Chapter 14: KAZ-2Y5

(Author's Note: Special shout out to Oreo360!! I'm dedicating one of my best chapters to my best friend! Happy Early Birthday Sis!! And I "won't" get you anything:D )

Brittany's POV:

I start to cough as smoke clouds around the arena. I look and see one of the men that had the assault rifles had fallen and hit the concrete pretty hard. I run up to him and grab the rifle, then he grabs my hand suddenly. I take the butt of the gun and hit him in the head with no remorse.

I grab Jenny's arm and tell her, "Let's get out of here!" I have to yell over the chaos.

I go over to the open doors that held the Infected and see silver bars past the door that held them in a large cage. I shoot the lock and use my boot to kick the door so it doesn't burn me. I run through the doorway with Jenny on my tail. The halls are made of concrete as well, and I need to find a stairwell. We're still below ground.

A man rounds the corner and I aim the rifle, shooting him down. As Jenny and I bolt through the halls, I remember where I first woke, and try to backtrack to there. I remember Hades coming through the door beside the cells, so that should be an exit.

We finally find it and I run to the door, having to shoot the lock again.

"What is your name?" Jenny asks suddenly, making me freeze right before I go through the door.

I look at her and reply, "Brittany Slater."

"You don't act like a Slater." She replies.

"Yeah, and as of now, I'm just Brittany. Now lets go." I reply, urgently trying to ditch the conversation. She stays close to me as we run up the stairs. I think back and wonder who on earth called my name. I wonder if one of the guys showed, or got caught.

Once we get to the top, we come out to the very top where the gun fight is. We can either go towards that, or into another hallway on the right. Or, we can go for the emergency door. I go to push it, but it's locked and this door has no lock to shoot. Who locks an emergency door?!

Suddenly another explosion goes off, but it doesn't sound as bad as the one from the gas. Sounds like a grenade.

Jenny begins to cough hard and I'm not doing well either. Maybe we can make it around the fighting and to the wall that exploded. The gas pipe left a gaping hole that leads outside, I can tell because of the light emitting from it.

Smoke fogs the place and it's hard to see very far in front of you. I grab Jenny and we go back to the hallway, there has to be another way out. There are so many bullets flying and you can't even tell who's shooting at who.

At the end of the hallway is a door, and we have no choice but to go through it. It opens to a huge storage room, kind of like the one's you would see in the back of a supermarket. Food, ammo, weapons, clothes and some other materials like metal.

There are about fifteen men shooting at each other. Hades being one of them. His Pack is shooting at.. Jax? Jax and a few other men I've never seen. He has a lot of nerve taking this man on.

"The man in the black jacket, see him?" I ask Jenny. She nods, "We're going to get to him and you'll stay with him." I tell her.

She nods and I bolt to him with her, running behind multiple crates in order not to get shot. I get to Jax and he yells over the gunfire, "It's about time I found your a**! Now lets get out of here!"

"Okay, Jen-" I look behind me and see Jenny's gone, "Jenny!"

"Help me! Brittany!" I look back and see a man dragging her to the opposite side of the storage room to Hades. He must have been hiding behind the carts and snagged her when we were running without me seeing.

I run to her immediately out of instinct, Jax yelling at me to "get back here!" and shoot the man in the head with the rifle. He falls and Jenny falls with him because he had a hold on her neck. I grab her and pull her up, shoving her towards Jax. I go to run, but someone grabs the back of my shirt, causing the already torn fabric to dig into my cut, and I yell. I swing the rifle around, but it's ripped from my hands and thrown somewhere.

"Britt!" I hear Talon scream. He must have come with them.

The person wraps their arm around my stomach and pulls me behind a crate so they don't get shot. They then take me by the neck and shoulder and throw me to the cold concrete floor. I look up and see Cody's dark eyes glaring with hate as I take gasping breaths. I sit up and his foot comes in contact with my head, sending me backwards.

