The young girl laughed slightly. "Yeah, chain ourselves to the trees and make picket signs." She listened to him quietly, hands locking behind her head. "Yeah, I think some people are stupid. Like how the forests are being clear-cut just for more homes. People don't know when to stop."

"People are stupid I agree." Ian shuddered as a memory came up unbidden. "Do you want to explore the rest of the forest with me? You seem to apreciate the finer aspect of what's around us." He moved away from the tree and looked into the deeper shade of the trees. "There are so many things that could be here, yet to be discovered."

Amaya grinned and nodded, following Ian. "Of course! I was exploring earlier, but stopped to rest and listen to some music." It was nice to meet someone who cared so deeply about nature and respected it like she did.

Ian led Amaya deeper into the jungle until they reached what seemed to be the center of it. "Listen," Ian said into the silence. "This is near the center of the jungle. According to myth, the creatres passed secrets through the center of the forest. "Maybe if we listen we can hear some of those secrets." There was an odd glint in Ian's green eyes as he stared out into the jungle seeming to be listening intently.

Stopping behind Ian, she listened in silence. The animals of the carribean called out to each other in their own native tounges, chatting about gossip and the goings on in the jungle. It was peaceful here... so peaceful Amaya could probably just fall asleep listening to them chatter.

Ian also listened, quieting his breathing so it couldn't be heard amongst the noises of the animals. It was so calming listening to the sounds that were so natural and untouched by the influence of man. Sitting against a trunk of a tree Ian closed his eyes to better enjoy the influence of the fresh air.

Instead of finding something to sit on, Amaya simply flung herself back and landed with a thud in the lush grass. Sprawling on her back, she stared up at the canopy before closing her eyes to listen.
Though after awhile, she broke the silence in almost a whisper. "Do you know what your turning into yet?"

Ian shook his head, the realized that with his eyes closed he didn't know if Amaya was looking at him or not. "No, not yet. I've been wondering but am actually rather afraid to find out. I'll probably ask after I change a little bit like some of the others." Ian shuddered a bit at that. "Do you know what you're going to be?"

"Same here..." Amaya's words were soft and drawn out, like she was only partially there. "Lauren knows, but she won't tell me even when I got the courage to ask her. She wanted me to fork over my CD player just to find out." Her brow furrowed even though her eyes were closed, blocking green orbs from sunlight.

"Lauren..." Ian frowned trying to remember how he knew that name...Oh yeah! "I met her, she and Moreau met me at the helipad....she drove the jeep." A bit of fear had crept into his voice. "I never again want to be in a vehicle she is driving...then Moreau let her give me the injection....She is rather creepy...And she tried to get your CD player? I'm sure some of the other lab techs will tell you for free."

"Yeah, I know..." Amaya glared up at nothing, using an arm to shield her eyes. "She seemed so nice when I arrived here, then I met up with her again and she's a totally different person. I dunno what to think."

Ian sighed inwardly "When I first got here I was a completely different person too...this island changes people. Perhaps for the worst, but for me...I'm not sure if it's better or not." Ian opened his eyes to stare into the jungle. "I've noticed the other people I've met changing as well - and not just physically."

"Really? How?" The young girl pushed herself to a sitting position, looking up at him. She didn't know anyone before the Island or really notice changes since she was only here for about two weeks.

Ian looked to the side and shifted uncomfortably. "I was....very.....antisocial I guess. Didn't really talk to anyone. I preferred to keep to myself. Now I find it easier just to talk to the people here..and hope I don't scare them. I've scared three or four of the people I've met."

Emerwyn felt sick. Her thoughts were positively swimming with all the things Greer had told her the day before. Visions of her horrible dream flashed before her face, seeming as tangible as the trees that she now walked through. This forest was gorgeous. She hadn't been around this many trees since before she moved into the city... She only did beacause of her job... She loved the trees. They were the perfect example of how something as small as a simple thought can evolve into something large, grand, full of life. And they supplied so much life. And were so beautiful.
She must have been walking for a couple of hours when she heard voices off to the right. She drifted in their direction, ever so slightly, not wanting to intrude.
