"I found the keys!" Ariana shouted as she dashed into the laboratory.
Her eyes gleamed with excitement and victory as she ran toward the naked man chained to a pole. Swiftly, she hugged him, the feel of his naked body on her was heavenly but they had to focus.
"Good job!" He said as a wicked smirk crept onto his face.
"We will finally be together!" Her joy knew no bounds, her chest heaving as she found the locks. Quickly, she unlocked the chains but in that moment, the door was slammed open.
The air turned tense as the last person they expected entered.
"Ariana!" Mr. Rays shouted, with a crazy look in his eyes. "You bitch!"
"Father!" She gasped, her eyes wide in fear. She never thought her father would find out what she did so soon.
Like a flash, Mr. Rays dashed toward the duo, grabbing her. His fist tightened around her arm and in the next second, he threw her body to the other side of the laboratory.
Bang!
She hit one of the stools with a loud thud. A loud cry of pain, that pierced the air spilled from her throat. She saw her life flash before her eyes.
On the other hand, Mr. Rays looked at his daughter with no empathy and the cries of her pain flew over his head. It soothed him.
"Hello, Mr. Rays." The naked man, Sullivan, said in a low voice.
"Son of a bitch!" Mr. Rays cursed as he turned to look at the naked man, who was a few feet away.
However, before he could do anything, he saw a flash and Sullivan was standing before him, his gaze piercing into the old man's soul.
In the next second, Sullivan's arm shot out, his fingers slowly curled and tightened around Mr. Ray's veiny neck.
"Ugghh.." He groaned, the veins on his head bulging as he held onto Sullivan's arm, clawing at it.
As a Werewolf, Sullivan was fast and strong, and added to the fact that he had been constantly injected with energy-inducing substances, he was epic.
"You can't escape from me, you crazy scientist," Sullivan smirked, his victory near after being locked up for years.
"You think?" Mr. Rays smiled, even with the pain that seared down his neck. He would never admit defeat, especially to his captive.
Swiftly, he reached into his pocket and brought out a Swiss army knife. Before Sullivan could dodge, Mr. Rays stabbed the knife deeply into his hand.
"Hmm..." Sullivan groaned and quickly let go of the old man. Blood dripped down his hand as his eyes turned red like a bull ready for attack.
"You think you can get away? You monster!" Mr. Rays chuckled wickedly. In the next second, he ran to the other side of the laboratory and swiftly took up a syringe with a certain type of drug.
On the other side, Ariana who had been trying to regain her strength, ran toward Sullivan, "We need to go."
Sullivan nodded, and he was quick to drag the knife lodged in his arm, not even flinching. But as she tried to walk him out of the laboratory, Mr. Rays crept up from behind.
Swiftly, he stabbed the syringe into Sullivan's neck.
"Ahhh!" A short groan of pain resounded as his eyes turned redder, the veins all around his body bulging. Without thinking twice, he threw Ariana away from him and turned to Mr. Rays.
"You dare!" He growled as his arm started to grow fur. His fingers grew into claws and he caught Mr. Rays once again. He was swift, and the old man couldn't dodge!
Mr. Rays quickly realized the drug he had injected, didn't have the desired effect. He wanted to make Sullivan weak, to counter the energy-inducing substance in his body. Unfortunately, Sullivan was now immune to most of his creations.
His claws pierced into Mr. Rays' neck and blood splashed out, splashing all over his face.
The sight and smell of blood made Sullivan crazier. He wanted more! More than what the old man had taken from him.
The old man was like a paper weight to him and in the next second, he flung him across the laboratory.
Bang!
His back slammed against the hard door. The father and daughter duo were now sprawled on the floor a few feet away from Sullivan who had gone feral, and ten times powerful due to what was injected in him.
Seeing the crazy look in his eyes, knowing her father had done something. She was afraid he wouldn't recognize her as she quickly knelt down, "Calm down, Sullivan. Look at me."
Tears dripped down her face and she suppressed the searing pain in her body. She just wanted to get away with him.
"Shut up! You bitch! You caused this." Mr. Rays shouted and he quickly stood up and dragged his daughter by her legs.
Her body tipped over to him and a sharp resounding slap landed on her face. She had no time or strength to resist her father's grip as her screams echoed through the laboratory and Sullivan was irked.
"You are not worth being my daughter! You are just a fake!" He was so consumed in taking out his frustration on his daughter that he didn't notice Sullivan was coming for him.
