Ebony Scales

Segment Six; 'Teeth & Talons'

'Sable's Pov'

Her claws touched the floor of her cage which was solid concrete, she had settled down after her anger as she stood up onto her strong hind legs. Her deadly sickle claws tapped the floor in a steady rhythm. Sable watched the man, as he continued to walk away. His voice and presence made her entire body shake, for she wanted to kill him.

Nothing would please her more than the taste of that mans blood upon her claws. Sable watched him carefully, like the predator that she was, for she needed to know where he was going in order to kill him.

Her mind went off quickly in her thoughts, for she was planning to escape again. This plan of hers was to kill the man who she desperately wanted to kill, more than anything else. That man was always tormenting her, and laughed at her. All of this was a sign of challenge, for he thought he was better than her. He was about to discover the true power that she had, and her intelligence was about to blow him away.

A wicked smirk slowly made itself known onto Sable's maw, for she knew exactly what she was going to do. She got out a few times before, and she was going to do it again. Nothing else was going to get in her way, and if it does she knows who to go after. She looked at the other humans who were walking around, and one in particular caught her eye immediately. The man who had the key to her cage, she eyed him like a prize. If she were to get that key, she could get out again.

She knew how the key worked, for she watched them use it on her cage as well as the other cages in the area. Sable watched him closely, before looking in the direction where her intended target went to.

She then eased herself down onto all fours, as a huffing sound came out of her mouth. She then circled her cage as she focused on her plan, she was definitely thinking and planning about her escape. These humans were not going to stop her this time, it was all or nothing.

'Dr. Wu's Pov'

The feeling in his chest still was painful, but he would live. Lenore was a life saver, and he was glad that she helped him out. Still his mind was on the war path about what had happened earlier. His creation had escaped way to many times already, and that scared him beyond belief. She was far to intelligent than them, and she knew it. Which is why if she saw an opening, she was going to go for it without any thought.

She was very observant as well which didn't help either. The scientist who had gave life to extinct animals was now learning about how deadly they could be, and another hybrid creature was by far the most dangerous animal imaginable. He knew this now, since he had narrowly escaped death from his creation.

Dr.Wu had talked to Lenore earlier when he was there in her room, their discussion still fresh in his memory.

"Lenore I need your help.", spoke Dr.Wu as he looked at her.

"What is it? Does your sides still hurt?", she asked as she turned to look at him.

"N-No, it is about something else? You see I cannot allow Mr.Hagan to sell my creation off. He doesn't know what she is capable of doing!", replied the scientist who was clearly worked up. "I need to contact the military and I need your help!"

Lenore looked at him in disbelief, but she could tell that he was very serious about it. She looked at her desk silently before looking at him firmly. "This creation of yours, what is she?"

Dr.Wu sighed as he replied honestly, "A very dangerous creature, capable of killing. She is a new creature whose code is far different from the first Indoraptor."

Lenore stared at him, she looked down as she crossed her arms. "I have heard bits and pieces about you but I didn't expect them to be real?"

Dr.Wu looked at her silently before saying, "This has been my life's work. I needed money so I stepped over that line, and I fear that I may of made something that is far worse than the last hybrid I have ever made. She is aware of what she can do, and she lives for killing like that of a serial killer."
