I noticed this, and as soon as she lay down, I cupped my hands, trying to get enough water in them to splash her with. I wasn't sure what she could be thinking, but I was not going to take any chances. I had to be very careful though, I also had to look out for Diana. Since the curse, she had become almost like a little sister to me...
 
At her innarticulate 'Gwaaa' I looked down and noticed what had happened to diana. "Great, just great..." I muttered to myself. I was still worried, but if worst came to worst, she wouldn't be aware when it happened. I had caught enough water in my hands by now, all I had to do was splash her...
 
I looked over at the pair, and made a small chirping sound, pretty much a "I'm not going to hurt you" I was actually enjoying my raptor form, though I didn't know why. I looked over into a nearby mirror and looked at the coloration of my mussle. I was a female raptor. better then the alternative.
 
I sighed, relaxed by the lack of aggression towards us now I looked back at diana, and after turning off the flow of hot water, hefted her up onto my shoulder. "I need to make sure Diana here didn't break anything." I said to the raptor-girl, (I really needed to ask her name) as I stepped out of the shower stall.
 
I watched him, mentally praying that he wouldn't make any sudden movements.nothing that would make him look like food. it was everything I could do not to blank out when he had hefted the girl over his shoulder...
 
"Probably a concussion." I commented, walking slowly, but steadily out of the room. I knew what she had said earlier, and though I wasn't trying to be annoying, I let out enough confidence that should negate any feeling of being prey...
 
I watched him, and finally just moved onto my side and dropped into a doze, trying to get some rest after the events of the day. But I couldn't stop thinking aobut what would happen if somebody else found me. I would be shot....
 
I stopped momentarily, and turned to face her. "Do you want some hot water? It must be inconveniant to be in that form. I know I never want to spend any longer than neccisary in my cursed form." I said, honestly trying to help.
 
I shook my head, then suddenly glansed back as i heard a call of somebody through a megaphone "ready men? soon as we see the reptilian, try for a kill shot, keep to as little pain as possible." I knew somebody was going to try coming in to force me out, and I shivered, and gave the boy a pleading look to hide me...
 
I recognized the look, but I misinterpretted what she wanted, and quickly got a cup of hot water, which I splashed on her. "There," I said, still lifting diana easily. "Now they won't be able to find you."
 
I sighed, and said "it's one way to do it, I guess" before moving to the front door. I knew I had to keep calm, and stay away from water at all costs if I was going to stay alive... Though I probably should of just hopped out the window and let myself get shot..
 
I had set down diana on a couch, and went after the girl. "So, what are you going to do with your life now?" I asked. I hoped that she would help our cause, to stop Spitec from reuining other people's lives as they had our own, but I couldn't force anyone to help us, and even if I could, then I'd be as bad as Spitec. "I'm Robert, by the way, I don't think i ever got your name either."
 
"name's Shauni. some call me Jade." I said, finally getting to the door, where a military officer was waiting. After a somewhat heated discussion, I convinced him that there was no dinosaur here, and if it had been here, then I didn't see it. Even after he left I didn't answer Robert's question about what I intended to do with my life...
 
"So, what do you plan to do?" I asked, leaning against the door frame. "Will you carve out your existance elsewhere, however you can with your curse, or would you like to help us, in our belated effort to stop Spitec?"
 
"I prefer dying" I said, moving away, trying to wind down. The events withen the last hour were getting to be a bit much, I needed some time to sit and get to know my way around in case of emergency....
 
"Well, that's as likely to happen as not with us." I said, not put off by this. I had some... 'trouble' with my extednded family in the past, and the thought of someone committing suicide wasn't really that foriegn to me. To be truthful, I was suprised that none of us had when we were cursed. Still, I didn't really think any of us were strong enough to do it...
 
I turned over my arm, revealing deep scars in my wrist. "have yet to cut the vein. Got a knife?" I asked calmly, my eyes saying I wasn't joking, at all. I wanted to die. there were no jokes, and if I couldn't do it now, I'd do it tonight while they were sleeping. better yet I'd slice myself as a raptor...
 
"nope, and if you want to kill yourself, you could at least help us in the process." I said. My cynicisim towards people who were on the brink had sometimes suprised them to the point where they backed down. I didn't expect it to work in this case, but I actually meant what I said...
