TESTED

Shaye

"Let me tell you the first thing you did wrong."

Paige and Shaye were sitting down, and Paige had started interrogating him. "You see this?" He asked, and motioned toward the monitors on the wall. "We can see everything you have been observing. The kids, the false witch, and the little girl. So why, when we told you everything was secret, and that you only needed to know what we gave you, why did you start watching over this building?"

Shaye didn't reply. He stared at the man, making the next few seconds very uncomfortable.

"How can you see what's inside my mind?" Shaye asked, and his tone was different. He sounded angry. "Who gave you this power?"

Paige blinked at the question, and smiled. "We have other mages besides you."

Shaye stood up abruptly, and the lights in his eyes returned. "I'm probably about to die," He thought, and clenched his fists. "I've been expecting this. I was dead when they found me anyways, this was just a second chance. And I failed."

"Whoa, calm down. That's not the reason your here." Paige tried to reassure him, but it wasn't working. "Listen, I'm just trying to warn you. The next time... And neither of us will escape this."

That made Shaye stop and think. "Your trapped too?" Dr.Paige nodded. "If you're not vampire, you're basically a servant. Did they capture you too?"

"Yea, I was captured, but I bargained for my life. I told them I could be useful, and thanks to my ability, I was spared. For this long, at least."

Paige looked at the cameras, and put his head down. "Look, just don't watch over this building anymore. I'm not the one that's doing all of this, I'm just the one making sure that you don't find out the wrong information."

He raised his hand, and Shaye shook it. "Okay." Shaye conceded. "It's that all? I'd like to go home."

Dr.Paige shook his head. "No. The real reason is the monitor in the left corner." Shaye looked at it, but the screen was blank."What about it? It's not showing anything."

Dr.Paige looked guilty. "You're not the only one with that type of magic."

He pressed a button on a remote, and the TV turned on. It showed a room that looked like a laboratory, and he instantly noticed the girl strapped to a bizarre examination table.

"What is this?!" He exclaimed. Those vampires that kidnapped her, they were working for us? Why is she strapped up to that thing?!!"

Instead of answering, Dr.Paige punched him in the face. Caught off guard, Shaye fell backwards. "I told you, if you learn what you aren't supposed to, we both might be killed!" Shaye jumped up, his bottom lip bleeding, breathing hard. The tiny balls of light came out his eyes, and moved towards Dr.Paige. They came so far out of his head that the true color of his eyes were visible. They weren't normal, they were a really light bluish, and they glowed. It was probably because he was using his powers, because his eyes were black earlier. "I will make you so old the bones in your ribcage will break when you cough." Shaye said, trembling with anger. I will revert you back to the times when you still pissed on yourself. Don't ever touch me."

Dr.Paige didn't exactly raise his hands and surrender, but he did step back a bit.

"You wanted to learn something right? Now's the time." He pressed another button, and every monitor except the one with the girl. He c another, and all of the screens filled up with the footage of the girl. "Is this a live stream of her"

Dr.Paige looked at him, then he turned back towards the screen. "We are seeing this from the eyes of Gabriel. Or the mind of Gabriel, however your magic works."

As Shaye looked on, he felt a twinge of sympathy, and guilt. "Is she hurting?" He asked, hoping for reassurance.

"No, and that's the amazing thing!" Dr.Paige was smiling, looking overjoyed. "This girl-"

"Danielle," Shaye corrected.

"Yes, of course, Danielle." Dr.Paige spoke with urgency. "Those three weeks are powerful, you know this. You should also know that they are so powerful, that what makes them werewolves, the curse, the moon, their blood, it is so potent that they can't control it. Their abilities leak out, and this is why they need to be killed."

"I already know this. The bats mentioned it during their last encounter with the big three, when they captured her."

Shaye pointed to the monitors that showcased a sleeping Danielle.

"Good," said Dr.Paige. But do you know what it has done to her? She has a healing factor, super strength, and amazing speed. She could keep up with one of the vampires, and kicked their ass in the process."

"I'm certain she already did, the only reason she got captured was because they snuck up on her." Shaye added.

"Wow... well as you know, the vampires completely hate werewolves, and have been trying to eradicate them for the last 26 years."

Shaye's eyes widened. "So they're going to kill her?!" He exclaimed.

Dr.Paige's eyes gleamed. "If that were the case, she would've been killed instead of captured. She's been brought here, because she managed to get work powers without transforming... Yet. So, what better to use against werewolves than a hybrid with both of their powers?"

Jamie

Just like the hotel guy, the cashier lady had also become a werewolf. Or at least, some bizarre, magical half form of it. Her big wolf form was about as big as the hotel guy's, but she had less rage, and less strength. Maybe it was because the mall was normally so empty she didn't have alot of stress.

I guess the hotel guy got tired of dumb tourists and snapped. Regardless of this, she still caused alot of damage in the mall. We managed to limit the damage to the store she worked on, but it didn't matter. Before we erased his memory, of the altercation, we overheard him say that the mall was closing down a month from now anyways.

Still though, there were a couple dozen people that were in the mall when the cashier transformed. The only one that got injured was the person that was at the register. He was a teenager, but luckily he hadn't been scratched, he just got thrown. He passed out after hitting a wall, but his injuries were not severe.

To stop the cashier, we cornered her in the shop she worked in, which was hard. She ran around like crazy, dodging us and destroying property.

We didn't use our wolf form because we didn't need to. She acted more like an agitated dog than a savage werewolf. I swung hard into the side of her face, and she flew into the wall. Don picked her up and slammed her, making sure she was unconscious.

