Laughter… all Jason could remember was his psychotic laughter. As if Aaron’s torture was for his own amusment. Flashes of the battle angered him. He could still remember dragging himself to his room. As he layed in his bed Jason looks at his stomach watching as the once pot of steaming spaghetti becomes a flesh wound. He came to the realization that if he didn’t have accelerated healing he would have died in the training room. “Makes one glad to be a monster,” he mumbles as he gently touches the  newly formed scar where his wound was. The more he thought of the wound, the more anger boiled inside. Suddenly a girl barged into the room as if she was being chased. “Why are you in my room?,  Mia,” Jason asked the girl as he sat up in his bed. Mia was shorter than Jason and had brown caramel skin with black short hair. Her eyes were hazel and filled with tension.Although she’s a vampire like Jada, but to Jason she was more like a little sister.
“Sorry, just had to hide from the guards… and Arthur…. Most definitely Arthur,” Mia   explained while jumping onto the bed as Jason got off.  “ I heard you have a roommate,” Mia says while swinging her legs back and forth as they dangled off the bed. “Had a roommate, And I need you to set up a meeting with Arthur,” Jason corrected as he put on a shirt that was folded on his bed. Arthur was a Kanima in simpler terms a lizard man lone shark that got his reputation from being able to get anything from the outside world. “And what did you ask him for this time,” Jason asked her before walking over to his sink. “I asked him to get me an mp3 player,” Mia admits before getting off the bed. “That’s why I need you to talk to him, see if he can get me off his radar,” Mia asks while tossing Jason a towel to wipe his face.”Of course I’m going to help you, Arthur doesn’t like his payment late and if it does come late …. he kills,” Jason states before turning towards the door. “Thanks Jason, I knew you would help me,” Mia says in a cheerful tone before following him. “Also, why did you want to see Jason, you know making a deal with him is like making a deal with the devil,” Mia states as they walk down the hallway leading to the training room.
Jason noticed other subjects in the hallway watching as they passed, whispering to each other as if they were trading secrets. “You knew this and still made a deal with him,” Jason points out as he ignores the subject's watchful eyes. “Besides, Arthur is the only one that knows the layout of Purgatory,” Jason explains before turning down a hallway. “Is this about yesterday when you got your ass beat by a flesh blood.,” Mia asked before bursting with laughter. “How did you know about that?,” Jason questioned, wondering how she found out when the only other people who were there were the Doctor and the Hunters. “This is Purgatory, remember, when something happens everyone finds out,” Mia states before reaching the cafeteria. “So what is this I hear about you almost getting killed by Aaron,” Jada mentions as she jogs up to the two. “He’s not like us, He’s different…. More dangerous,” Jason began to say before a tail wraps around Mia’s neck, yanking her towards the cafeteria. “Mia!,” Jason and Jada yell in unison before dashing after her before being stopped by two extremely large werewolves. “ Well isn’t this nice,” Arthur says as he lifts Mia up with his tail. 
Arthur had scaly light green skin with blonde slick back hair, his eyes were dark yellow and were more reptellian than human.. When Jason first met Arthur he looked more like a twig in the wind than a muscular loan shark. “I’ll give you money I owe …. Please … I can’t breathe ,” Mia struggles to say as she gasps for air, pulling Arthurs tail from around her neck. “That seems to be the point, little vampire,” Arthur states before punching Mia in the gut causing her to cough blood. “Arthur ...Stop,” Jason demands as he slowly walks towards them, his eyes turning cold blue making the other werewolves hesitant to stop. “Then came The Big Bad Wolf, well not anymore I’m hearing,” Arthur states before a third werewolf appeared, blocking Jason from approaching further. “You don’t want to do this,” Jason warns before his right hand turns into a set of claws. General Blitz had Hunters patrolling Purgatory, but it seems Arthur had influenced them to turn a blind eye and leave the cafeteria for the day. “Hope you didn’t think that the Hunters would be of any help,” Arthur says as the first werewolf strikes Jason across the face. Suddenly, Aaron’s laughter began to pierce his mind, enraging him, allowing his anger to fill his rage.
“That’s all you got,” Jason mokes as his claw marks across his face began to disappear from his accelerated healing. The werewolf roars at Jason before instantly having his bottom jaw ripped out. “Sorry, were you saying something,” Jason says before spartan kicking the beast into a table. He felt as bones from the beast ribs broke from the force of his kick, killing it instantly. “More,” Jason could hear in his head as he roared in rage, the other two werewolves submissively backed away as Jason’s roar began to push the tables around him. “Who's next,”  Jason asked as the werewolves looked at each other in shock before stiffening and collapsing as Arthur stood behind them , his claws soaked in the wolves blood. “If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself,” he states before scratching Mia on the neck paralyzing her. “You just sit tight my little vamp, After I handle your friend we can discuss other ways you can repay me,” Arthur flirts while laying Mia on the table behind him. “Being able to paralyze people is so useful,” Arthur stated before turning towards Jason as scales began to cover more of his face. Enraged, Jason charged towards Arthur but was easily avoided as Arthur flips over Jason, stabbing him in the neck with his claws. Jason felt his body going numb as he crashed into a table next to Mia. “ What’s wrong, Big Bad Wolf can’t move,” Arthur began to mock as his tail dragged across the ground. Jason tried to move but his legs were dead weight, he roared in anger slamming his fist into the ground before his entire body went numb. “It’s no use, my venom has paralyzed your entire body,” Arthur says while grabbing Jason by the hair, lifting his head so Jason could see his face. “Any last words before I kill you,” Arthur asked in a snake like tone revealing his tongue and the number thirteen stitched onto it. 
Suddenly a hand appeared around Arthur's neck, ripping his jugular completely out. “ How about die,” Jada says before kicking Arthur into a wall, breaking his spine. “It seems you can’t do anything without me, except get yourself killed,” Jada jokes while sitting Jason up against the table. Suddenly before they could rest three Hunters appeared behind Jada. “Subjects 30, 34,and 32, confirmed,” Hunter One says in a communication device connected to his wrist before the other two put shackles on the three. “Shit,’ Jason mumbled before being dragged towards a hallway. “I didn’t do anything,” Mai pleads as the hunters push them into a service elevator, where another subject was shackled in the corner. The boy was 5’6 in height and his skin was light brown. His hair was curly brown and his eyes were hazel. “Mhm.... Mhmm,” The boy tries to say but guards put duct tape on his mouth so he couldn’t speak. “What is Nick doing here,” Mia whispers to Jason as the guard presses about leading to the lower levels of Purgatory. Nick was a siren, a creature that uses the soundwaves in they’re voice to manipulate others, which would be the reason for the duct tape covering his mouth. “Mhm...Mhmmm…..Mhmm?,’  Nick tried to speak again, but the words were smothered by the tape. But everyone knew exactly what he was trying to say as the elevators doors closed. Where were they going?
