The Lab

Chapter 4

     I sprinted forward picking my target quickly. It was weird realizing that fighting for me had suddenly just came naturally. Yes I had to teach myself along the way but most of the time it came naturally, oddly enough. Same case when it came to hunting. I felt myself completely morphed now, running on all fours at an incredible pace now. It lunged at me with the rod barely missing my face. I ducked and darted between its legs. I turned around seeing the robots back bent over, it seemed to be looking for me. I bit down on the side of its leg quickly, surprised feeling my teeth actually sink into it. Now I knew that we were inhumanly and impossibly strong for normal wolves. Yet I had no idea that we were that strong, or that the robots shell was just really fragile.

     I let go and watched sparks start to fly out from the bite marks. The robot whipped its head around and faced me. It lunged at me almost jabbing its weapon into my side. I leaped up and was instantly standing on two legs. I looked at my hand seeing it was somewhat human looking but covered with my familiar grayish blonde fur and claws. My werewolf looking form. I wonder if Hollywood would hire me to be in a werewolf movie, ha! Just kidding.

     I roared which sounded like a human voice mixed with little snarls hear in there. I grabbed its arm, the one holding the electric staff, and started to pull. I watched as wires began to show from its elbow. I pulling harder, the arm coming completely off. I toss it to the other side of the room knowing this thing is completely defenseless now. Its head look at it's arm, or at least I think it is, and takes a step back looking back up at me. I act quickly and bite down hard on its head. I yank back pulling the head right off. I watch as the it stands for a few seconds sparks flying out of it, then clattering to the ground.

     I spit out its head and take deep breathes trying to calm down. I sigh slowly morphing back to into human. I look over and spot Kitsune, gnawing on her opponent like a chew toy. I swear, sometimes she scared me. She looked up noticing me and stopped. She turned human again and I began walking over to her.

     "Excellent work you too!" a woman's voice said, suddenly echoing through the room. Thanks for the warning. "We will give you two ten minutes to rest and then will get back to work." Back to work? Back to work! Was this just some big game to them or something? What was the point of any of this? One of the silver doors slid open and two guards came rushing in after us. I felt my cuffs hum and clink together. I had a feeling these things were going to get really annoying. I noticed that the silver door was still open, now's our chance. I looked at Kitsune and we gave a small nod to each other, practically reading each others minds. We sprinted past the guards much faster then they could ever run. Both were holding massive guns but we both knew they were just tranquilizers. One aimed quickly at me, finger on the trigger. Run, run, run, run! The word pounded in my head and in my heart. Adrenaline rushed through my body and I couldn't tell if I loved it or hated it. I heard the dart whiz past me barely missing my face. I sprinted at the door seeing Kitsune right on the other side of me.

     I practically leapt through the doorway with Kitsune right in front of me. I turned around seeing it had sealed shut. Yes, we were going to make it! Then I remembered, Erin. We can't leave her behind. I turned and started sprinting down the right hall where we came from. Grab Erin and get the hell out of this place, simple. Alarms started to blare through the facility slamming into my ear drums. I heard many footsteps behind me, way to many to be just Kitsunes. I turned the corner spotting a pair of double doors on the left side of the hall. I sprinted faster which felt strange since I couldn't pump my arms while I ran. I turned and slammed into the doors almost falling over when I made it inside. I looked up and saw Erin get to her feet quickly and stare at me wide eyes. I started to head towards her cell door, so close to the button that would set her free.
