Half- Ruined (Book 2 in the Morph Trilogy)

Chapter Thirty One

Cody

I grip the side of the chair just as the scapel breaks skin.  I yell out in pain as Kelly pulls out a small grey device.  A small light flashes green.  Kelly puts it in a  liquid solution and the light dies. She then proceeds to stitch my wrist and wrap it up. 

Two guards rush into the room with worried looks on their faces.

"The hunters have not returned." One says. Kelly stops wrapping my wrist to turn and look at them.

Did everyone make to to the bunkers." 

'Yes mam."

"Get half of our guards outside."  She commands.  They nod and then she gives some sort of signal to her them and dashes out of the room. The guards take me by the arms and carry me out.

"Hey what the hell are you doing, put me down!" I yell at them. The only ignore me and keep walking.

We break into daylight and I can see we are in an open field. About a hundred guards make a circle around me and two helicoptors surrond them.

"Kelly we meet again, give us the boy and we will leave!" Someone yells over a megaphone.

"Not going to happen!" Kelly yells back. Kelly snaps her fingers and I'm sent to my knees. A blade lines up with my throat.

"What the-" A guard covers my mouth with his hand. "It's better if you don't talk."  He whispers.

"You wouldn't kill him."  Nathan says sounding sure of himself.

"Try me." Kelly yells up to them. The blade cuts into me and blood trickles down my neck. Nathan seems shocked for a moment, he really though she would give in.

"Fine have it your way." Nathan replies. He walks pulls out a walkie and yells in a command.  Bullets start to  fly and guards morph. Two bullets hit the guards holding me captive and they go down, setting me free. I stare at the men who were holding me only a second ago, and notice that the bullets seem to be not bullets at all but darts. Someone touches my shoulder and I flinch before turning around.

"You need to run."  Kelly says looking around.

"Where?"  I yell through all the comotion.

"Anywhere but here."  She yells back.  I nod, and turn around.  Bodies litter the ground, but I know they are not dead. My mother was a wild animal vet and those darts looked like trankulizer darts.  There was nowhere to run the helicopters had landed and people with camo pants and black shirts were running out to fight.

I glance backwards and see Kelly being restrained and taken away by the helicoptor people.  This time I don't hesktate I run like a wild animal.  Which I guess in a way I am.  I don't look where I'm going just run.  Which was a bad idea because I soon trip over a fallen guard. 

I'm starting to get back up when something pierces my leg, and I fall on my face.  I slowly pick myself up to find a silver tiger with it's tail pointed on me.  It's whole tail is coverd in little throwing knives, and with one flick another could be sent straight at me.  I move my arm slighly and scream out in pain as a knife slices into my wrist.  My arm collapses sending my face into the dirt again. 

I pull the knife out of my arm with my other hand and with one quick motion chuck it at the creature.  It bounces off of it not even leaving a scratch.  It's yellow eyes look into mine as as daring me to try again.  I put my hands behind me and pull myself backwards dragging my feet along the grass.  Three more knives fly through the air into my side before humans run over to me. 

One of them grabs the tiger and pulls it away while the others lift me up carefully.  I just lay back and watch as my blood taints the ground.

I end of walking into the desertated lab at 10:29 pm, with no lights to guide me.  I was starting to this place it was where I first started training.  Kaine said he had bought it to expand his old one in the future. I guess he just decided to move everyone here instead. The  lab was kinda spooky at night being it was deserted and all. I turn on my raptor vision but it's no good in the dark.

I'm walking around the lab when something runs into my back. I freak out, twist around and get in a fighting stance, only to see a dark outline of a person.The lights flicker on and I see Kiera staring back and me fists raised. Kain is  standing in the center staring at his watch. The lab is not very big with only some equipment encompassing us, along with few tables and vials of wierd liquid.

"Kaine why are we here?"  I ask getting already annoyed I wasn't asleep. Kaine whistles and a boy steps out of the shadows. A hood covers his head and he looks down. The boy raises his face up to look us in the eyes. His eyes are completely black almost like a demon. He takes the hood off his head. A full head of shinning, black hair is uncoverd. I almost choke on my spit, he's almost completely different, but somewhere in there I reconize him.

"Jax?" Kiera and I both blurt out.
