"Wait! Hold the doors!" Scott yells out as he and Josie runs for the elevator but he misses his chance. He looks for another way and turns to Josie. "Ok, stay here." He says, making sure she understands.

Josie scoffs, "Forget that!"

"Josie, please, I want you to be safe. Please, for me, stay here." He says.

"I'm safer with you. Now, come on!" She smacks his shoulder and takes off running to another elevator.

He rubs his shoulder, "You're gonna be the death of me." He mutters.

Sean calmly gets up to stand in front of Melissa, blood dripping from his lips, smeared all over his mouth and cheeks, "I think I'm ready to talk now." He says calmly.

Melissa quickly runs out but Sean catches her, causing her to fall. Melissa wrestled with Sean, fighting him and screaming, "No! Leave me alone! No!"

A loud roar erupts from the hallway. Scott in his wolf form crouches into a fight mode and runs towards Sean. Josie runs to help Melissa. Scott had Sean up against the wall but Sean lifts his foot and pushes Scott off with all his might and takes off running towards the other way.

Scott gets up and runs to Melissa and Josie, "I'm okay. I'm all right." She assures them. She bends over and leans on her knees.

"Are you sure?" Scott asks. Josie looks at him, this was the first time she has seen him as a wolf. She could only stare at him in wonder but she quickly shook herself out of it. There was more important things to deal with.

Melissa stands up straight, "Go get that son of a bitch." She pants out.

Josie chuckles and starts to follow Scott but Melissa pulls her back, "Wait, Josie. You need to stay. It's too dangerous." She says.

"I can help. Trust me." Josie says and pulls away from her, following Scott.

Liam is startled from the loud roar that echoed throughout the hallways. He carefully gets off the bed and limps to the door.

"Hey! Anyone hear that?" He calls out and walks into the hallway, looking around. "I thought I heard someone." He mutters. He turns again and sees a bloody Sean walking towards him, growling as his teeth dripped with drool and blood.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Scott bursts through the stairway door and Josie follows him. He looks up and sees smeared blood on the walls. Josie could smell it from where she stood. She groans in disgust and covers her mouth. She watches Scott runs up the stairs, practically jumping 5 at a time. She tried her best to keep up with him but it was difficult.

Scott busts through the roof door and sees Sean holding Liam in a head lock on top of a higher point of the roof.

"Get back!" Sean yells out.

"Don't." Scott stops in his tracks. "You don't need to do this. Whatever it is. Whatever you are, we can help you." He says. Josie is a breathing mess as she reaches the roof's door.

"No, you can't." Sean growls.

"Let me help you." Scott tries again.

"Wendigos don't need help." Sean says. "We need food!" He growls out. Liam breaks out of the headlock and fights Sean. Scott runs and leaps up into the air, landing on top the point. Sean pushes Liam off the roof but Liam catches the edge and Sean puts all of his attention on Scott. Scott shoves him away and runs to catches Liam. Sean hops on Scott's back as he was holding on to Liam and pulls Scott's arms back, letting go of Liam.

"Oh, God! No! No! I can't hold on"Liam shouts as he grips on to the edge.

Josie bursts through the door and sees Scott struggling in Sean's arms. She looks around and finds a loose pipe. She grips it and pulls it, kicking it a few times till it finally gives. She climbs up the ladder and sees fingers gripping on to the ledge. Liam!

Liam begins to slip and she watches Scott uses his teeth to catch Liam. Liam screams in pain at the feel of teeth tearing into his arm.

Josie runs towards Sean and hits his back with the pipe. He finally lets go of Scott then growls at Josie. She lifts it to hit him again but he grabs her and they both fall on lower part of the roof. Josie cries out in pain as she lands on the hard roof and slowly tries to get up but Sean jumps on top of her. Shrieking in fear, she uses the pipe to block his strikes. He finally rips it out of her hands and moves to strike at her. She kicks him in the stomach and gets up but he reaches and wraps his arms around her stomach. The wind began to whistle softly, and started to grow stronger. Josie elbows him in the gut and gets away.  Scott finally got a hold of Liam and pulls him up to safety. Liam sits against a wall, holding on to his arm, groaning in pain. Scott looks at the sight in horror. He bit him! Oh, my god, he bit an innocent.

He snaps his head to the other side and sees Josie fighting the Wendigo, Sean, "Josie!" He shouts.  He jumps off the high point and races to her.  He had to get to her, he had to protect her.

Josie kicks Sean in the face but that didn't seem to affect him. He backs her up into the wall and lifts his hand to strike at her. She crosses her arms over her face for protection and prepares herself. But the wind around her began to roar loudly.

Suddenly, Sean was thrown backwards into the air, far away from her. Josie opens one eye and looks around, she gasps in shock as she sees that Sean was 10 feet away from her. The wind still swirled around her. She looks down and sees dirt swirling like dust storms around her feet. She looks at her hands and feels the cool air surround her fingers and palms. Soon, it was gone. Sean growls and gets up. He gets into attack mode but grunts and goes stiff. Blood gushing from his mouth as he gags for breath. He falls to his knees and soon onto his face. Josie and Scott look in horror at the sight of a large black military axe sticking out of Sean's back. Josie looks at Scott and Scott looks at her and Liam. Then, they both turn back and see that the axe was removed and a figure was walking back into the shadows. He stopped as he reached a corner of the large air system and faces Scott. A tall, man. Dressed in black. Bald with no mouth! He lifts a gloved finger to his face. Giving Scott  a silent 'shhh'. Then, he was gone.

Josie pants in relief but still looked at her hands. She looks up at Scott who had a concerned look for her. He could see her hands shaking in fear.

"What am I?" Her voice quivers.
