I pace through the hallway of the ship, anger running through my veins, which I needed to get rid of or I'll lose control on my wolf and shift.
Suddenly I hear a man talk, the voice wasn't one I know.
"Vandal Savage.. is that the name you know him by ?"
I follow the voice and find a man with an evil grin on his face, his hair was grey and nose bloody. Rip and Sara were interrogating him to get some info on Savage.
"May I join this torture session ?" I ask sarcastically, Rip nods then turns back to the man.
"Yes." Rip answers.
The man turns to the Captain and and stares at him, still smiling like he had him wrapped around his finger.
"And who are you, Gareeb ?" He asks.
"Gareeb ? What is Blake talking about ?" Sara asked Rip, confusion all over her face.
I flick my claws out and stand right behind Blake.
"Only one way to find out." I said as I dig my claws in the back of his neck, deep enough to be able to dive through his memories.
I did this many times, but it still fascinates me every single time...
At first I see many scenes playing all at once and couldn't figure out what I was looking for.
Focus, Ruby. Focus.
Gareeb. Carter.
When I finally feel like I have control, I see wooden boxes on the floor, I get my hands on one of them and open it :
I see Carter's remains being dragged through a hallway.
"What are we going to do with the Vessel, master ?" Mr. Blake asked.
"We have to prepare it for the ritual. Take care of it." Savage responded.
They were referring to Carter 's body as a vessel.
A vessel for what ?
I let go of the first box and grab a second one.
I see Savage talking to the man about some enemy that tried to kill him in the past, a stranger, a Gareeb, he called him.
Rip.
Savage was talking about Rip.
I need to go back to Rip and Sara. Now.
I open my eyes and took my claws out of his neck to see Sara and Rip starring at me in shock.
"For god's sake what was that for, Jones ?" Rip yelled at me.
"Is he dead ?" the assassin asked.
"No Sara, he's still alive. I did that to look through his memories." I paused and turned my gaze to Rip "And Rip, why don't you tell us about the time you tried to kill Savage back in Egypt ?"
"So you tried to do this before ?"
"Leave it be, ladies ! We don't have much-"
"Look Rip" I interrupted "you were the one asking us to help you, so we have the right to know everything."
Rip looks at his feet, hesitating whether he should tell us or not.
"I had the chance to kill Savage once before." he finally spoke."I had him and I hesitated !"
"It's not an easy thing to do, Rip." Sara said
