Echoes of the past, variations of sounds, smells, and taste all collide, begging for attention. Kelly took the wheel, leaving the chaos and gore behind her, continuing in the direction she’d decided on back in the forest. The sign “Thompson Street” appeared up ahead, indicating what road she was currently travelling on, but real question was, [i]where[/i] they hell was she? It seemed like the stretch of road went on forever, allowing her mind and body to settle, as though she were slowing coming down from a high. Music, the volume turned down rather low, could be heard through the speakers, something likened to a classic rock song, but slower, taking her mind back suddenly to the hospital.

An overwhelming series of emotions and thoughts soon flooded her mind..

[i]The security guard near the fence beyond the courtyard, his throat ripped out, and bloodied body lying still on the wet grass. Another soon followed, same as the first, as the blood covered her body, and the taste on her tongue was pure bliss. She fled, the adrenaline carrying her more than any fear of man, as she bolted through the dark forest. But what slowed her down? Ah yes, the tranquilizers she’d been hit by numerous times before exiting the perimeter of the hospital. The wolf pushed hard and fast, as quickly as it’s strength could carry her, whipping past all forms of forest creatures, thick branches, and across small streams of water, before finally slowing and collapsing. 

Flash forward to daylight in the forest. The two boys, the creature within could have easily torn them apart, never wincing once or hesitating at the thought, but Kelly had partial control at that moment. Enough to warn the older kid, and spare his life. But no...it was the hunger that took over shortly following, a hunger that had her on four legs, running barefoot and naked through the cool forest, until she caught her prey. The flesh and blood once again on her lips, running warm and free down her chin and onto her bare chest. She was covered. The wolf had to run again, and this time…[b]oh god, this time![/b]...an innocent man and his canine companion. Torn to pieces in the blink of an eye, with no regard for either life….[/i]

Kelly quickly snapped out of her emotional roller coaster long enough to swerve the vehicle before it crashed into another oncoming truck blaring it’s horn. In that moment, as the truck passed, time seemed to slow down for Kelly and she could see the older man driving, his fearful yet disgusted expression as he stared at her. And just as quickly, she found herself off on the shoulder of the road heading toward a rocky berm, but nothing could be done at that point as the car came to a quick stop when it hit the mound of stone and dirt, throwing her forward against the deployed airbag. 

The realization of not only her physical & naked state, but of past events hit her all at once, as she felt the pain, not only of her dark deeds, but her wounds. Her insides hurt, and without warning, she vomited onto the passenger’s seat, a mass of blood and digested meat strewn everywhere, and the scent repulsed her even more. Whatever was happening to her, it was as though the wolf had abandoned its host, its fearlessness gone, replaced by emotions. 

Terrible [i]human[/i] emotions that left her paralyzed with indecision at that moment.
