Fallynâ€™s head snapped up when she heard a voice. On the other side of the door. She stared at it for a long while, deliberating. Her eyes closed, her senses reaching out. She could hear others, moving around the area, talking amongst themselves. Footsteps, breathing, heartbeats. Her silvery eyes flashed open, her gaze immediately drawn to the green LED light.<br/><br/>She could smell food. The delicious, warm kind. Not the dietary supplements and vitamins she was used to. Her stomach clenched painfully, reminding her she hadnâ€™t eaten in three days. The drugs were still in her system, nausea rolling her stomach at the same time it demanded sustenance.<br/><br/>A whimper leaving her, she stood shakily, the blood returning to her legs with prickling like needles. She took two steps toward the door, and placing her hand on it.<br/><br/>A thought occurring to her, she reached back and felt the back of her shirt. Two lines of weak Velcro went through the cloth. She considered keeping her oddity a secret. The way she pressed them along the curves of her back, they were completely undetectable.<br/><br/>Comfortable about this, she reached for the doorknob again. She took two breaths before finally turning it and yanking it open simultaneously. The air rushed from the abrupt movement, ruffling her hair and clothes.<br/><br/>A hallway. Fallyn stuck her head out the door, looking right. More doors. She looked left. A few doors down looked like stairs. Hesitantly, she stepped into the hall, leaving the door opened a crack behind her as she made her way cautiously down the hallway, her footsteps making no sound at all.<br/><br/>The monochrome girl stopped at the top of the short stairs leading down into the living area. Just beyond it appeared to be a kitchen. The area was full of people. Strange people. People Fallyn wasnâ€™t used to.<br/><br/>A boy who didnâ€™t look the least bit like a scientist, with two strange furry triangles atop his head, and a long furry appendage swaying behind him. She remembered Father teaching her that some animals had things called tails. The boy had one like that.<br/><br/>There was a girl like him, with the weird triangles and tail. She sat on the couch, some black rectangle thing in her hand. She was pretty, Llyn decided.<br/><br/>Another girl with the reddest hair Llyn had ever seen. She had a â€˜tailâ€™ like the other two, but it wasnâ€™t furry, but it looked more like it was armored with steel. It was sort of scary. Her skin had a strange grayish cast to it. She didnâ€™t look anything like the female scientists she was familiar with. She was sitting in a big chair in the living room.<br/><br/>Another girl. She stood awkwardly, uncertain. She had a furry tail too, but no ears. There was something about her that made Fallyn want to stay away from her, but she wasnâ€™t sure what.<br/><br/>Yet another girl, very different from the others. Fallynâ€™s eyes were drawn to her because she had blue hair. Fallyn had never seen anyone with blue hair before. Upon a closer inspection, she noted that the girl had fish-like fins on the sides of her head instead of ears. She was sitting with food in front of her, looking down, not meeting anyoneâ€™s gaze.<br/><br/>And another boy. The only other one there. He sat on a stool next to the couch, a plate in his hands. Fallyn noted that his fingers tapered to sharp black claws. Black pointed horns grew from his hair, even stranger than the triangles the other two had. He also had a tail, black and reptilian looking. But what held her attention were the bat-like wings that extended from his back. She recalled a picture sheâ€™d been shown once of something called a dragon. Thatâ€™s what he reminded her of.<br/><br/>She eyed him curiously a bit longer than the others. Her bluish-silver eyes blinked inquisitively, her head tilting the tiniest degree. â€œYouâ€™re most like me.â€ She told him childishly. Her hand rose to point to his wings.
