Control 37

Chapter 37- Marc's email

Jesse half skidded in the dirt as he stumbled to a stop at his destination. Panting heavily, he made his way to the house and inside. He gave the front door quick grin before inhaling and stepping inside.

All the lights were out, but the sun made sure that the task of light was well done. Jesse made quick work of jogging up the stairs and grabbing the old computer that was held in the attic. When he picked it up, he noticed there was an email blinking on the screen.

Sitting down Jesse quickly made a signal for the helix to follow and sent it, before sitting down and reading the email.

'Dear Jesse

I have urgent news about the island and would greatly advise you all to leave at once.

The island was once inhabited by an ancient cult, who believed that the spirits of animals could posses selected people. The cult died out, but not before succeeding in making a half mix of a breed. A member of the cult had been injured in a wolf attack, and was fatally ill. The cult had gone out in search of the wolves, and chosen the pack leader as a... little experiment of theirs. They hunted down the wolf in its own habitat, and took it back to their land. The dying member was placed with the wolf, and when he died, they described the transfer of his soul into the wolfs.

This cult was centuries old and was only just recovered a century ago by a man called Fredrick Greens. He was travelling with a group of 10 men, and only he survived. Some said that apart of the wolf's spirit rested inside him.

Well, when the cult member died and progressed his spirit into the wolf, the wolf escaped. Three nights later, the wolf had appeared again, attacking the cult and killing them off.

The wolf attacked certain men of the cult though, and in the days, when a full moon arose, the men who survived the attacking were changed, transformed into beasts of the land.

The story was written out as a journal of one of the cult, describing the men and their changes. It went on to tell of the main wolf, the very first one, his name was Bain fangs...I found the name rather fitting... Wolfs bane... wolfs fang. Well, the journal went on to tell of a women being kidnapped from the cults village, and taken into the forest. When she was found, barely alive, 9 months later, she gave birth unknowingly to the child of Bain.

The child was named Christof Silvers, and after the Childs birth, the journal gets rather strange.

Another thing that is strange is that the language is English, making the wolf or...werewolf, an English

Here is a passage, copied word for word.

'The child grows strong over these long winters. A animal feature lurks with in him, his body holds a predators soul that is resident inside'

'The child is now a man, or half man. His eyes are of the beast that hunts us with ease with eyes of demonic light. These are Christof's native family, they come and leave him be. He is the one who brings these beasts to us'.

Christof was cast out of the cult soon after that, and not seen again. However, still the cult was being hunted down by the wolves, and to the point of extinction, as I've been lead to believe.

Jesse, i don't know how safe you all are staying there. Please, I urge you to email me back when you are leave, and make that as soon as possible.

Marc

Jesse shook his head, that had to have been the longest email he'd read in his life. He half jumped when he heard a rustling noise out side. Moving towards the window of the attic, he saw the familiar and glorious jet hovering a few inches off the ground before making a perfect landing.

Jesse couldn't hold back the smirk that lit his face at the sight of the jet. Finally, there was an upside to it all.

Back at the mansion

Shalimar started to lead the small group towards the front of the house. One look back at the group confirmed they are all there, and all except Elayne was equipped with a small backpack around their shoulders.

Brennan however, being the gentlemen, had taken her bag to make sure she could move about freely is there should any need for quick reactions.

Her feral side had made a mental check on where Brennan was, and made sure that he had been placed directly behind her. If any thing wanted to get to him, it would need to go through her, and with the mood she was in, she would gladly welcome the warm up to when she got to Chris.

The hairs all over her body uplifted as she reached the door, and wearily she glanced around and through the window. There was nothing inside or outside except for them. Elayne had made sure that all the other men were downstairs just in case they should try and catch them on their way out. A small ounce of persuasion had only been needed when the offer of drink and a flutter of eyelashes to make them all start moving in the direction of the lower room.

She only prayed that they would start with out her, but she didn't think she would be that lucky.

Shalimar pushed open the front door, signalling for the others to wait inside. Stepping out into the darkening light, Shalimar allowed her golden eyes to search the surrounding trees. When she came back with the all clear, the team started to move out.

Shalimar couldn't shake the feeling of being watched as she passed into the outline of trees and into the forest where they would head back to the house they had once occupied before they had discovered the cave.

Shalimar made sure that she allowed her senses to pick up on every sound possible; she couldn't let the team down again.

Brennan couldn't take the look of guilt that was moulded to Adam's face. Shaking his head and casting a quick glance at Adam only confirmed that Adam was watching him closely. When their eyes connected, the guilt amplified. Brennan could have sworn that he could hear Adam cursing him self in his own head.

Brennan turned back and watched where they were walking. Already the light was fading, and in return, the darkness replaced the shadows with a flare of goldenness to them. 'Cool...' the smirk that lit Brennan's face was masked by the darkness that was quickly closing in around them in every direction.

