isn’t much, I splattered all over the dirt. “Well,” I say, “I told you so.”

Everyone laughs nervously, “Why don’t we get 23 some help over here, men!” two guys walk up to me, and grab my arms.

I yank free, “I can walk myself, idiots!”

The two men take me back, another group stands next to them, “We’ll take her form here. Mr. Harvey wants to see her.”

“That’s okay, we’ve got it. Raven told us she had a very special treatment ready for her,” they nod, knowing that they don’t want that special treatment.

“Just kill me please,” I tell them as we walk out, “I don’t deserve to live. I kill everyone, I’m a murderer. My father’s a nut job! Just kill me!” I plea.

“Oh shut up, Brim! You’ve always been way too dramatic for my taste,” says one of the men.

I gasp, “Dev? Cal? Is that you guys?”
“No, it’s the pizza men,” Cal mutters.

My sad tears turn into happy tears, “Oh thank God, you’re going to get me out of here! You’re going to….”

“Halt!” a woman screams behind us.

The three of us turn around, and Raven is standing there will a gun in her perfectly manicured hands. “Didn’t you want to stay for the after party, dear?” her voice is sharp.

Raven yells at her three men to arrest us, “Follow me,” she growls. “I can get the information out of them quicker than you can cry ‘Mommy’.

The men hold us back, Cal and Dev try to fight, but it results in tasers to their sides. “Hook her up! Hands and feet,” Raven instructs them.

I strapped up, hanging from the wall. “What do you want from us?!” I shout.

“Strap them,” Cal and Dev, “to the chairs over there. We’ll see how long this takes,” both boys hands are shaking, Cal’s eyes snap yellow, but he screams aloud instead.

She points at a long stick, “Give!” Raven shouts to the men. Once Raven has her hand around the fire poker, she does exactly what we know she’s going to do; she dips it in the fire.

“Okay,” she lifts my shirt up my back and ties it off. “First one to squeal wins!”

I breathe quickly, my breaths are shallow. “Please don’t do this!” I beg.

“Ah, ah, ah! Only your boyfriends can talk!” she snaps. The fire poker connects with my skin, and I hold back a scream.

But I do bit into my lip, drawing blood. “Anyone? Anyone want to give up any information?” I shake my head no to them.

Dev looks at his lap, ignoring the situation all together, he’s silently rocking back, and forth.

Cal, on the other hand, is staring directly into my eyes; he waiting to see how long I can go; he trying to come up with a plan.

“No?” Raven says. “Okay!” The fire poker is laid upon my back again, and I can’t help it this time, I scream.

But something odd, I scream, “Pamela!” I scream for the baby sister I killed. I killed! And I decide I deserve the pain. I deserve ever scar that will be left.

“Going one, going twice, gone!” Raven teases. She takes the poker, drawing a large ‘R’ into the skin of my back. “Woo hoo!” she shouts.

Cal speaks up, “Stop!”

“What? You have something to say?” tears roll down my cheeks.

I try to stop Cal, “Cal, please, don’t tell her. Please!” I cry out to him. “You don’t want to save someone like me,” my voice softens. “I’m not what or who you think I am. I’m a monster, Cal. It’s true,” I smile sweetly through the pain, “no one really ever wanted me.”

“Brim, listen to me. You’ll be fine. We’ll all be fine,” he tells me. Cal turns to Raven, “If I tell you the information you want, what happens to us?”

Raven whistles, “Good question, Sir! I would say, she,” Raven points at me, “goes back to Daddy. We’ll kill you, and 5 we’ll teach a lesson to.”

“So we all go straight back to where we came from, except for me,” he whispers. “Why can’t we have a better deal?”

“Because you broke the rules. Therefore, only good little boys and girls get good deals!” she says perkily.

I see Cal’s hand twitch, the rope is loose. Don’t do it Cal! I plead in my head. But he does.

Cal whips around and knocks the two staff out. He undoes the rope on Dev’s hands. “You should have brought more back up, Raven,” Cal informs her.

She snarls, “You don’t really want to mess with me, do you?” Dev and Cal step back into stances.

Raven smirks, her eyes instantly turn a deep red. “She’s changing!” I shout at them.

Dev rolls his eyes, “Thank you, Captain Obvious,” he mutters.

Raven, for the first time I’ve seen, changes. Her smaller frame grows larger and larger until she’s exactly what she said she was, Mama Bear.

Her eyes are red, and she roars loudly. Cal changes into a wolf, whereas Dev rushes over to me. “Hey, beautiful,” he jokes.

“Dev, shut up! Get me down from here,” I urge him to hurry. When I drop to the floor and my T-shirt falls over my back, I wince.

“Ouch!” I scream as Dev jumps into his jaguar form. Dev and Cal circle Raven.

I stay in my human form; I might be more help this way. I join the boys, and help circle Raven.

Raven lifts her massive body onto her back legs, she roars so loud I’m afraid the whole complex will come rushing to her rescue, but they don’t.

Dev and Cal jump on top of her, she rakes her claws down their backs, I wince. I run over to the fire, and lying next to it, is the fire poker.

