"Would you just shut the hell up Bekka!? You're not making anything better with running your mouth." Raven said as the first ghoul thudded along side the road after they'd hit it. She put protective arms around Keiran, and allowed Lance to hold her protectively. Raven reached back for Donna as the rear window was busted from it's frame. Pulling Donna into her lap she held her friend as she cowered and sobbed into her legs. She tried to cover Donna's ears as best she could so that her friend could cling to her, and know that someone who cared about her was there. Muttering some soft words, Raven tried to ease her friend's fears as the car took a sudden lurch to the left, and then a quick jolt to the right.
Raven watched as Bekka nearly fell out of the van, and tried to remain serious. The feral vampire side of her wanted to watch the b***h fall and be taken by the ghouls. No part of her wanted to see the b***h safe inside her vehicle. Instead she turned her attention to the large crowd of ghouls coming at them. She knew he was unable to stop the van before the onslaught undead bodies collided with them. As a vampire she was immortal, but her little Keiran was not. "Bowman, if you all die I'll find your soul and kill you all over again." She said. "And that's not a threat, that's a promise." she said menacingly.
She had felt Lance's protective arm leave her, and now she wished it was around her once more. She braced herself for what was sure to be an imminent impact. Looking at her new daughter's face, she smiled and relaxed her body, yet still kept a hold of the little girl. She put her free arm around Donna, and held her close to her body. She had a feeling that Donna was going to be dead this night, or undead.
.....How he hadn't noticed them at first, he hadn't known, though was only a tad bit grateful for the four AH-64 Attack Helicopters firing into the swarm of ghouls which descended down the highway. Missiles had been firing and bullets erupted from mounted artillery, decimating the concrete as the car sped toward the crowd. “Oh ********!” Boman shouted as he slammed his foot onto the accelerator just a slight moment before the vehicle slammed into the crowd. The car came to a dead stopped as the creatures climbed aboard, smashing through the windows and trying to crawl in through the sun roof. Boman was smashing the accelerator so that it was nearly breaking through the floor. The car was moving slowly against the weight of bodies and wheels strained as they burned against the pavement. Everyone inside was in a panic as the creatures purred into the interior, Boman threw his elbows aside to keep the ghouls from coming completely though his window; Lance had been doing the best he could to fend the creatures of and prevent them from coming through the window of his door.
.....Bekka was having a frenzy with the creatures grabbing and clawing at her, causing her to bleed over her arms and legs. She was screaming obscenities when about five ghouls tried to come in on her at once, all of them grabbing her at parts of her body. Her feet lashed out, kicking the ghouls one by one till they fell from the moving car. Boman cut the wheel to a hard left as the car mimicked the action, turning hard and speeding off into through the brush of woods, finally breaking free of the crowed. However, in this motion, Bekka had been pulled from the car and was left behind. "s**t!" Boman shouted when he realized that the blond was pulled from the car, though he hadn't stopped nor had he slowed his speed.
.....Boman steered the car strafing left to right trying to shake of the last few ghouls. There were still about eight of them attached to the car, still trying to feed one the fresh prey kicking at them from within. The car strafed, hitting a large natural object and began to tumble down a hill, colliding with bushes, ferns, and trees along the way until breaking the thick brush of woods and coming to a collapsed heap of metal on a deserted dirt road. For a moment, everyone within the car was still, in shock, and unaware of the few approaching ghouls slowly creeping down the hillside, the three of them crawling on all fours. Boman was twisted in an odd angle and for a few moments had been unable to move anything on his body. Donna had been tossed over Raven and Karien with the three of them bent and battered at odd angles as well. No one had been wearing a seat belt, neither had they expect to be in an accident, yet everyone here now was too battered to move, until boman manged to somehow pry his door ajar.
