The tactical team were all grouped together in the canyons as they tried to regain the position of their target.
"Sir, we lost her." One of the members, followed by two others came running back to the camp.
The tactical leader sighed. "Find her! I want her located. Check the area, in a 20 mile sweep. Knock down doors if you have to! She's quarantined in this area and I won't have to tell the Senator that we lost that monstrous freak!"
20 minutes later.
"Sir, we've got a warm spot about 10 clicks from your position. North northwest." A soldier replied into a radio. "Permission to proceed?"
"Permission granted. We'll be there in 10 minutes as backup. I'll call in the chopper too."
"Yes sir." The soldier said and then cued his men to attack a cabin.
"Night goggles on, specks on, tranquilizer darts loaded." The commanding soldier said to his men as they hurried across the dusty area and their laser lights scanned the terrain and into the windows.

Thinking she saw light form the corner of her eye, Sahira glanced out the open window. She didn't see anything at first form her superficial glance, but the sound of boots caught her attention. Sahira surged to her feet, recognizing the sound all too well. Striding over to Calein, she clamped a hand over the girls mouth and draged her off the bed. "Don't make a sound," she whispered fervently, pulling Calein across the room to the door. Finding the light switch, Sahira flicked the lights off. Her breath was shallow as she tried to remain still, hiding. "Get under the bed." she told Calein, "Quickly." Sahira was nearly positive these men were after her. Why let Calein get in the way? Hopefully, they would ignore the girl. Slinking across the room, Sahira pushed herself against the wall beside the open window, waiting in case someone should try to get in.

The tactical team moved in faster as they positioned themselves near the exits and openings. "On my mark." The commanding officer said through their earpiece. "3. 2. 1. GO!" He announced and they barged into the doors and windows, throwing in tear gas, hoping to scare the occupants, and hopefully the target outside.

Sahria was ready when the first man leapt through the window. Grabbing him around the neck, she wrenched to the right, snapping the bone. The second man behind him swung around to face her, but too late. Sahira popped her elbow into his masked face, breaking his nose. Before the tear gas could fill up the room too much, she grabbed it and chucked it back outisde, hoping to spare Calein. In the other rooms, she could hear more men rushing about. A very beastial growl rippled up her throat as the warmth spread through her body. Acting quickly, Sahira ripped the gas masks off the two agents she had taken down, throwing one underneath the bed. "Put this on and don't move," she told Calein, before slipping her own over her head. Next, she retrieved the tranqulizer gun from the man who's neck she had snaped. Placing herself before the bedroom door, Sahira took a steadying breath before opening it and creeping out. She could hear coughing from the room to the right, no doubt Calein's grandparents wakened from the tear gas. There was a hall to her left and a hall infront of her. Choosing the one infront, Sahira trotted down, coming upon a kitchen that was filled with three agents. They didn't notice her at first, giving her time to raise the gun and shoot one man in the arm. The tranquillizer bounced off, reflected by some sort of armor. They had stepped up their game a notch. "Shot." she growled as the warmth finally took control. Ripping off the gas mask, Sahira let the beast take over. The three agents let loose with their guns, firing for their lives. Bounding into the kitchen, Sahira quickly dispatched the three men, ripping into their throats.

Calein grabbed the gas mask and put it on she heard her grandparents panicking in the next room calling her name. she heard socks outside yowling.
IT BUUURNS ITS IN MY FACE AND FUR IT BUUUURNS! GEITITOFFGETITOFF calens heart twinged she needed to get to socks. but 'kyra' had said to stay under the bed. 'kyra'....
calein now knew why 'kyra' had the scent of blood on her hand when she first met her. explained some things really these must be those so called government agents. theyd burst in before calein really needed to pay more attention to her other senses. it was soo loud right now, and the gas mask sort of killed her sense of smell, restricted her sight but kyra had told her to stay under the bed, but grandmother and grandfather...

"Subject is on the move! I repeat, the subject is one the--ack!" The soldier that was near the kitchen was informing the other men as Sahira's jaguar appearance attacked him.
"Sir, she's morphed." One of the soldiers informed the Commander as they hurried towards the cabin.
"Understood. Civilians?"
"We have a two head count. An old couple."
"All right, keep them there. I don't want them hurt."
The Commander and his unit rushed inside, heading towards the kitchen as a helicopter began to sound overhead. "Air support has arrived. If she leaves, we'll know." The pilot said to the Commander on the ground.
Spotting a black jaguar-like human, the Commander took aim while three troops rushed in on the beast.

