Kat held Jack the monkey close to her body, the monkey was of course enjoying the affection. She listened to Cameron and these rules reminded her of the rules she was first told when she was a young child just coming to the asylum. She nodded silently, and seemed to busy occupied by the moon and the stars and the grass, all of it. Her eyes changed colors again, to a soft light blue color, and she gave a slight smile. It was so beautiful, a lot prettier then she had expected. She used her free hand to stroke the monkey, but she did stay quite close to Cameron and Anny. She didn't seem so scared anymore, and it seemed to her as if all bad thoughts of the outside world had faded. One thing that worried her still, in the deepest depths of the back of her mind was her diet. She couldn't eat human food, it made her sick, how she was supposed to eat raw meat and drink blood infront of humans and expect to be accepted was beyond her. She looked at Cameron with a wondering gaze, "It's really pretty out here." she said softly, before retruning her gaze back to the sky.

Cameron slowly looked down towards her and said "It's always this pretty, but sometimes in different ways." He slowly began walking, making sure that he had her hand in his at all time. He didn't want her to get lost, and there wasn't much of a walk. He slowly walked onto the sidewalk, to a slightly poorer side of town. It wasn't exactly a rat's alley, but could be dubbed "A rich ghetto." Now rich meaning having enough money to fix some of the potholes, but not rich enough to get some police officers over to stop the gang fights. Unfortunately, this is where Cameron grew up with his foster mom. He wasn't mean at all, and he always did what he was told, that's how he survived the gangs. Whenever they would make a joke at him or throw a bottle at his head, he would just laugh at the joke or catch the bottle and set it down on the ground. Cameron was fast too, fast enough to outrun a pursuer. He didn't want Kat getting caught up with all of this, but things were calm around where his mother lived. His mother had a list that he gave him, and he would soon give to her. It marked the places where she could and couldn't go. He slowly walked down, past a couple of rows of houses down to a one story house with what looked like a new paint job. there was no car parked out in front of it, and there was barely any cars on the block. Anything you needed here you could walk to, and cars were simply not needed.

Kat clutched his hand with a gentle tighntness to it. She looked around, and noticed there were several people sitting on porches, either reeking of alcohol, or of some drug. She wrinkled her nose slightly at the thick smell of pollution over them. How can that not bother Cameron? Maybe he is used to it. she thought to herself, but otherwise, she remained silent. She lowered her gaze down to the ground, and stared at the black sidewalk beneath their feet, until Cameron's pace slowed. She raised her head and she looked up at the house, it had a quaint look to it, and it didn't reek of those other substances she'd smelt earlier, so she already liked it. "Is this your old home? Before you moved in the asylum?" she said, keeping a hushed tone as if she were afraid someone would hear them. She moved some of her multi-colored hair out of her face, and smiled brightly at the sight before her. She let out a soft sigh and smiled a little brighter, just glad to be out of the asylum.

"Yes. This is where I lived with my foster mother." He slowly opened the gate and walked up onto the porch. He let out a deep sigh and pushed his finger against the doorbell letting a ringing noise echo throughout the house. He heard soft footsteps come over, and then a woman came to the door. She was about Five eight, African-American, a little big as if she had been pregnant twice and she smelled of lavender. It was the smell Cameron remembered of his childhood, and it is still the sweetest to him. She quickly grabbed Cameron, faster than he expected and gave him the usual bear hug. She differed how she was around different people, but for Cameron it was always the squeezing feeling as she wrapped her arms around him, smothering him. Now he was taller than her, so it was easier for him to hug, but she caught sight of Kat and quickly left from Cameron's arms. She looked over to Cameron and asked "You had a kid?" Her voice was very old fashioned. Refined, strict, to the point. Cameron would never argue with her, never fight and he never was punished. Cameron laughed as he shook his head and said "No, this is Kat. She's a girl I work with from my job." She smiled and looked down as she said "It's nice to meet you. You can call me "mom." Everyone calls her mom, since she really is the mother of the society, though when Cameron calls her that it truly has meaning.

