Forgotten Eons (Book 2)

Break for freedom

        As Elane lays unconscious a throb in her stomach forces her awake. She looks around to find that everything she had gathered in the arena was gone. As she looked around the room she noticed a small flicker of light in the corner of her room, her clothes were all there... but if her clothes were over there then what was she... she looked down to find herself mostly naked despite her never undressing herself. her heart skipped a beat. it scared her to think about what they might have done to her while she was under. she walked to her clothes and redressed herself. as she put her pants on them she cut her finger on somehting, the blade she hidden from the arena was still in her pants, that gave her hope. she might be able to leave but it would be risky.

        As her blood trickled down her hand it facinated her about how far man kind had actualy come in the few short years of their existance on earth, from cave men to civilized scocioty. Despite that however her mind once again jumped to the task at hand, her escape. She gripped the knife in her right hand and stood to the opposite side of the door, she desperatly hoped it would work. She took in the deepest breath her lungs would allow her to and then screamed as loud as she could. Soon after the door swung open and a single guard walked into the room with a rifle of some kind up agenst his shoulder scanning the room like you would see in a military movie. Once he found her he shouldered the weapon and aimed down the sights at her and in a sharp voice he said; "DON'T MOVE" he started taking a couple mor steps twards her and as he did he stepped on a brittle bone snapping his attention to under his boot. THERE! Elane though as she dove forward scilently drilling the blade into the man's eye and into his brain his blood spraying all over the floor wall and her.

        As he started falling he let out a cry of terror but was soon muffled by her breaking his neck. She looked at him and the blood dripping from his body, she was awefully hungry and that blood didnt smell like the others, a bit less wild she guessed. she bent down and bit into his neck gripping him by the leg and forced the rest of the man's blood to her. She felt alive, verry alive and as she stroked her hands down her body her hands stopped on her stomach where she felt another presence other then her own. She quickly jumped forward into a roll gripping the gun from the guard and let out a series of two quick shots nailing the second guard who was trying to sneak up on her in both ends of his mouth, he soon fell to the ground dead as well unable to scream from the pain.

        Well shit, that was louder then i hoped it would be. Elane found herself thinking to herself and almost speaking to her two victims. As she would watch her mind would slowly fade and the same wolfish face mocked her from when she was in the ground. "Get out of my head!" She would demand swiping at the immage of the man's face infront of her and double over onto her knees weeping from the unknown haunting her. "Well Well Well.... i told you escape was futile" Elane would snap her eyes wide and look to where the voice came from seeing Van standing at the door way.

        "Your quite something else Elane, two of my top guards deminished to corpses before i could even get here. You should be proud of this but thats as far as your going to get, you damaged one of my rescources and now its my turn to collect from you." Hed drop his cane and his hands seemed to shine a bit and then form into unmistakeable bear claws. She looked at him in awe, he wasnt a lycan like she had thought. As he rushed at her she crouched down and as she did she instinctivly and unconsiously erupted a mound of black ooze from the entierty of her body. his claws met their mark but isntead of impaling her they deminished into a gas disolving on his hands, hed let out a snarl and shake around like a rabbid animal.

        What was that?, i could have sworn that was going to be the end..... She was completely dumb founded. she had no explimation for what happened, even more she seemed to have the advantage over Van in just a single feeding. Smiling at the fact she grabbed her blade and rushed at him the ooze form her arm coating the blade as well but oddly enough the blade didn't diminish. As she closed the distance Van dropped face first onto the ground and in his place stood a large lycan with a white coat that gleamed like moonlight.

        this...is....fu*ked....up As she got her last thought clear the lycan vanished into a mirrage. Van lay unconsious and the path to her freedom lay before her in a straight shot between her and six more guards for the front door. "Im not going to stay here any longer" she lended down and scooped Van up in her arms pulling his arm over her shoulder and dragging him out with her using his as a sheild from the guards. Seeing their commander beatten they dropped their weapons and let them both pass. For the first time in what seemed like five months of fighting she was able to see the night sky again. As a single rain drop fell to her face it washed away the black ooze that remained on her away giving her a much needed shower as she dragged Van off into the darkness.
