Pack Mentality: A SkinWalkers Tale

Chapter 2

(Northern Canada)

Snow fluttered down softly coating the pine trees in their soft powder. It was noon but at this close to the artic circle the sun was already setting but it couldn't be seen because of the storm clouds. A pack of wild wolves chased down an elk and their howls could be heard across the landscape. Nestled on a hill was a large building and painted on the side of it was a wolf skull and in side of the eye sockets was a pair of vipers. Two guards stood outside of the door.

Deep inside of the building a man laid on a table as doctors walked around him talking. They glanced at him to see his face had been bandaged up and his left eye was the only thing exposed. His ebony skin shone in the light as the doctors walked around him. His eye suddenly shot open and looked around before his head turned and looked at one of the doctors near him. The doctor saw this and quickly barked an order to the other three doctors. Once he did this they all worked to quickly restrain the man.

The lead doctor grabbed a syringe filled with a clear liquid and quickly stabbed it into the man's chest. He pushed the plunger down and looked as nothing happened. Suddenly the man grabbed the doctor and threw him across causing him to slam into some computers. The room and looked at the others backed away from him and ran out of the room. The man sat up and pulled the bandages off of his face with a roar as he freed his face. He jumped off the table and looked around before he remembered where he needed to go, he knew there was a woman in this building he needed to find. He turned and started to run to the door but stopped when he heard some coughing.

Looking back he saw the doctor crawling across the ground leaving a small trail of blood behind him. He walked back over to the man and rolled him over and knelt down to look at him. The doctor coughed again and small traces of blood came out of his mouth and rolled down his chin. The man looked at the doctors before grabbing him by the throat and standing up and lifting him off of the ground. "Where is she?" He asked looking at the doctor.

"Two levels up" The doctor said. The doctor looked at him as he dropped him back to the ground and turned and ran out of the room. Coughing again the doctor crawled over to the wall where a phone was hanging on the wall he reached up and grabbed the phone. Placing it to his ear he heard a man announce it was the security department of the building. "Project Raischenzo is trying to escape" he coughed one last time before he died right there on the spot.

In another part of the facility a lone doctor looked down at a woman laying out on a table. He reached forward and pressed his fingers to her neck and felt nothing, no pulse. He reached forward and closed her eyes and then covered her up with a clear sheet. He walked over to some charts and looked them over before glancing back to the woman. Suddenly her arms shot up pushing the sheet off of her. She looked at him as he grabbed the phone near him. Her pale skin gleamed in the lights as she launched herself off of the table. She slammed into the guy and pinned him to the wall and looked into his eyes. She saw the fright in his eyes as he looked down at her.

She let out a soft growl before she punched her fist through the man's stomach. Blood instantly began to drip from his mouth but he began to growl in pain as he felt her hand move up inside of him. Her hand clawed its way through the membrane until she gripped his beating heart. She looked into his eyes as she gripped his heart and slowly began to squeeze it. She kept squeezing his heart constricting the beating muscle until it fought to pump blood. In one quick motion she yanked her hand strait down causing the man's head to shoot skyward. She looked at her blood covered hand as she gripped the bloody heart. She tossed it to the right and looked as the man slumped to the ground blood spilling out of the wound coating the white floor.