Kat picked up the footsteps and she suddenly began to feel nervous. She figeted, and switched weight between her two feet. Her grip tightened a little around Cameron's hand. Kat's eyes fell upon the lady like they would to anyone else, Kat gave a soft smile and tried to remain silent as the two hugged. Though she couldn't help but to giggle when she mensioned that she thought Cameron was her father. "It's nice to meet you too...Mom." she said, struggling with the word mom because she'd never called anyone mom, and she never thought that she would. She swallowed hard and moved some of the hair out of her eyes. Her gaze went to the floor, like it did a lot of the time when she was first meeting people. Kat was usually quite out going, but this was her first time outside, so she had to be cautious. And there for her shy, and more reserved attitude began to show a little, but she was of course, respectful by all means.

"Well come in! I just finished a new batch of cookies!" Mom called loud enough so other's could hear too. Cameron's mouth began to water at the thought of her world famous home made cookies. She made them for the neighborhood usually, and she got the money to make them from some of the neighbors insisting they buy them. Cameron stared down at Kat before asking "You never have had a cookie before, have you?"

Kat thought of cookies, she thought of human food, and she looked at Cameron. "No. I haven't. You know what my diet usually consists of." she said, emphasizing the word 'diet', still in a hushed voice.. She turned back to Mom and smiled "They sound good...And they smell good..." she said, not really realizing that she was showing some of her more inhuman traits, like her strong sense of smell. But she couldn't help it, they did smell good. And it was human food too, that was what was most suprising to her. Kat usually didn't like human food, so she hoped that this didn't make her sick, and that she liked it.

Elena sat on her bed, her back leaning against some cushions..
She felt extremely drowsy, and could not recognise any of the nurses or doctors coming in and going out of her room..
Her hyperventilating had ceased, yet her mind still flashed with crazy ideas and insane images, that if it had not been for the medications she had been forced to take, would have surely driven her wild and screaming...
She shifted a bit, trying to get out of her straight jacket, yet not managing to get the energy to try more than a random struggle..
Her eyes had been open, and glazed over, as always, as she stared ahead of her her..
She heard voices, and most of them were only in her head.. From small squeeky sounds to big booming voices, aside from the sounds of the doctor ordering the nurses to get a specific medication or to get Elena some water..

Cameron quickly showed Kat in, nearing the strong smell of oven baked cookies going through the kitchen, and slowly spreading across the house. Cameron pulled out a seat for Kat, and plomped down right beside her. Mom turned the corner, oven mitts and all with a full batch of choclate chip cookies. She set them down onto pot holders on the table, and Cameron made sure that Kat did not touch them until they had cooled off. Mom came back with two tall glasses of milk, and Cameron moved his hands back letting Kat take the first one. "They are good. Trust me."

~{I feel bad just leaving you out all alone like this, Hippogrifff. Dx I'm sorry.}~
Kat looked all around the house, absolutely intrigued by it. She sat properly, like a lady, or so, how she was taught. Kat knew her manners, and she had been taught well, she just never really had to many oppourtunities to use them in the asylum, but now, Kat was finding them very useful. Kat nodded thankfully at the glass of milk but she looked down at it, she knew what it was, but she'd never had any before. She seemed so preoccupied with the milk she'd almost forgotten about the cookies. She looked at them, now cooled down and plucked one off the plate. She took a bite after staring at it for a moment, and chewed silently, her gaze back at the milk.
She showed no emotion whilst she chewed, but when she swallowed a smile came to her face and she looked at Cameron. "These are good." she said, nodding, as she took a sip of milk. She'd confirmed it was okay to have now that she hadn't vomited after drinking some, but she still decided to take it slow. Kat ate silently, she said nothing, she was acting like she was at some fancy dinner party. She finished her cookie, and her milk, after a short while and she just sort of sat there. She looked at Mom, "That was really good, thankyou." she said softly, smiling as she spoke. Kat liked it here, she liked the outside and things didn't seem so bad out here. She sort of regretted never going outside earlier in her life, but was glad she was doing it now.

