Chapter Eight

Luc woke up in his apartment, the sun pouring in, something... He smelled something. His nose twitched, but besides that he didn't move.

Who was there? Who was going to die?

The tiniest sounds rustled through the front room, almost like scurrying rodent. Except that mice were not men-sized. He slowly, slowly dragged his feet beneath him, setting himself up to attack. The hanging bed swayed, just a bit, and his claws dug in.

The sound of cloth scratching on wood came from just beyond the door. Someone was being very careless. He slid down to the floor, heading for the sound, claws bared. As soon as the door cracked open, he pounced, snarling.

He twisted in midair when a needle slammed into his rib muscles, piercing the skin and feeling like it scraped against bone. Cold, huge steel. Ice seemed to slide through his veins, even as rage heated him and he attacked the now-closed door. What had they done?

What was this?

He hit the floor, bare knees slamming into the hardwood.

Knees.

He groaned, fingers tearing the needle from him.

Fingers.

Knees.

The feline in him screamed, trying to claw out and it wouldn't come.

The sound of running feet was indistinct to his human ears, but the man was clearly running away from him. What could he do like this?

He found clothes, shoes, coat. Hat. Then he headed for the front door. There were people coming up the stairs, he could hear them. Fuck. Fuck. The world was beginning to get fuzzy, distant. Odd.

Luc ran for the window, racing for the fire escape. The Rose.

He'd go for the Rose.

Jonny would help him.

If he made it there before the world went black.
