Snippet #1544270

Matt glanced over at the girl now at his side again, staring at ther food. "It's drugged." He repeated for Kaylee, just in case she forgot. His gaze shifted to the food itself. It looked harmless enough... but reap had fallen alseep immediatly, so they had to be strong.

So what other way than to test it, right? Matt blinked, but when he did, his eyes shifted to red again, switching into his darker half. Adrenaline flowed through his veins freely now, willed into action my Matt's own mind. Years of practice. He could switch between personalities at pure will at this point, much like switching with an animal. So with his combat high activated, Matt couldn't help but glance around the room for a reason to fight. But finding none, he looked back at the food, took an apple, and bit out a huge chunk.

He felt drowsy almost instantly. He was sure that if the adrenaline in his body hadn't been on it's rampage, diluting the anesthenic, then he would have dropped in an second. This was powerfull stuff!
So He took another bite, then another. And soon the whole apple was gone. He had difficulty keeping his eyes open the whole time. After the apple was finished, he kept his eyes closed, waiting. After a minute or so, he felt the poison wearing off, and after another minute, he let his eyes change back to their normal dark brown. Drowsy, but awake.

"If you're that hungry, then you better scarf down as much as you can fast. This stuff is fast acting." he said softly, holding his head. The stuff was still wearing off, but with his combat high gone, it was still affecting him. He turned to the dog still looking at the food and smiled. "Might as well. They'll probabl come get us in two minutes, taking us back. Sorry for ruining your couple hours of freedom." He looked down. "I didn't mean that to happen. I just couldn't let you get hurt again."

He took a cup from the table, and let his red eyes return. "Hehee... but they should know better than one hurt my friends." Matt smirked, his darker half speaking. But with no enemies around, it wasn't a big change. He took a sip from his coke, smiling at the taste of his favorite drink. "I think I'm gonna head out for a while. Get some shuteye." He smirked again, downing the whole cup. "I'll see you tomorrow." He scratched behind her ears one last time before petting her down her back once and standing up. The guards chose that moment to burst in, telling the people to leave.

Matt simply walked passed them. One grabbed his shoulder as he did. "Hey, you can't-!" Matt's head kerked at him, and his wide, still red eyes nearly sent the man into tears with just a sight. Matt then walked down the hall, unhindered, and into his room. he shut the door, the clicking of the lock telling him he was safe, then sat in his bed. With one final check to see if there was anything else needed to be done, he let the red fade again. He fell on his pillow instantly and with a soft thud. Out like a light.
