Kelly was startled when the door swung open, but not as much as the man was when she jumped him, her hand targeting his in order to push the gun away. She struggled with him for a moment in a physical battle which would determine who would end up having control of the weapon, but that's when she remembered she had the knife as well, a pivotal advantage to their tug-o-war. Kelly kneed the man on the side of his leg before bringing the blade of the knife to his neck, her free hand still clutching the barrel of the gun.
"Drop the gun or this knife will be buried in your neck."
As she was done threatening him, she realized he was one of the employees from the hospital. This fueled her rage even more.
"NOW!"
“Fuck!, okay, stop screaming!...” Jimmy yelled back, his leg in pain, and down on one knee at the mercy of the dark-skinned woman. He let go of the gun’s handle, allowing it to drop away from his grasp. “Y-You know you can’t run for long.” He blurted out in rushed words, darting his eyes back and forth between her and the girl on the floor who was pushing herself up to a sitting position against the side of the tub. “...he’ll find you both and probably kill you just like he was going to do to that other freak who-”
The kid quickly tightened his lips and closed his eyes. “I shouldn’t have said that…”
"Too late. That other freak who
what?" She dug the blade a little bit deeper into his neck. Not enough to draw blood, but enough for him to get the message. Kelly motioned for Czigani to pick up the weapon on the floor. They couldn't let him live, not since he knew where they were. It was a miracle that Zvikas hadn't sent Jimmy down with back-up, but she wasn't complaining.
“T-the only other w-werewolf!” He blurted out. “S-some guy who escaped the hospital a few years back!”
“That's nothing new Jimmy.” Czi spoke up, gritting her teeth in pain as she reached for the tranquilizer. “Zvikas told me about him while I was caged up. Said he was out of his mind and bent on killing the ‘resistance groups’, whatever that is.”
Jimmy laughed, glancing at Czigani’s leg and the large bruised and infected area around the wound. “That looks bad. B-but I can help you if you let me. I can fix you up.”
He turned his attention to the woman holding the knife to his throat, a large grin forming across his face. “Of course your girlfriend here needs to back down first...”
"Fine," Kelly said, pulling the knife away from the man's throat before she gave him a hard shove that sent him off balance, "but fuck this up for either one of us and I'll force-feed you your genitals until you choke to death."
She took a step back to readjust the towel wrapped around her, then looked at Czigani with a worrisome expression.
"Let him help only if you trust him enough, okay?"
“
Pfft, I never trusted his sorry ass even when he was at the hospital.” Czi scoffed, kicking Jimmy in the knee while he was trying to scramble back up from being shoved. “But the bastard’s right, he knows his shit, even though he is one. Although I’d pay to see her over there rip off your cock and shove it down your throat...”
Jimmy glanced over at the girl sitting on the floor and flashed her a sarcastic grin before sliding over to look at her leg.
“Oh wait, you probably don’t have one do you Jimmy?...”
“Shut up!” Jimmy yelled, accidently pushing on the girl’s wound causing her to scream in pain that echoed off the tiled bathroom walls, and her fist coming around to crack him across the jaw, knocking him on his back.
“You fuckin’ dumb shit!” She growled through her teeth, tears running down her face from the sharp pain surging through her body and her fist slamming onto the floor a few times in rage. Czi found herself hyperventilating as she lost control of her breathing.
"Jesus fucking christ, watch what the fuck your greasy body's touching!" Kelly rushed to Czigani's side, dropping the knife beside her as she went down on her knees to attempt to console the girl without causing any further injuries. She looked at the wound for about a second, then concentrated on Czigani once more.
"Hey it's okay, I'm here." Kelly grabbed one of the girl's hands in order to comfort her, giving it a gentle squeeze before rubbing up and down on her arm. "Just try to take slow, gentle breaths. Focus on that, not on the pain."
Kelly looked around the room again, but as expected, she didn't find anything that could be of help.
"Hey numbnuts, do you have anything we can use to help her out?"
Jimmy got up on his feet and held the side of his face where a bruise was quickly developing. “W-well, you can give her a small dose of the tranquilizer serum from the cartridge.” He pointed to the small gun laying on the floor near Czi. “And...inject it near the wound. T-that may dull the pain for awhile until the bullet c-can be taken out.”
