Lycan!Deadlock is being hunted and heās running as fast as he can. Shots are being fired and bullets whistle all around him. Lights flash behind him. Other than that, itās dark.
He sees a sewer pipe in a ditch and hides there. Heās trembling. His tailās between his legs. Heās panting. He tries to calm down.
His pursuers run past his hiding place.
Deadlock heaves a sigh of relief...
Then, a bright flash of light blinds him. He yelps and dashes forward and knocks the hunter over and makes a run for it.
The hunters are behind him again in no time. Heās getting tired.
A loud bang and searing pain. Deadlock yelps in pain and stumbles and hits the ground. His leg is bleeding. Hot, throbbing pain nearly paralyzes him.
The hunters surround the lycan and point their loaded guns at him.
Deadlock whimpers and closes his optics and presses himself closer to the ground.
Then he hears a whooshing sound. As if huge wings beating the air.
The next thing he knows is a huge black figure looming over him, a deep growl rumbling from the stranger. The hunters scatter and run away.
Deadlock canāt move because of fear and the shock of being wounded. The stranger steps over him and crouches down. The strangerās blazing yellow optics look down at the lycan and Deadlock stares back, growling.
āEverythingās all right. I wonāt hurt youā, the black stranger says in a soothing voice, āIāll take you to safetyā, and makes a move to lift Deadlock in his arms.
Deadlock whimpers. Heās utterly exhausted. Heās scared. Heās bleeding. He has no strength in him to fight this big winged stranger. So he submits and allows the other to lift him into his arms and fly him to safety.
