"I can't close them on anything without bones, Flora. I would have to use my wrists." Nothing.

●

"Your little nub wrists! How wonderful that sounds!" She whined softly in frustration. Door at the end of the hall? She tried that one.

2015-09-18 07:27:37

🌀

Nothing there either. His voice came from behind her, in the hall corner itself. "How would I bite people's necks like that though?"

2015-09-18 07:29:15

●

She turned towards the voice. "I'd help you. Why else would we escape together?"

2015-09-18 07:29:57

🌀

The gangly, night-haired boy stood there with his arms at his sides and two black eyes giving his face a perpetually shadowed look. "Because you didn't know how to stealth your way out and I couldn't beat up any guards."

2015-09-18 07:33:06

●

"And it wasn't because you care about me?" She winced in fake pain. "You wound me. I'm offended."

2015-09-18 07:35:08

🌀

"That too. But mostly because we couldn't have escaped at all without each other."

2015-09-18 07:36:32

●

She giggled again, her smile not quite reaching her mismatched colored eyes, dark circles lining them. "Which is why I found you! I win! Yay! What's my prize?"

2015-09-18 07:38:06

🌀

"Play again?"

2015-09-18 07:38:59

●

"I think play time would be over." A voice spoke. Alice stood a few feet from the two of them. She dressed messily, as if she was in a rush when putting clothes on.

Flora turned. "There you are! What took you so long? Why do you look like a hot mess?"

2015-09-18 07:42:44

🌀

He jumped a little, but his expression didn't change. "She swam here, Flora."

2015-09-18 07:43:43

●

"Oh just taking care of some...business with my little Spyders. Nothing you need to worry yourself with."

"Aw, but that's not fun."

2015-09-18 07:46:24

🌀

"How is he still alive? I thought somebody would've shoved him off a bridge by now."

2015-09-18 07:47:25

●

"Oh no no no. I would not dare let anyone do anything like that to my dear precious. Besides. He is why I'm here. I found leverage."

"Leverage toooo?"

"Guaranteeing our freedom."

2015-09-18 07:52:20

🌀

"Really. What'd you find, then, that would be worth our weight in sadistic experiments?"

2015-09-18 07:53:20

●

"Do you remember the girl who was the hunters' greatest case yet? The girl who managed to break into a facility in the first place? But it was all for naught because she died?"

"Yessss, but what about her?"

"She's still alive. Well, as close to alive as she can get. Alive and well."

2015-09-18 07:56:04

🌀

He tilted his head a little. "Didn't they...give her the sun disease?"

2015-09-18 07:57:43

●

"Yes. My sources tell me they did."

"You mean Spyders."

"Yes, and his little pet Louhkie. Who is a rather delicious feed. But, that is neither here nor there. I saw her myself. Living. Maybe not breathing, but living. At first I was going to kill her myself, but then I realized that she still has value to me. the hunters would do anything to get her, so why not trade her for our freedom? Of course, it won't be easy. Which is where you two come in. "

2015-09-18 08:01:21

🌀

A delicious pet human. His mouth filled with saliva at the thought. "Mmmm. What do we do? What's the plan, man?"

2015-09-18 08:04:54

●

"Track her down. Do what you two do best. Stay in the shadows. Watch. Find what she loves most, and take it. When you have it, offer it in exchange for her, then find me. I can handle the dirty work."

2015-09-18 08:06:57

🌀

He could do that. "What if there's nothing she loves? It's possible. And either way, she'll sense us."

2015-09-18 08:11:23

●

"I highly doubt that. Everyone has secrets. Everyone holds something dear. They just have to be foolish enough not to guard it well. As I have said. Stay in the shadows. Her senses only go so far, you just have to be careful."

Flora looked to Mia. "Sounds like an adventure. What do you think, Mia? Should we do it! I bet we'll have loads of fun."

2015-09-18 08:13:50

🌀

He shrugged. That wasn't really true. He didn't. "Sure. Why not. It isn't like she'll turn us back in if she does catch us. But I want to try the pet human."

2015-09-18 08:16:04

●

Alice giggled. "I'll see what I can do." She held out a piece of paper. "That's the address to an old house that no one has lived in for years. You can hide out there."

Flora took the paper. "Aw, our own home. We can be a happy couple pretending to be normal while we kill every last neighbor on the block~"

2015-09-18 08:21:26

🌀

"I think those are the same thing. Would chaining a dead dog to a stick in the front yard make us seem normal, or no?"
