When Kai started to move forward, ti started to slow down from Gary’s perspective. Even though he saw the blonde teenager rush forward, he still couldn’t believe it. Alas, the Werewolf was unable to stop his instincts. Since the nice and juicy piece of at was taking the initiative to deliver itself upon him, he opened his mouth, his teeth extended and sharpened further, cutting through the flesh.
‘What… why is Kai doing that? Has he gone mad? I have to stop… but this taste!’ Gary thought to himself as the blood filled his mouth. Rather than iron, it tasted like the most divine sauce. It was hard to say whether this was due to his palette having changed, or if this was simply the case because he had never been on the verge of death through hunger. No matter how hard he was trying to stop himself, his jaw was crushing down harder.
“Arghhh!!! … shit, how long do I have to endure this?! … Co on, Gary, turn ! That’s the only way we can get out of here! …” Kai was cursing as he could feel the bones in his hand breaking.
Gary tried to unclench his jaw, but it seed impossible at this point. Aside from the possibility of turning Kai, there was another reason why he was getting worried. He stepped back, but in doing so he dragged his cellmate whose weight seed inconsequential right now.
As for the reason, he had stepped back, it was because the chains that were holding him had started to loosen. Gary started to wrap them around his arms again until he felt the chain becoming tight again. His hands were trying to reach for Kai's body, but they couldn't anymore, falling just short.
“G-gary, you're still there… right? You just need to let go. If you let go, I can break us out of here and help you!” Kai tried to reason with the Werewolf as he unsuccessfully tried to free his hand. Unfortunately, it just wasn't possible and as soon as he tugged on it, the other teenager’s mouth opened slightly, only to chomp down even further on Kai’s arm. The upperclassman had been aware that his approach would put him at risk, but he was starting to realise just how much of a gamble this situation really was turning out to be.
“F*ck!!!!” Kai scread at the top of his lungs. “Are you trying to kill ?!”
Of course, Gary wasn't trying to kill him. If he wanted to, he could have done that in seconds. In fact, he was doing his darndest to prevent his instincts from doing anything but take a bite to replenish his depleted Energy.
He was fighting even now, and finally the sound of tal bending could be heard. Looking past Gary where the sun had co from, Kai could see that where the chains had been pinned down, they were slightly breaking from the ground, even the links themselves looked like they couldn't hold out much longer.
“Gary!!!” Kai shouted even louder into his head, getting close, trying to make him hear. He was aware that it was risky, his face could be bitten off at any second, yet if he didn’t do anything he would probably get eaten alive here.
‘I..I can't fight much longer, and if these chains break free, then there is nothing stopping from going after Kai. He will be killed in an instant… I don’t know if just biting him will turn him now that I have a skill… but I don't want to kill him… but if I don’t do anything, he will die either way. … Please be lucky, Kai!’
Forced by the circumstance, Gary decided to risk it.
[Skill activated, Alpha's Bite]
Using the system seed to be easier than holding back the urge that was growing within him, and he could instantly tell that it worked. Kai's veins started to bulge in front of him, showing through as a bluish green, and soon it spread to his neck. It looked like the teenager wanted to scream, but other than shallow gasps of air, no noise was coming out.
Still, there was one problem that had yet to be resolved, and that's the fact that Kai's hand was still trapped in Gary’s mouth. At the sa ti, the hungry Werewolf’s fingernails were starting to grow, and they were inching further and further towards Kai’s sides.
“Stwb f!” Gary grunted. Hardly able to articulate due to the hand in the mouth, Kai nevertheless managed to sowhat understand the order. Using the last bit of control he had left, he grabbed and held onto his mother's pocket knife with his other hand, and swung it towards the top of Gary's mouth.
It pierced through his skin, though it was harder to pierce than Kai had anticipated. Either way, he continued to push and finally Gary had let go. With his hand free, Kai fell to the ground, as the pain took over, and managed to roll away a few tis, so the Werewolf couldn't reach him. He did so until he hit the back of the bars, stopping himself.
Now with his al out of the way, Gary could feel his body weakening again, and him falling down to the ground, his eyes fading away as he was growing tired.
Was it the wound on his face? With the knife inside him, he had no way to heal, he was bleeding out and had no strength. Perhaps this was the end for the two of them.
…
…
…
Slowly, Gary started to open his eyes. It didn’t take him long to register that he was still in the very sa cell as before. However, things had drastically changed from the last ti he had woken up. For one, the room was now stenched with the sll of blood, his own as well as Kai’s.
As he went to touch his face, he noticed neither the blade nor the wound. That's when he felt sothing else as well. His Energy was back to normal, and there were no more chains on him.
Turning, he could see the chains had been ripped out of the ground.
‘Did I do that? No, that can't be possible… and how did I heal? Was the blood enough for that?’
The worst started to co over Gary as he recalled the last thing that had occurred. Looking in front of him, he could see the bars were bent, his cellmate was missing, and he could barely make out the sound of fighting in the distance.
