[Salone]

Lev thrashed as soldiers approached him, trying to scramble away and failing at it. He knew there was nothing these mere men could do. They didn't understand. Any moment he could revert back in to the monster, back in to the demon that had taken hold of him. The memories just from today were all there. And even though he couldn't remember everything else from the years before, he felt the holes. He felt the gaps in his memories, the once that had been swept away when he had not been himself. Just how many people had he slaughtered in that state? Just how many had he eaten?

Lev stopped thrashing his head just in time to see the butt of a gun flash in front of his face. It struck him across the forehead hard, knocking him out. He went slack, allowing the soldiers to rush in and completely bind him. They wasted no time in binding him as tightly as they could, restricting any possible movement. It was apparent that the rope they used was already cutting in to Lev's skin, but it was better to bruise the monster, rather than let it run loose.
