Chapter 10: Secret Research Facility
Emily's POV
I could feel myself slowly waking up. The sleepiness was still so bad that I couldn't even open my eyelids. My legs didn't want to respond to my commands either.
"The female is waking up" I heard someone say. Then I remembered, the thirst, breaking into the hospital, running, and then captured! Oh my god Jason was there! Was he okay? Was I? Where were we?
"When do you think the male will wake up?" I heard a different voice ask, this one sounded like a woman.
"I don't know, but it's the female that we want to awaken already. It's better for her condition if she comes out of the anesthesia already" I heard the first voice say.
What condition?! What was wrong with me?! What did they do to me?!
I was finally able to open my eyes and move my legs.
I blinked a couple of times and saw that I was surrounded by grass. Only it was artificial grass. It looked like I was in one of those zoo habitats. There was a fake cave and a fake pond in here. It was some sort of sick joke really.
I saw Jason nearby and he was fast asleep. I went over to him and tried to wake him up but to no avail.
I looked around and really took in my surroundings. We were in what looked like a science lab of some sort. I tried running towards it once I was sure that I was completely awake but instead I smacked right into the wall. That was strange; my super strength should've been able to break it. What was going on here?!
"Good luck trying to escape wolf girl. We've designed this place just for you and you're friend over there. We weren't sure what you both would be capable of doing so we made it nearly impossible to escape" he said.
I growled viciously at him. I could tell already that I was going to hate these guys. Scratch that, I already hate them! How dare they do this to us! How dare they treat us like this! We were people to! Seriously, we are supposed to protect humans from vampires?! Because right now I'd be grateful to whatever bloodthirsty vampire came in her on a rampage and hurt all these people!
I went over to Jason and saw that he was beginning to wake up as well. That made me happy, I didn't like to see him completely knocked out by drugs like that, it really scared me.
"Emily where are we?" he asked.
"In some sort of research laboratory I think" I said.
"How long have I been asleep?" he asked.
"I don't know, I just woke up not to long ago" I said.
"Do you know what they did to us?" he asked.
"I don't know I'm just as clueless as you are" I said. I was scared and I think he could sense it.
"It' okay Emily, we are going to get out of here" he said.
"It's impossible, they designed this place so it would be next to impossible" I said.
"We have to try" he said.
We went and watched the research scientists. We were trying to look for ways that we could escape. We wanted to gather as much information as we could. Then I felt something kick me from the inside. That was weird, it really felt like there was something moving inside of me.
"Are you okay Emily?" he asked; he looked very worried.
"I'm fine, it's probably just nerves or something" I said.
"These two have very interesting DNA" I heard one of the scientist say. His name tag read David.
"It's odd. They both have 24 pairs of chromosomes, which can be expected since they are a different species. However, the female's DNA is also a bit different from the male's. Her genes are even more unusual then his is" the woman, whose name tag read Lisa, said.
"I agree. I want to focus on studying her even more then the male for that reason" David said.
Jason and I looked at each other in fear. We both knew very well the reason that my DNA was "a bit different" and "more unusual" then his. I have vampire genes. If they continue to study my DNA they will figure out that I'm a mixture of three different species; human, vampire, and shape shifter. If we don't stop this research then they will discover that vampires exist. I started shaking in fear.
"What's interesting about them is that they retain human like intelligence in their wolf forms" David said.
"If we discover what they are this will be the greatest break through in the history of science" Lisa said.
"It'll revolutionize life science as we know it" David said.
"and we'll be rich and famous" David said.
I growled in frustration. I couldn't believe how selfish some people can be. They want fame and glory. We couldn't allow this to happen! We can't let the rest of the supernatural world get exposed as well! I was not going to be responsible for endangering my family and every single other vampire out there.
"Let's try breaking out of here again. Then we will destroy this whole lab as we escape" he said.
"Let's do it" I said and nodded my head for emphasis.
We went back far enough to get a good running head start and we charged towards the glass only for us to smack right into it again.
All we succeeded in doing was giving ourselves a huge headache and annoying all of the scientists around us.