Speedily, I heat it till it glows in the fire, and I pull it out burning hotter than ever before.

Dev latches onto her back thigh, and Cal snaps at her muzzle. I take my clear shot. Running as fast as I can, I stab the fire poker into Raven’s left side.

I feel my arms push the poker all the way through her, the handle sticks out the back where I shoved it in at. Raven collapses forward.

The bear she is roars, but it falls down face first, and she changed back. “Is she dead?” I say even though I know neither of them can answer.

Cal starts trotting towards the door, we need to leave. So I change, the burns on my back bleed, but I run after Dev and Cal.

We run and run. Dev leads us around The Center to the loading department. The garage is opening slowly to release one of the many cargo trucks. This is our chance.

We all glance at each other, and take the run full speed; out the door and into the approaching night.

Shots are fired, but we just keep running.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter Seven

What state are we in? How’d they find me? Where are we headed? I finally get to ask these questions when we find a woman throwing out a bag of old clothes.

I change first into the best thing she had; kaki shorts, a Tinker Bell T-shirt (whoever that is), and a pair of too big black flip flops.

After the boys change into something nearly awful, I start asking questions, “How’d you find me?!”

Cal answers, “Samantha. Remember when she told us she hacked into The Lab’s network; she wasn’t lying. She found where they are located and everything. We also had her rush our order on documents. Mrs. Lambert wasn’t very happy that we made her stay up all night.”

“How long was I gone?”
Dev answers this, “Roughly three days, why?”

“Because it was all a blur, the things, the hallucinations,” my voice is soft, but I’m terrified. “What state are we in?”

“We’re in South Carolina. We need to get to Florida, that’s where my family is going to be,” Cal tells us.

I sigh, “We need to get rides,” I say simply.

“That’s exactly what I was thinking,” Cal says, “there is a Harley Davison dealership up there. We can take a few, we’ll pay them back later,” I stop Cal.

“How about we take the two that are right there?” I point to two bikes parked across the street. Both men are standing a few feet away with cigarettes hanging out of their mouths.

Dev frowns, “They’re right there! We can’t just walk up, and offer them nothing for their bikes.”

“I’ll do it, just meet me a couple miles down,” I start to walk away, but Cal grabs my wrist.

“I don’t think you should go over there, Brim. It’s too dangerous,” his eyes are worried.

“I’ll be just fine, Cal.” I say. I start to walk away, but turn around. I kiss Dev on the cheek and then Cal. “Thank you so much.”

The two motorcycle men, are laughing now. I start swinging my hips a little more. It’s just acting, I tell myself, “Hey boys!” I wave at them and smile. “Do either of you want to give a pretty lady a ride one of these manly bikes?” I twirl my hair and sit on one of the bikes trying to be sexy.

I’m not so sure it’s working, I feel stupid doing it, until they both smile, “Sure, anything for you darling.” The man whose bike I’m riding is the bigger man.

“Yea!” I clap my hands and put my arms around his waist. Ick!

He revs the engine, and him and his buddy both pull out onto the road.

I put my hands in there air making them believe every little piece of my lie. When we get to a field a couple miles down I ask him to pull over, “Hey, Sir, could you pull over here. I’ve got to show you something!”

He smiles, his first four teeth missing. He signals to his friend that he’s pulling over. In the field I see two wolves running towards us.

“Thanks!” I walk up to the bigger guys and stand on my tippy toes. When he’s close enough I head butt him so hard I see stars.

“Ouch!” he wails. He tries to grab my arms, but I dodge him, and slide up underneath his jaw, probably causing him to bite his tongue.

The other man walks up to me, “Do you honestly think that you’re going to be us up, girlie?” he laughs heartily and I roundhouse kick him in the nose, followed by a punch to the groin.

I know my boys are behind me if I need any help, but they can’t really come out in their wolf forms. I hit them both in the groins again, and they fall over.

Quickly, I kick them both in the temple causing them each to go unconscious. “Yea, I thought I was going to be the crap out of you!” I shout at their limp bodies.

Once I drag them in the field, I wait by the bikes. Cal and Dev steal the bikers’ shirts and jeans along with their boots.

I see they also decided to keep the leather jackets. “Nice leather jackets,” I mutter to Cal.

“That was A+ butt kicking, Brim!” Dev hollers.

Cal gets on his bike, and I slide on behind him, not worrying so much about the two inches anymore.

Brim? Is that really my name? Penelope? Penny? 23? Once the adrenalin rush is gone from beating the two bikers up, my back starts to throb, “Cal?” I wait to see if he hears me.

“Uh huh?”

I sigh, “Never mind.” I lay my cheek against his back. He smells like cigarette smoke, but I really don’t care because it’s a lot better than the smell of burning flesh, blood, or the pink hallucination gas.

I must’ve fallen asleep because the bike’s are off, and I being carried. “What’s going on!” I shout, and jump down to my own feet.

“You fell asleep,” Cal grabs my hand.

I stare at our hands uncomfortably, what happened while I was asleep?

“We’re staying at a Motel 8 for a few hours until we can get back on the road, is that fine?” I shrug.

He really looks at me, “What you said at The Lab, Brim, isn’t true. You are
