Freedom for fire (Open)

[Deleted]

Reid had finally snapped one day, snapped so badly he had somehow been able to break some of the bars off of his cell and get through. Despite the ankle chain thing he wore, he had transformed and therefore it was no problem. Transforming into the large wolf form, he had scared many of the scientist out of his way as he made his way out of the building. Course there were security people there and despite being under orders to not kill thus were given tranquilizers, it didn't work that well. He had felt the needles of the darts hit him but even then he didn't stop running, he even resorted to setting fire to some parts of the place and even sank fangs and claws into a few of the guards. Letting out his rage as he made his way toward the exit. In which, he did even then though he hadn't stopped when the Axium building was left behind.

He had made his way to a small town before the darts had been taken into effect. In which by this time night had started to fall. Transforming back into his human form, Reid pretty much only had his torn up pants that were turned into shorts on and the chain thing around an through his one ankle. Putting his hand against the door of a cabin, he shook his head as he tried to keep himself awake. He couldn't stay outside not with those chickens coming. Vision started to blurr as he searched for the doorknob, once found he grabbed hold of it and opened the door. Slipping into the house and leaning against the door as he closed it.

Pushing himself away from it, he took a few steps before staggering to the side and ended up falling on the ground. Passing out due to the drugs effect. In his haste he didn't even take notice that this house was being used by someone else. And whoever was staying here was sure in a surprise when they arrived.

[Deleted]

Izzy walked into the house and saw a stranger laying in the middle of the floor,what the.... she though. She went over to the strange man who looked to be just in some torn up shorts. Who is he? she wondered.

"Um....Hello?" She asked as she shook his shoulder gently. If that didn't work she would do it more ruffly, she was impatient.

"Who are you? My name's Isabelle, Izzy for short," She said when he was awake, at least slightly. She looked at him curiously, wondering why he would chose to pass out here, the she noticed the tranquilizer darts. Maybe it wasn't choice.

"What happened?" She asked taking in his mostly naked form again. He certainly was strangely dressed in just shorts, with not even shoes! He did have a strange metal thing around his ankle though. She never even noticed his hair.

[Deleted]

The darts weren't too strong, enough to knock him out surely but not strong enough to keep him under for a good deal long. Feeling the hand on his shoulder, Reid reacted rather strongly. True he cringed and his amber eyes snapped opened. His body was still a bit weak considering he had been running for most of the day, fought with humans and their guns, and from the effects of the darts he couldn't move really fast nor quick. He pulled himself away from Isabelle as he turned round to face her.

Naturally untrusting of others due to being raised in Axium, Reid glared at Isabelle. Hunching up slightly as he sat there, watching her movements to make sure she wasn't going to do anything. Breathing hard, his fur like hair stood up a bit. Caution was needed, not losing control and allowing the beast nature to take over. There was a scent about this strange....he...he couldn't quite place it. It wasn't human he knew that. But...but what exactly? In Axium, his nose was constantly burning due to the smells of chemicals, the smoke from his fire, the burned walls and floors, and many other things.

"Reid...." Reid answered.

He hated the name Fire Wolf, it was what they called him. He was out of there now. Free. He was free of it all!

"N...Nothing...." Reid added in a slight growl as he glanced away, biting the inside of his mouth to try not to snap.

[Deleted]

Izzy stepped back and held up her hands when the stranger cringed back. "I'm not going to hurt you," She said softly, she really wanted this person to trust her. She could tell he was still a bit sluggish, probably from the darts. His eyes were also an interesting amber color.

She could tell that the mistrusting side he was showing came natural and she wondered what caused that. Izzy could tell he was confused by something though she wasn't sure quite what and she just smiled at him.

"It's nice to meet you," She said to Reid, at least he gave his name. She couldn't say she wasn't scared of him, at least a little. She wondered again what the thing on his leg was but didn't know if she really wanted to know.

After a few moments of silence she finally asked, "What is that thing on your ankle?" She didn't believe him when he said nothing was wrong and she couldn't keep her curious and slightly kid like nature from showing through. She was being to curious for her own good and she didn't even realize it.

[Deleted]

Reid gave her a suspicious glare when she said she wasn't going to hurt him. That was a lie he had heard before. As a child, they said it wouldn't hurt and that they weren't going to hurt him. Well, he put it together as he grew up. That anything those people had told him were going to be nothing but lies. The question of if she was part of Axium was in his mind however upon being asked about the metal brace chain on his ankle, he started to lean a bit more toward that she wasn't. After all, any number of scientist in Axium had read his file and thus knew about the metal item.

"Some....sort of chain..." Reid answered.

