Running Wolves
Chapter 02: The News
Felicity, Rhydian and the entire restaurant stare at the screen in shock, horror and sadness.
"What a stupid move by those people! They didn't even thought about the other Wolfbloods who don't want their secrets exposed? A man from some table at the back exclaimed in anger and worry.
As for Felicity and Rhydian they run out of the dinner leaving a big tip on the table as a paycheck. Their appetite was long gone. Way gone.
Their lives were in danger…well Felicity's mostly. They reached her apartment and she quickly rushed to the bedroom.
She bends down from the bed and pulls out a suitcase, a big suitcase! Then she twirled around in the house and room gathering essentials like clothes, toothbrush, hairbrush…everything!
"Rhydian, can you tap roughly the inside of my wardrobe and take everything from there with the gloves on the dresser." Felicity yelled at him from the inside bathroom.
Rhydian did as he was told but cursed under his breath when he saw the big sums of money and guns inside the hole on the wall.
"Um…Felicity! Why do you have guns? Do you have license for them?" Rhydian whispered yelled in shock at Felicity who rushed out the bathroom towards the suitcase on the bed.
"Because as long as hunters exist Segolia can't do shit to protect us no matter what they preach otherwise my dad wouldn't have been their first victim in this shitty life!" Felicity said to Rhydian in anger, her wolf was out of control.
She zipped the bag and put it over her shoulder then did the same for the one with her guns and then looked at Rhydian and with her head motioned the door who he nodded and opened the door for her.
Then as the loaded the car she run back inside the house and opened the kitchen and then all the windows when she saw the first flame appear she run out of the apartment and rang the fire bell and then run again and climbed to her car as they sped off.
"Did you just set the entire apartment in flames? What the fuck, Felicity?!" Rhydian exclaimed in horror at his friend's tactics but Felicity didn't say anything.
She was so done with running but she knew she couldn't do anything about it. They rented a hotel under a false name and then decided to get some rest as they watched the news she saw that her apartment was on fire and she knew that Oliver will start blowing up her phone and tracking her down so she smashed her phone and threw it away.
"What are you planning to do now?" Rhydian asked her helplessly as they laid face to face on the twin beds.
"Go get my mum and my daughter and then maybe fly to Canada? To you and Maddy…no that will draw attention to you two. Fly to London and make sure Jana and the pack are able to fight them off." Felicity said calculating and slightly worried.
One the other side of Starling City Oliver was training with Sara when Diggs raised the voice of the monitor that spoke of the news about the fire in Felicity's apartment.
"Guys! Check this!" Diggs exclaimed worriedly and the Green Arrow and the Black Canary rushed to his side and stare in shock.
"Call Felicity, Oliver!" Sara urged him as Oliver dialed the phone it wouldn't get through.
After the fourth try he got frustrated and decided to go find her himself but he couldn't. That made him even more worried when the news said that the fire was an arson that had started from apartment D23 which Team Arrow knew as Felicity's apartment and they were signs of struggle and many items along with the resident were missing.
Team Arrow were getting worried since in their heads Felicity couldn't protect herself and whoever attempted and successed to get to her wanted something from the Arrow.
The Next Day:
Felicity woke up with the sense that someone was watching her and as she opened her eyes she saw a masked figure pointing a gun on her head she panicked and she looked at Rhydian's side and saw him unconscious with a dart sticking out of his neck.
"Fuck!" She groaned before the man shot her too and everything went black.
She woke up hours later being tied on top a bed that she had no idea why it felt so comfortable.
"Where am i?" She asked the man with the doctor's coat.
"Relax miss Smoak, I will just draw some blood and cells for research purposes of course! It's such an extraordinary thing that you've been hiding for such a long time amongst us!" The doctor said to her and she understood he was Polish not British she hadn't seen his face yet though.
"NO!" She yelled as she felt her restrains digging in her hands and legs then she saw his face…half of it was teared up with claw marks and insane eyes.
Her eyes became big as sausages then the needle went inside her neck and she let a few tears slip to her cheeks.
Hours Later:
Felicity woke up and her body was on fire but she wasn't in a hospital bed but a dungeon and many people were with her too including Rhydian.
"Rhy!" She exclaimed as she hugged him but then she witnessed how she was and how her friend was.
There was dry blood all of her and Rhydian. Then shocked she looked the expressionless people that rested their heads on the wall all around her and every hope had been sucked from her being.
"Where are we?" She asked a boy her age with green eyes and pale skin.
"Hell." He said with an emotionless tone.
She couldn't be here anymore! She needed to get herself and them out now! Rhydian would be a dad soon!
She needed a plan of escape.
Felicity looked around her and out of the small window and understood where she was;
London, UK.
She smiled in hope as she attempted to put her hand through it and have the sun touch her skin but then her fingers grasped a paper and the view of London crumbled in her hands. It was fake! The view behind the paper was concrete wall, nothing!
Her hope was yet again sucked out of her.
She felt as if it was eons until a doctor walked in and violently grabbed her and she spent the time she was dragged around she had mapped the place in her head and once she reached the examination/torture room she knocked them out with her elbow and kicked them and she grabbed the keys and started running to the dungeons and quickly opened the cells and every Wolfblood suddenly perked up and started running and kicking and knocking doctors and guards out!
Once they managed to get out she sighed and then frown, she hadn't planned what to do next once they got away. She needed a minute to think.
