Footsteps sharply clicked across the smooth floor to stop then followed with the squeak of a chair and the sound of a coffee cup hit a table.
The smell of coffee filled the air invading Selene's nose with the scent.
She was still drowsy and had not opened her eyes yet everything was slowly starting to come together, where she was and what happened... and Saxon.
She opened her eyes only to slam them shut again, since the bright light above her stung her eyes.
She could not move in the slightest and had a terrible pain in her back Saxon that once lay in her arms was gone.
She tried slowly opening her eyes again breathing heavily her anger was building again. As her eyes adjusted to the light she could see she was in some sort of medical theatre she was heavily bolted to a table with the highest grade equipment.
She let out a roar causing the room to shake violently along with the high pitch sound once again calling for Saxon but there was no reply and she could not sense him anywhere.
Two new scientists and a doctor in the room next door looked up from their papers to the vibrating room around them
"She's awake"
"Yes it may pay to clamp her jaw shut until she is sedated again" They causally discussed between themselves.
The first scientist got up at the second roar which was louder than the first
"Better do it now, before the walls crack caving this place in" he said hurrying out the room into the next.
He stood over Selene looking down at her red eyes that burned with a ring of fire in them staring intensely at him
"Where is my son?" She snared at him coldly but kept herself calm for an answer.
He did not answer she could feel him attach a metal device to the bars holding her head in place she knew what he was doing.
Before he could tighten the metal ring across her jaw clamping it shut she took the opportunity to spit up on his face.
He took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped the spit off then tightened the clap full closing her jaw
"You can have that one for free, next time you wont" he snare coldly at her, she lifted her lip baring her fangs at him and letting out a low growl though her teeth.
"I can fix that too" he grabbed a roll of electrical tape off the bench ripped off a good strip and slammed it hard on mouth.
He said nothing more and left her on the table in pain they did not see her as a human just a monster that did not disserve pain killers.
Saxon was contained in a new cell the same as the last on a different floor a number of sensing blockers where stationed around his containment area that was sound proofed so in no way he could contact, call or hear his mother.
This cell was made up for him to stay a long time it was bare with one bed and a carpeted floor that was it. He still had the collar on like an animal but this one was not attached to a wire or chain it had a higher radio activated device that transmitted to the device on the roof.
Saxon woke on the floor in a plain white shirt and pants that looked like pajamas he almost faded into the rest of the room that was entirely white except for the carpet that was more cream.
He slowly sat up looking at his surroundings, on one wall a mirror from which he knew they where watching form the other side
"Mum?" he asked drowsy trying to clear his eyes hoping she was close but he was by himself.
His echoing voice was the only response he had.
Kain carried Lilly in his arms and Sophia on his back with no effort at all until he had two humans on his tail.
"There coming!" Sophia said holding onto her brother tighter almost strangling him.
"I know" he was becoming tired he had already run five city blocks at full hybrid speed not caring if he was seen.
The humans where on bikes they barely managed to catch up to him they had tranquilizer guns out ready to shoot them as they picked up more speed.
Kain panting heavily out of breath barely managed to leap over a six foot fence into a parking lot blocking the biker's path.
He ran for the closest car he could find and placed Lilly down on the hood
"What are you doing?" Sophia stayed on his back
"Getting us transport" He said smashing the car window in with his fist setting off the alarm
"That's stealing"
"Steal the car and get away or let them catch us" he pointed to the two humans climbing the fence into the lot.
"Point made" She said climbing into the car thought the window and unlocked the doors.
Kain heard both the humans jump down into the lot at the same time heard three large guard dogs running their way barking like mad at them intruding.
"Open the back door" Kain told Sophia scooping Lilly off the hood then carefully laid her on the back seat and slammed the door shut so the dogs couldn't get to them
"Try and wake her up" Kain said then suddenly dodged a dart that shot past his back narrowly missing him.
Three rather aggressive Dobermann's ran barking toward Kain who stood close to the car with the alarm going off. The humans stood back letting the dogs go for them giving themselves an advantage only to learn first hand Kain's powers.
Before the dogs leapt up on Kain he calmly raised his hand and let out a low whisper in a language no one, not even Selene or Marcus could understand.
The dogs stopped barking immediately Kain lowered his and continued to whisper, the three dogs sat and listened.
"What the fuck?" one human watched in shock the other was not so shocked
"Stuff this shoot the bastard!" he yelled trying to refill his own weapon with another dart.
The three dogs simultaneously all looked over at the humans without Kain even pointing to them
"Oh shit" He squealed as the dogs got up and ran for them instead
"Shoot them!" the second yelled but the human left him and ran for the fence spinning up onto the wire like a frog.
