Authors Notes: Toby is a nervous wreck! People, he can't stand up for himself. He can't make up his mind, like me. Due to a very harsh review which used strong language and made me feel very hurt, this chapter won't be as long and I will not be updating tomorrow. P.S. I like the idea Darkfire, very nice, might use that, I also like that Dark wolf in the night.

We're Not Your Lab Rats!

He was sore, the lash from the whip still stung, worse than a bee sting. He couldn't sleep. Maddy was resting beside him, her brown eyes closed, though she wasn't asleep, she was too scared to. She'd open her eyes every now and again checking, just checking to make sure Rhydian was ok, he'd smile as widely and convincing as he could. He didn't need Maddy worrying anymore than what she was already. He stroked her hair to try and soothe her, but it didn't work. They'd been allowed to stay together, but Rhydian hadn't been given any treatment for the wounds. "You would've thought it would've gotten better by now." Maddy mumbled noticing him shift slightly, her tired eyes opened slightly. It was obvious what she was referring to. No moon days. Which meant that Rhydian would be feeling sore all day, and to top that off they'd both feel worse more and more as the day went on, and to top it all off, Whitewood would want to run tests and experiments on them all day. The tests could be dangerous to normal humans... could even kill them. Rhydian pulled Maddy closer to him, wincing at the pain it caused him.

"Yeah well, I haven't had any treatment for it... so it might not be that... hopefully not anyway." Rhydian responded, keeping Maddy close. He stiffened as Maddy traced her finger along one of the scratches the whip had made on his back. The blood was fresh on Maddys finger as she brought it back into sight, she looked at Rhydian with worry in her eyes, "Ok, but maybe I-" he was cut off when Maddy wiped the blood off her finger onto her tracksuit bottoms and interrupted him.

"Rhydian, there's no point in lying to ourselves, I feel terrible and I bet you do too. We've just got to... to... ugh! I can't think." She groaned, it was no lie that Rhydian too felt terrible... and worse. Just at that moment the door opened and Whitewood walked in, with Toby not too far behind her, carrying her brief case and avoiding any eye contact with the two young teenagers both resting in their make shift cell. He didn't want to start believing that these monsters were harmless again, he'd made that mistake and almost had a heart attack. Whitewood turned the light on and it stung both their eyes, Maddy yawned, "Whitewood please. Not today." She groaned covering her eyes with her arm.

"Oh get up! Now my second experiment should be much more sucessful than the first, since the male is much weaker. Toby, blue syringe please." Whitewood summoned, the liquid inside was another clear colour the syringe itself had a blue sticker on it.

Maddy panicked, standing up, allowing Rhydians arms to flop lifelessly by her feet, "Wait. This information will help you Whitewood. I promise." Maddy told her sternly, she swallowed back her fear. Rhydian tried pulling at her trousers to get her to sit back down and to stop saying anything more, but Maddy shoved his hands away and gave him a promising look. She looked back up at Whitewood swiftly, "On the day that there is no moon, all traces of wolf leave a... a werewolf." Maddy struggled to use the term so fondly used, but explained all the same. Whitewood looked as though she didn't believe and was going to laugh at the ridiculous comment, "I-if you don't believe me, then you can take a blood test, I assure you though you'll only prove my point." Maddy announced, she stuttered at the start but regained her confidence as she went on.

Whitewood looked her up and down, as if she was different, new, strange, but it didn't matter to Maddy. "Alright then. Toby, the empty syringe please." Whitewood asked. Maddy sighed with relief, looking down briefly at Rhydian, who was fast asleep. She didn't look up in time to see Whitewood stab the needle into her arm and take a large quantity of blood, Maddy gasped, "This should be enough." Whitewood sneered pushing Maddy back to the ground.

"D-doctor W-Whitewood, w-will th-this h-he-help me?" Toby asked quietly, though Maddy felt dizzy she could only just make out the words, and it confused her, how would her blood, with or without traces of wolf in it, help him?

"Why would it help you?" Maddy asked, leaning her head against the wall, she only just heard Whitewood ordering Toby not to tell her. Maddy struggled to roll her eyes.

"Well it would seem Madeline, you were right, all traces of the wolf has vanished, but that does not make you human." Whitewood admitted, snapping as she saw the smug smile on Maddy's face, obviously annoyed that she had been proven wrong. Maddy rolled her eyes.

"I never said it did, but it makes me more human than you." Maddy mumbled, loud enough for Whitewood to hear, but without any energy, since she had none in her. Whitewood glared at Maddy before pushing Toby out of the room, leaving Maddy and Rhydian on their own. Maddy crawled lazily towards Rhydian and fell in exhaustion by his side, whispering to herself, "Well, at least we get a break to rest."

She turned on her side, watching Rhydian, and slowly falling back to sleep herself.

Meanwhile.

Whitewood pushed Toby along the corridors, "Do you feel weak? You don't look like they did... like your dead. Do you feel different in any way? Different from how you felt yesterday? Toby you need to answer me truthfully." She demanded, harshly shaking him slightly by the shoulders.

"R-Rebbeca, I-I'm f-f-fine. I-I don't fe-feel d-dif-different." He told her, it was the truth. It was a relief of sorts that he didn't feel tired, weak and didn't look like Maddy and Rhydian, it proved he wasn't entirely what she thought he was.

"Well, I suppose your fine then. But we can't be sure its started yet. We'll have to keep a close eye on you. You must inform me if anything strange begins to happen." Whitewood demanded before heading off for lunch.