It was in a way that. Somehow when he was in his other forms, the metal of the contraption became a part of him and thus strengthened his ankle. It wasn't just attached around the ankle, it was going through it! It had always been like that and thus his ankle had learned to heal and deal with it. Course this resulted in his limping when in human form. It had long since to hurt him, at least to when he was in human form it never seemed to bother him. When had he first gotten it attached?

[Deleted]

It seemed that her words about not hurting him had the opposite effect she was going for. "I'm serious, I'm not going to hut you! What do I even have to hurt you with?" She said, she had her hands up still showing she wasn't holding anything and she was staying pretty still. She didn't know what was up with Reid but he was the most mistrusting person she had ever met.

"Why were you chained?" She asked honestly just curious. She was very kind and was speaking in a low tone, as if talking to a scared animal.

It looked like the thing hurt and she noticed suddenly that there was a piece going through his ankle, it had to hurt. "I'm just curious about what's going on. I mean a strange person suddenly popping up here, it's weird," She said honestly, starting to let her talkative nature show through. "I can tell you aren't normal but what exactly are you? I'm a werewolf, so being normal was never really my thing," She couldn't help it and she hoped he was starting to trust her enough to answer her questions as she slowly lowered herself to sit on the floor.

[Deleted]

The way that Isabelle reacted to his glare didn't sit well with his beast nature, the wave of her hands caused a low growl leave him despite his attempts to hold it in. Leaning away from her, he sat a bit straighter now as well.

"Circumstances of the past, make it hard to believe a word anyone else says." Reid replied as he kept the glare, there was a slight glow to them at the moment. "The chain never stayed in the wall, they just never bothered to take this part out."

Reid did have a strange appearance as well as his arrival. So he could see why she was wanting to know. Though when she mentioned that she wasn't a normal human, the glare weakened a bit. Should he tell her? What was there to tell? It's not like there was another one of him out there. Most of him was experimentation from before birth, the tests done on his mother had affected him instead. Changing whatever he could've been if she wasn't their prisoner.

"Probably best you don't know that part." Reid answered. "I'm not even fully sure on that one."

[Deleted]

Again, opposite affect she was hoping for. She really wasn't going to hurt him but he didn't seem to believe her and the more she tried the worse he got. She decided to stop trying and just stared at him uneasily. There was a sense of danger that came with him being here.

"What do you mean 'circumstances of the past? What happened?" She asked, she did want Reid's story, though she was sure it wouldn't be good. She smiled slightly at Reid again, she hadn't realized she had lost her smile earlier. "If it never held you why even put it in? I mean there had to be a better way than to cause someone pain to hold them," She said with confusion tinging her tone, her ever curious attitude was going to get her in trouble, honestly it usually did, but she could never stop it.

She could tell Reid was unhappy about whatever happened but she didn't know how to make it any better, she really wished she did.

"I don't know what you are but I know that you should have more trust than you do, which means I also know that whatever happened to you was bad," She couldn't quite bring herself to ask what did happen to him, she was honestly scared to find out.

"Probably is," She said as an after thought to his comment, she said it so low she would be surprised if he herd it.

[Deleted]

Reid didn't want to talk about it. He finally got out, free of that place. Why should he talk about it when he was finally free?! There was good reason to feel a sense of danger from him. More and more his beast nature wanted to take over, wanted to snap and lunge out at her for asking things that clearly were making him more unhappy. Closing his eyes, Reid' gritted his teeth as he kept his mouth closed. Trying to hide the fact that a few of his teeth were turning into fangs.

"Does it really matter?!!!" Reid snarled as he turned his gaze back to her. "They were cold hearted snakes that cared about nothing but their testing!!!"

Reid made his hand into a fist and slammed it down onto the wooden floor. The force he used was more than he intended. Causing a hole the shape of his fist to be there. He heard what Isabelle said and really, he just looked away.

"You have no meaning to that word." Reid snarled to himself in a low voice.

[Deleted]

His reactions were starting to scare her more as she watched him. He was obviously unhappy and she was starting to get really scared. She wondered why he was keeping his mouth closed so tightly but she didn't dare ask, her eyes were already huge. She was really starting to fear for her life and she gulped loudly.

"I-I guess not. I-I'm really so-sorry I kept asking," She said as her eyes were still huge. At his words about testing she didn't dare ask what he meant. her breathing was fast and she was starting to stutter in her speech.

Her eyes only got bigger when he left a hole in the floor, they now looked like they were about to fall out of her head. She gulped again, holding back a scream. Her pulse was extremely fast, maybe she should have been afraid that he would hurt her all along.

