"Go back," I hurriedly pushed Esther off the path we had been following, aiming for the clearing we were resting in earlier. She stumbled slightly, surprised by my shoving, but quickly darted away from the ever approaching footsteps.
Before we could clear the trail, though, I was pushed roughly to the ground. "Sienna!" Esther stopped just long enough to be grabbed by a familiar burly man in black combat gear. He twisted her arms behind her back, causing her to yelp in pain.
"Get off of her, you thug!" I growled and strained against my much stronger captor. His only response was slapping painful metal cuffs around my wrists.
The man holding Esther picked up his radio and said," Home, this is Echo. We've got them."
"10-4, we hear you Echo. Bring them in."
"Roger that. We're on our way." He hooked the radio next to a tag that said 'JONES'.
They picked us up, throwing us over their shoulders. Esther was kicking and screaming, with all the fury she had. "LET ME GO YOU BALD HEADED JERK!!"
Officer Jones growled and put a black bag over Esther's head. He nodded to his partner, and then the same was done to me. Suddenly, my senses became sharp. I felt the change happening, and a hot wave of anger flooded my veins as I sank my newly formed claws into the man holding me.
"OW! Girl's got claws, Jones!" I was thrown to the ground, and I felt a boot pressed to my abdomen.
"Relax, Anderson. She's just one of those freaks we were briefed about. They're not even human. No reason to be gentle with 'em," Jones said.
"Right, Freaks." Anderson then drove his boot down onto my head until my ears rang, and everything went black.
