Where the bloody hell am I?'
Those were the words Scot Mcarthur repeated in his head as he slowly surveyed his new surroundings. He was definitely in a forest; he could hear birds chirping and could actually see several fly by overhead.
He tried to stand, but was immediately hit by an intense pain in his chest that knocked him back down again. Eventually, he settled for crawling near a tree and sitting against it while he waited for the pain to dissipate. As he did so, he tried to recall what had happened to him.
'Alright mate, think. What was the last thing you remember?'
He searched his brain hard for that lost memory. He remembered crashing on a wall in immense pain. He remembered a feeling of helplessness as he felt something grab him by the neck. He remembered the face of…
His eyes widened in realization.
James Heller!
It all came back to him now: Facing Heller, getting the whole team killed, getting beat the shit out of, using C4, dying from the explosion, and worst of all, the feeling that he would never see his brother again.
As Scot finished processing his thoughts one thing kept bugging him. 'How the bloody hell did I end up here?'
Deciding to think about that later, he tried to stand up once again. He did much better this time, the pain having lessened greatly. As he stood to his full height, his military training began to kick in. First rule of finding yourself in unknown territory: get a feel for your surroundings.
A loud rumble quickly spread throughout the forest where Scot was. Looking down, he quickly patted his stomach. Now having a second objective: find food and water.
Checking his equipment, Scot concluded that he somehow lost his rifle, grenades, C4's, radio, and stun grenades. The only things he didn't lost was his trusty 7-inch Army Blade, Glock 18, and 4 magazines that each have 20 bullets.
Sighing, Scot holstered his pistol and sheathed his knife. Looking around once more, Scot finally decided that he'd rather climb a tree for reconnaissance than going straight up a bloody mountain. Though, he still needs to find the perfect tree for the job. Thus, he started searching for one.
~TIME BREAK~
Scot have now found a tall tree and quickly climbed on it. Though, he had difficulty in doing so by his clothes and armor getting stuck in-between twigs and branches. Once getting past the leaves, and the bloody birds and their bloody nests, Scot settled down on top of a branch to rest.
After that brief rest, he quickly resumed in climbing. But suddenly, one of the branches he was stepping on, gave away with a loud crack. Eyes widening, Scot's mind went into panic as his grip slipped and started descending from the tree.
Though halfway down, instead of falling back-first, Scot found himself falling feet-first. He tried to know on how he flipped his whole body while falling down, but his panicking mind didn't cooperated with him.
As he landed, instead of having broken bones and broken legs, Scot instead made a large crater.
Scot was in shock, though not for long. A wolf sprung from one the bushes and immediately bit Scot in his left wrist. Screaming in pain, Scot took out his knife and repeatedly stabbed the wolf. The wolf in turn growled and tightened its bite on him.
It didn't took long for the wolf to die, releasing Scot's wrist as it slumped down on the ground. Scot thought it was all over, but how wrong he was. Tendrils shot out of Scot's back and stabbed onto the wolf's dead body. The tendrils quickly did their thing and consumed the wolf.
As Scot finished consuming, he clutched his head and grunted in pain as something inside of him started changing. It didn't took long for the pain to disappear, leaving Scot there in the crater, wheezing lightly as one thought came into his mind;
'What's happenin' to me?'
Though, his little moment was interrupted as more wolves came out of the bushes and quickly surrounded Scot. Looking around, Scot knew what they wanted, food and vengeance for their fallen comrade. Standing up, he gripped his knife tightly and went into a battle stance. A loud howl was heard and a large Black Wolf walked up to Scot, the other wolves either moved or backed away from the large furry creature.
Seeing their reactions, Scot didn't needed to be a scientist to know that this one was the alpha. Growling, he slowly lowered his stance. The alpha in turn, took this as a sign of challenge as he growled back and took a stance of his own. The two then slowly circled each other, not breaking eye contact.
It didn't took long for the Alpha to make the first move. He lunged to Scot at incredible speed, faster than a normal eye could follow. But Scot's instinct kicked in, both his military training and his new-found-one.
Scot's arm shot up and landed on the wolf's little, furry neck. Now having a leverage, Scot used the Alpha's momentum and pummeled him to the ground, a satisfying crater forming around the two combatants. But it was far from being over, IT still needed it. IT alone, craved for it.
Like a flick of a switch, Scot's body felt like it went into auto-pilot and started beating the crap out of the Alpha Wolf. Fur, flesh, blood and bones went flying as Scot still continued his assault. Tendrils shot out from Scot's back plunged themselves onto the dying wolf, consuming everything the furry creature had to offer.
As Scot finished consuming, he grunted as tendrils surrounded his body and started changing it. In a strong shockwave, the tendrils stopped and disappeared, merging itself back on Scot. However, Scot's clothing was now different. His outfit felt stronger, lighter, and better. Though, as much as he liked to inspect his armor some more, he had some more important manners to take care of.
Looking around, he still found himself surrounded and outnumbered by wolves. Sighing, Scot flexed his right arm. "Alright, let's get started." He said as his arm got covered by tendrils. But as quick as it came, it was already gone.
The wolves, however, weren't intimidated by this human. Not even if he killed their leader, they will kill this creature and get their vengeance. And in a blink of an eye, the wolves leapt towards Scot, eyes glowing and mouths opened.
As much as Scot wanted to turn around and run away, he couldn't. His body wasn't responding to his commands. It felt like his body had a mind of its own. And even if he could, he wouldn't even get far if this many wolves are hunting him down.
In one fluid motion, Scot rosed his right leg and brought it back down onto the hard earth. The wolves, in turn, got blown away from the shockwave.
'This power. Am I... infected?'
Scot practically asked himself, afraid of the answer itself.
Loud growls emitted around him, as the wolves before surrounded him one more time, and more pissed. But, their numbers grew as more wolves came out of the bushes and next to the others.
'Bloody hell.'
At this point, a normal person would've turned around and bolted away. A normal person would, but that doesn't fall in Scot's case anymore.
'If I'm infected,' Looking down at his hands, his choice was now finally made. 'Then I'll make the best of it.' Balling into a fist, Scot went into another fighting stance.
"Come get some!"
And with that, the wolves leapt towards their prey, determined into killing Scot and avenging one of their own slaughtered kin. But before a single can land on Scot, he had one final thing in his mind.
'Wrong move.'

{A/N: Hey there, readers! It's me again, ZWORZT! Listen (Or in your case, read), I'm terribly sorry for not doing what I promised and not updating this for a very long time. My reason for that, is because I accidentaly logged out this account. And being the idiotic person that I am, I forgot the password. It caused a lot of hassle for me to try and get this back on Fanfiction. But now that I'm back, it's safe to say that I will now do what I promised and update this story.
