Chapter 9 - My Friends

A/N: EEEE THANKS FOR OVER 100 READS!!!!! Sorrry for not updating :( bUT HERE IT IS!!!

I land gracefully onto the floor, and hear Thom and Alice come down after me. Troy glares at us through his bonds, but I'm starting to feel like that's his only setting.

"Mmmph mmphm phmmm!" Troy tries to say, but everything is muffled through a gag. I remove that first. "Get me out of these."

"Could you say a pretty please?" I ask, though quickly start to unbound him once his glare intensifies. Thom helps me, while Alice peeks through the window in the door.

"The hall is clear." She reports, though Troy snorts as he stands up and flexes his limbs.

"Not for long, there's security cameras everywhere. No blind spots." Sure enough, they could hear faint shouts and footsteps in the distance that are quickly coming closer. Alice backed away from the door.

"We've got to get out of here!" Thom shouts, and starts to climb up through the vent again, when Troy lets out a deep sigh.

"No, that's basically a death trap now. Just, just stand back." He says, and we back up as Troy takes in a few deep breaths before he keels over. A half-strangled scream escapes from his clenched teeth as thick white fur grows down his neck and down his arms, his hands turning into large canine paws. His body seems to change too, as he started to stand on his toes with his legs bent and with his back bent over like he was about to pounce. Troy stopped screaming and let out an angry growl, and I noticed his now sharp fangs.

"Elle, you never told us your friend was a werewolf," Alice said, and I turned to see her and Thom backed up against the wall. I was frozen in place, too mesmerized to move.

"I didn't know, he didn't tell me," I shoot an accusatory glare at Troy, who ignores me. He instead stands in front of the door with his new claws out, the florescent lights casting a harsh shine on them. The footsteps get louder, until I could see the black helmets and guns of the security guards through the window. Troy crouches so that only his hair could be seen from the other side, and the door is opened by a guard and Troy pounces, blood flying through the air as all of the security guards are taken down almost immediately. Troy, his paws covered with blood, motioned for us to follow him and took off down the hall. I shoot a look at Alice, who is being helped by Thom, and we start to run after him.

"We still need to find Miranda!" Thom shouts from behind me. I spare him a glance.

"Don't worry, we will!" I reply as we round the corner. I catch up to Troy, who raises a claw to his lips. I motion to Thom and Alice, who are surprisngly quickly catching up. We slowly walk down the hall, and me and Thom start to look through the windows of various rooms to see if we could find Miranda. No one that we recognize is in there, though there were prisoners in varying degrees of sanity. We got down to the end of this hall, and Troy pressed his back to the wall, his mouth slightly hanging open, from what I assume to be because of his now enlarged teeth. We stop behind him, and sure enough we could hear more footsteps coming towards this hall. Just when the first guard appeared around the corner Troy claws him in the neck and spun around to face the other guards. He was finished soon enough, and we started to run around the corner when we heard more footsteps coming from every hall.

"C'mon!" Troy shouted, and I run with him, Thom and Alice on our tails. Then I hear gunshots, and I turn to look behind me just in time to see Thom and ALice slump to the ground.

"THOM! ALICE!" I scream, but Troy only grabs onto my wrist and starts to drag me away. "No! We have to help them!"

"They're lost causes!" Troy replied, and my legs betrayed me and continued to run until we pushed open a set of heavy doors into the too-bright sunlight. We still continued to run, though, even if my heart felt like it was going to explode and I couldn't see through my tears. It was a good thing that Troy was holding on to my wrist, even if his claws were digging into my skin and bringing up blood.
