Note: Thanks so much for all the feedback. Sorry it took a while to get this one up, I wrote a Chapter 31, then read it, and I hated it, so I re-wrote it. And personally I like this one WAY better. So if you guys could continue to let me know what you think it would be very much appreciated and I'm just going to say that I am wicked pumped for the 24th. 12 more days! I also realized this story is almost 90,000 words...um...yikes and I'm only on Chapter 31...Sorry it's so short. Thanks for reading you guys are awesome! :)
** SORRY IF ANY OF THE DOCTOR STUFF IS INCORRECT FEEL FREE TO CORRECT ME!

Chapter 31
"So what's the plan?" Catherine asked.
Vincent sighed. "Well I don't really know if we can even do anything. Like JT said, what if it's not a black-out and it's just her DNA mutating?"
"What do you think?" Catherine asked looking over at Lafferty.
"Personally, I don't know what's going on with her, but I do believe she has answers. We just need to find a way to get them out of her without her trying to murder one of us."
Catherine nodded. "How are we going to do that?"
Vincent sighed. "Just have to wait I guess. We can't talk to her when she's out cold."
"How long do you think it will be before she wakes up?"
Vincent didn't take his eyes off Lafferty. "Not long."
Catherine slowly nodded. "I should probably get going. My sister should be home by now."
Vincent continued to look at Lafferty. "Okay."
"Let me know if anything happens." Catherine said standing up.
Vincent nodded and once she left he made his way over to the cage. He opened the door and knelt down beside her. "Lafferty," he whispered.
Lafferty groaned and her eye lids began to move.
"Lafferty?"
She slowly sat up and rubbed the back of her head. She looked over at Vincent with nothing but worry in her eyes. "We need to talk." she whispered.
"What happened?" Vincent asked.
Lafferty head slowly moved back until it hit the wall.
"Lafferty?" Vincent asked. "Lafferty?"
Lafferty's head didn't move and Vincent listened in on her pulse. Nothing.
He shot up onto his feet and ran over to JT's room forgetting to lock the cage behind him. He pounded on the door continuously until it opened. "JT!" Vincent yelled. "JT open up the door! JT please!"
JT opened the door and gave Vincent a confused look. "What the hell do you want?"
Before Vincent could answer he fell to the ground with Lafferty on top of him clawing at his side. Vincent lied motionless on the floor. JT took his foot and without thinking he kicked Lafferty in her side knocking her off Vincent. She quickly got to her feet and made her way over to JT who was hugging the wall trying to shield himself.
The Beast quickly got it's feet and threw Lafferty across the room and watched as she slid head-first into a concrete wall. The Beast walked over to her letting out small growls.
"Vincent." JT said causing the Beast to instantly turn it's head to his direction. "Vincent calm down, you said Lafferty's not breathing."
The Beast made his way closer and closer to JT coking its head side to side.
"Vincent." JT said holding out his hands in front of him. "Vincent stop."
The Beast stood still but continued to stare at JT.
"Vincent stop." JT said again.
Vincent tried with all his might to re-gain control.
"Vincent..." JT said taking small steps towards him.
The Beast slowly relaxed and Vincent managed to re-gain control.
"JT she's not breathing!" Vincent yelled making his way back towards Lafferty.
"W-Well does she have a pulse?!" JT asked following Vincent.
Vincent quickly listened for a pulse. "No nothing JT! She just stopped breathing!" Vincent quickly went on his knees next to his old friend. "Sh-She told me we needed to talk and then...and then she stopped breathing but she had a pulse and that's when I got you and she just attacked. But now she has nothing. No pulse, and she's not breathing."
JT noticed how heavly Vincent was breathing and saw his eyes shift colors. "Vincent man go calm down I'll take care of her."
Vincent put a hand up towards JT. "No I'm the doc-" Vincent took a deep breath and tried to relax himself. "I'm the doctor JT."
"Vincent there's not much you can do if she d-"
"Would you just shut up!?" Vincent snapped.
JT slowly got up and walked away giving Vincent some room.
"Lafferty please, just stay with me." Vincent pleaded.
"Vincent..." JT said in a calm voice.
Vincent turned towards JT. "What?" he spat.
"She's gone." JT said in a low tone.
Vincent quickly looked back at Lafferty and noticed her pale skin. He repeatedly shook his head back and forth. "No, no, no, no." he kept repeating under his breath. "No she can't just die JT!"
"It's too late Vincent. I'm sorry but she's gone."
He looked back at Lafferty and took slow, deep breaths. "No." he said as he stood up.
"Where are you going?" JT asked as Vincent threw on his jacket. "Vincent?" he asked watching him make his way back over to Lafferty.
Vincent picked Lafferty up and shifted her weight into a more comfortable position.
"Where the hell are you talking her?!" JT asked following Vincent.
"To a hospital." Vincent said.
"Are you insane? Vincent, Murifield will find her and then find you! They will do a freaking background check on her and see she has a death certificate! You can't just walk in there like some normal-"
"You think I haven't thought about that? You think I honestly would just walk into the hospital with another super-soilder any day of the year? You think I'm that stupid?! JT Lafferty will die if I don't do something!" Vincent snapped.
"She doesn't even have a pulse!" JT said.
Vincent looked down at Lafferty who laid life less in his arms. He listen for a pulse and JT was right. Nothing. "Well maybe we still have time. The power they gave us-"
"Vincent look, I know you care about her but she's gone man. I'm sorry." JT walked up to Vincent and placed a hand on his shoulder.
Vincent shook his head back and forth quickly. "No JT, you don't know what Murifield gave us she has a chance if she gets to a hospital-"
"Vincent listen to yourself! You're going to risk Lafferty's life if you bring her to the hospital. If in fact she does make it Murifield will just kill her, and you. Not to mention anyone who knows about it. Meaning me." JT paused. "and Catherine."
Vincent looked over at JT and then back at Lafferty who still had no pulse. "JT she knows something we have to get her to a hospital-"
"Vincent don't you get it? She has no pulse."
Vincent suddenly remembered something. "Get me the defibrillators." he said placing Lafferty down on the floor.
"We don't have those Vincent." JT said giving Vincent a weird look.
"Yes we do. They are under my bed." Vincent said pointing to the stairs.
"Under your-?"
"Yes JT they are under my bed. Look under there and you will see a red bag with a heart on it. Bring that to me." Vincent said looking back at Lafferty.
Without another question JT ran up the stairs and did what Vincent said. He found the medium sized red bag with a heart on it and raced back down the stairs. "Here." he said jogging over to Vincent.
Vincent quickly grabbed the bag and opened it up grabbing the AED. "Get me some scissors." Vincent said quickly.
JT passed him a pair of scissors and watched as Vincent cut her shirt into two haves exposing her chest. He grabbed the AED and put the two pads against her chest. He looked over at the analyzer and there was no sign of a heart beat. "Damn it." he said under his breath. He quickly gave Lafferty one shock and nothing happened. "Don't do this to me Lafferty." Vincent said under his breath. He began to give her CPR and gave her 30 compressions and 2 venalations. While waiting for two minutes to pass by to see if she would be okay he turned his head towards JT. "I think I killed her."
