Exton

Stoney wakes with a roar. The walls behind him shake with its force. Jean-Marc has gone too far. That poor girl, how many more has he sacrificed? The Loup-Garou is going to DIE!

In a flash of wings he goes airborne, only to find himself stopped dead. He surges up again, going nowhere. It takes a few moments for his mind to assimilate that Ob has a hand wrapped around his ankle.

"LET ME GO!"

His roar shakes the walls. Stoney can feel Alise's horror. He needs to go to her NOW!

"Bro, think dude! You don't know where she is!"

There is a pounding of feet on the stairs. Stoney yanks hard, pulling from Ob's grip. In seconds both gargoyles are airborne. Ob gets a good grip on Stoney, trapping his wings. Both tumble from the air, landing on the parking lot with loud crash.

Tori joins the fray and they pin Stoney to the ground.

"Use your head Bro. We need to know where she is to get her."

Stoney shares Jean-Marc's little entertainment with his kin. Tori mutters angrily. Ob curses. He looks up as Ike drops to her knees beside them. She reaches out for Monty, tears in her eyes.

"He can't have her. I need to get her out now... " Stoney drops his head back against the ground, draws a deep breathe and SCREAMS.

"ALISE! I AM COMING FOR YOU!"

The words echo in his mind, smashing into her drugged darkness.
