Chapter 3:The Escape

"Why?" the nurse asked, bewildered at this sudden announcement.

The doctor filled the syringe from a small dark bottle and said, "I have to give you an injection. But it will be given intravenously this time."

"No, I won't allow you to do that," replied Dawn grimacing at her. The air between was so brittle that Dawn could snap any moment.

"This has to be done because your family doctor has prescribed you the medicine. We are no one to interfere in this schedule. We have to do what he has written in your prescription.."

"No, you won't."

"Why are you being so stubborn? We are only treating you," the doctor said in a gruff tone. He stepped forward to roll Dawn's sleeves up, but she jerked his hand away. Cole sat up, confused as to why his sister was declining medication.

"Look, it is time for your medicine," insisted the doctor.

"Are you even a doctor?" asked Dawn, narrowing her eyes at him. "Because if you are, then show me your ID." Dawn was suspicious because she didn't see his usual I-card of a doctor nor was he wearing the customary scrubs of a doctor.

"I am not, but I am the male nurse and can give you the injection."

Her doubts rose further. "In that case, I won't allow you to touch me."

"Dawn," Cole tugged her hospital gown softly. "Take it."

"Nurse, hold her," the male nurse said through his gritted teeth.

The nurse came around and held Dawn's hand, but Dawn kicked the nurse with all the might from her left leg. The nurse flung to the ground and slid to the wall. She fainted, making Dawn shocked to find so much strength building in her body.

The male nurse lunged closer to Dawn and was about to force the injection in her.

Dawn's arm swung into a blow that came right between his lungs on xiphi sternum. It left the doctor on his knees, gasping for breath.

"If you come any closer, I am going to make it worse," Dawn said, stripping off her tubes. She turned to look at her brother, "Cole, where are my clothes?"

Cole was shocked to the core, watching his sister in action. Quivering, he pointed at the cupboard.

She picked a few things to pack in the only suitcase in the room. She was surprised to see a thick bundle of dollars in its pocket.

The man tried to stand again, but this time, Dawn pulled out the metal rod from the bed's side with which the bed was pulled up and down, and hit him on the back. The nurse winced in pain and slumped on the floor as every bit of oxygen left his lungs.

Dawn took the suitcase and looked outside the window. She saw the thin crescent of the moon hovering over the oak trees. The stars sparkled brightly as if teasing the moon of losing its brilliance to the sun. Far ahead in the distance was the ocean, whose waves crashed on the shores. Dawn couldn't make out where they were, but she saw a brightly lit road curving along the ocean's shoreline. She looked down and realized that she was on the fifth floor.

The siblings left the hospital room and walked to the nearest stairway. They exited the building from the rear.

"Dawn, where are we going?" asked Cole, wide eyed and still confused as hell. After all they had been pretty safe from a week in that room. Why was Dawn running away now?

"We need to get away as far as possible from here Cole."

"Why?"

"I have a hunch that the nurse and the doctor have heard about the reward our family has offered to find us."

"Then let us go back to our home," he argued.

"You don't understand," she said while strutting to the road hoping to find a lift. "Why would our family keep a reward on us? Why don't they already know of our condition?" The moon's rays helped soothe her body's temperature surprisingly. "Why did Father ask you to stay in the hospital and be with me? Did he know that he was about to get killed?"

"In that case, let us go to meet our Grandmother. She must be waiting for us."

"No!" Dawn shouted. "I want to avoid going anywhere near our family. Don't you understand? They want to kill us too."

"We were safe at the hospital," he whined while trying to keep pace with her.

"I have a hunch that the nurse and the man with her were about to give away our location to the family." Dawn stopped and so did Cole. "Please Cole, just trust me." She had to keep her brother safe. He was the rightful heir of the Wyatt Empire.

"Okay," he nodded, looking at his sister with his black eyes.

Dawn stroked his black hair, and they continued to walk to the road.

A few minutes later Dawn's vision was again becoming blurry. Her body was changing. She looked at her hand and almost suppressed a squeal when she noticed a claw jutting out. What was that? She was shocked as hell. Her eyes and mouth fell wide open at the transformation that was occurring in her body. She had listened about being bitten by werewolves in lore, but that was not real life. She closed her hand quickly, hoping that Cole hadn't seen her. Feeling her body temperature going up again, she dug her pockets and took out an Advil. She gulped down two of those.

When they reached the road, Dawn came to realize that it was actually a highway when she read the signs overhead. The highway smelled of fresh paint. She noticed that the walls on the sides were freshly painted yellow. It was black, stretching in both directions in two lanes.

Dawn had never come out unescorted in her life. She had at least two people who always accompanied her, and now when she saw the black highway with the cars zipping past by, she got scared. Her heart started to thump. She remembered the metal rod that she had kept inside her luggage. As the tires sailed over the charcoal black road, Dawn knew that it would be extremely difficult to get a hike.

The siblings waited for fifteen minutes on a sidewalk before a black Mercedes SUV with a small flag on its bonnet came and stopped in front of them. Dawn glanced nervously at the van, trying to make out who was there.

Its dark, tinted glass rolled down, and Dawn could make out a man behind the wheels. His face was covered in the shadow, and only his square jaw was visible in the streetlight that filtered through the front glass. Dawn gasped slightly.

"Um… mister?"
