Beasts Of Pennsylvania - | The Nature of the Beast |

21.

"When we get back to the compound, remind me to kick his ass." Jackson spoke in an angry tone with a huff following afterwards. Both Dean and Jackson stood outside of the bed and breakfast, ready to head back to the compound now. Davina and Charlie had just taken off, much to Jackson's distaste. He really didn't trust Charlie with his car. He was almost certain something bad would happen to it. Dean snickered.

"Sure thing." Dean replied. He went to open his door, but stopped at the presence of others nearing him. He turned to find Victor, Aaron, and Elliot approaching him. Anderson was currently being held back by various different agents with a scowl across his face. He could've easily broken loose from his restraints and taken down the humans that held him back. But he knew it'd be a dumb move considering Dean and Jackson didn't stand far from where he stood. They were stronger and faster in every way.

"Still plan on taking him?" Victor asked, pointing back at Anderson.

"If he can keep his mouth shut." Jackson grunted out as he walked over to take Anderson.

"Dean, I was hoping I could ask you something." Victor said, making Dean quirk a brow at him.

"Is Davina really transitioning into a beast?" Victor asked. Dean's breath hitched. He wasn't sure if Davina would like him talking about this. He knew that she almost revealed it to him and that Vincent actually did reveal it. But he still wasn't sure if he should say anything. However, when he looked down at the faces of her siblings and their concerned expressions, he felt he had to.

"She is. Slowly, but it's happening." Dean responded. Victor lowered his head, not wanting anybody to see the saddened expression on his face.

"Is there anyway to stop it from happening?" Elliot asked. Dean frowned lightly. He knew that Elliot knew there wasn't a way. He hadn't met anybody before who knew so much about his kind, other than those like him, of course. But he could see the look on Elliot's face. He wanted Dean to give him hope. Because just about everybody that knew her knew what route she'd prefer to take.

"I have a scientist that's worked with me for years. We've been trying to find a cure since we first met. It hasn't ever worked out for us, unfortunately. But, we are trying now more than ever to find something to stop it from happening." Dean said. Aaron stuffed his hand into his pocket, narrowing his eyes at Dean.

"Now more than ever, huh?" Aaron inquired, finding it strange that Dean would care so much to help his sister out. He didn't think either of them cared about each other like that. He felt strangely protective over her now.

"We need to. Vincent wants her to fulfill whatever crazy experiment he has planned for a human in transition. We don't know what that is or what that will look like. Therefore, we can't let him." Dean spoke.

"Can't she just turn?" Elliot asked in a small voice.

"You know her. Do you really think she'd want to?" Victor asked, turning to his nephew. Elliot stood there for a moment, knowing his sister wouldn't.

"Oh, right." Elliot said in a sullen voice. Dean could feel the emotions of the boy before him. Unfortunately for beasts, they were able to feel the emotions of others in a much more enhanced, bodily ache all over. Right now, he could feel just how upset Elliot was to hear that Davina wouldn't want to transition and would inevitably die.

"We're trying to convince her. I don't know what good it will do. But, we're trying." Dean responded.

"Thank you, Dean. For everything you're doing for Davina." Victor said. Dean only nodded his head. He stopped when he heard the sound of a snap, making him look up, past the members of the organization, and over to Jackson and Anderson. He found Anderson now on the ground, no longer being held back by the agents. His neck was currently twisted far back, telling him Jackson had something to do with it. He looked up at Jackson who was currently cracking his knuckles.
