In this remote land of snow and chilly nights even in the summertime this was equal with the boogey man, the worst fear of innocent souls, even if they suspected the threat was not an actual danger, but rather a projection of their parents' strong hand.<br>Well, it was a bit different here, between the mountains. As rumours wandered around slipping on silent feet, telling about missing people, wounded people, people who saw <em>something</em>... Something undescribable.<br><br>Of course, every institute has its own problems. But for the 'Shelter of Lost Lambs' there was only one concrete problem existing: the possible escape of patients. What happened in every two or three years, sometimes they managed to "re-collect", sometimes not... And those 'not'-s provided enough base for such strong fear that made every villager and traveller avoid the paths that led to the old, gray-white castle and its garden. Only soil to grow sinners and sins - as old ones said.<br><br>If somebody, nurse or doctor was <em>invited</em> to work here and accepted the offer AND stayed longer than one week, the applicant had to make a vow to keep everything he or she experience there as things that never happened. Moreover, they couldn't compose and send letters, couldn't write a diary, every attempt to make their workplace more real than ghost-news was consumed by fire in the director's office... <br>What director? What sort of office? Where?...<br><br>Inventions of the outside world <em>seemingly</em> didn't manage to get here, stucked halfway, covered by snow and rejection, telegramm and telephone were myths, newspapers and magazines are tales... The only thing that was left for them was each other as staff, their curiousity and deep desire to learn and understand - plus, of course, those patients.<br><br>Just like...<br><br><br><br><br><strong>/And here's the place for our first volunteer to tell about his/her character/s/. In these first posts please place 'PATIENT: patient's name' and/or 'STAFF: staff member's name' first! <br>Thanks ;)<br></strong><br><br><br>

				STAFF: Dr. Allen Raker <br><br>Specializing in biochemestry and medical gene therapy seemed to have been a mistake. Every grant or loan offer he'd turned to laughed at his theories and scoffed at his testing proposals. Years of working odd jobs to keep afloat didn't seem to be doing him any favors either. An eviction notice seemed to be the final nail in his coffin. Oddly, it seemed as though something were attatched to it. An envelope. "The Shelter for Lost Lambs?" he muttered under his breath. He crossed the barrier that was his home for what seemed the last time. Promises of research specimens, experiment oriented atmospheres and provided living expenses danced in his head like a siren's call. Days later, saying his final farewells to his possessions, landlord and thankfully bills, Dr. Raker found himself in front of Monster Mountain castle. "This place doesn't look so bad." He commented, recalling village warnings and rumors about the place.<br><br>Allen was a modest man in many ways. While tall, he did not tower over anyone and while it was evident he worked out it wasn't overtly obvious. Standing at about 6'1" he wore half rimmed glasses over his hazel brown eyes. Light brown hair only barely sprouted an inch from his scalp. An average sized, upwards angled nose sat above severely chapped lips. Apparently the stress had driven him to habitually biting said lips. He wasn't exactly in mountain gear. He looked more like a suit-esque guy going in for a meeting or an interveiw, briefcase replaced by a duffel bag. Glancing about in a concerned manner, "I wonder if I was supposed to wait out here for someone?"

