🐺BITTEN🐺

~*7*~

Klayton and Sully both walked in the back door, and told me, Rachel and Sandy, that the fancy science lab was a dead end...but Sully snickered at me a little bit, and said not quite a dead end...then he showed me that he swiped an encrypted disc that said Secret Experiment on them...then handed it to me...and said take it away little hacker...and reveal to us what we wanted to know...Klayton looked at Sully and asked him how in the hell did he manage to steal those...but he gave him a sort of Criss smile, and said Criss taught him a few bad habits...plus he was keeping the scientists busy by arguing and telling them off...than none of them were paying him no mind at all.

I took the disc out of the container, and placed them into the computer and began typing away...trying to find the right codes to open the files on the disc...after 30 minutes, I successfully made it past the encryption, and I opened it...and we all sat around the computer and watched the video it had to show us. It was the full procedure of creating the genetically enhanced wolf...then day by day they watched as the wolf physically changed and grew larger...after the week was over, the wolf became actually intelligent enough to read, and understand what the words meant...that's how it escaped...but before he got loose...he bit two of the scientists...and out of the two...one of the scientists died from the mutation side effects...the other one...turned into a huge human-like wolf/werewolf type creature...and they currently had it contained in a highly secured facility with a false habitat...making if feel secure and in its own territory...and they feed it a whole cow twice a day...to keep it sustained due to its high metabolism.

It was both human-like and wolf-like...sometimes it was on all fours...and other times it was walking on its hind legs...but other than that...none of the scientists had any other information on the disc...but it was enough to know that the creature was really Criss...and we needed to find him, before anyone else did. After we found out about the eating habits...we decided to check out all the local meat lockers around...after we checked it out, and it was a zero. We also thought about its sleeping habits and thought of all the places where Criss might be hiding out sleeping for the day...or until he got hungry again. We checked all the subways...and underpasses...anywhere that looked like a den or a cave...but after going all thru town, and finding nothing...Klayton looked at me and asked what about the Secret Gardens of Siegfried & Roy's...that the lion and tiger pens had caves and dens.

We all looked at my brother and said that actually made perfect sense...and we all jumped in the Hummer and drove off to their animal sanctuary...as soon as we all got out, we headed straight for the feline pens...to check them out...as soon as Klayton made it to the cage and noticed how the animals were reacting...and being leery about going anywhere near their own sleeping den...he looked at me and said Criss was in there...then added with mild humor...which one of us was going to go into the frying pan with the felines...then into the den with Criss...where the fire was.

Beens he was my love...I told him I would be the only one that should even try going in...but my brother said absolutely not...because he didn't feel like watching some mutated wolfman pick his teeth with my bones...I spun around to him and asked him if he had any better ideas...that somehow someone had to try to reach inside his metamorphosis and bring our Criss back out...and I wasn't going to give up on him...for I knew my Criss was somewhere underneath that wolf suit. Sully walked up behind me and asked me if I was sure about going in there...just as I was about to say yes...a huge 4X4 truck with a group of guys loaded with alcohol...and carrying heavy artillery asking if we heard of a monster lurking around...for it attacked the meat locker of the restaurant and emptied out all the meat...then killed a few guys along the way...just sliced them to ribbons.

Klayton came up and put me behind him, and told them that we hadn't seen anything strange here...then he grabbed me and told me to walk away with him...for drunkards and weapons don't mix...and he had a bad feeling about them...Sully, Sandy, and Rachel followed right behind us...but the truck pulled up in front of us and two of the guys jumped out and asked Klayton and Sully to grab a gun and go on the hunt with them...for they were a couple guys shy...and safety of the creature was in numbers...Klayton looked at the guy and said the only thing he was going to do, was take me home where it was safe...Sully had Sandy and Rachel both, tucked under each arm...and said he was doing the same thing...and followed right behind us...the guys being drunk...and irritated decided to cause trouble...so they all surrounded us one more time...and this time they were in the mood to attack us...for not doing things their way.

They surrounded us in a tight circle...and began cocking their guns and saying if we weren't with them in finding and killing the creature, then we were against them...and was their enemy...and needed to be shown a lesson...Sully and Klayton fought them off but there was way too many of them...and they were overrun...when two of them grabbed me, I screamed as one of them ripped my shirt...then when I wouldn't submit to their will...they backhanded me to the ground and pulled what was left of my shirt off...Rachel and Sandy tried to get them off of me by jumping on their backs...but they tossed them off and continued to harrass me...but by my third scream...Criss woke up and emerged out of the den...and when he looked and saw them...he jumped the fence, and snuck up behind them...and he was pissed.
