Chapter 10
With Kiba
Scents, sights, feelings, things that were all too familiar flooded Kiba. He could smell the mold growing on the walls of the building, and the dew resting on the leaves of the trees outside. He could've howled from joy right then, but then the others would have been scared. As he took in all of his surroundings, he noticed something else, something new. Memories of others flooded his mind. Humans running back and forth and through Kiba himself, before he could register what was happening, the image disappeared. He tried to figure out what it was, but he was being drawn to the pod room. He ran there, not waiting for the others and gasped as he entered the room.
The woman, Cher, was sitting at a desk. The things on her computer where projected onto the wall behind the pods. She quickly got up and ran over to the projection. The screen showed past memories of Kiba and his pack. The night of the full moon when Cheza showed the way to paradise, before Darcia took her, and the day they found Cheza were only a few of the images that flashed on the screen. Cher gasped again before picking up a phone and calling someone. Before she could blink, flocks of scientists were in the room watching the screen. Cher opened a pod that was containing Toboe. One of the scientists handed her a needle. She took a sample of Toboe's blood before closing his pod. The same thing happened to the rest of the pack. After she had all of their samples, she scanned them while the results appeared on the screen. The place where it showed what creature the blood was from read "wolf". They all gasped. The image quickly changed until it was later. Only two scientists were in the room now. All of the pods were open and a pile of blood samples, most likely from the pack, were spread around the room. Suddenly, a strange beeping noise went off from one of the pods. It was Kiba's pod. The Kiba was clenching his fists and was tensed up. The Kiba was shaking so hard, the pod shook a little. The scientists ran over to Kiba's pod and injected something blue into his arm. The Kiba quickly calmed down. The scientists sighed and headed out of the room.
Kiba gasped for air. He looked down at his arms. Multiple white dots were spread across his arms, scars from needles. Kiba quickly shook himself, sickened by the thought of all the humans continually sticking needles in his arms. He shuddered at the thought of what they might have injected into him. Before he could continue that though, luckily, Toboe came around the corner with Hige leaning against his side and Cheza close behind. Kiba knew they had to get out, and he knew just how to do it.
With Hige
Hige had seen the weird light on Kiba and the dog, but he didn't think it was real. It was probably just an illusion from some kind of brain damage or whatever. Hige didn't linger on the thought as they wandered the halls to go back to the hole. Hige didn't know exactly what they were going to do, for, based on Toboe's reports, there was some kind of Star Wars type force field surrounding the building. Toboe had constantly babbled about how there was no possible way, or at least for Toboe, out. Kiba walked over to the hole and, of course, was pushed back.
"Shoot!" Kiba muttered, quite loudly. The girl started humming her song again and Kiba calmed down. That weird glowing happened again. Hige didn't believe it, but when he opened his eyes back up, Kiba was on the other side of the door. Hige tried to go through, but unfortunately, he was repelled back. Toboe tried, and was successful.
"You cannot leave, you must stay to recover," The girl said directly to Hige. At first he protested, but then thought that lying down might be a good idea. The girl smiled, waved bye to the others, and sat down by a wall. Hige limped over to the wall and sat down beside. What the hell was he supposed to do while they were gone? Hige pondered on this a while before falling into a light sleep.
With Tsume
Tsume woke up in that freaking cell again. He was getting ready to continue his useless effort to bend the bars when he noticed that there was a wire sticking out of him. He pulled it out and followed it until he found a machine. What is this? Tsume wondered, but he wasn't sure. The machine wasn't like anything he had ever seen before. After a while, Tsume checked himself for more wires, which he found two others, and went over to the bars. He didn't really want to know what the machine did, or what happened to him. Tsume just wanted to get out of there. He didn't care about Darcia, wait. Darcia? How did Tsume know that? Tsume hadn't really thought about the memories the girl gave him, but now, he treasured them like gold. Cheza, Darcia, the names flooded his mind. The first time he went through them, a bunch of dogs were there, but then, he found out that it was him. The others were there, too. They were all dogs, no not dogs, wolves.
With Toboe
Toboe wasn't sure exactly where they were going, but he did like the idea of rescuing Tsume. He had a whole little fantasy about him and Kiba storming into the place the guy was holding Tsume, then Toboe would uppercut him and free Tsume, who would thank him with that attitude.
Toboe sighed; these little fantasies he was making up only made him grow more impatient. He fidgeted with his fingers and twiddled his thumbs, but he couldn't help but grow anxious. That's when those thoughts started to go through his mind. What if something happened to Kiba, or him? What if when they got there, if they got there, Tsume was dead? What if? What if? He groaned at those uncomforting thoughts and knew that Kiba had heard him. Kiba picked up the pace, making Toboe a little less anxious, but he still worried.
Sorry it took a while to post, two days with thre birthdays to attend can wear you out. I want to also like to make note for the readers that I used Star Wars. I don't own that either!