Swinging around an arm, Sahira swatted a tranquillizer away from her. Leaping onto the kitchen counter, she roared at the three men who had come in behind her. Through her bloodlust she saw a man at the back, set apart from the others. Snarling, Sahira pounced off the counter, grabbing two of the men by the throat and bringing them to the ground, crushing their necks under her weight. The third man leveled his gun at her, but Sahira grabbed his leg and heaved, throwing him against a wall. Now, to deal with the commander... Her ears swiveled as they caught the sound of a helicopter. No, there was no more time to fight. Growling in rage, Sahira dashed past the commander, pushing him to the side with a clawed hand. Reaching the front door, she shouldered it open and stumbled out, falling to all fours. Sahira loped on all fours for a moment, regaining her momentum, before pushing herself to her feet and running blindly away from the cabins. Looking up, Sahira glared at the helicopter, snarling.

"She's on the move!" The commander called out, as he was breathing rapidly, thankful that Sahira managed to leave him alone.
"We got here." The chopper pilot replied, using heat sensors to follow Sahira.
"Unit 3, secure the area. Units 1,2, and 4, pursue the target. GET YOUR ASSES IN THE DAMN CAR! I want that freak!" The commander shouted in his comm link and ran outside towards an approaching black hummer. "Time to go hunting." The commander said as he hopped into the passenger side and the car skidded after Sahira.
***
"You lying bastard!" Julian yelled at the image of a silhouette on a computer.
"I didn't lie. You knew the consequences when you joined me, Mr. Riker."
"We had a deal! Sahira wasn't to be harmed!"
"You think I can control the U.S. government?" Shadow asked. Well, actually...I can.
"You're behind this...I know you are! You had Bester read my mind! No one else knew that Sahira was Katrina! No one, but you and Bester!" Julian roared at the screen.
"Think what you will, Mr. Riker, but I told you, casualties always happen in wars. You're a survi---"
"There's no point if Sahira's dead!" Julian sneered out. "Call them off!"
"I can't do that." Shadow replied with little emotion.
"Then I'm done. Once I get Sahira, I'm coming for you, you son of a bitch." Julian sneered and shimmered out of building that he used to contact Shadow.
***
Cain sighed. He shut off the link to the computer. "Hazel. I think its time to make Mr. Riker remember his contract. If the tactical team fails in finding her...it may seem like I'll have to have her forget...our Mr. Riker." Cain said as he walked with Hazel out of an abandoned parking lot.
***
Julian teleported to the last location he knew that the tactical team was located. He heard a helicopter overhead, and spotted a searchlight. "Sahira..." He whispered and shimmered towards that general location.
Teleporting in a bush, Julian glanced around quickly as he heard the hummer's engine drawing closer. The searchlight overhead. He glanced around, trying to find Sahira. He spotted, her, transformed and running towards the east of him. He glanced over and noticed a cliff was the ending point of where she was headed. Crap! He thought as the hummer pursued her.
***
"Clear."
"Clear."
Unit 3 searched the rooms of the cabin, looking for other signs of life, besides the grandparents.

Feet pounding the earth, Sahira could feel the vibration of the Hummer's engine. Looking over her shoulder, she watched the vehicle draw closer and closer with each passing second. Running would be pointless. Snarling, Sahira slid to a halt, twisiting around to face the Hummer. She ran towards it now, thinking only to fight. Just before the Hummer could run her over, she leapt up, pouncing at the windsheild. She grunted, feeling something sharp stab into her throat. Her sight became blurry, her motion uncontrolable. Sahira hit the hood of the hummer hard, bouncing off it to the ground behind, her momentum dragging her across the dusty earth. Shaking her head, Sahira tried to stand up, stumbling. She blinked frantically, and then in a moment her beastial form receded, leaving her once more a ragged human. Her breath came slowly now, and, reaching up, she ripped the dart from her neck. These tranquillzers worked faster than the others, she thought, before collapsing, her body no longer strong enough to keep standing. Sahira watched as the hummer turned around, coming back for her. The only emotion she felt was fury, fury for being finally caught, fury for not being strong enough, fury that she couldn't even let Julian know what happened. "Bastards", she muttered, glaring at the hummer and it's inhabitants.
***
Loping after Cain, Hazel nodded. This Riker guy was really emotional. Didn't he realize how much of a monster his girlfriend was? She shuddered thinking of the woman's monstrous form. "Yes, Cain. It will be as you say."

