Snippet #2501263

I embraced the girl before she could say another word. I held the hug for a while and then released, putting my arms down to my sides. "Listen to me. You need to relax and worry about this later, okay? Your father is fine. You're still fine. We'll all be fine. Let's just get you out of here." I guided her inside van and grabbed the keys on the ground. As I returned to the Jeep, my appearance to change into one of the soldiers that I had recently left to pieces at the airport. My hair changed into a scruffy black slicked up with a bit of gel and my face began to lengthen and my eyes lit up a baby blue. My cargo jacket changed into a battle vest and my converse into pitch-black boots. I placed the keys into the ignition and said to the girl to put on the hat and shades. "We need to keep you as discreet as possible. And the only reason I'm not putting you in the backseat is because... well, I wouldn't want to be back there again." I said, my voice changing to a smooth monotone. I turned the car on and drove towards the checkpoint leading to the highway. "Try not to make eye contact." I whispered to her, staring at the guards near the gate. Rolling down my window I checked my voice to be sure it was still the soldier's tone.

One of the men came out of stated, "Sargent Charles. I heard a bit of noise back there. Any trouble?"

I shook my head and chuckled softly, "Don't worry, my men took care of it. It was just a few predators from the forest."

"Hah! I knew that getting those freshmen out there would give them a jolt. Who's the lady?" He asked back staring at her.

"She got in the middle of it and she asked me to take her home. But don't worry, the hostage is still inside." I said, nodding to the airport and I looked back to the guard, trying not to show the gritting of my teeth.

The man lifted the gates and allowed them through, shouting, "Better come back soon before they see another wolf or somethin', Charles!"

I laughed haughtily as I rolled up the window, letting out a breath as soon as we got out of sight. "That was close.", I said looking towards the girl and I beat on the wheel laughing the whole while. I sighed when I finally stopped and glanced at the road, trying not to run over anything. I sped up to the highway speed limit and asked, "You need something? A drink? Something to eat? I'm sure he starved you in those chains."
