Primal Inheritance: Freedom [COMPLETED]

Chapter 33: Man's Dead Best Friend

Gabriel

When I woke up I was still on the ground. Avery was leaning on a table, drinking from a black cup, and talking to London. I guess they told the other guards to go on a lunch break, because there were only two in here besides London: the one that was bitten and one of the others I never paid attention to.

I stood to my feet and realized my arm had been healed perfectly. I flexed it, and somehow still felt phantom pains from what happened, but otherwise, I was fine.

The bitten guard was awake, and when he saw me moving my arm he got to his feet too.
"You can thank London for that. He healed you as soon you blanked out."

I eyed him curiously​. "How do you know? I thought they knocked you out."
He looked towards the door, probably wondering where there other guards were.
"It was a knockout spell, but it only paralyzed me, it didn't render me unconscious. I wish it did though. I almost had a heart attack when Avery snapped and I wasn't able to move."

He tried to laugh it off, and I gave a small chuckle too, but that was very serious.
She had reverted back into the bloodthirsty shell of a vampire that she used to be. She seemed alright now, talking to London, but I wondered if she had stopped taking the medicine that kept her normal.

It was either that or something this guard had done made her that way. And there was only one way to find out.

"Hey, I'm sorry, but I never asked you your name."

"It's Tyler, but you don't have to apologize. You healed me the first time we met, so we're even."
I smiled and shook his hand. The color of his eyes was a regular brown now, completely back to normal. I knew what Avery would say about this, but I wanted to make sure.

"I'm going to go talk to them right quick, find out what my next orders are."

"Alright, I'll wait here."

I walked over to Avery and London, who stopped talking when I came close.
"What happened?"

Avery didn't say anything, so London spoke.

"The guy that was not by the revenant snapped, and attacked Avery. His eyes were different, and he grew fangs, so he either has become a vampire or a revenant. The problem is, we don't know if being bitten by a revenant can turn you into one, so we're going to send him to the lab."

I looked at Tyler, who was standing silently, kind of like they all did when they were hiding from me. "For how long?"
Avery spoke this time.

"Indefinitely. This could be a huge discovery, and since someone pissed off every revenant in our entire territory..." She glared at London, who ignored it and kept his eyes trained on me.
"We'll need all the samples we can get."

"Should we contain him now, Avery?" asked London.

"Go ahead." She replied.
He whistled and the other guards emerged from the walls. What were they hiding for?
Two of them grabbed Tyler's shoulders and the others stood behind him.

"Whoa, whoa, wait, what are you doing?"

"We're taking you to the containment room, to make sure you're okay."

"I'm fine, I know I am-"

"Do not resist. Move forward."
He struggled with the other guards, all of them unwilling to let go. He broke free and stuck one of them right in the jaw.
The guard stumbled from the shock, and then got back to his feet. He rubbed his mouth then spat blood onto the office floor.
He was breathing hard, moving towards Tyler.
