The Alpha Omega.

Chaplain's.

"RIVER??!!!!!!!"
I hear Haley's scream in my head, as I come back for a moment.

"Huh?"
I say back and look around, I'm surrounded by white and my face hurts.

"You're alive!!"
She says with a breath of relief.

"She's awake!!"
I hear a woman yell, then watch as two women and two men walk in.

"Hello, Dr. Sanders is it?"
An elderly man asks.

"Yes... That's me."
I say and look back at her.

"Good, because now we can execute you."
He says smiling as he looks at me.

"Woah! Why?"
I ask and look at him confused.

"What do you mean why?!!
You stole our people."
He yells at me.

"Shit."
I say and look around for a blade, before seeing a scalpel lying on a table.
I reach over and grab it, before flipping it in my hand.

"HEY!!!!"
The man yells and jumps back, then his security jumps in front and guns are pointed.

I look up to three .45 Glocks in my face.
"Calm down, I'm not the doctor and I'm trying to show you."
I say with a slight smile.

"Show me or you're gonna be hung."
He says and steps forward.

"Damn, alright."
I say and take the scalpel, then slice down my jeans.

"What's that?"
The man asks and steps forward, before inspecting the brand.

"I'll show you."
I say and look at them.
"You might not wanna watch this, and can I get a rag."
I ask and look at him.

"Of course, please give her a rag."
He turns to the nurse, then she retreats from the room.
"So, what is this brand?
What does it do?"
He asks and looks at it closely.

"You'll see."
I say and put my palm face up.
"Watch."
I say and focus, then watch as nothing happens.

"What? You did nothing."
He says laughing slightly.
"You're a wannabe Alpha."
He says smiling and looks at his SD (security detail), then back to me.

"I warned you not to watch this.
I say and smile as I accept the rag she hands to me, then I bundle it up and bite down on it.

"What are you doing?"
He asks confused and backs up.

"Sorry about the sheets."
I say and start cutting the brand off.
"AGHHHHHGGGGHHHH!!!!"
I roar into the rag, as I start skinning my thigh.

"WHAT THE HELL, STOP HER!"
The man yells and backs up, then his SD goes to move forward.

I raise the blade as the approach, before spitting out the rag.
"Fucking don't."
I say snarling and watch as they back up.
My hand goes back to cutting off the brand, then I watch as it slips off my leg and smacks into the floor.

"Oh my god."
The man says in a scared voice.

I look down and realize I missed a piece, then place the blade under it and slice.
The Pure Void resuming flooding my veins, feels soooo good.
I missed the burning to kill most of all though, I don't feel complete without it.
I watch my leg heal completely, then my face restores.

"Oh shit, you are an Alpha."
The man says astonished.

"Also, I'm not a woman."
I say and stand up, before focusing and changing back into my body.
"Thank god, that was annoying."
I say smiling and look down at my body.

"Dear god."
The man says and steps forward.

"Hey, my name's River and where's the friend I came in here with?"
I ask and look at the group, before sticking my hand out to shake the leader's hand.
