smiled broadly, “I was merely
giving you the illusion of control.” He paused. “Do you know how
difficult
it was to bioengineer the Maryut to look like other Inhumans, or set up Cantrix Unlimited to pay off that whining Master Vampire Asp?” He stared at me. “Or how much work I had to do to hide the experiments? That kind of magic isn't easy, you know. You've become a serious pain in the ass, Rose Webb. I'm glad the order has finally come down to terminate you." I stared at the Warlock. “Chithula wants me dead?" Lucas nodded. “And it's about time. Do you know how much that bite you gave me hurts?” He pointed to the still apparent wound on his throat. It was the one thing he couldn't heal. "Maybe as much as a Gargoyle bite?” I asked. "You met my Gargoyle?” Lucas snickered. “Isn't he cute?" "As a button.” I grimaced.
"You want to know the best part?” Lucas asked with a smirk. I nodded. “What?"
Leaning close, Lucas placed his hand gently on my face. “Jared was right about everything." Shivers ran down my back as his lips brushed against my ear. I gritted my teeth. That's what I was waiting to hear.
Throwing my head back, I crushed the bridge of Toby's nose. With a yelp, the Werewolf stumbled back, releasing me. Grabbing Lucas, I flipped the Warlock around and slid my arm around his throat. I had to act quickly in order to remove his chance to retaliate. Pressing my hands to the sides of his head, I ripped my arms away and broke his neck. The Warlock stood wavering for a moment with an odd air of numbness, then crumbled to the ground. Lucas Nash was dead.
Standing over the Warlock's body, I saw several Trolls appear at the end of the machinery. With a war whoop, they started toward me.Great. Before I could react, I felt Toby's hands grab me and slam me again into the wall. He was powerful and extremely strong, but I had one advantage. He couldn't wolf out due to the TS-1138 still in his system. We were on equal footing.
Once I wedged my foot against the wall, I kicked hard and sent both of us crashing into the machinery. As we hit, Toby twisted my arm angrily behind my back. I swallowed a scream as I felt muscles and tendons tearing. I threw my head back again hitting nearly the same spot on his nose. I felt his warm blood splatter on my neck and shoulders. Snaking my free hand down his body, I then grabbed hard between his legs ... and twisted. Toby howled in agony. As his grip loosened, I pulled my other arm free and spun to face him. Blood was splattered across his face and running freely over his mouth from his broken nose. His eyes shifted to bright yellow. Oh crud.
