Mystic. [Old]

Chapter 19:

The lab was their target for tonight. Get at least 10 people out this time. Tiffany was already in the building as the others waited for a signal. Bang! That was their signal. She slipped past most scientists and unlocked the cell doors for the creatures. Derek came as a wolf and pounced on top of three scientists, slashing at their chests with his claws. Victoria soared as a hawk and morphed into a wolf as well, attacking trespassers. The creatures ran out of their cells as they unlocked, one by one. Jordyn made sure that they got out safely, no one getting in the way of their plans of course. The alarm blared, louder than before, and the guards showed up. This time with advanced weapons. Shit. "We gotta go!" Derek yelled and began to run, Victoria followed close behind him. Tiffany escorted the last two people with Jor and ran as well.

Out the window they jumped, more glass breaking. "WOO!" Tiffany yelled and grinned as they fell from the great height onto the ground. Tiffany and Derek got up simply, Jor and Tori were flying. "Now we gotta lay low," Derek smirked.

"Right." Tiffany realized something. "Victoria, did I ever tell you I have to do 'surgery' on you?"

"No?" She whispered, concerned.

"Shit. You have a tracker, let's move."

They all moved quickly in what seemed to be a straight line. Tiff the line leader and Victoria the caboose. "Everyone ok? From back there?" Tiffany stared back a little but kept moving. They all said, "Yep."

"Better not be lying," she made a small smile.

They all returned back to Tiffany's apartment. "Dude, you need to like get a better home, or fix this place up," Derek looked around and sat somewhere on the floor. "Well it's the place you'd least expect me right?" Tiff shrugged. Victoria formed into a cat and joined Derek on the floor, cuddling, "I'm pretty tired, how about you guys?" Jor sat down against a wall, covering a certain part of her wing.

"Yeah, that wore me out pretty good," Derek petted Tori as she purred. "No one is injured right?" Tiffany didn't answer her question. They all said yes again. She gazed at all of them, "Tori's alright, Derek you have some bruises and cuts on your arms and legs, and Jor you have cuts on your wing you are bleeding."

"Damn," Derek muttered. "I'll be fine, just gonna rest it off," he yawned and stretched himself out on the floor. Tiff averted her eyes away from him and set her direction to Jordyn. "Come on," she grabbed her arm and dragged her to the bathroom. Jor investigated the bathroom, "It looks like a horror movie woman, what the hell did you to this place?"

"Destroyed it," She grabbed a cloth and some rubbing alcohol. "Hold still, I'm gonna put cold water on it first." Jordyn took a deep breath in for some reason and shuddered as the water splashed onto her injured wings. Tiffany shut off the water, put the rubbing alcohol onto the cloth, and began to touch her wings. "O-ow."

"Sorry."

"It's fine," she bit her lip a bit. Jordyn shifted her wings a bit as Tiffany was almost done. "Hey... I'm sorry for what I said to you... Back there."

"No need to be sorry... I'm the one whose supposed to be." Tiffany cleaned most of the blood away as she finished. "Done..." She went silent for a bit. "It's just that...."

"What?"

"I have this issue...I get jealous, depressed, and emotional quickly and easily. I also laugh at random things, which usually aren't funny, but I don't know.."

"Oh. Well now I'm extra sorry," she gazed into Tiffany's blank, white eyes.

"I'm sorry too."

"You don't need to sa-"

"For not telling you the truth."
