Survivals Curse

Chapter Eight: Breach

The debriefing after their patrol brought up nothing abnormal, undead stalked along outside the walls, but none had traversed into the compound grounds. 'For now' Aymelek thought eyes fixated on the front, however, her primary attention was for her peripheral where she could see the twins. Cassidy's face was scrunched as if listening or thinking quite deeply, while her brother, was clearly lost in another plain.

They were all dismissed and immediately Aymelek sought them out. The small group walked silently with the rest of the members making their way to the recreation room, before finding a dimly lit corner. They sat down, all of them silent before Marcus spoke lowly.

"Let me get this straight. The Doctor is trying to change us into... werewolves to ensure our survival, but your saying that there is something worse than the human Undead out there... and you are wanting us to join your... pack. To ensure our survival." Marcus stated calmly, clearly a confused look upon his face.

"Why do you want us exactly?" Cassidy added lowly. Her brows furrowed, a clear sign of confusion.

Aymelek watched them, carefully analyzing their body language. They were uncomfortable, unsure. This wasnt normally her way of doing things, and Aymeleks fists tightened beneathe the table in her lap. Jericho would normally take care of these things back when he had been cognitive. She chewed the inside of her cheek for a long time, glancing about. Save for one or two playing pool across the room, the recreation room was primarily empty.

With a deep sigh Aymelek would shift her focus back onto the twins.

"More or less, the doctor is attempting to trick humans into changing, but its primarily not for survival. It's to use them as basically a way to seize control. Werewolves arent affected by the bite of a vdekur. And that's what he wants. An army of immune Werewolves, to take control of armies, science anything you can think of. The problem is that so far, these... Leaders arent yet aware of the Wendigos. And every human takes the change differently. If a human dies, we are looking at vdekur, easily handled, but if a changeling dies... You have a Wendigo." She explained in a low voice, glancing around hearing the two other humans in the hall laughing as they walked out of the hall, leaving the three completely alone.

"The wendigos are primarily solitary creatures, but on occasion they have been known to travel in pairs. Fighting one, is hard enough, it takes at least three to four werewolves to simply take down one. And we cant get close enough to truly do any sort of damage to them, due to the risks involved. Vdekur bite us we are ok, but the bite of a Wendigo... that's different. A scratch, a bite, even just a bit of blood or saliva getting into your body... you WILL become one of them, and that's IF they dont rip you completely apart and devour you. Wendigos attack anything and everything, including vdekur. I decided to approach the two of you because soon, my mate will be free... and once that happens, me, my pack, him, we are leaving this hell hole, seeking out new territory. This place is a target, you saw the fields around us, littered with vdekur. It's only a matter of time, before the stench of death and decay brings the Wendigos right to this doorstep... and I guarantee no one will survive when they come. Something about you has caught the attention of my wolf. She is confident the two of you will be valuable. So I decided to give you the chance. To clue you in. Plus, to be honest Cassidy, you are the first female I have seen here since my arrival a few years ago." Aymelek explained long windedly. They would sit in silence for a long while merely staring at each other, the sound of quiet gusts of breathe the only sound. The two seemed to be stuck deep in thought.

Aymelek sighed, scrubbing her face with her hand, her eyes shifting, to the floor. The hair upon the back of her neck and arms began to stand on end her wolf lifting her head internally, alert and tensed. Aymelek paused, blinking. Marcus opened his mouth to speak, but Aymelek immediately shushed him. Her eyes wide, alert. She would inhale deeply partially shifting, much to the two humans horror, but she ignored them, rising and moving to the recreation rooms barred window.
