Control Within 15

Chapter 15- Surprise attack

When all the cameras were set up, Jesse hung a few near the top of the house, easily phasing his hand through walls and sticking them in place.

When he was done, he had started to flick all the cameras on. A triumphant smile enveloped his face when all screens came up clear and unfussy.

Turning in his chair, he stared at Emma. She was sitting on a couch that he hadn't even realised was there until she revealed it. Now that he looked at her, he saw her beauty. He hadn't ever missed it before, but now it seemed... amplified due to her using her ability in a time of need.

Emma had closed her eyes, only to feel the walls of her surroundings come apart, and reveal her to an unknown world to all her teammates, except her. It was like coming home, and arriving in the warmth glow that vibrated off the place. She relaxed into it, pulling the warmth in al around her.

A flash of her friends faces, made her remember why she was there. Scrunching her eyes shut, she concentrated on them. Their minds were distinct in this place, but it was even easier to find them, since there was...supposedly no other life there except the animals. She did pick up on other minds, and made a mental note to tell Jesse later. Right now... she needed to find the others. Her friends... her family.

A wave of images hit her when she caught Adam's mind working on overtime, as usual. He didn't really know where he was. But he knew there was trouble.
She felt a quake of fear hit her when she remembered Brennan and Shalimar. Linking to Brennan's mind, she felt a small amount of pain, and discomfort, but nothing major.

She let a sigh escape her lips; relived Brennan hadn't gotten hurt in what ever he had done. Seconds into linking, to his mind, she felt him relax, and decided he was ok. If he were with Adam, Adam wouldn't let anything happen to him.

...So where was Shal.
She allowed her mind to wonder around, and just about caught onto Shal's mind. Her breath caught when she felt Shalimar's emotions. They were overpowering. Her mind implied a simple answer that she knew was correct. Shalimar was in feral mode, and she wasn't in control.

Emma tried to sooth the feral, but some thing had already gotten to it, and was agitating it fiercely. Her mind twisted to try and not make Emma mirror Shalimar. Her emotions were starting to affect her now.

Opening her eyes, she saw bright blue instantly. She was startled and jumped slightly back. She ground her fists into the couch with relief and anger when she realised it was just Jesse.

Shaking her head, the note came into focus. She stared back at Jesse.

"We have a problem".

Nick had a mixture of scents hit him when he had been staring at Brennan, while waiting for Chris to make his decision. He was leaving as Chris had asked when he caught a small drift of a scent, and his mind crashed... He was too late to react to what happened next.

Shalimar was being overpowered by all the smells around her. Slowly, the constant dripping drove her further to the edge. When it was unbearable, voices in the distant were revealed to her.

A victorious smile spread on her face as her quick walk turned to a trot. Finally, she had found her prize.

Her foot stopped with a jolt as she heard Adam shout Brennan's name. The panic in his voice, started to bring ideas to her mind that she didn't want at that moment. There was a scuffling noise, and she quickly identified it for a struggle. Some thing had happened to Brennan.

Her trot continued, as her eyes honed in on the position on where it had come from.

Light soon started to fill part of the cave in front of her, but she hung back. She could see clearly inside, and ground her fists into her thighs, determined not to give her position away.

Her eyes roamed the scene. Brennan was being held against the wall, looking in discomfort with the position. He didn't look like he was hurt. A flush of heat rose in her, making her skin tingle with its suggestion.

Before her mind could move any more into the thought, she heard a strong and stern voice command the talk and bulky man. Her eyes narrowed in on who was holding Brennan. He was her target of attack, and he wasn't even a challenge. Her confidence filtered though all the scents and fears, leaving nothing to hold her back from getting much deserved revenge.

She saw him suddenly let go of Brennan, and her eyes shot to Brennan, to confirm her thoughts that he wasn't injured too badly. He gave a slight lean to one side, and she instantly knew his side must have been injured at some time. His chest wasn't rising properly, ticking another item on the list of injuries.

She bit her lower lip in worry at his state. She had seen him in worse states, but some thing was wrong. An invisible hand pressing on her brain, as if trying to make her realise some thing that was right in front of her eyes.

A strong, commanding voice shook all around her, making her crouch low to not be noticed. A smile of victory claimed her face as she saw the man start to move towards her. It seemed that fate agreed with her to revenge her teammates.

When his eyes landed on her, a look of startle flashed in his eyes, and then she saw him drawing on strength to over power her, but it was too late.

She pounced, and when contact hit, she felt her right kick sink into the mans awaiting stomach. All events went in slow motion.

Brennan had just caught sight of her before she had sprung into an attack. Never had he seen her eyes so intent on their target... burning with so much anger. The gold in her eyes seemed too bright to look at, making him see the rest of her. Her clothes were slightly dirty, which he gathered she might have got when chasing after the man in the woods. He was curious where he had gotten to, but right now, his mind was shattering its self repeatedly when he saw how the attack had came.

Nick doubled over, both arms cradling his stomach... but Shalimar didn't stop there. He felt all the punches, all the kicks leaving a mark in places he thought never existed.

Shalimar threw all her anger and fury into her attack, making sure to do the job right if it was going to be done. Every kick hit an exact point that caused Nick to growl in pain, and stumble back, avoiding the attacks.

Every punch knocked him further back until he was against the wall, with only flickering arms reaching out at Shalimar... but she couldn't be touched.

Adam's jaw dropped as he saw her furious-ness towards Nick. It just wasn't Shalimar who was attacking, but an enraged animal.

He tried to stop it, calling her name, and trying to reach her, but Chris held him in place, watching the scene with curious eyes. Adam was amazed he was acting so cool when one of his close friends was being pummelled into the wall by flying fists and feet.

All she could hear was the buzz off the blood as it surged through her veins. All her locked up emotions, and at that moment had fed the adrenaline, she couldn't think of any other person to take out her rage on, to unleash all her thundering emotions.

Her fists were numb from constant hitting, as well her feet, but she didn't care, As long as they did the job they were required to do, and then she was fine. Every thing else was blanked out, even though her senses kept coming back to every so often. She often heard her name being called by Adam.

Brennan was standing off to the side, just watching. A sense of need to show her strength to him, mixed with her attack. She half mocked her self in her trapped mind, 'Brennan doesn't like you like that... he'll be afraid of you after this...' But a small, luring voice countered her remark.

' An animal shows off to her chosen mate... right'. Arguments thrashed at each of the walls of her mind, leaving Shalimar to deal with them... and the feral on the outside, to do what it wished.
