Playboy:Sure. Where is he? He’s not answering my txt.
Fuck boy:@ the MedC w/ Rez.
Playboy:WHAT????
What the fuck?I’m gonna kill that vampire if he took her to see the blood bank/donor shit. It’s fucking terrifying to watch, and that’s the last thing she needs to see.
Fuck boy:He’s fine, just needs to eat.
He’s fine? Why was that not where my mind was going? I know he had Pathology class today, and I thought he was going to eat afterward.
Playboy:Sure. I’ll b there ASAP.
Sliding my phone back into my pants, I head out to the cafeteria to make his smoothie, running into Moni on the way there.
“Where ya off to?” She asks, and I motion to the room behind her.
“I need to make a smoothie for Zeke and take it over to the Medical Center. I guess that’s where he’s been all afternoon. Wanna come with me? I’ll make you a coffee,” I offer, giving her jazz fingers, and she laughs.
“Never too late for coffee!” she yells with excitement, and we head back to the empty cafeteria.

Fifteen minutes later we walk into the medical building and right into the middle of chaos.
Five soldiers run past us carrying stun guns and dampening cuffs at the ready with a few nurses following them, heading towards the ER bay. Confused, Moni and I share a look and follow them to the heart of the drama.
“Get him out! I need to get to her!” a nurse shouts, and I watch as one of the guards pushes through the entrance, before I feel the most resonant growl vibrate through my bones.Damn.
“Moni?” I ask.
“On it.”
She shrinks down and zips above all of the people blocking the doorway. The next thing I hear is Moni trying to talk over the yelling and roaring in the room.
“Lynx! Sweetie, they’re just trying to help her.”
SHIT!That was Lynx? Is Rez alright?“Let me through! I can help!” I yell out.
One of the guards closest to me gives me a look, scoffs, and turns back around.
Fine. I asked nicely.
I didn’t even know I could do this until Lineage class this morning, but I’m willing to see if I can get it to work again. Holding my hand out, I aim it at the back of the guard and think of water and… nothing.Damnit!
“Let me through! I live with Lynx, he’s my roommate’s Familiar,” I plead, but I’m completely ignored again.
Lynx roars again, but this time it sounds like he’s in pain. My fear is confirmed when Moni yells, “NO! Stop! You’ll hurt him!”
Without a second thought, I throw my hands out, dropping Zeke’s smoothie as jets of water come rushing out of me. All I know is I need to get there to protect Lynx from these guys. They don’t know what he’s going through. He would only protect Rez, not hurt her. The force of the water throws everyone out of my way, wrapping around each individual and tossing them to the side. When my path is cleared, I don’t hesitate. I run into the room, approaching the scene in shock. Rez is lying on the bed with wires hooked up to her, and a massive black tiger is standing over her, roaring his anger. FUCK.

Lynx
They don’t understand!
I roar again and swipe at the troll looking guard, rushing at me with a stupid taser. Like that shit will even penetrate this skin. It’s like trying to put a dick through a belly button. Don’t laugh. I’ve seen it happen. Boy, did that guy feel stupid afterwards.