Making his human fingers turn into wolfish claws, Don reached for her neck and ended the struggle.

Marissa, who had only been watching, moved forward and bent down to view the girl's face as her body shifted back to human. "Jay, promise me you didn't Mesmer or get close to anybody else." She straitened the girls legs and folded her arms together. The girls eyes were already closed, and her neck was bleeding profusely from where Don had ripped it open.

"I didn't get close to anyone else, I'm positive I didn't," I told her as Donovan moved forward and started kicking the girl.

Marissa punched him in his arm and started holding him back. "What is your problem?" She growled.

"E-vi-dence," he enunciated. "Why would you make it look like she's peacefully resting? Police will show up. Anybody who was here will believe that a feral dog was set loose, and that's what they'll tell the police. Don't complicate things by raising eyebrows."

She stopped fighting, and bit her lip.

"You're right." She said, "But we need to get out of here." The police sirens sounded close by. As we walked outside, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. I stopped abruptly, and since I was in front, they bumped into me.

"Hey, dude, damn. Walk up." Donovan complained.

"What's wrong?" Marissa asked.

I looked up at the starry night sky. "The moon is full." I stated, without looking at either them.

"So?" Donovan replied.

"The real full moon was five days ago."

"What makes you so sure this isn't real?"

I opened my mouth to speak, and shut it. I refuse to argue with stupid people.

Marissa stepped in though."If this full moon was real, we'd be compelled to change. No thoughts or ways to fight against it."

Donovan thought about this for two minutes while we continued to walk in silence.

What if we're getting stronger, and the moon doesn't affect us anymore? Think about it, Axel said our aura was so powerful that it's causing these people close to us to turn into werewolves."

"I don't think those are connected." Marissa answered. "I mean, you turned Allen and somehow, he kicked your ass, but we took down the people Jamie turned easy as pie."

That made Donovan's blood boil. "I am sick of you and-"

"Quit it, both of you." I chided. I kinda wished Marissa never imprinted on Allen. We weren't exact close before we met him, and we didn't even know each other that long before we got attacked and captured, but we were still a good team. Now, they mentally block each other and refuse to communicate. It kind of makes me wonder, what will happen when we finally find Allen, and what will it do to Marissa and Don?

Shaye

"I don't understand why you'd show me this, when you said I shouldn't learn to much."

Dr.Paige rubbed his hand across his face, and started stroking his beard. "You aren't supposed to learn information that can't help you, but this is right up your alley. This right here," he tapped the screen of one of the monitors that was showing Danielle. "This is your area of expertise."

"Why was she closed off to me after she got kidnapped? Why couldn't I see her? Shaye urged.

At that moment, Dr.Paige's phone rang.

"One second." he requested. "Hello, who am I speaking to?"

"This is Butch, Stine, and Rickman. We are ready to begin the production."

"Excellent, excellent." Paige complimented.

"Is everything set up on your end, Mr.Paige?"

"It's Dr.Paige, and my side is almost ready. Go ahead and enter the room she's being contained."

"I didn't see a door open, but six people walked into view. Four of them had on labcoats, the other three had on a grey, a navy blue, and a black suit. Each one had earpieces, and they surrounded Danielle, almost completely blocking her from view.

"What are they doing?" I asked curiously.

"We've been watching her actions and letting the werewolf stuff progress. Now, they are going to inject her with vampire venom."

"What? All of them are vampires right? Why don't they just bite her?" Dr.Paige took his eyes off the screen. "Werewolves and vampires are normally deadly to each other. No vampire would stuck a werewolf's blood unless they were fighting for their life."

I saw two of the people in the labcoats pull out syringes. They were filled with a shiny, metallic looking liquid. They injected them into each of her arms, and both of her arms started to twitch after they were injected with the liquid. Then, the man in navy blue pulled out a syringe with a very dark red in it, and the man in grey pulled out a syringe with a milky looking liquid.

"Vampires' blood, and vampire venom. Dr.Paige clarified. Danielle started whimpering, then growling. Her face twisted from blissful sleep to horrible pain. She started screaming, and one by one, the suits and labcoats walked out. Her screaming grew so loud that we had to cover our ears. Armed guards came in, covered in armor, with their guns trained on her.

"This is why you're here!" Dr.Paige shouted over her screams of agony. "They need you to watch over this!" The glass on the camera cracked, and the fractures showed on the monitors.

Then she screamed even louder, making the armed guards drop their weapons and fall to theirs knees. Next thing I knew, all the screens went black, and we heard nothing.

"What? No, no no no no!" Dr.Paige screamed, banging the remote on the table. He stood up and punched one of the monitors, destroying it completely, causing sparks and smoke to appear.

That's when she broke my mind. The screaming started back, but it was inside our heads. The screens stayed off. Dr.Paige and I both dropped to our knees, clutching our ears. I started to feel something trickling down my nose. When I stared at the floor, I saw that my nose was bleeding.

"WHERE IS SHE?" I roared over the madness.

"IS SHE CLOSE TO US?!"

The doctor was too busy writhing in pain, so he either didn't hear me, or he couldn't speak. I crawled over to him, and when I reached out to grab him, I noticed my hand were cover with blood too. My ears were bleeding.

I still grabbed him by his shirt, and forced him to look at me.

His voice had been reduced to a whisper, so I couldn't hear him, I had to read his lips.

"Not close." He mouthed. "Thousands of miles away."