Cameron slid his hands through his hair as he laughed. His laugh was not always a laugh, but an exhale of air in short bursts. Though Mom on the other hand broke out in a full laugh as she walked over to Kat and gave her a "cub" hug. It was not quite a bear, and that was what she used on children. It didn't cut off circulation as an added bonus. "You are too cute!" She said in her own little squeal. Her squeal was... odd to say the less. She then drew away and pushed the cookies towards Kat, just as Cameron reached for a cookie. A sharp smack came down on his hand, but it was light and Mom quickly said "You have had all of your childhood to eat these, now let her have a turn." There is was, Cameron's exhales that were dubbed "laughing." He understood that Mom wanted Kat to be treated special, and his hand barely hurt. "So Kat, how would you like your own soft feather bed and pillow with a warm blanket?" Cameron asked as he got up from his seat and walked behind her, almost father/boyfriend worrying/question. Now this is something he did, but he did this especially for Kat, to make sure she could trust him. He put his hands on her shoulder. "There ain't no other kind." Mom said as she picked up Cameron's dishes.

Kat looked at the two laughing, and she was confused. But she couldn't help but to giggle along with them. But her giggling stopped for a moment as Mom hugged her, just because she was suprised at the act. But her giggling started up again, and she hugged the lady back, slightly. She looked at the cookies and then at Cameron, who had gotten in trouble for taking one. At first she was afriad to be rude, but she took another and this time took bigger bites. But her biting was cut off by Cameron's question. She swallowed, and licked her lips clean of the crumbs of cookie, since she'd finished her milk. She smiled, glad for the invitation. "That would be wonderful." she said softly. She felt hands on her shoulders, and for a second she was taken back to the asylum, where one of the doctors would do that. But she pushed the thought into th back fo her mind, and then she remembered something. "Excuse me, Mom, but is it okay if Jack stays too?" she asked, the monkey came out of his hiding place, which was the deep pocket in Kat's dress. He squeaked softly, and took a peice of Kat's cookie before dissapearing into the pocket again. Kat smiled softly before popping the rest of the cookie into her mouth while she waited for a reply. If not, then she could have someone take care of Jack for her...Or something. She just wanted to stay here, she liked it here.

"Only if you care for him. I don't want no monkey poop all over my house." Mom joked as she gave the plate of cookies to Kat as a midnight snack, and refilled her glass of milk. Cameron leaded her into his old room and he said "She's fine with pets, but just make sure that he doesn't die." He then opened up the bed for her and walked over to his old closet. He unrolled his old sleeping bag and layed it onto the ground. He then grabbed one of his clean socks, and tied it over his eyes. He then nervously said "I have to watch over you, but you are a girl, and you, erm... there are fresh clothes in the dresser. They are my old ones, I'm sure you'll fit fine." He remembered how tiny and petite Kat was, and then he sighed thinking where he could get her a belt. "I'm going to get some sleep." He said as he was almost cut off by a long yawn. He then rolled to his side with the sock fastened over his eyes, and he fell quickly to sleep.

Kat smiled, and nodded, "You won't." she didn't mention the fact that Jack did his buisness in the shadows. Kat took the cookies and the milk thankfully, and she followed Cameron, slowly, making sure not to spill the milk. "He won't die." she said softly, more to herself to actually reassure herself that Jack would be fine. She watched him put the sock over his eyes and was a little confused at first, but then she understood with his next statement. "Thanks." she said briefly. She didn't say anything about sleeping though. "Goodnight." she said softly, before she moved quietly over to the dresser. She dug through it for a while until she found a T-shirt, and some jeans. She pulled off the dress, and pulled on the jeans and T-shirt, which were a little baggy, but she didn't mind. She was used to loose fitting clothes so this didn't bother her much. She pulled the monkey out of the pocket of her dress, and she moved over to the bed. She slid the blankets over her body and set Jack on her lap, as she pet him gently. Kat had forgotten to tell Cameron, that she never slept. She remained silent, not to disturb him and kept herself busy by playing silent games with Jack, and eating the cookies, sharing with Jack as well.
