't black for long from the green rust on it. The symbols of different types of animals on it pulled the intrest of everyone though. A pair a Foxes, A Cat, And A Dragon. "Well this is a weird mix of animals." Chip started to twirl her key again but, Was stopped by it being extremely hot for the human skin. "SHIT, THAT BURNS." Chip says catching everyone's attention. "Here, Let me take that." Peter offered to take it off. He carefully detached it from her neck so she couldn't get burnt again. Nova quickly put water into a glass cup, Peter quickly placed the key in the water. "I assume that's the key to put in this," Issac faced the keyhole towards Chip. "Try it." Chip gently put the key into the keyhole. The book made a creaking noise when it unlocked, It slowly swung open. Peter flipped through the pages. "This looks a lot like something my mom would write. Her handwriting and all." He says. He flipped through some more, Stopping at a map of someplace. "Is that the map of the whole town? Because I see the gas station right there." Issac pointed out. "I mean, The farthest me and and the girls have hunted is the lab, this tower which is here, the gas station, and the campsite." Nova pointed to all the locations on the map. "What's 'The End Panel'?" Chip saw a place at the end of the map, It looked far away from the tower so It didn't seem familiar.
⁴ "Should we go there?" Jessica asks. "I mean, Is it our way out of this hellhole?" Chip says. "I hope so but, For now we should get sleep." Issac says as he yawned. "Says the laziest one here." Will says. Issac gives Will one last look, stretches, Then leaves to go to bed. "I guess that's the night for us too. See all of you in the morning." Peter and Chip left. Nova followed. "We should get some sleep too, But I'm not sleeping until you go to sleep." Jessica says to Will.
