Authors Notes: This might become sad at the end... ok so remember Toby said he used to have a girlfriend, well we going to meet her.
We're Not Your Lab Rats!
He groaned, and moaned as his eyes slowly opened to the new scene around him, and he was in shock. "Where... Where am I?" he asked, who did he ask, himself? Well he didn't see anyone else in front of him, but he didn't really check behind. He felt someone approach him from behind, but he became nervous when the ruffling of leaves came closer to him, why was he lying on the ground in the middle of the woods? Finally, he gave up with being 'scared' of whatever was behind him and swung his head round to face two young teenagers walking towards him, "Who are you?" he asked them, no longer scared, they didn't look threatening, just a little upset but not... wait, where was Maddy? The last thing he remembered was being in that room with Maddy, and Whitewood was going to do her big experiment on them, then blank.
"Maddy and Rhydians friends, I'm Shannon, he's Tom." The girl told him, they both had their arms folded in an annoyed manor, but their facial expressions was the opposite of annoyed, or angry, they looked worried.
"Where are they... Shannon? Rhydian and Maddy, where are they?" he asked, concern filling his voice. Then Tom tutted as if it was a ridiculous question to ask, like the answer was right in front of him, staring him right in the face. Shannon immediatly turned around giving Tom the death glare, sighing Tom turned around and began to walk in a different direction, "Shannon? What's going on where are they?" Toby asked the younger girl, slightly more worried.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine. You can go home now, be with your family." Shannon simply told him, she began to follow Tom, when she swiftly turned around and her tone suddenly changed from calm to aggressive, "You have no idea what Whitewood would do to them. Your lucky, you was just the human, but them... no, they would've suffered so much more. So just think yourself lucky your not them." She was upset, not angry, and Toby understood that. Instead of making the argument biggger, Toby left. Almost silently, so that as Shannon turned she was in slight shock to see that he had listened to her, "Oh, thanks for wanting to help." She muttered.
As he ran he felt free, but he wasn't even sure if he knew what the meaning of that word was. He wasn't free, since there were laws to follow, and inside he kept feeling that large pang of guilt. If it wasn't for you, you coward, maybe Maddy and Rhydian could be free too. The voice inside his head kept on repeating it to him, every time making it sound worse.
Suddenly the straight path he was running down ended, with two oter paths leading from it. He had a choice now, left or right. His head was telling him to go back, to be a man and help Rhydian and Maddy, but his heart was pleading for him to go right, go towards her, go towards Jessica.
His heart won.
He missed seeing her smile, hearing her laugh, feeling her warm lips against his own, but overall the minor little details he missed her. Just her being near was enough to send him over the edge, with love and devotion. But when the 'werewolf' theory Whitewood had scared him, he let her go, to protect her. She looked a lot like Maddy, only she was taller and had beautiful blue eyes. He just hoped those same blue eyes still recognised him, or Whitewood would pay. The closer he walked towards where Jessica lived the more eager he became, and any thoughts of going back, of helping his supernatural friends vanished like water vapor.
Just a glimpse of her, was all he needed for him to be rushing towards her with goofiest grin on his face. As he got closer he slowed... who on earth was that? The tall blonde guy who wrapped his arm around Jessica's waist like he owned her... it was the same way Toby used to wrap his arm around her, but only this guy immediatly went in for a... kiss!
Toby's blood boiled. How dare this guy touch Jess. Toby hadn't been away for too long, only a few months, and heck they'd been away from each other for longer than that before.
As their lips touched Toby's heart broke. But she'd caught a glimpse of him before he turned to help his friends. Her eyes widened, and the bloke she was with was pushed away with a gentle force, and only a slight hint of hurt in his eyes, but he too looked back, and saw what she was looking at.
"Toby?" her quiet, surprised voice called. He stopped as he heard his name.
Slowly he turned round. A weak, heartbroken smile was on his face, "Hey, Jess." He simple responded. Leaving the man, she slowly made her way over, her mouth slightly open in shock and disbelief. He looked down at his shoes, she was probably going to make up something like 'he's just a friend' or 'Its not what you think.' But Toby knew what he saw, and it hurt.
"Is that... really you?" she asked, her voice broke inbetween, Toby continued to look at his shoes smiling slightly. Then he tilted his head up, continuing to smile and he nodded. She gasped, covering her mouth with her gloved hand, tears filled her eyes. She pursed her lips together as she took away the red covered hand, "I was told... that you were dead." She said in a whisper, her voice breaking once again. She started to walk towards him, but he just looked away, then back at the other man. Jess followed his gaze, sighing, turning back to him with a new expression, "I thought you was dead." She told him more sternly hoping he'd understand.
"So you moved on, just like that." He raised his voice. She flinched, but looked away as to not show Toby he'd frightened her. He looked away too, before looking up at the sky and back down at her, "I loved you." He told her.
"Yeah, well why did you leave me!" she shouted, with tears streaming down her face like her own little waterfall. Toby's attention was snapped back at her from where he was looking before, "One minute, I was in a relationship, the next I find out that your leaving me, and then only a few weeks later, some woman is knocking on my door telling me, your dead!" she explains to him.
"Wait, wait, wait. Some woman told you I was dead?" He asked in disbelief. Whitewood, told her?
So not only had Whitewood lied about Toby being a Wolfblood, but she'd lied to Jessica, claiming that he was dead.
"Yes! So I moved on. Maybe you should too." She told him, with tears still streaming. Toby felt his whole entire world crash down around him. Like someone had just stabbed him ruthlessly, and kept on doing so, as she walked away, he let her go... again.
Oh boy that woman was going to pay for that.
But that wasn't the half of it. Ceri had woken up, she'd been dragged, or carried out of the lab and was now using eolas, secretly, to see what Whitewood was doing. She was awake, she looked around the room, taking a long look at where Maddy and Toby had once been, before muttering to herself, "Sneaky, but you forget, I know your every move." And with that, she pulled out a device with two bleeping red lights, and smirked, "Gotcha." She whispered.
Ceri also smirked, "No you don't." She whispered. Standing upright as she heard Jana, Dan and Emma approach.
