Welcome to Gaia! ::

I gulped and took a deep breath. "S-so...I never get to go home?" Wow. I...this is terrible. But, there are other things bothering me.

"You mean, I'm turning into...an animal? And that doctor did this to me? This isn't what I had in mind when I went on vacation!!!"

I sighed. "Well, I suppose I'll just have to accept that. I mean, clearly this has been happening to you, and now it's happening to me, too. I guess I should find out what I'm going to turn into. Is there any way to find out before...it happens?" I realised I was trembling. I didn't know if that was from the shock of it all, or the fear that Imight turn into something really bad.

I was...surprised, to say the least. All in a matter of days, I'd been abducted, woken up on a strange island, and found out I was turning into an animal. "This is too much" I said to myself as Zach left. "Even for me." I decided to head back to my apartment since the day was almost over anyway, and I needed some sleep.

Maybe in the morning I'd try to find a doctor. Prehaps not Mr. Duvert, since he'd already lied to me, but another one. There must be more.

But for tonight, I rest.

Fiona came walking angrilly down the pathway from the general direction of the labs, a piece of paper scrunched in her fist. "Stupid guard, thinks he can scare me," she cursed angrilly under her breath, moving quickly on her strange feet. Taking a sharp turn, the girl came to a halt in front of a stranger, very nearly barrelling into her. "Whoa! Who the hell are you?" She asked, not unkindly. 'An unchanged person...? She must be new.' Self-conciously, Fiona touched the fuzz on her arms.

"Yeah... I'm Fiona." she mumbled impatiently, the newcomer's gaze raking across her changes making the girl uneasy. "New, eh? Take my advice- don't believe anything the scientists say. Every single thing that comes out of their mouths is a lie. You can't trust them." Fiona glanced around paranoidly. "In fact, you can't trust anyone here. There are cameras everywhere, and some of the people here... they're on their side."

"Don't ask me," she muttered, shifting her weight from foot to foot, restlessly. "But I'll tell you this. The only way to stop this insanity to work together. Nobody can deal with this alone. And my best friend in the whole world since I was six is imprisioned in those labs, behind an electric fence and stupid jerks with guns. They won't even like me see her. So don't let anyone convince you that the doctors are doing something good. Don't let anyone convince you that there's nothing worth fighting back for! Because the second you get comfortable, they'll take it all away."

She paused, frowning at the question. "I don't know. I never asked, just figured it out myself. I think they'll tell you, though- the sick ******** get some kind of sadistic pleasure out of it, I'll bet." Her upper lip curled in disgust. "What kind of person..." Fiona started to say, angrilly, but glanced at Ivy. "I'm sorry. I must seem insane. I'm just really pissed right now... I'm not normally... it's just... Annie..." the girl sighed and turned her eyes up to the cold, unfeeling structure of the laboratory. "I lost my best friend today... and I don't know if I'll ever see her again." Her tone became soft, sad, and guilty.

At first Fiona became stiff and rigid at the unexpected embrace, a part of her yelling to run, run! But then the girl relaxed and returned the hug, melting into that human comfort she needed so badly at that second. "I... I need to find people... who are willing to try. I don't want a war against the scientists. I just need someone... someone I can trust, someone to plan with and... anyone who can help me figure out how to get in there... I just..." she sniffled, suddenly overwhelmed with emotion. "I just want her... to be okay..." Her grip on Ivy tightened a little. "I hate it here." She had been strong for Angharad... strong for herself. For such a long time. But something had snapped inside of her. Some part of her spirit was broken.
