"The hell?" Socks mumbles as he lays on top of a broken-down mat. How long had he been there? No Idea. But he knew it was related to one of his nightmares involving his friends. He slowly gets up and looks around at the room. The power was off so the room was quite dark. Although a flashlight in the corner lit up a small bit. Socks picks the light up and shines it around the room. Multiple claw marks were scattered against the walls and floor. "I'm in a lab cell?" He mutters and looks to his right at a door which was clawed open. He makes his way over to it and moves the door slightly. One of the hinges had been broken off and was lying on the floor.

He looked outside to the hallway and noticed the same claw marks everywhere. He steps outside and immediately steps into a substance. He shines his light down on it. "Blood?" He mumbles and looks to the left but quickly looks away. A female scientist lay dead with her eyes gouged out and plunged into her stomach. He hears a clang the way he was looking and shines his light towards the way. He then hears movement behind him and turns that way. Only to see the scientist's body had been hung on a hook that was right above her body from before.

"Nice of you to visit me Socks."

Socks quickly turns around to be greeted by the one and only Woolf. "Woolfster?.." Woolfster grins and puts his hands on his hips. "I promise I ain't gonna hurt ya." The wolf puts his hands in the air in surrender. Socks looked at the wolf. He had no wounds except a needle filled with green liquid lodged into his shoulder. "Are you-" "Dead?" Woolfster shuts Socks up quickly. "I mean.. I guess. I don't really know where I am.. I've been next to you the whole time. Just like everybody else had been." Socks tilts his head slightly, "What do you mean?" Woolfster's ears flap for a second. "Have the kids visited you yet?" Socks shook his head. "The only people who visited me in my nightmares were Tbh, Dino, and Tbvg." Woolfster nods and swishes his tail. "They are still pressed. But if it gives you any hope. I forgive you."

Socks smiles. The first time in one of his own nightmares. "Thank you Woolf." Woolf smiles lightly and wags his tail. "Although I will say. I may join you again. Just like the others will." Socks nods and waves as he feels his head get lighter. "See you soon."

Socks gets up from his desk. He fell asleep during work again. Luckily he actually had a good dream for once. And he didn't wake up screaming or stressed. Atleast somebody forgave him.

"Making my way~" Socks sang as Woolfster trailed behind him. "I enjoyed the walk. Thank you for helping me clear my mind. I know it's hard to start going out after what happened with everybody.." Socks opens the front door and lets Woolfster inside. "Of course. I'm sorry I had to tell you about Dino." Woolf shrugs. "It's fine. Even if me and Dino were enemies.. I enjoyed our few nice moments." Socks smiles and kicks his shoes off as he plops onto the couch. He did feel bad for the teenager having to also go through the losses. Especially losing his best "friend".

A loud bang on the door alerted them both. Woolfster watches as Socks gets up and just as he was about to walk to the door, it gets busted down. Woolfster looks at the guy who busted it down, a swat officer. Woolfster runs and hides behind Socks, nervous. Two people in white coats look around and see the two. One of the scientists whisper to the swat guy who walked over to the two men. "I'm afraid you'll have to move sir." The guy says to Socks. "Why?" The guy points to Woolfster. "He needs to be contained. We can't have any hybrids, vampires, sea creatures or any type of monster roaming around here." Socks wonders for a minute, "Who the hell called them?" The Swat guy starts to glare at Socks. "If you don't move I will have to use force."

Socks didn't want to know what the teenager would have to go through if he got taken away. So, Socks sticks his arms out, blocking the man from the teen wolf. "He's only a teenager. I'm not going to let any of you hurt him." The Swat guy rolls his eyes and pulls out a pistol from his belt. He makes a fast movement that nobody could dodge and slams it down onto Socks's head. He instantly falls to the floor and Woolfster looks in horror as blood starts coming out from Socks's head. He gets on the floor and holds Socks's body then tries to stop the bleeding. Although he couldn't do anything because the Swat guy grabs Woolf's arm and the two scientists walk over. Woolfster barks and growls as they put a muzzle on his face.

Woolfster starts howling to try and alert somebody, or anybody that could help him. They put a shock collar on him and shock him. Woolfster screams and grips the collar trying to pull it off. The scientists turns the shock collar off once they realize the wolf blacked out. The swat guy picks Woolfster up and slings him over his shoulder. The three leave the house. But not before Socks looks up and watches as Woolfster sticks an arm out towards him.

"I'll see you soon."
