The Facility

Amari Pov:

Staring determinedly at Daniel I quickly head towards their shop, not even having to look behind me I could hear both Mourning and Daniel following behind me at a quick pace. Slamming the door open I go straight to Dapples room on the second floor. Slamming the door open I quickly move over to him as I remove his shirt looking at the wound." 3 bullets wounds, 2 still lodged in his muscle, the 3rd exited his body"

Amari: Daniel get me your medical kit, I pray u don't wake up Dapple.

Glancing to the door when Daniel comes in, I grab the supplies from him quickly grabbing the anaesthetic and quickly injecting it in the area of the wound. Throwing it back into the kit I grab the small scissors before inserting it into the first hole, I was in luck the bullet didn't go far and was only a few centimetres from the entry point. Quickly removing it I throw it into the glass nearby before I insert the scissors into the second point, pushing them nearly to the handles I sigh in relief when I finally grab the bullet, slowly pulling it out I throw both the scissors and the bullet into the glass as I clean away the blood from the wound. Picking up the needle I carefully thread the string through it before I start stitching up the holes.

Amari: Mourning I need you to carefully roll him onto his side, I need to get to his back.

Moving slightly from Dapple I let Mourning move Dapple before I quickly stitch his back, pushing him onto his back, I grab the bandages before I wrap his stomach in them. Sighing I move towards the bathroom before I wash my hands of Dapples blood, drying them I come out seeing the supplies already packed away while the glass sat on the table. Taking the glass in hand I run water into it cleaning the bullets as I walk out the room closing it while I turn to Daniel who stood at the top of the stairs.

Amari: I want the full explanation ok, don't leave anything out also Dapple will be fine now, he's steady but he will be in some pain when he wakes up just give him painkillers.

Daniel: Thank u, Amari-

Mourning: Where is Shadow, Ooman, He is not in your basement or the spare rooms?

Daniel: You both aren't gonna like this, but u remember those vans Dapple saw, well it turns out they knew we had Shadow. Shadow had gotten sick of been stuck in the dark basement so he demanded to go hunting with us, but we aren't hunters so Dapple and I just went with him to watch. He left everything here expect his armour. So we were walking the hunter path, you know the 13th path, we came to this clearing and Shadow said he saw heat signatures all around us. We were ambushed, they took Shadow down with a whole load of sleep darts, like the sleep darts they use for elephants in Africa. They shot Dapple because he ran to help Shadow, I was able to carry Dapple away while running but I saw them loading him into a truck and heading for the Mountains.

Amari: Alright show us the way Daniel, we need to know what we are up against.

Daniel: Fine let's go...Hey, where is your Hunter?

Turning around I was surprised to find him nowhere in sight, walking down the stairs I catch a glimpse of him when he comes up from the basement. Turning to face him I look at him questionably.

Amari: Why were you in the basement Mourning? Nevermind we are heading to route 13, I know you will be joining us.

Daniel: Let's go u two, I don't want to be caught there in the middle of the night or an unexpected snowstorm!

Nodding I walk out the shop as I glance seeing Mourning go invisible before following us, looking towards the end of the town I smile seeing Nutmeg waiting there for me. Chuckling I walk over to her as I think before I whistle to Daniel.

Daniel: What is it Amari, we need to get moving.

Amari: Let's take Nutmeg she will be faster than us climbing on foot.

Hearing Daniel grumble I chuckle before I get on offering him a hand as he gets on behind me.

Amari: Hold on tight ok she moves fast when she gallops.

Feelings his hold around my waist tighten I chuckle before I flick the reins, getting Nutmeg to start in a fast gallop as I see Mourning following us by the trees. Each time I see him jump through those trees I'm amazed at how skilful he truly is. Shaking my head I head in the direction of route 13.

Galloping for 6 minutes straight we finally come to the start of route 13, hopping off of Nutmeg I help Daniel off as I leave Nutmeg to graze on the grass. Walking up the path, I hear the thud of Mourning's landing as I glance to him before I continue up the path. Coming to a stop in the clearing I quickly cover my nose at the smell of blood, looking down I catch the bright green blood on the ground along with Dapples blood. Looking further on I trace the tire tracks in the snow."This is far too easy, why would they leave a trail behind..."

Amari: At least they left us easy tracks to follow, let's get going.

Daniel: This is as far as I go, Amari, I was kind enough to hide an alien in my basement but I can't risk been killed for one

Mourning: You are coward then-

Amari: I understand, head back home and please say hello to Dapple for me and if I die please look after the wolf pups in my house, go now.

I watch as Daniel quickly leaves back down the path before I turn towards Mourning as I could already see the look on his face without even having to remove his mask.

Amari: Nope I am coming along and that's final, Mourning.

Mourning: No u are not Amari, u may be a very capable huntress but u have never killed another human before, u have hunted animals. I cannot risk losing u to those foolish oomans, my mate.

Looking down I nod sighing before I hug him gently before I kiss his helmet.

Amari: Please come back safe Mourning, ill be at the house when u come back ok.

Feeling his purr I smile to him before I let him go as I head down the path again as I hear his footsteps following the trail of tire tracks. Smirking I pull out the wrist guard Mourning had hidden in his pouch since I had snagged when I hugged him, I chuckle putting it on before I put in the same pattern that I have seen Mourning put in before he goes invisible. Looking at my arm I watch as my whole body slowly becomes invisible making me smirk again as I follow Mourning but at a large distance, I didn't want him seeing I was following him.

Walking up the mountain was very tiring for me so when we finally got to the top I had to quickly find a rock to hide behind so I take a breather. The facility wasn't very big at the top and there were no guards around the place, not even wire fencing, it was all open but the tracks lid right towards the huge door that was the entrance. Glancing from behind my rock I watched as Mourning blew a giant hole in the entrance, I was expecting an alarm but nothing came, no guards or anything.

Getting out from my hiding spot I quickly follow Mourning into the place as I hide in the shadows in the corners of the building. The Building was just a cover-up because all that was inside were crates and an elevator going down, some stairs were next to it.

Snapping out of my observation of the building I quickly follow Mourning down the stairs as silently as I could be in boots. Once at the bottom was shocked to find it was only one level which meant this place was small or very large, staying in the shadows I follow Mourning down the white, clean halls of the facility.

I don't know how long we had been walking but through the whole time we had passed many doors, to which Mourning didn't even try to look into but what got me was that there were no guards anywhere."This is far too easy, its as if they know we are coming-"Hearing something shift into the wall I throw myself back as I watch as two heavy metal walls slide down fast, caging and trapping Mourning within them. Gasping I go to bang on the wall before I hear footsteps coming my way fast, turning to the nearest door I throw myself through it before I shut it fast as a group of heavily armed Marines passes the room I'm in and stops right at the wall that is holding Mourning captive.

Staying silent in the room I glance around before I freeze seeing its a control room, large tv screens showed off the different rooms of the facility, looking to the top right one I watched as they gases Mourning before he could fire his canon or even try and escape before they brought the walls up and dragged him away."They had been prepared for this, t..they had known Mourning was coming but it seems they don't know that I am here...I'll use that to my advantage."

Getting up I walk over to the screens before I look at the bottom left screen seeing Shadow unconscious and strapped down to a white operating table, looking to a different screen I watch as they throw Mourning into a glass container before filling it with liquid.

Amari: I need a plan and fast!
