"I'm not staying here," I stated stubonrnly.
"Um...yes...yes you are," Present stated like a smart ass.
"Um....no.....no I'm not," I mocked him and pushed a wisp of my hair out of my face.
"Oh stop acting like kids," Past reprimanded. I looked up to see him in the doorway. I stuck my tongue out at him.
"I can do what I want. I never got to be a kid so now I will and-"
"RUN! RUN!" Fue screamed and I spun around to see her being chased by a wolf-like human who had giant fangs sprouting out of his gums and a thick layer of fur surrounding his body. The only thing human about the thing was that it was wearing khakis and it's face was a normal looking guy face besides the arrow sticking out of its side.
I was frozen to my spot until Present grabbed my arm and jerked me aside. "Ok, you win, you are
definitely not staying here," he said sprinting around the table and out of the doorway Past was just standing in, but was now sprinting down a hallway. I saw him disappear into a room and was jerked forward again by Present.
I glimpsed behind me and saw Fue with her hands pinned down on the ground. Her face was scratched and was bleeding onto the oriental carpet. I looked to another hallway just as Jeremy joined us. "Take her. Make sure she's safe," Present commanded and turned back toward the way we had come. Jeremy grabbed my wrist and started running toward the door. He glanced over his shoulder one more time and I slid to a stop just before the door. Jeremy's face was less than an inch away from the door. He stepped back and swung open the door.
Hundreds of the wolf-men hybrids were growling ready to attack at any moment. "Well, shit," Jeremy muttered under his breath as the hybrids parted.
"Oh, darling, don't you look stunning!" a blonde haired man said stepping forward.
