Chapter 3: Search And Rescue
"Come let's go!" Zane rushed off with Javed
Leaving the four of them behind in the tent, trusting them to be responsible and carry the 'beast' to the hospital as quick as possible.
Javed and Zane ran through the forest looking around.
"JIVAN, JOHN!" They both yelled out.
"Keeps your hopes high. Don't let it drop,"Javed told Zane, trying to calm him.
"Like our Zoology lecturer always said: 'hope is for the weak ' ,"Zane reminded him.
"Exactly! Right now in this situation we're weak and hopeless. Hope gives the weak strength and that's what we need right now ;strength to keep searching," Javed replied.
They both remained silent after that.
"Where could they be in this dense forest?" They thought to themselves.
Zane tried contacting the missing pair on their walkie talkies but got no reply. They must've left it in the tent.
Fifteen minutes into the search they found a path. They might've gotten lost and took the path to somewhere so Zane and Javed followed it. It was a narrow path with occasional trees on either side of the path. They looked out for signs of footprints but there was only hundreds of deer footsteps around. Javed and Zane didn't talk much. They were more focused on finding Jivan and John.
It was now around 5 o'clock in the afternoon and the sun was getting ready to set. It was getting darker as the mountains behind blocked the setting sun.
Zane really wondered how the others were doing. They saw some bent over grass which meant someone or something was walking here. It could also mean something was dragged here.There is no way to know for sure so we followed it to see where it lead.
Zane and Javed followed it around a large tree only to see John laying against the tree on the floor with blood dripping from the deep scars in his head and from his sides.
"JOHN WHAT HAPPENED AND WHERE IS JIVAN!"Zane screamed worriedly at him.
He struggled to talk but managed to get some words out.
"Jivan turned into a beast and attacked me and ran off somewhere into the woods," John struggled.
"Even if he did turn into the beast that we captured earlier, why would he attack John,"Zane turned to Javed.
"We have to get him to a hospital as soon as we could!" Zane told Javed while attempting to pick up John. Javed came to help lift him.
"We must rush to the nearest hospital and hopefully we see Jhaved,Justyn and Justin there," Zane said.
They rushed back to the tent and bandaged him up. It has been twenty minutes since They found John and he's been bleeding out quite a bit of blood. John was slowly starting to lkose consiousness. They rushed to Javed's car. Javed was going to drive them to the nearest hospital while Zane was going to sit in the back seat with John to press on his wounds .
It was a ten minute drive to the hospital because there was barely any traffic. They arrived at the hospital and rushed him inside, both of tjem carrying John.
"Get him to the E-R right now!" the lady at the front desk yelled in shock.
The nurses and doctors lifted him into a wheel stretcher and rushed him into a dark room where we were not allowed to go. The panic and anxiety sank into the both of them because this seemed to be the worst day of their lives. First they got attacked by a monster which they are now helping then John is in critical condition. It was too much for them to handle.
It was now past midnight and they were still anxiously waiting on John. There was no sign of Justyn and the others being around.
They were sitting outside of the Emergency Room.... Hoping John is okay. Javed was sure that John be ok. He needs to be ok. He has a family to back home to take care of.
Dr.Nikhil stepped out of the E.R and came out to the hallway where Zane and Javed were waiting.
"Good night, are you all here waiting on John?"Dr.Nikhil asked
"Yes," Javed said saddened and worried about John.
"Don't worry he's fine,"The Doctor reassured them.
"Can we see him,"They both reluctantly inquired.
"Sure come on in,"he lead them in.
"He broke two ribs and his left hand broke. He also has scars on his back and legs. It'll take a while for him to recover. Right now he is sleeping, you shouldn't disturb him. You can stay in here as long as you want to though," The doctor explained.
"Ok, we'll be here for a while,"Zane said.
The Doctor left the room leaving Zane and Javed alone with John. They both looked down at him not saying a word to him.
"They're claiming that he was a werewolf,"They heard the Dr.Nikhil say to someone outside.
They immediately knew who he was talking about and ran out of the room to speak to him.
"Is Justin here!?"Zane asked.
"Yeah, do you know him?" The doctor asked.
"Yes, they're our firends" Javed replied to him.
"He's in the room down the hallway on the right,"Dr.Nikhil told us.
"Ok, Thanks!" They both said while running off to go see what was up with them.
"How are you all?" Zane asked.
"Glad to see you here, how did you know that we were here and did you find John and Jivan?"Jhaved asked
"Well we have John...Not Jivan though," Javed said.
"Where is John?"Justin asked.
"We've been meaning to get to that.... You see John was attacked and is currently in the hospital," Zane explained everything that had happened.
"So what do we do now?"Javed asked
The beast person thing began to wake up. He looked at them confused.
"You attacked us! Why?! We want an explanation!"Justyn yelled.
"Oh no! Not this again. This has happened to me several times. I have lost control and attacked people but this has to be the second time that normal humans have retaliated and made me end up in a hospital. You must not tell the doctors what I am or they will come after me. It has happened before but I have escaped."
"But what exactly are you? "Jhaved inquired.
"I'm a lycanthrope or in terms you can understand, a werewolf. Us werewolves are either born a werewolf or transformed into one when infected by one. So...the myths that you heard were true," the 'beast' answered.
