Ok I vow to do better this time! Oh and you already know the disclaimer...
The next morning Taylor awoke early, just like she always did, and sat on the edge of the bed. Rubbing her face she mentally cursed herself for how stupid she was. Her throat hurt very badly and it was dry, that was very bad. Getting up with minimum effort the slender girl walked to the bathroom and turned on the water faucet. Quickly she dunked her head in, drawing in a gulp in the process. This action only relieved her discomfort for a few moments.
A red light flashed and a loud siren sounded, making Taylor jump. Growling she quickly drained the sink and dawned her clothes and gunbelt. The hallway was full of agents, most of whom she did not know. Not wanting to keep her team waiting she jumped into the black mass and began the tedious journey to the loading bay.
After what seemed like an hour Taylor jumped into the back of the large garbage truck. As soon as she did this the doors closed and they were off. Strangely the truck was dimly lit, most likely from the small tank in the back, but strange all the same. Her team sat on the benches. Abe was trying to figure out something that seemed impossible to Taylor. Then again he was much smarter than her. Hellboy was fretting over his gun the 'Simaritan', and Liz was just leaning against Hellboy. Taylor sat down and leaned against the trucks' wall.
The silence was erie. It was like everyone was afraid to speak, afraid to unleash a dark shadow of some sort. Not that it bothered Taylor at all but it was odd. Her last teammates would always joke about things, trying to lift the mood. Sighing as lightly as ever Taylor relived the fond memories of breaking down doors and ambushing enemies.
Abe's POV
Abe scanned the paper he held in his hand. The information for the mission they were about to endure. It was strange, it was of another murder on the edge of the main lake. Big deal. But there was something left missing. Why would the people have called B.P.R.D for a simple murder? Unless it was done by some demon and not a human. This was all so confusing. Stashing the papers away Abe looked at this team. They all seemed to be at ease, not worrying about the possible danger. That was quite normal for him, Liz and Red. But he expected Taylor to have waves of fear rolling off of her. Instead she seemed quite pleased.Shoving the thought off he did the same as the others and tried to center himself.
An hour later there was a large bump that jolted Abe to an alert position. Only moments after the doors opened and a rouge looking face popped up.
"We're here." He said delightfully before returning to his post.'Well, here goes nothing." Abe thought as he walked onto the lakes' shore. A team of examiners had arrived before them and they were already trying to determine the death of the victim. As Abe drew closer he could see monsterous teeth marks in the victim's abdomen. His eyes widened only slightly.
"Hey! Abe! Looks like you do get to see some action!" Hellboy said to him, a smile staining his features. Abe gave him a blank stare and went to remove his equipment. How he despised these kinds of missions. Looking around he saw Liz talking to one of the examiners. She seemed a little on edge now. Then again weren't they all? There was one face he couldn't see, Taylor's. He wondered where she had gone for a few moments before deciding that she was just getting prepared.
"Alright I'm going in." Abe announced without enthusiamsm. With that being said he leaped into the cold waters.
Taylor's POV
Taylor glanced at the lake's surface. It rippled when Abe dived head first into it. He shouldn't have been going alone. Walking up to the shore she drew her hand gun.
"I'm going to check the rest of the shore." She said. Without waiting for an answer she turned and walked off. The shore was somewhat clear. Most of it was rocks and sand, but there were trees around aswell. A loud 'crack' sounded to her right, making her spin around. Her gun pointed at one particular bush. It shook violently before stopping. Out of it stepped a rabbit. Drawing in a deep breath of relief she moved on. Taylor mentally scolded herself for getting so jumpy. During this process she did not notice the large tenticle like arm appear out of the water. She didn't notice when it came for her.
The tenticle wrapped around her waist, tearing her from the land. Taylor let out a startled scream and fired rapidly into the slimy flesh. The 'thing' grew angered and pulled her underwater and forced the gun from her hand.'Dammit! Good going Taylor!' The girl hissed in the silence of her mind as she struggled to free herself. But atleast she was in water again. Instantly gills sprouted on the base of her neck, allowing her the oxygen she needed. Taylor felt stronger now and with that feeling she bit into the creature's arm. It roared in fury and released her.
Quickly stripping herself to only her shirt and pants she swam off. Not wanting to be weighed down. Slowly Taylor's fingers and toes became webbed, allowing her to move quickly through the water. Triumphantly Taylor turned to see if the creature was following. Unfortunately she could not see it.
