Beasts Of Pennsylvania - | The Nature of the Beast |

"Look who's finally decided to join us." Charlie said. Davina slowly opened her eyes, finding Charlie at the end of her bed, waving at her with a smile.

"Can you walk?" Dean asked, making himself known to Davina. She turned her head, finding him beside her bed in a chair.

"I just woke up. Can you give my body a minute to do the same?" Davina sassed him.

"We have somewhere to be, Davina. We can't go until you're dressed and in the car." Jackson spoke, making Davina frown.

"Where are we going?" Davina asked as she began to sit up.

"Victor needs your help. Said you're the only one he trusts with him on the field." Dean replied. Davina sighed as she went to stand. She almost lost her footing. The three beasts noticed this and all stood but Jackson was quick to approach her and rest his hands on her hips, holding her still. Dean tried to hide the glare appearing on his face.

"You should be able to let go now." Davina said once she felt steadied enough. Jackson did so, returning his hands to his jacket pockets.

"Good?" Jackson asked. Davina nodded in response. Dean watched as the two interacted, not liking what he saw in their eyes. He nudged Davina slightly over to her dresser. She would've scoffed at him if she hadn't remembered what Lucian had said the previous day. She decided she'd try to act at least somewhat kind to him. She mentally sighed, thinking about how difficult he made it for her. She could be kind to Jackson and Charlie with ease at most times. Dean infuriates her with everything he does and she isn't quite sure why.

"Victor said to bring all of the weapons you need. Eloise has breakfast downstairs ready for you. Go eat once you're dressed." Dean said as he began to exit the room with Jackson and Charlie following behind. Once Davina was dressed, she headed down to the kitchen to find Eloise running around, creating breakfast for the other beasts.

"Hello, dear! Breakfast is on the counter!" Eloise said.

"Would you like some help?" Davina asked as she entered the kitchen.

"Oh, no! You have somewhere you need to be. Besides, I overheard you hit your head last night. You should probably sit." Eloise said.

"I hit my head?" Davina asked.

"Oh, yes. Mr. Charlie said you hit your head against one of the metal beds before hitting the ground." Eloise said. Davina hummed and reached her hand back to her head, feeling the area she had gotten hit at.

"Ah, I see." Davina said as she pressed lightly, feeling immense pain. Davina then noticed Eloise struggling to plate some of the trays. She made her way over to the stove, scooping whatever was in the large pot into smaller bowls set on the trays. Eloise turned to find Davina helping her out. A small smile formed on her face as she stood watching, feeling grateful.

"And where are we headed, my King?" Charlie asked from downstairs in one of the many hallways leading to the labs.

"I am headed to the lab to check on the sample Sasha and Brayden worked on over the night." Dean spoke.

"You know, they had to do it then because Davina foolishly drew her own blood and it didn't get stored afterward." Jackson replied.

"You say that like it's my fault and it isn't!" Charlie whined.

"Were you not fast enough to catch up to the human girl?" Jackson inquired.

"She is not entirely human! She is turning into a beast. Slowly, but it's happening!" Charlie defended himself as they all headed down to the lab. Sasha and Brayden quickly turned with tubes in hand. Sasha set the tubes down carefully and took off her goggles.