"Let her go! You bastard!" Sullivan grabbed onto Mr. Rays' legs, leaving Ariana who quickly fell to the floor, her cries intensifying. Easily, he turned the old man over, hitting his head against one of the stools.
Mr. Rays saw his life flash horribly before him as blood started to drip from his head.
"I am going to kill you for touching her!" Sullivan started to drag the scientist out of the laboratory. However, Mr. Rays held onto a stool for dear life, his strong hands his saving grace.
"Let go of me! You animal!" He screamed, refusing to let go.
But as Sullivan tried to drag him away, he was distracted by Ariana's cry of pain. Mr. Rays saw this as an opportunity and swiftly, he sent a hit straight to Sullivan's groin.
That hit sent Sullivan off guard. There was no greater pain than this.
"That's what you get for fucking my stupid daughter!" He yelled and then reached out his hand, to get a metal rod. He slammed it against Sullivan's head.
Sullivan froze, as he felt a searing pain down his spine. He tried to attack but Mr. Rays slammed the rod against his head, his back, targeting vital areas in his body.
Sullivan's body caved as he fell to the ground, dizzy and weak. The energy he gained ten times over seemed to vanish into thin air. However, he was concerned about Ariana and tried to reach out to her but he couldn't.
Mr. Rays made sure to grab him and he was dragged out of the laboratory, "You are my captive, you are never going to overpower me."
On the other hand, curled up on the floor, her life at the brink, only surviving on her shallow breath.
"Help me..." She whispered, as her eyes turned blurry. Her father had hit a nerve in her head.
Outside the laboratory, Sullivan was slowly regaining his strength. However, Mr. Rays wasn't paying attention, as he wanted to get his captive to another location as quickly as possible.
Unexpectedly, the old man felt a creeping hand on his leg and swiftly, he was pulled to the ground.
Bang!
His head hit the hard floor, and his already injured head split even more. His heart plummeted down to the pits when Sullivan rose, a wicked smile on his face as blood dripped down.
He looked like the god of death!
"Are you ready to die? I am going to take your life!" Sullivan chuckled, the sound reverberating through the hallways and sending chills down the old man's spine.
Without thinking twice, he slammed his feet against Mr. Rays' chest, breaking a rib. His screams of pain soothed Sullivan greatly and he didn't stop.
Mr. Rays was bruised and battered. Extremely weak and he knew he couldn't get away from the crazy Sullivan.
There was no escape route for him and he made the cruelest decision. His hands shakily clawed at the wall as he tried to find a button.
"You can't get her! Not now! Or ever!" Mr. Rays declared, with a devilish smile on his face.
Sullivan was confused as he didn't know what the old man was getting at. His eyes were focused on the old man as all that was in his head was to kill.
However, before he could notice what was happening, the old man pressed the button on the wall. Alarms went off and in the next second…boom!
The raging fire burst out in the laboratory and Sullivan finally realized what the scientist had done.
"What have you done? She is in there!" He screamed, descending down on the old man furiously.
"I get to destroy my creations with my own hands." Mr. Rays said without remorse in his eyes.
"Don't worry you won't die." He added, as he coughed up blood. "The fire can't get through. You will live yourself regretting her death!"
"How dare you! You fucking bastard!" Sullivan landed a hit on the man's face. With hit after hit, the old man'd body turned into a puddle.
However, it wasn't enough. He wouldn't rest until the old man was dead and in the next second, he snapped the man's neck.
Crack!
In just a second, his body turned limp.
Swiftly, Sullivan let go and rushed toward the door of the laboratory and tried to get it open. However, it was tightly shut and it was impossible to get it open even with inhumane strength, and with just a single touch, he was burned.
"No…" He let out, as a knot twisted in his chest. He had not come this far with Ariana, only to have her die in the fire. He was shattered and hopeless as he didn't expect, Mr. Rays, the proud scientist would choose to destroy everything he had worked for, including his daughter.
By now, he knew Ariana must have caught fire. And due to how hot it was, he knew she would perish in the fire.
"I'm sorry..." He whispered, with a sullen look on his face. His arms morphed into their human form again and in the next second, he turned around and walked away.

Inside the laboratory, Ariana was burning, her cries echoed but didn't go past the walls. As the fire licked at her flesh, she begged for an escape.
"Sullivan!" She yelled as she tried to claw her way to the door. She heard a bang against the door and her hope was ignited.
She couldn't wait for him to get her, however, as she continued to wait, she burned slowly. A few moments later, she could no longer hear him and she realized she had been abandoned by the man she loved.
Life slowly slipped out of her, and her long-lasting wish finally came true. To die.
