Jess woke with a start and took a moment to realize she was alone in bed. Jumping up, she grabbed the Human's phone and jammed it into her denim shorts pocket, then darted down the hall to where she saw Yumi making breakfast, her pet Wolf happily eating away at his own food. Looking around she spotted the Human sitting on the couch, sitting still and watching TV.<br/><br/>"I can't believe you're up before me." she said, peering over her shoulder, "Smells good." She then glanced over at the Human who sat on the couch, adding, "What do you think he eats?"<br/><br/>"I'm not deaf." Lex said without taking his eyes off of the screen, "If you don't mind I'll eat whatever you are cooking." This made Jessica jump, her ears folding back on her head.<br/><br/>"He can talk?" She whimpered, "In our language?"<br/><br/>"Again, I'm sitting right here." he said, this time, turning to look at her, "I have a name. It's Lex. Lexington Gage."<br/><br/>With adrenaline running high, Jessica summoned her courage and crossed the room to sit on the couch beside him. Lex shifted uncomfortably away from her, wincing slightly as a dull throb began in his back but died quickly.<br/><br/>"Are you okay?" She asked.<br/><br/>"No." he said. It was finally something that he was sure of. A definite answer, "Who are you?"<br/><br/>"Jessica Foxheart. You can call me Jess." she said with a smile. He found it odd to see a smile on an elongated snout of a fox. It didn't look bad, just strange to see an animal smile. Her smile quickly faded to a look of concern and she directed her eyes to the floor, "So are you a good Human or a bad Human?" Lex stared at her for a moment, unsure of what to say.<br/><br/>"Good I suppose. Humans are good mostly. Some are bad but they get punished eventually I guess." he said, then shook his head, "Wait. What's going on here? Where am I?!"<br/><br/>His sudden outburst made Jess jump from her spot and move around the coffee table, seemingly frightened.<br/><br/>"Whoa, calm down! I'm not going to hurt you!" She said. Lex sighed again.<br/><br/>"I'm surprisingly calm considering the circumstances." he said, "All I remember is talking to someone at my own school, then I fall from a two story height into some boxes. Thank God for Yumi or I'd still be out there and probably dead by now from pneumonia." He takes a breath, "I have no idea where I am or why everyone here is different than me. I don't know why I'm here or how to get back." He fought a lump in his throat that refused to go away, "My life is falling apart and I'm calmed down. I shouldn't be, but I am. It hurts to be otherwise." Jessica's expression softened and she sat beside him once more, her fear of him lessening.<br/><br/>"We can help you. Just let us know what we can do." she said. With her words, the sound of a truck was heard outside pulling into the driveway...
