"I guess I haven't had too much experience in this world to know why people are scared of the way a person looks."  She smiled with a slight glow to her cheeks, similar to a blush.  "I know what really scares me is the way people act or react to a situation.  The woman that produced me...before I was taken out and grown artificially that is...she wanted nothing to do with my upbringing, she said I was an experiment...nothing more.  Some of the lab assistants told me what she had said and it hurt in my chest.  All I ever knew was that my immune system was supposed to provide the cure to all ailments.  I wanted to make her proud, I wanted her to want me in her life...to say that she was pleased with me, but that day never came.  In the end, I never did see her so I just did my best to make the lab assistants proud of me...I worked hard to learn about what they were teaching me."  A few solitary tears ran down her cheeks as she continued to talk, cuddling up to the warmth of the lure body's arm.  "I was given the name Kitara...though some of the scientists that were closer to me called me by the name Kira.  You can refer to me by that name too if you like.  I was wondering if you have a name that others call you?"  She queried as she hugged herself to the lure crying softly before speaking again.  "You know, they fed me little chopped up things at the lab...meat and vegetable products.  They told me about how the meat came from animals and the vegetables came from the plants of the land...humans are animals too, right?  I guess it's not wrong to eat them when you have to survive, but seeing the girl struggle for her life while being devoured alive...it...it's just too sad.  I could smell her fear in the air and it frightened me how the woman swallowing her showed no regret, no feeling of guilt...she didn't comfort the girl or put her to sleep so she wouldn't feel scared...in fact I think that she actually took pleasure in the girl's suffering, enjoying every kick and scream as the girl had her final dying thoughts.  I'm scared of her cruel malevolent nature...I'm glad I have you to protect me, you're not monstrous...you're kind and warm to the touch, you actually care about my feelings even although we have never known each other until now."  Out of the corner of her eye...she seen a brief flicker of movement from the top of a fairly distant building and tilted her head slightly over the top of the lure body's shoulder...she thought nothing of it though, just assuming it was another person with Xylath and her associates.