.....One of the few remaining ghouls launched itself at him, but before Boman could react, the ghoul's body exploded with holes as bullets pelted the creature. The other ghouls who were crawling franticly toward the fallen car, began to fall as bullets rain onto them. Boman was almost half out the vehicle along with Raven when he spotted a US Navy Seal, with a Cabarine in hand and trained on him now, approaching them slowly and cautiously. Boman almost immediately spotted four others following the Seal in front. Never had Boman been so relieved to see a human.
....."Identification!" The Seal shouted, coming to stand only 4 feet from the dark skinned man, who now was helping Raven from the wreckage. Raven seemed to be fine as Bomwn watched her skin heal the scratches scattered about her person, then his eyes looked to the red head child who seemed to be completely unscaved. He released Raven as the Seal Team closed in around them, all of them standing rather close. "Identification!" the Seal repeated, his finger on the trigger of his cabarine.
.....Boman turned slightly to look at the man as he tried to pull Donna from the back seat. Donna was bleeding from her head and seemed to have a concussion, her body limp and heavy. "My name is Muhamm, Boman Muhamm,1979 Osio Norway,US Graduate MD Bio-Chemist and MD Bio-Phenomenal Researcher." Boman said then, reaching into one of Donna's pockets and retrieving her wallet. He tossed it at the leading Seal's feet and began to access Donna's injuries while Lance climbed his way from the other window with Cocoa in his arms. "This is Donna Mitchal's, an MD Phenomenal Transfusion Specialist."
.....The man studied the id's, looked towards Raven, realizing she had winds sprouting from her back, and then leveled his gun to Boman's head. "Why are you driving north on a highway closed off from civilians?"
....."And why does she have wings?" Another Seal asked, pointing his weapon at her.
....."As i said, MD Bio-Phenomenal Researcher... meaning my ID grants me clearance to be here, for obvious reasons." Boman answered, though the man looked unconvinced.
....."You work under who?"
....."Doctor Harris of Harris States Research Laboratories. These are my subjects, Donna here is my co-worker."
....."And an infested laboratory will prove useful to you how?"
....."These subjects contain entities that are related to the current... err... pleague... of deformed and alterted persons."
..... The commanding Seal gave Boman a hard glare, one which Boman had never received from a meir human. "What's the REAL reason you're here... Lyken?"
.....The Seals all stared at their leader with open mouthed shock, their eyes bulging from the leader to the Lyken.
....."A Lyken? As in Werewolf? HIM???!" A blond Texan asked in shock, backing away slightly.
.....Boman turned his head to gaze over at Raven, who had been reviewing the child in her arms for injuries as the other Seals began to whisper. "As I said, these two have a part in this and a possible cure. If you dont want this outbreak to get out of hand, then-"
....."Its not an outbreak." A Seal beside the leader stated, cutting Boman short. Boman just stared at the man. "There has been no mutation or infection observed or reported. These things are just savaged people who were possibly exposed to a toxin-"
....."Wrong," Boman was glad to cut the Seal off at this point. "These (looking down at one of the dead ghouls), from my observation, appear to be casualties of a failed experiment."
....."Overall, these things get to a major population, and this country will have a state of panic." The leader spoke once more, lowering his gun slowly.
....."So I see you've decided to escort us then?" Boman smirked.
.....The Seal gave Boman a disgusted glare before lowering his weapon entirely. He made a signaling gesture as his team began to follow in a combat alert manor. Boman had been shaking Donna as they began to walk the last few hundred meters to the laboratory once he realized she was coming around. Lance had been walking beside Raven with Cocoa still in his arms, though limping on his left leg from an unattended injury, even though he made quite an effort not to show the pain he was in. Everyone was silent, an eerie absence of trust and uncertainty between the lot, all of them watching for ghouls while keeping a close awareness of the others.
....."Where am I?" Donna asked, trying to see through squinted eyes. She had taken a hard blow to the head during the car wreck and was now weaving in and out of consciousness. Everything to her vision was a blur and the light of the morning sun burned seared her sight. She tried to look up at Boman. "What'd you do to me?"