I hold my bleeding head and groan, he reopened that cut just above my right eye. I try to summon my Wolf, but it doesn't work. The stuff he gave me to keep Kira back is still in full swing.

Most of Cody's minions get closer to us, still shooting, to prevent the guys from getting to me. I sit up and Cody lets out a deep, dark chuckle and raises his fist. It comes flying at me and gets me right on the right side of my face, sending me to the left.

"Brittany!" Talon calls out again.

He grabs me by the hair and yanks me up, and I let out a painful groan in the process. He takes me by the neck and slams me into the twelve foot crate. He glares and I spit out, "F*** you."

I start to panic when I feel my oxygen get cut off.

"I might just have to take you up on that." Cody smirks, taking me by the upper arm and yanking me away. He leads us to a door that I didn't know was back here where they were fighting, then down a hallway. He's taking me to Hades, I know he is. We make many turns, then out of a door that leads to the outside.

Within the one second I get to look, I see a black already-running car waiting outside on the old country road for me, beside the loading dock in the back of the factory. We must be in an un-populated part of North Carolina like Jax is because I can see mountains from here too, we must be on a hill. I only got one second to take it all in because the next thing I know, Cody's hands are off of me causing me to quickly spin around.

Keith had shoved Cody so hard he hit the ground. Keith points his pistol, and it clicks. He grabs the hammer and it still stays jammed.

What are the chances of a gun jamming?!

Keith suddenly shoves me backwards and I then see why. Cody's fist goes flying and nails Keith in the jaw. Keith takes the gun and uses the butt of it to hit Cody in the head, making him falter a little. Keith is a man going against a Wolf, and he knows that. He may have the stamina of one, but not the strength.

Cody blocks one of Keith's hits and swings his foot up, kicking him in the stomach, sending him to the ground. I go to hit Cody in an attempt to help, but he simply grabs me and slings me back down to the ground like I weigh nothing, scratching my arms up. He obviously has orders not to kill me.

Cody pulls a gun and I don't even have time to yell. He fires twice, getting Keith once in the upper thigh and once in the upper right part of his chest. He yells out and I scream, "No!"

I crawl over to Keith and grab him, beginning to panic. He holds his chest and lets out hard breaths, grabbing my hand, his head pushing into the ground in pain. Cody grabs me by the shirt again and I scream, "No! Stop! Please!"

I don't want to hurt Keith farther, so I let go of his arm but he reluctantly and weakly lets go of me.

"Please! No! Keith!" I scream, fear for him enveloping me completely for the first time in a while. I could deal with the Runners, now the Savages, the Sirens, the Crawlers. But never would I be able to handle people. They have a sicker sense of mind than any creature I have ever met.

Cody drags me towards the car and I see Talon round the corner of the factory. He see's Keith and yells, "No!" I push, I shove, I kick, and I scream until my throat just can't take anymore. Cody has to get a full grip with both arms around me to shove me in the backseat, him following and slamming the door yelling, "Go!" The last thing I see is Talon sprinting to the car, and Keith staring at me with pain all over his face.

Something I never thought I would ever see.

-----Talon's POV-----

I use everything in me to get to that car, but it's useless and I know it. Whoever is in the front speeds off, taking a sharp right, and my hand barely grazes the trunk as it speeds off.

The car had heavy armor nailed into all sides, so shooting would have been useless, and I bet anything the tented windows were bulletproof. I had no bullets left anyway, just arrows. License plate number KAZ-2Y5.

"D*** it!" I yell in anger, coming to a stop as I watch the car continue to disappear down the street.

I spin around and see Jax picking up Keith, leaving behind a puddle of blood. I run up to him and he yells, "We have to get out of here! Get back to the trail! We'll lose them with the scent spray! The other guys have already bailed!" Some girl who is with him holds her hand over her mouth, trying to stop crying.

We take off running and I yell, "What about Brittany?!"

"I have a plan! Now shut up and keep running!" Jax yells.

I look back and see the car is already gone; gone with what belongs to me.
