Authors Notes: So... I've got a plan, and this is it. Sorry though, it doesn't have any murder... yet.
We're Not Your Lab Rats!
"Ceri! Stop!" Jana ordered as the transformation began to get dangerous. But Ceri didn't listen, she didn't want to listen, she allowed the transformation to continue. In the mean time Rhydian, Shannon and Tom had all run over to Maddy. There was a lot of blood now, and a short, but deep cut on Maddy's upper stomach where Whitewood had begun cutting was the cause pf this much blood. "Think about it, Ceri! If you do this, you'll never be able to see Rhydian again. They'd send you away for murder. They'll start testing you... and our secret will be revealed." Jana tried to reason with Ceri. The thought of something like that happening snapped in Ceri's mind, like a twig breaking the peaceful silence. But as she looked down at Whitewood, with a tear stained face and silent sobs shaking her entire body, something else snapped inside of her. This woman could've murdered either one of Rhydian or Maddy, and nobody would care, because she was 'needed'. Her veins had gone back to the normal colour, but when the thought dawned on her she couldn't help but allow her anger to take control. "Ceri!" Jana shouted in anger and frustration that the woman didn't listen.
Ceri's head turned swiftly to look at Jana with her pale yellow eyes, "She could've killed my beautiful boy! I will not make the mistake of allowing that to be possible again!" Ceri growled. She was still watching Jana and the others whilst Whitewood reached for something that might help her get this over-protective mother off of her. And as her fingers curled around the item, she brought it down on Ceri with force.
Her eyes fluttered shut, she'd let out a small growl and whimper of pain as she felt the object hit her, but everything started spinning and she fell to the side of Whitewood, limply. Rhydian saw from acroos the room, at the other side of Maddy, he looked between Whitewood, who was trying to control her breathing, his mum who was lying on the floor unconcious, and Jana who with a quick nod began to make her orders, in a silent only audible to Wolfblood ears sound, "We need to get Ceri out of here, away from Whitewood, like now. The others will look after Maddy, but our priority," she motioned between herself, Emma and Dan, "is to get Ceri away from the pshyco."
"What about Toby?" Rhydian asked, turning his head to see Toby, lying still – only sign of life being his chest gently rising and falling – "We need to get him out of here too." Rhydian added.
"What? Why? He works with Whitewood." Jana asked in a slightly louder, shocked voice.
"Trust me, he never wanted to be, you don't know his story like me and Maddy do." Rhydian explained as Tom did his best stitch-work on Maddy's wound. Jana nodded, turned back round to Emma and Dan as Rhydian urged Tom to go quicker. Soon after the stitches were complete, and Rhydian gracefully picked up Maddy, he turned to Tom and Shannon, "Get him." He told them, using his head to inform them who he meant.
"But-" Shannon began, but the look Rhydian gave her stopped her, she heaved a large bretah as Rhydian carefully made his way out of the operating theatre, with Maddy in his arms. Whitewood had fallen asleep, probably tired from all the fighting and tackling Ceri.
He stopped next to Emma and Dan, as Maddy's mum took ahold of his upper arm and whispered to him, "Go somewhere, as far away from here as possible. But stay safe." She pleaded with him, letting go of his arm and watching as her daughter was carried carefully in his arms. Her words rung in his head, like a warning, telling him he'd forgotten something, but he kept his mind focused on getting out of this hell hole, away from what had happened here, with Tom and Shannon carrying Toby close behind him.
They exited the building, the coldness from the hard ground shocked Rhydian as he felt it under his feet, Rhydian cursed the season under his breath as he began to walk towards the woods which he hoped wasn't far. "Rhydian!" Shannon called out from behind, with one of Toby's arms wrapped around her neck, whilst his other limp arm was being supported by Tom.
"So, whats the plan, mate?" Tom asked in a grunt, obviously Toby's size causing him to struggle with keeping up with Rhydian.
"Simple, get away from Whitewood." Rhydian told them, his focus on everything that was going on in front of him, people looked at hiim strangely, they looked at his appearance, it made him wonder what it was they saw. Did they just see a teenage boy – without any shoes or socks – carrying a sleeping girl, with two other teenagers behind him carrying a sleeping man, and him saying that they needed to get away from Whitewood didn't help, as they gained more and more strange looks.
Tom nodded, agreeing with the plan, believing it was exactly that... simple, "Yeah, its simple, but how we going to do that? She could wake up at any moment, and there is no doubt in my mind that she will hunt us down." Tom told Rhydian, using the term 'hunt' loosely.
Then it hit Rhydian, he looked down at Maddy, sleeping against his chest. They both had tracking devices, which would make it ten times easier for Whitewood. He groaned running a bit faster towards the edge of the city centre and to the outskirts of the woods. They stopped when they reached the fence that cut off the road from the woods, Rhydian turned to Shannon and Tom, "You have to go, take Toby somewhere else, but me and Maddy have to keep going." Rhydian told them, he didn't want to explain more, but there was no doubt he had to, what with it being Tom and Shannon.
"Why?" They both asked in unison, frowning at the sudden urgent request.
"Because Whitewood put tracking devices on me and Maddy, there isn't one on Toby, and I'm pretty sure Maddy would skin me alive if I allowed you to 'come along and help us'. So please, just go somewhere, other than the woods. Because Whitewood will test you, like she tried to Toby. Testing a human... or two, who are willing, with a... 'a monster'." Rhydian told them, before smiling and waiting for a nod from both Tom and Shannon, confirming to do as he asks.
They nod, though reluctant. Rhydian smiles, mouthing a thank you, before rushing off into the woods, though being careful, what with having no shoes on and Maddy in his arms.
Tom and Shannon looked at each other, smiling weakly, before Toms witty remark, "Well, there goes Maddian again."
They both give a quick laugh, but its weak, and only just forced. The mood in the atmosphere changes, as the clouds that cover the sky become grey and gloomy, making everything else that wasn't miserable, seem miserable. Toby begins to stir.
Authors Notes: It was kind of just a filler chapter, I had the thought in my mind, but I wanted to see what everyone else thought I should do. Maybe later on I will kill Whitewood, but it won't be who you think, take a guess, who will it be?
In the mean time, however... I hope you enjoyed, and thank you all so much for you wonderful reviews.