Czigani, per Kelly’s advice, did her best to take long, slow breaths, closing her eyes for a moment until her body began to calm enough for the pain to be bearable. She opened her eyes and turned to her friend, cracking a half smile and nodding her head in thanks, before turning back to the skinny kid standing a few feet away.
“Get your ass back over here Jimmy and pull this goddamn thing out of my leg before I kill you.” She stated bluntly, before grabbing the tranquilizer pistol in an attempt to unload the metallic dart from the chamber. Once it was out, she glanced at the tip. “Here goes nothin’...” She said with a smirk and turned the dart facing down in her fist, before plunging it into her leg.
“Wait!” Jimmy blurted too late. “Just a small dose I said...more than that will knock you out for hours!”
“Don't be such a puss-” Czigani's eyes grew wide followed by heavy breathing and an uncontrollable muscle spasm that had her rocking back and forth. She dropped the dart causing it to roll toward Jimmy and her hand tightened around Kelly's, trying to form words in between the adrenal surge.
“Wha...th’ fuck...is this…?” She violently panted, squeezing the woman's to an uncomfortable pressure.
Jimmy's expression changed to bewilderment, as he noticed the girl’s eye color changing to a bright orange-yellow hue. He quickly reached down and examined the dart, sniffing at the bead of liquid running down from the tip.
“Holy shit…” He mumbled to himself, before repeating it louder. “T-this isn’t a t-tranquilizer...it..it’s Epinephrine!” He stared at Czigani in horror, realizing what was coming next.
“We gotta get out of here, lady!” He said, looking over at Kelly. “Zvikas loaded this t-thing with adrenaline...because he knew it would trigger the c-change!”
"Shit!
That type of change? She glanced down at Czigani who looked terrifying to anyone not having the slightest clue what was going on, but it also made Kelly very scared of her, especially now that she could be on the receiving end along with Jimmy. Without wasting time, she forced her way out of the girl's tight grip to put some distance between them. "I don't want to leave her but we don't have a choice!"
Czigani went to reach for her friend, whose hand slipped out of her grasp, and shot her a confused and pained look. “Please…” She growled through clenched teeth, even as her facial features began to shift and the bones in her body cracked as the transformation was underway.
Kelly grabbed Jimmy by the wrist before she pulled him out into the hall. It was dark out there, and her heart started to race even more as the thought of being ripped to shreds by some sort of beast made her panic. Being that she was terrified, it took a couple of tries navigating around the house before they both made it outside. She noticed the car parked in front of the house, then slowed her pace as she went around to the passenger side.
"Please tell me you have the damn keys..."
A horrific howl echoed from the house, as the sounds of thrashing and breaking glass were heard along with snarling that sent shivers up the kid’s spine. Jimmy frantically looked around for something that could be used as a weapon, and spotted an old shovel sticking in the ground nearby.
“And no, why the hell would I have the keys? Your friend in there was the one who drove here!”
Jimmy positioned himself behind Kelly, holding up the shovel in a defensive posture, and backing away further from the house. “I’m p-pretty sure she won’t stay in that form for long though b-because the adrenaline forced the change. So it may last as long as it’s in her system…”
The kid gasped as he saw the werewolf running past a darkened window in the house, growling and knocking things over in it’s warpath. “C-can’t
you turn into one those things?”
"No, of course it's not voluntary! Do you think that maniac would give us such freedom? We have to get out of here now, so I hope you can run."
Kelly looked behind her, noticing the road, an empty field running parallel to it, and a forested acreage just behind it. She nudged Jimmy and pointed towards the field.
"Look. I think that's our best bet."
When he took his eyes off of the house, Kelly grabbed the shovel. She didn't necessarily pull it away from him, but instead, she swung it diagonally so that the head of the shovel hit him right across the face. Jimmy dropped to the ground, but Kelly didn't bother to check whether he was conscious or not. Instead, she took off towards the field, hoping that Czigani would be distracted by Jimmy long enough for her to get away.