Shalimar walked with soft steps, slowing only gradually when she thought she had heard some distant noise. She stopped dead, forcing the following group to stop as well.

She strained against the noises of the woods, to hear what had caught her attention...but there was ever lasting silence. Shalimar stood erect, waiting for some signal that they may have been followed.

A shadow moved just at the corner of her eye and forcing her head to snap around in that direction with glowing eyes. Her mind froze as she was met with some thing she wasn't prepared for.

"DOWN!" Some thing very small whizzed past her head just as she dropped down. She was thankful when it didn't take the team a second to do what she had said.

She rolled down and came back onto all fours, growling venomously at the position of where the shot had came from.

Brennan looked at the tree that had been directly behind Shalimar, and a small glimmer of silver sparkled. Zoning in with his eyes, he saw a small dagger hanging out the tree's side, leaving a deep gape where it had struck.

Stunned Brennan slowly started to rise to all fours. 'Chris wouldn't need to use any weapons...'.

A boot appeared out of nowhere, crashing into Brennan's side and sending him carting back through the air and into a small thorn bush. Landing in the bush, provoked a familiar tingling in his hands and arms that were exposed. Brennan's mind reacted before instinct, and he started to push away the feeling, climbing out of the bush to normal grass.

When he was clear, Brennan searched around for his attack, but only the shadows stood before him, mocking him with its silence. Brennan huffed in annoyance 'Screw this', and with a quick flash, the shadow gave way to hidden light.

Not 5 feet from Adam, some shape stood over Adam, holding a long stick that resembled a javelin.
Fear shot through him with the speed of a bullet, ripping apart all hesitation to expose his power...hell he'd done it plenty of times already.

Blue energy sizzled instantly at the centre of him, and with a quick thrust of his hand, the blue electricity launched its self through the air, taking the shadow off its feet and back a few metres.

Shalimar spun around in time to see the shadowy man, and then see him ignited with blue light as he was flung backwards into the trees.

Relief flickered alive in her chest, but was sucked away as another figure came dashing out the bushes, running full speed at Brennan.
The feral in her tore to the surface like a drowning person, and the next thing Shalimar saw was the ground sink away from her, and then rush up to meet her as she landed heavily on the new attacker. Her fist made continuing impact with the unknown mans face, until she eventually felt him flop limp under her.

Emma sighed as she her self had been gripped with the devious hands of fear as the man had came rushing towards Brennan.
Another look towards the elemental confirmed he was struggling with some thing. Taking her chances, she crawled across to him on her belly, gripping his arm as he rolled over to her. She didn't need to instruct him as he quickly looked into her eyes for the strength that she could give.
Her eyes glazed out of existence for a split second, before she sent flowing images of calm and comfort to Brennan who was starting to squirm about.

He froze for a moment, his mind and body unsure on what to do next, before it gave in and relaxed into Emma's grip.

The grass not 5 feet away from Emma parted, making her jump. A gasp escaped her lips as soon as another boot collided mid centre of her stomach, catapulting her a few feet away from Brennan over towards where Shalimar had previously been crouching. Pain exploded in her torso and stomach as she landed hard and continued to roll. Faintly, she heard Brennan tousling with some one and Shalimar hard in battle, before Adam and Elayne came rushing over to meet her on the ground. Adam was quickly grabbing hold of her and lifting her up. The motion caused nausea that she didn't want at the moment, and she tried to push Adam off.

Elayne soothed her in the background, and then she was suddenly silenced as her head was grabbed by strange hands and thrown her body backwards... leaving Adam and Emma to watch in the shadows.

One moment, Elayne had been talking quietly to Emma with Adam; the next two huge hands had gripped her hair, and tossed her backwards. Her head made solid contact with the ground before she realised she was barely able to see as the attacker came at her again. She could do nothing to stop the attack she knew was coming, and cringed her eyes, waiting for it.

Brennan had been solidly attacking and defending against the unknown man before he sudden felt his legs shoot out from under him, crashing him to the ground. When he slammed into the ground, the impact knocked the breath out of him, before a sharp knife of some sort was jabbed at him. A quick roll stopped the knife from inserting its self into his heart, and he was up again. As quick as he was up, an arm had slithered around his neck, a small knife held in place making Brennan freeze. A small cruel laugh of victory behind him only churned his anger inside himself, but he remained still.

Brennan looked over at Shalimar, who wasn't doing that well considering these guys were appearing out of no where at all and taking sly shots at her.

Brennan grunted and scrunched his fists as he saw the last show take her off her feet, and some one stand with their boot on her chin to keep her down.

Adam watched in horror as the two older members of the team were taken down. Elayne lay still on the ground, and still some one was rushing towards her to take another blow to the fallen feral.

Adam only had a split second to recognise what had just happened as a bulky shadow pounced from the trees, taking the rushing attack backwards. There was a flash of panic from the previous attackers, before the shadows leapt out, taking each one out singularly as they ran for safety...none got far... none escaped.