The two that had been looking at our DNA just walked over to us looking extremely annoyed.
"Don't even bother trying to escape, it's nearly impossible. Even if you did manage it we would still find you right away because we inserted a GPS tracking device into your bodies" she said.
Oh no! This was not good, not good at all.
Then they looked at me. The lady sneered at me before saying "and you young lady better stop over exerting yourself. You see you've been artificially inseminated with your friend's sperm. You're currently pregnant with a litter of six puppies. So you had better take care of yourself" she said.
I became as still as a statue. I couldn't think, or do anything. I couldn't process what she had just said to me.
Then I was angry; I was extremely angry. They violated my body!
I looked over at Jason who was as still as a statue to. Not even he could form a coherent thought either.
In all my life I had never been so furious! If I was angry before then I was sadly mistaken. This was true anger.
"It's okay Emily" Jason said.
"Okay! How can it be okay?!" I screamed so loudly in my mind that I made him flinch.
"We'll think of something. We will escape from this place somehow" he said.
"How?" I asked.
"As long as we are in wolf form we can stay connected to the pack. We can gather all the information that we can about our location and relay that information to them. Then they will pass it along to our parents and the rest of our family. They will help us escape" he said.
"You're right. They don't know we can communicate telepathically as wolves. This will be our secret weapon" I said.
It made me feel better that we had some sort of plan at least. I was still so angry, upset, and scared by the whole situation.
Then one of the babies started kicking me, alerting me to his or her presence. I was given one more reason to escape. These little guys could not be born here. I couldn't let them be raised in this place.
I still didn't understand why they would do this in the first place. Why would they want me pregnant?
"For their stupid studies of course" Jason said. I had forgotten for the moment that he could hear what I was thinking. "They probably want to know what happens during the developmental stages. Then when they're born they can torture them the same way that they are torturing us" he said.
I growled. I was angry at how cruel some people can be.
I continued to be angry and frustrated for the rest of the day. I also wished that the rest of the pack back home would phase that way we could communicate with them.
While we were here we learned quite a bit about our whereabouts. We were hidden somewhere in Alaska. We also learned that we had been here for a week already. I overheard them saying that my babies were developing a lot faster then that of a normal wolf so they had no idea when I'd be ready to give birth.
At long last they all left for the day and shut off all of the lights. We snuggled up close to each other and fell asleep quickly.
The sounding of panting is what woke us up. When I opened my eyes I saw a large grey wolf. He looked older, as if he had been alive for a very long time. One look at him though and I immediately knew that he was a shifter to.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"Young ones, my name is Taha Aki. I'm here to help you" he said.
"Taka Aki as in the great spirit chief?" Jason asked. It was odd, could it really be him? Our parents had told us all of the tribe's legends. None of them ever said if he lived or died. Only that he was so stricken by grief at his wife's death that he never became a man again and he left to the forest, never to be seen.
"You've been taught well young one. All of that is true. It has been centuries since I've last been seen by anyone" he said.
"So why now?" I asked.
"There are times when I've sensed my tribe's need of protection. Then a new generation of wolves appear and they handle the cold ones. This time I've been contacted by the spirits who told me that my protection is greatly needed this time" he said. "I also know where your family is" he added.
"How are we supposed to escape?" Jason asked.
"I've already set you free. We should leave now before the humans come back" he said.
It was true. He had found a way to free us. So we followed him out.
We continued to run until for the rest of the night. We ran until we couldn't run anymore. I was tired, hungry, and still thirsty for blood. The burning had not gone away in a week. In fact, it had only gotten worse.
"I'll be right back" Jason said. He came back a few minutes later with a dead deer.
"It's for you" he said.
"I'll share it with you both. You both have to be extremely hungry to" I said.
"No" Taha Aki said. "You need it more then we do. You have to take good care of those babies of yours" he said.
"How did you know about them?" I asked.
He sighed "There is something else that I should tell you. When the spirits contacted me they also said the spirit of my third wife would be born again in the body of one of your babies" he said.
Jason and I went into shock.
