After she'd begun to actually get dressed for the day, Cali wondered about why she was so tangled up like that. It'd never happened before that she could remember. And then, it hit her like a frozen steak. Hunger. Unimaginable hunger. Even thinking of it now sent her searching through her desk drawers for the beef jerky and can of coke she'd left in there yesterday. As she munched on the jerky, the blonde girl had managed to remember more of her dream.
Flesh. She had been hungry for human flesh in her dream last night, and had consumed her little sister. Her precious little sister. Even the thought of it made the jerky in her stomach turn. Cali grabbed her robe and rushed to the door, intending to run to the communal kitchen for the carbonated water she kept in her lock drawer. As she flung the door open though, she saw something on the ground in front of her door.
A little too late to stop her forward motion, the girl ended up doing a crazy flip to sidestep whatever it was, ending up face first on the ground staring at it. A plant? There was a small stick in it that read Dionaea Ebola. Dionaea was a name that Cali certainly knew of the top of her head, and that meant that this little guy was probably a member of the venus flytrap crew. But Ebola was a different story. She knew it was a disease, but also it was her house name? Maybe it was some kind've gift for their house, bred specifically?
But who would go through the trouble? There was no one else in the hall with her, and no other plants around that she could see. Shrugging her shoulders, and forgetting about her stomach problems entirely, Cali gingerly grabbed the little plant and took it into her room, setting it on her desk while she got ready for the day. Looks like she had a new project!
