I had heard the door open and close, and snice it had been raining, I was prepared. I came in with another bottle of hot water, which I quickly splashed on her. "That storm must have been unpleasant." I said, offering her my hand. "If you want, there's a bathroom upstairs, you could take a hot bath or something to warm up." I offered. Even though the years had hardened me, I was not completely without courtesy.
 
I managed to get to my feet without help, and i felt through my entire bodt exaustion like nothing else. "I don't think so. Just direct me to any extra bedroom you may have, and don't expect to see me till tomarrow." I said, stumbeling slightly. I was colder then heck, and tired... at least I'd be dry soon...
 
"nah" I said, grabbing my extra outfits and backpack. The backpack was extremly heavy with me in my weakened condition, but i stumbeled down the hallway, just managing to get into the bedroom, set the clothes and backpack aside, close the door, and was asleep before i even hit the bed...
 
The next morning, I woke up in my usual stupor, but I had a bottle of mountain dew in the mini fridge I kept in my room, so it wasn't going to last very long. It seemed just like any other day, I got out of bed, and dressed like normal, and walked out of the room, slowly sipping on the highly caffenated soda...
 
I had woken up a bit before anyone around, and I couldn't hear anything, possibly because of the heated water coming from the shower that I was currently in. I had locked the door, and since there was a shower curtin as well, I was enjoying myself for now...
 
I took another sip of mountain dew, not even hearing Diana thanks to my morning stupor as I walked past her, and opened the door to the bathroom (which never seemed to lock right) and walked in, closing the door softly behind me....
 
I didn't notice antyhing, as I was in total bliss from the shower. Hot water in large amounts always had this effect on me, it never actually changed. Not that I minded, as it was very rare that I was ever in contact with enough hot water to calm me..
 
Without asking Robert, I ventured out to the van, peering in the windows. There didn't seem to be anyone in there, so I opened the back. The sides of the van were decorated with shelves full of different nic-nacs that I didnt have a clue what they did. All but one thing. A tube the bore the same label as the toxin that made me stuck...
 
I looked up at the shower stall, and the shock did more than caffene ever could. Soundlessly, fearing for my life, I slowly reached back towards the doorknob, hoping to escape without incident...
 
I finally decided enough was enough, and turned off the water, extending one hand to pluck a bathrobe from a nearby hanger, and i came out wearing it tightly wrapped around me. I was too soothed by the water to notice anything, but I looked totally diffrent now. The black hairspray and the headband I used to keep it looking short were gone, revealing long, brown hair with reddish-blond highlights. The green lipstick I used had also come off, and I had removed my green contacts, revealing deep, bluish green eyes.
 
I noticed all this, but in that instant, everything snapped. I remembered how she had gone berserk earlier over Diana insulting her, so for something like this... I was outside the bathroom, and had plunged through the open window in the hallway before I knew what had happened...
 
I had not noticed any of this, and after a few minutes of working wiht my hair, contacts, and lipstick, I came out of the bathroom looking exactly like I did when I had first encountered them, and in one of my extera outfits. I moved over to the window, looked down, and saw Robert there. "And just what are you doing in a posion ivy patch?" I asked..
 
I prefered the Ivy to a berserk raptor, and since I figured myself relatively safe here, since the fall hadn't hurt me, I said "Running before you noticed that I was in there... Frankly, I think you look better with brown hair." I said calmly, though prepared to run away when she realised what I had just said...
 
That took a bit to process, and I slowly backed away from the window, sprinkiling a bit of cold water on my hand. as withen a matter of moments a raptor lept out the window, landing next to the ivy without effort...
 
I had already taken off, easily darting through the trees, as I mentally thanked all my freerunning practice, and all the falls i had taken learning the sport. I had an idea, if a slight one. She had only seen my cursed form once, and briefly. In the state of shock she had to be in at the time, she might not recognize it if she saw it again...
 
Withen moments, I was after him, gaining on him with all the speed of a raptor, when suddenly, my mind went totally blank. he had run away. therefore, he was prey...
 
I was easily keeping my pace, I didn't need to go much faster to reach my goal in time. I jumped up as I ran, bouncing off of a tree to change direction quickly, and dove into a thick patch of leaves with purple on them. I'd break out in one heckof a rash later, but it was better than being eaten...
