Escape

Alex sat in his cell and could almost feel his mind slowly drifting away. Koren would come once a day and give him food. Alex could tell that he had not yet been given the money and was getting frustrated.

"Why so glum Koren," Alex said sarcastically.

Koren turned his head and slowly walked towards him, "I wouldn't be speaking like that if I were you," he whispered in his ear. Pain filled Alex's stomach as Koren drove his fist into him. Anger filled Alex, like it had never done before. He fell to the floor holding his side; the cruel laughter of Koren's voice filled his ears. Alex sprang up and punched Koren in the face. Alex could feel his fist hit Koren's crooked jaw. Alex looked up and saw a wolf with glowing eyes run into the cell at the sound of the scuffle. Alex prepared of the impact but a loud shot rang out. Alex could feel something splatter on his face. He opened his eyes to see Asazi with a smoking run in her hand. At his feat was the body of the beast with a hole blown into his head.

"Miss me," Asazi laughed.

"Well I can't say that I'm happy to see you, after what you did to me," Alex replied walking up to her. He looked into her eyes and held them in a deep gaze.

"Look I've changed," Asazi retorted.

Alex frowned, "No Asazi seasons change, not people. You see people keep making the same stupid mistakes.

Asazi sighed loudly, "I know I deserved that, but I just saved your ass."

"What so you can give it to some other screwed up ass hole to mess around with me," he closed the cell door loudly and checked to make sure it was locked. "No not this time I'm going alone."

"You need me, I know how to get out of here you don't."

Those last few words burned in Alex's mind, even if he didn't want to admit it, he did need her. "Fine, but if anything screwy happens I will not hesitate to leave you out there in the cold."

They ran down a long hallway with many different rooms much like the one Alex was placed in. The horrible screams of Koren echoed down the hallway, cursing them. Asazi opened up a room to reveal a two snowmobiles. The sound of scratching on the door was behind them. Alex could see another wolf jumping at the small window at the top of the door trying to get inside. The sound of a running motor filled the air and the smell of gasoline burned in Alex's nose.

"There are two snowmobiles, we will split up once we get outside," Asazi yelled out, while starting up the other snowmobile.

"No, we stick together you have the gun," Alex replied walking up to a crimson red Snowmobile with flames painted on the side. He sat on the seat and revved the motor and followed Asazi. They screamed out of the building out into a freezing cold world. The wind bit at his exposed skin, and choked him and he tried to breathe. The sun was just staring to set and shadows were slowing claiming the land, the darkness was stretching out towards him trying to trap them. They turned on their lights and kept on going, after some time Alex signaled for Asazi to stop. She killed the motor and looked at him with confusion.

"How much gas do you have left?" Alex asked.

"Less then half a tank, you?"

"Same, I'll siphon the gas out of your machine and put it into my machine. We will have to go on the same machine, we will get farther then," Asazi nodded her head in agreement. Alex looked around in one of the pouches of his machine and found a piece of hose. Lucky for them. He placed the hose into the tank and sucked trying to get the gas out. Asazi looked over at him and smiled.

"How do you know how to do that?"

"I wasn't always a good kid," Alex replied. The horrible taste of gas consumed his mouth, and he spat it out and ran over to his machine. "Well now that we have some time to talk what is Korens deal?"

"He was forced to come up here after joining the army, they gave all of the soldiers of his unit a strange drug that was suppose to make them more suitable to this harsh weather. Unfortunately it didn't work."

"Not shit!" Alex interrupted.

"As I was saying, it didn't work and well many of his friends died because of this drug, Koren on the other hand survived and became what he is today. He escaped form the lab he was held in and killed all of his commanding officers and took over the lab. Ever since that day he had been trying to find a way to reverse the effects of the drug on him."

"Wow, what a screwed up life," Alex glanced over at the snowmobile and saw that the gas was now gone. "We better get going if we are going to make it to the town alive."

He sat at the driver's seat; Asazi sat behind him and clung onto his waist tightly. They speed off into the darkness with only the stars and the moon for company.