"Hey!" he screamed not having his gut fully loaded the dart was jammed in the barrel breech and would not slid into place.
Kain got into the car and ripped off the wheel lock and pulled off the cover to the key slot on the modern car then began to fiddle with the wires and electronics
"Do you know what you are doing?"
"Yes, keep trying to bring her round" Kain told her glimpsing up at the human who was now on the floor being mauled by two dogs the other was at the top of the fence who was snagged on razor wire and was screaming in horror at his mate was being eaten alive and the third dog was jumping up at him like a spring trying to bite at a low limb
"Don't look out the window Soph, just keep down" he told her so she wouldn't see the man being ripped apart.
The car gave a short turn and cut out then another the engine roared as it came to life
"Alright let's get out of here" Kain let off the breaks and put his foot down screeching the car out of the park and toward the exit leaving the dogs their new meal.
"Lilly" Sophia shook Lilly again and again trying to wake her and finally she gave a moan to wake with fright as Kain smashed the car though the gate and bar barriers creating a loud crunching and smashing screech.
"What the...?" She sat up looking around
"Where is mum?"
Kain did not answer he just concentrated on the road and where they possibly where going to go.
"Kain?!" She yelled at him she was drowsy and grouchy, she wanted answers.
"Kain where is mum?!" She yelled climbing into the front seat next to him.
"I don't know" he answered honestly he didn't want to tell her.
"What do you mean you don't know" she screamed over the car alarm
"She ran off to kill the ones who shot you, she told me to take the two of you to safety"
Lilly let out a sigh and flopped back into her seat angry and hurt.
"I'm sorry"
She barely heard him say over the racket of the alarm.
She took her anger out on the dashboard ripping it off then biffing it out the window and punched a hole in the main frame reaching for the wire to the electronic alarm, she knew where it was she had crashed Duncan's car and had to pull out the wire to make the car horn and alarm that was set off stop.
"Careful" Kain said worried as she dove her hand in toward the hot engine.
She yanked out a white wire then sure enough the alarm stopped.
"What are we going to do Kain?" Sophia asked putting on a brave face, he could still hear the fear in her voice.
"We'll drive past the hotel and see if we can see Erika then find somewhere to hide" He told it to her as it was she sat silently in the back.
They drove up toward the hotel to sense Erika was gone but the scent of her blood remained
"No!" Lilly yelled wanting to get out and see, Kain grabbed her arms stopping her before she got out.
"You can't..."
A loud bang from above echoed though the car they all yelled with fright shooting their heads up to see four sets of claws in the roof
"Dad!" Sophia yelled in delight she knew who it was without picking up his scent.
Marcus was more than delighted to hear his daughters voice from within the car but there was a time for that later they had bigger problems.
"Dad?" Kain stopped the car and looked out the window up at him
"Go! Drive, fast, NOW!!!"
"What about mum!" Lilly had no choice but to shut the door and stay in the car as it speed along the street.
"Dad!" Sophia called for him winding down the window for him to climb in.
"I'm coming, move away from the window" he held on tightly and in one swing flipped over the side and into the window landing right in place on the back seat.
Before he could blink Sophia had her arms around him tightly
"It's alright" he hugged her back just as hard he was pleased to have at least some of his family back. Bullets broke the short reunion shooting though the back window and out the front missing them all narrowly.
Marcus shielded Sophia with his back while Lilly kept her head down, Kain kept on driving whether a bullet hit him or not.
He glanced in the rear-view mirror to see two more humans on bike firing freely at them, only to have the mirror shot off.
He flinched at the spray of mirror shards and was becoming annoyed as his range or view in front was blocked from the cracked glass.
"Lilly hit out the windscreen!"
She wasted no time in lifting her foot and kicked out the windscreen sending glass everywhere.
"Head toward the old museum on the other side of town there is an old safe house there" Marcus yelled to him then turned to Lilly
"You mother is alive she has been captured, for some reason they need her alive"
Lilly let out a slight sigh of relief in the knowledge
"What about dad?"
"Being held at the castle he is fine"
They heard more shots being fired behind them Marcus poked his head up to see the shots where not being fired at them but at each other, another car had come in to play and was taking on the bikes.
Now Marcus understood.
"There are two of them"
"What?" Lilly and Kain simultaneously asked at the same time
"Two human groups, organisations, what ever they are both after us but a rivals to each other as well"
"Great" Kain snarled to himself
"We could use this to our advantage, while they are battling each other we can escape, turn off the headlights drive in the dark they cannot see us"
Kain flicked off the lights there car disappeared into the black night and barely they made a slim escape from their pursuers.