"Got it!" The Commander declared as he lowered his weapon. "Tell Base Ops that we've got our targ---what the hell!?" The Commander squinted when something materialized right before them.
"RIKER!" The commander shouted, surprised. "You're one of them!"
Julian sneered as he teleported himself in between the hummer and Sahira. His expression clearly showed that he was angry. "And you're dead." Riker hissed out as he used his electrical powers to electrocute the hummer and its occupants, frying them. He heard shots radiate from the helicopter and he glanced up, his eyes cold and deadly. He shot a bolt at the chopper's tail wing, sending it spiraling down. After a moment, he bent down at Sahira. "Let's go home." He whispered as he gently placed his jacket over her and picked her up carefully. He teleported her to one of his condos.
***
Cain sighed. "Monsters are blinded by other monsters." Cain replied as he heard Hazel's phone ring.
"We've lost her." Base ops declared, referring to Sahira.

Through her hazy vision, Sahira thought she saw Julian. When lightning flickered into being, she was positive it was him. Everything would be allright now. Slumping, Sahira finally succumbed to the tranquilizer's heavy sedation.
***
Putting her phone on speaker, Hazel let the caller's voice carry to Cain. She sneered at what the man reported. "Should I try to contact Riker now?" she asked Cain, fingers poised over dial on her cell.

Placing Sahira carefully onto the bed, Julian sat next to her, worried. He glanced at her, wondering if she was wounded anywhere. She only seemed to have been hit by the tranquilizer. He glanced around, thinking he was safe, and not knowing that Shadow had a human locater.
He stayed by Sahira's side, watching over her, patiently. "I'm sorry." He whispered, knowing it was his fault for having gotten her involved.
***
"Give it an hour. I'm sure he's teleporting all over the place. Let him feel secure before you do. It appears, I'll have to do this one personally, so...make sure no one noticed my absence. Will you do that for me, Hazel?" He gave her a charming smile as they passed by small laboratory. "Its been two weeks since Exodus came into being...Phase II will need to be in effect soon. Have Mr. Bester spread the word that Shadow is supplying a Haven for all those with abilities. Oh, and Hazel, make sure you're wearing the necklace...I don't want Bester to get into your head." He referred to a necklace that he fashioned to keep Hazel's thoughts her own when around Bester. He, himself wore one as well.

Hazel nodded to each request Cain made, eager to do as he asked. His smile encouraged her to do her best. At mention of the necklace, she reached into her little hand bag and drew it out. For some reason she always forgot to put the thing on. Now she did so, clasping it deftly behind her neck. She patted it once in satisfaction, then took out her phone. Find Bester's number, her fingers flashed across the keys as they wrote the message. Pressing send, Hazel stowed her phone back in her bag. "There." she said, satisfied with herself.
***
The sedation in the dart pressed down on Sahira like physical force. At one point she came close to awareness, but the drugs pressed back down on her, subduing her. They had given her one hell of a dose.

Tactical boots echoed and creaked along the wooden floors of the cabin, as one of the troops was glancing around. He entered the room where Calien was hiding under the bed. He glanced around at the broken glass and at the men that were attacked by Sahira. He bent down to check his comrades' vitals.
***
As Julian waited for Sahira to wake up, he teleported to another location, where he gathered some clothes, food, and identification for Sahira. The whole thing took him nearly an hour. When he got back, he placed the things down and wondered if he should keep moving. He sat down on a chair opposite of the bed. He bent down and held his head, feeling ashamed and angry with himself. He had almost gotten Sahira killed.

"Ugh", Sahira groaned as she finally began to come to. Her hand came to her head, which felt thick and fuzzy. Blinking, she tried to clear her blurry vision, wondering where she was now. The last thing she remembered was lightning... Turning on her side, she immediately spotted Julian. "Julian." she said softly, feeling a great sense of relief at the sight of him. "I'm ok." she said, watching the way he held his head in his hands. "You saved me."

The soldier jumped when he heard a sound at the window. Taking his gun, he aimed it at the cat, thinking it was the freak monster again. He scoffed at himself, thinking that he was stupid to try and shoot a cat. He clicked his radio. "Clear." He said as he looked back at his comrades. "We need a clean up crew in here though."
He took a glance at the room again and walked out.
***
Julian heard Sahira's weak voice and glanced up. He rubbed his face, cleared his throat, and made a weak smile at her last comment. He got up and sat on the bed. "This is my fault...I should have been there..." He muttered as he fingered her hair with his gloved hand. "I am so sorry." He told her.

socks sniffed. its so easy to scare humans and throw them off. mouse brains! the cat daintily walked around the dead people and curled up next to calein.
calein stayed under the bed torn between going to her grandparents who she heard in the next room. and staying put. she knew they would stay quiet if she didnt show up for fear someone might find her with wolf ears or fur or silver eyes. fortunately she was fine. no wolf sneaking out....

"What?" Sahira asked, confused. "What do you mean it's your fault?" She twisted around, trying to look up at his face. "You didn't know this was going to happen, Julian." Reaching up, she took hold of one of his gloved hands. "You were out searching for a cure."