It honestly didn't seem like anyone had any meaning in their world but she didn't say that. She had stopped being able to really speak and was now just staring at Reid.

[Deleted]

Calming down was a hard task. He could see that he was scaring her but he was used to scaring others. The only people he scared before were the scientist that were there to do experiments on him. So really, a part of him enjoyed scaring them because it was payback in it's own way. But this person.....she wasn't part of Axium. A member of Axium would know all of these questions. This lady seemed to just be asking them because she was confused by him.

Letting out a few heavy breaths, he was able to relax enough to where he was able to shove his beast nature to the side. For now at least. He glanced back at Isabelle, the glow was still part of his eyes but really that was normal for them.

"D....Do you have any spare....spare clothes?" Reid asked.

He couldn't just walk out of here like this. That would draw attention and really, he just needed to get as far from Axium as he could. How far away was he from that place? He had no idea. If Axium caught him here with her, then he'd be dooming her to the life he had known for twenty-nine years.

[Deleted]

She didn't know how hard him calming down would be for him but she knew it wouldn't be easy, it wasn't easy to calm down from that kind of anger for anyone. She was honestly confused by this person and she wondered what he would do next.

When he took a breath and calmed down a bit she stayed as still as possible, only allowing herself to breath. She stared at Reid and carefully assessed his anger level before speaking again when he asked her the question.

"I-I think I c-can dig something up," She said slowly, the stutter still there. She went to her storage room and found some of her dad's old cloths, they might be a little big on Reid but they would work.

She knew he wanted to get away, he must be running from the people who made him distrust and easily angered. "I really a-am sorry about earlier, my curiosity g-got the best of me," She said her eyes were back to normal but there was still a small stutter in her voice. She was careful about what she said to him now hoping that she wouldn't set him off again. "The cloths might be a bit big but I think they'll be okay," She told him as she handed over the jeans and shirt she had found.

[Deleted]

Reid watched Isabelle go look and while she did so, he slowly stood up. He couldn't stay here, even if he had passed out a second time. Axium would be looking for him. The outside world was unknown to him, very unknown. Sure he had been educated so he could speak and reading was another thing, but he never wrote. Writing was a skill he wasn't taught. When she returned with clothing in hand, he turned his gaze to her.

"They'll be fine." Reid answered.

It didn't matter that the clothes would be big on him, that might actually help prevent them from getting destroyed if he lost control. Sure, his pants always survived somehow. But his shirts never did. Perhaps a bigger shirt would survive? Accepting them, he paid no heed to her apology. Apologizes were a unknown thing for him. So acknowledging it was hard. Placing the pants down on a table near him, he put the shirt over his head and placed his arms through the sleeve holes.

"T...thanks..." Reid said when he got it on.

He would've asked her to turn round so he could put the pants on but the sound of his stomach growling made him stay quiet. He was actually surprised by that happening and it caused him to keep his mouth shut. There was actually a surprised expression on his face slightly.

[Deleted]

Izzy smiled, she was actually glad she could help with something.

"At least you won't look so strange," She said with a smile. She didn't mind Reid so much, she was just afraid of his anger. "Maybe no one else will ask like I did," She said quietly, she didn't want him actually hurting anyone. She was back pretty well to normal, her heart was still a bit fast but it was slowing, as was her breathing.

"Your welcome," the way he said 'thanks', stumbling over the word, made her think he didn't say it often if he had ever said it before. She suddenly felt more sorry for him, how horrible that his life must have been so far.

She laughed as his stomach growled. "You want something to eat? I can fix something if you like," She offered, she needed to fix her own supper anyway. She saw his surprised expression and wondered if, through everything, he had been given enough food to keep his stomach from growling ever before. This could just be another way of her helping.

[Deleted]

He did look strange. His hair always had a fur like appearance to it, making it bushy and very soft. All the scars he bared on his back, arms and chest. At least the shirt covered it all. There was nothing he could do about the chain on his ankle. That thing would stick out very well. Other than that, he looked fairly normal. Unless he started to snap then his beast nature would take over and it would make him get closer to changing.

At the offer for staying for something to eat, he wasn't sure on how to answer. The food in Axium wasn't that great but he took what he got. Instinct told him to leave, it would keep her safe it Axium came for him. There was no doubt in that though.

"Um..." Reid started but feel silent as he stood there. "I..."

It was a rare thing for Reid to get quiet like this. He was used to hunger but normally his stomach would growl within a cell that had nothing but him in it. So no one ever heard it before. Course the fact that his stomach growled again made his face a bit red due to him being embarrassed now and really his tongue was tied. All he could do was nod to give an answer.
