"Mother...fucker." Vickii grunted, holding the hole in her stomach and falling over.
"Get back here!" Lance returned to human form and went after Jaxon.
"Take care of Vickii! Fabian, with me!" Kid ordered as he and Fabian took off after the two boys.
"I'm gonna...kill him." Vickii said, trying to get up.
"Let me fix you first." Sammy lightly push Vickii back down.
"My...war hammer." Vickii gasped for air.
"You can kick his ass later, now stay still." Sammy held her arm above Vickii and sliced it open, several drops of her black blood going into the wound.
"How does that make you feel?" Vickii asked, watching herself heal up while Sammy healed even faster.
"How does what make me feel?" Sammy asked. "Don't play the pronoun game with me."
"Knowing that your blood can heal people." Vickii sat up when the hole in her stomach was closed. "Your blood works better and faster than Eruka's magic."
"Feels pretty freaking awesome." Sammy laughed. "Now go figure out what the hell is wrong with Jaxon." Vickii chuckled before getting up and running in the direction the boys had gone. Sammy's smile went away the moment she was alone, feeling bad that she had just lied to her friend. Sammy didn't want to admit how much trouble her black blood was causing her. She hadn't had a good night's rest since that terrible day. She would have horrible nightmares of going mad and tearing apart everyone that she cared for. Her body would start to shake and she would laugh as the images continue to flash in her mind, even after she had woken up. Lance hadn't slept much either, keeping Sammy calm and preventing her from losing her mind completely. Sammy felt horrible for what she was doing to the boy, he's gone through enough in his life already, he didn't need an insane girlfriend.
"Hello!" Sammy was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Jaxon's voice and a knock on the window of room one-seventeen's door. "Are you here to save me?" Jaxon asked.
"What? But if you're...then who..." Sammy flinched when a loud alarm started blaring throughout the building. "Shit!" She cursed and scrambled to her feet. Sammy had kept her arm as an ax and she used the blade to cut open the door handle, stealth no longer needed. "You have a lot of explaining to do." She said to Jaxon and yanked him out of the room.
"I didn't do anything." Jaxon said. "I've been in the damned room the whole time."
"You or at least someone who looks like you just stabbed Vickii." Sammy said.
"I saw, but I knew she'd be fine. Vickii's a stubborn son-of-a-bitch." Jaxon chuckled.
"Now is not the time to be yourself, we have to get out of here now." Sammy grabbed Jaxon's arm and lead him to room one-fifteen. "Hope! Me and Jaxon are coming up!" She called.
"Okay!" Hope called back.
"Holy shit, this room is kinky." Jaxon played with a chain hanging from the wall. "Who's the dude?" He asked, pointing at the guard.
"We were trying to be sneaky at first, but then shit hit the fan." Sammy grabbed a chair and set it under the hole in the ceiling. "Go." She ordered Jaxon.
"Yes, ma'am." Jaxon saluted before hopping up on the chair and crawling through the hole. Sammy stepped up on the chair and looked over at the guard, who was still struggling to get the chain off of him.
Sammy opened her mouth and let out a hiss, black ooze dripping out of her mouth. She let out a screech and jumped off of the chair and on top of the guard. Sammy used her nails to claw open the man's throat and she bit the side of his neck, swallowing the chunk of flesh...
"Sammy, hurry up!" Hope said, her voice a soft echo in Sammy's hallucination.
"I'm coming." Sammy felt her heart racing fast and she quickly crawled up before her vision became reality.
"Why did you just stand there?" Hope asked. "You looked lost for a second."
"I'm fine. Just tired." Sammy lied again. "Let's get back to the house and figure out what we're doing next." The three jumped out of the window and then hopped off of the dumpster, seeing the others running towards them.
"Did you get him?" Jaxon asked Lance.
"Him? Don't you mean you?" Kid snapped and grabbed Jaxon's arm. "I have half a mind to end you on the spot for the shit you've put us through."
"That wasn't Jaxon." Lance said.
"How the hell wan't it?" Kid asked.
"There was a mark on the other guys neck, the mark of a cloaking spell." Lance explained.
"Are we Harry Potter or something?" Fabian scoffed.
"Shut up ass-less wonder." Kid held an arm out and prevented Fabian from attacking Lance. "There's a spell that allows you to take the appearance of any person as long as you have something that have some form of their DNA."
"How would they have my DNA? And why me?" Jaxon asked.
"Have you met your mop of hair? And you're known as the only one that can fight Nader, no one else in the group, except maybe Rob, would." Lance said.
"What about me?" Vickii asked. "I fight him all the time."
"You're his daughter and I'm pretty sure no one wants to take your form." Lance said.
"I'm gonna hit him!" Vickii snapped.
"Not now, we have to go before we're caught." Kid said. "But I have my eye on you." He jabbed a finger into Jaxon's chest before taking off.
"Don't be shocked if you find your boyfriend in a coma tomorrow." Vickii said to Sammy and the others ran as well, leaving Sammy and Lance behind. Sammy looked over her shoulder at the building, the hallucination still fresh in her mind.
"You okay?" Lance asked.
"Yeah." Sammy turned away from the building and the two went off after the others, the alarm still blaring behind them.
