Running because you want to... (Hybrid/Romance)

[Phoenix's Rebirth]

Areina sheathed her sword, removing her tranq gun from her pocket. Her expression was fierce, but calm. "Zoey, it's all right. I am just here to take you back to the blocking room. Alex is there now, and he will be fine within two weeks or so." She took a few steps toward the door. "Now you could come with me willingly back to your friends, or I could shoot you now. Your choice."

Zoey's eyes fell to the floor...Thinking. After a moment she looked up and turned back into her normal form and walked over to the door, for Areina to take her to the blocking room.

The third tiger jumped and sank his claws into Chaz's hindquarters. Max screeched, swooping to peck him in the face. Chaz crushed his skull with one blow from his hefty paw, and Max pecked out the eyes of a second tiger. The third was nowhere to be see, and they assumed he had run away. Max struck the blinded tiger with lightning, killing him instantly. Chaz turned to scan the area for the third tiger, while Max rested on the ground for a moment as a human. All of a sudden, Chaz heard a scream from behind him, and spun to see the third tiger with his teeth sunk into one of Max's legs. She pummeled his face with her fists, but she couldn't use her powers. His contact with her somehow stopped her from using them! Chaz prepared to strike him down, but the tiger-man just grinned. He held Max down with one huge paw, and said "If you kill me, you'll kill you sister as well." Chaz snarled and prepared to lunge at him, but Max said "Chaz! Run!" He shook his head. "I won't leave you!" "Don't worry about me! Get away from here!" The tiger snarled. "Shut up, girl!" But Max kept shouting. "Run, brother, but never forget me! Promise that you'll come back for- unghh!" The tiger had smacked her on the side of the head, leaving four deep slashes. Max passed out, and the tiger came towards Chaz. He was a human now, and he was holding a tranquilizer gun. "Come here, kitty, and let me put you to sleep!" he growled, and aimed at Chaz. The lion-boy ran, but he was crying. He whispered "I'll come back for you, Max! I promise I will!" The man laughed, threw the girl over his shoulder, and made his way to a little box lying on the ground. He took out some radio equipment and called back to Paradise-
"I captured the girl. Comrades dead. Boy on the run. Send transportation."

Re-pocketing her gun, Areina opened the door, gesturing to Zoey. "Come along then." Following Zoey, the two of them quietly made their way back to the blocking room. Areina watched Zoey's movement's carefully, but knew deep down that neither of them felt like fighting at the moment. Neither was the aggressor, and soon enough, Areina left Zoey in the room with Alex and Ellie. Fang was apparently being tested, probably Dr. Wilson's doing. Locking the door with a sigh, she again cradled her sword and walked back to her office.

Illana waited before calling Galen from under the bed. All was clear, and Ty was going to bring food. Smiling she asked, "Are you thirsty?"

Areina returned to her office and sat down. She was startled when a message suddenly came up. It was her special forces, or rather the last one alive. She pressed the button and called for a transportation unit. Now they had Miss Maxine, but her brother Charles had gotten away. But no worries, if we have her, he'll come to us . . .

The guard waited for about an hour before the vehicle arrived. He tossed the still-unconscious Max into the back of the truck and, laughing, began the drive back to Paradise.

Zoey followed Areina, her ears lyed back and she walked Areina carefully hoping that his wasn't a trap. When she made it back to the blocking room and saw that it wasn't a trap she walked in and looked over and saw Alex. He still looked asleep so she didn't wake him. She sighed and walked over to her bead and soon fell asleep as well.

"I don't think there's any need to go and check on them " He said nodding down the hall where he saw Areina taking Zoey to the blocking room. John started to walk down the hall and turned a few more courner arriving at the door of the blocking room. Opening it he saw Zoey asleep as well as Alex , his arm in a cast and Ellie was still out cold from the tranq Areina had given her. John let Fang in then closed the door behind him and walked away back to his office.

The armored transport vehicle pulled up to the barbed=wire gates of Paradise. The tiger-guard scanned his fingerprints, typed in the code, and drove into the building. Luckily, the girl Max was still out cold. He slung her over his shoulder and brought her to the blocking room, looking for Areina.

Fang sighed and then saw Zoey head back to the blocking room, Good, she is ok. He thought. When they came to the blocking room, Fang sighed and walked in. He didn't want to be in here, he hated being in here and wanted out.

Areina heard that her last special operative had arrived with Maxine. She waited patiently for him in her office. Twirling her sword in her hands again, she smiled faintly. It may have cost us, but at least we have one of them. With such hybrids on the loose, Paradise and everything her father had worked for would be ruined; therefore they had to either be detained, or trained and controlled.

A few hours later, Alex woke up, his left arm in immense pain. He couldn't move it either. Alex tried to sit up, but the extreme dizziness nearly made him pass out. He glanced down at his arm; it was in a cast and placed in a sling. What happened?