Now they saw it was night outside and they were in Starling City not London and the closest building was an abandoned warehouse but it won't do since they were Wolfbloods who were wounded and sick.
They need a clean, warm and secure place.
"What now?" Rhydian asked her out of breath and she was unsure, she couldn't speak because she didn't know what was next.
"We set base to the abandoned warehouse and at dawn we will see." Felicity said displeased with what she was forced to do, she was worried about the sick and injured but there was no other way.
After hours of walking and limbing they arrived at the warehouse where Felicity then came with another obstacle…the warehouse looked abandoned but it wasn't. On the door was a high tech lock only with fingerprints you could open it.
She cursed and banged the door.
Every single Wolfblood looked at her and you could see the hope in their eyes being drained slowly yet again.
That moment exactly the door opened revealing a man around the age of 50 years old smiling as he laughed at the song on the radio that was located somewhere inside.
"Took you long enough! Come in! Come in! We have everything you'll need!" The man said with a welcoming voice and allowed his eyes to glow showing them he was one of them.
"How? How did you know?" Felicity asked him and the man's face darkened.
"I saw them bring every single one of you in that god forsaken place! My son sneaked around to find a way to bring you out, I could hear your cries from the tortures every day for months! So, I did what I was able to, I set a med bay and a home for all of you. Don't worry about the space you can fit 7.000 people in here! I'm sorry I could help get you out but I saw you and the fight you put up while being dragged out of the black minivan gave me hope that you'll do something to save them! And thank God I was right! I'm Doctor Sebastian Silvers by the way." The man said to Felicity and Rhydian the only ones who second guessed his help while the rest of them were too tired to do anything but accept the care and hospitality of Mr. Silvers.
Of course none of two friends were as injured as the rest of the Wolfbloods.
"Where is your son now?" Felicity asked suspiciously.
"He went to bring food and helping hands to nurse the victims. He'll be back shortly. Now come on, sit down you look tired both of you!" Mr. Silvers urged them to sit in the table near the entrance where the radio was.
"You live here?" Rhydian asked the man before him and he nodded.
"Yes, I don't like the hustle and bustle of Starling City…it was a different down during the 60s in my youth but now I'm too old for that high tech stuff…my son insisted that I get the lock you saw outside…he works for QC in the IT Department." Mr. Silver said smiling to Felicity and Rhydian. Felicity's eyes widen at the sound of where his son was working! He will definitely recognize her!
After that talk Felicity went around to check on the injured and help them in order to distract herself from worry over being recognized.
She then turned to see what were Rhydian and Mr. Silvers talking about so happily and her eyes set to her work colleague, Steven Silvers, she had a crush on him during the time she was doing some "favors" to Oliver before knowing he was the Arrow.
"Felicity?! Oh! Dear Lord!" Steven run to her and hugged her catching her off guard as he held her tight in a bear hug.
Felicity's eyes widen in shock and her body hurt even more.
"Steven let the girl go she is hurt." His father said softly and Steven let her go but squeezed her hand in sympathy.
"You are one of us?" Steven asked confused and Felicity nodded before she finally broke down crying. All the tiredness of the hectic day took a toll on her.
Steven and her sat in a spare bed and talked for hours about what they were doing. Steven was planning to give Felicity confession to his sister, Amalia, who was a journalist to publish it and expose them.
"Segolia did nothing?" Steven questioned her and she shook her head no.
"They allow my father die why you think would care for us…we are no politician or wealthy people…we can't offer them anything in exchange thus we do not matter." Felicity said in sadness as she hugged her knees and Steven adjust the blanket around her to keep her warm.
"Bastards!" Steven growled out and his eyes glowed in anger as he watched around him all the suffering people.
"Dad, do you think they are more facilities like this one?" Steven asked his father who was standing behind them.
"I bet there are many more." Rhydian answered instead he was worrying about his wife and their unborn child.
"What do we do?" Steven asked in worry but his questioned hanged unanswered in the air while Felicity stare at them in a calculating manner.
"We kill every single one of them! They experiment and kill us we kill them back! They want war they will have it!" Felicity said angrily.
"No. Then they will paint us as terrorists." A woman with her son spoke from the near bed. Her son was asleep while she was holding a hot cup of soup.
"We need strategic hits. I'm sorry my name is Commander Elizabeth Tereson, I work for the US Army or worked….i got fired for being a Wolfblood and my husband gave us up to my boss and these son of bitches got my son from school. I searched for him like crazy and I fell into a trap and I know for a fact I'm not the only Wolfblood that works for the US Army or any Army in the world for a matter of fact. If we somehow reach out to them and ask for their help they can help us from the inside. At least that is one plan I came up with the second one is to negotiate with them and tell them we are not a threat since we lived amongst them for eons!" Elizabeth said to the group before them.
"How do we make them listen?" Felicity asked her and she smiled.
"Through your sister, Steven, may I call you Steven?" Elizabeth said politely and Steven nodded.
"I believe if we are honest the common citizen won't condone with such torturous!" Elizabeth said as a matter of fact.
"I believe that your way of thinking has many loopholes." Felicity confessed to Elizabeth who nodded accepting Felicity's opinion.
Like that a conversation started amongst the five people. They were discussing the fate of an entire species.
While in the other side of Starling City Oliver and his team sat in their Foundry in total silence not knowing what to do, where to search first for their IT girl.
Unable to help.
Unable to see the bigger picture.