				Staff:&nbsp; Head Nurse Tanya Rathlyn and a brief intro to the "Twins"&nbsp; Blaine (played by me as well) and Elaine (played by Lady Shia)<br><br>The right half of the very large cast iron door swung open allowing a woman wearing a white nurses uniform to step out of the comparatively darkness of the foyer out into the late morning sunshine.&nbsp; The nurse stood a little over 5'10" tall with a naturally beautiful god given body that most fashion models out in the 'outside' world would and have paid good money to obtain.&nbsp; Her long dark red hair was tied up in what some would consider a very tight bun just below the edge of her gleaming white nurses hat.&nbsp; Her deep amber eyes flecked with gold appraised the man that stood before her before a wan smile barely touched the corners of her mouth.&nbsp; The smile was not exactly warm nor was it unfriendly... simply indifferent.&nbsp; Over the years she had seen many men and women doctors alike arrive at the front door... very few of them ever stayed.&nbsp; "Dr. Allen Raker I presume?&nbsp; I am Tanya Rathlyn head nurse of these facilities.&nbsp; Before I show you to your quarters so that you may get settled in I was asked to 'introduce' you to a couple of our very unique guests.&nbsp; Please follow me."&nbsp; Nurse Rathlyn led Dr. Raker down the entry hall and into the castle proper.&nbsp; She took the good doctor towards the back of the hall were there were two large steal doors that opened up into the service elevator.&nbsp; Once they were in the service elevator and she had pressed the lowest of the unmarked down buttons she said, "I am about to show you Elaine and her twin brother Blaine their room is located in the lowest level of this facility where we house our most deadly 'guests'.&nbsp; Blaine and Elaine were brought here as very small children... very soon after their birth as the records show."&nbsp; The door to the elevator opened to the sterile white walls of a long hallway.&nbsp; Nurse Rathlyn stopped in front of a blank wall and opened a small control panel.&nbsp; After pressing in the security code the walls slid open to reveal a large window that looked down into the room of Blaine and Elaine.&nbsp; Down below in the stark white walled room below were two creatures.&nbsp; Both of them with the average height of a human, not tall, not short,&nbsp; both with human faces and something like a waist, the rest is only a group of tentacles -shorter and longer, thick and thin.&nbsp; Tanya studied the Dr.'s reactions to his first good look at the twins as she said, "The one with the light purple skin and breasts is Elaine.&nbsp; &nbsp;She cannot hear, speak or see but I can guarantee that she knows we are up here watching them... see how she looks like she is looking up directly at us?&nbsp; Seen up close her purplish eyes can be almost hypnotizing.&nbsp; Blaine the dark purple one with black splotchs has no eyes only dark purple skin in his deep eye sockets as you will see soon enough when he too looks up towards us.&nbsp; Blaine can hear.&nbsp; He can hear so well in fact that if they were not kept in this sound proof room he would have heard us perfectly when I was speaking to you at the front door despite the fact that we are about 6 stories below the castle proper.&nbsp; Blaine can speak somewhat but it is very limited and only when he chooses to do so.&nbsp; Your primary charge will be Elaine but I must warn you, never try to come between them.&nbsp; They have an incredible love and inseparable bond between.&nbsp; The last poor soul who tried was literally squeezed into not much more than a bloody pulp.&nbsp; One last warning then you may ask me any questions you may have about them never ever underestimate them.&nbsp; All of our tests have indicated that they are both highly intelligent they trust and like no one except each other although there have been times when I felt like Elaine actually tolerates my company.&nbsp; Any questions before I show you to your quarters?"

				Allen moved forwaerd to meet Tanya when he noticed the door opening. The near goddess that approached him seemed a bit disconnected with his presence, but the observation was quickly purged from his mind. He was no psyche major.<br><br>&nbsp;"You presume correctly," he replied as he extended a hand in greeting. As it went ignored while the nurses instructions continued, Allen seemed a little embarassed. Embarassment gave way to concern. "'Unique' guests?" He quizzed, but then hurried to follow the nurse. They'd not be starting him easy, that was for sure.<br><br>&nbsp;Allen followed Nurse Rathlyn to the service elevator, all the while glancing about the castle like a lost boy.&nbsp; Once they were in the service elevator and she had pressed the lowest of the unmarked down buttons he replied "'Deadly guests? Children? How unique are they?" Allen couldn't help but feel a bit of on eerie chill as he walked down that bleached hall, the security panel adding to his anxiety.&nbsp;<br><br>"My word..." Allen said as the walls slid open. He had to rub his eyes beneath his glasses to make sure they weren't playing tricks on him. As Tanya spoke, his eyes bounced between Elaine and Blaine respectively, glancing up every so often in disbelief. "I want access to all of your data on both of them. Blood work, diet, physical assessments, sleeping habbits... all of it." He mused, staring intently at Elaine. "And I may need you to introduce me to my charge."

				ROOM FOR BLAINE &amp; ELAINE<br><br>Suddenly that pale purplish skin stretched, changing the neutral expression of Elaine's face into a rather longing one and slowly she lifted one of her upper tentacles - to point <em>right</em> into the direction of Nurse Tanya... while another feeler, similar like the one she already used slid over one of her breats, her rare blinks became a bit more frequent as her mouth opened, just like asking for something, something untold for the new physician but something very familiar for this experienced and wise woman.<br>Yes, her modell-like features and cuvers were accompanied with a calmed and kind radiation and that must have been felt even through such a thick window, even for a weird creature like the twins were.<br>It seemed like his future protege not only 'tolerated' but loved Rathlyn, which, listening to their cruel story, wasn't a surprise at all.<br>One more detail: few of the tentacle girl's other limbs were constantly entwined with a couple of her brothers, who...<br><br><br>/Feel free to continue, dear Nim ;)<br><br>

				Allen watched Blaine and Elaine, eyes un blinking as he came to terms with the fact that no amount of rubbing them would change the image before him. He could be caught adjusting his glasses as Nurse Rathlyn addressed him. "Expect to see me tonight then." He didn't quite understand what was happening in there himself, but he was certain that would change soon. He turned when the nurse spoke again, to look at her and then back at the pair. He nodded, pushing the glasses closer to his face. "Indeed. There's no sense in delaying the introductions."

				Patient: Relina<br>Location: Relina's room<br><br>Relina had been tranquilized when she had been brought to the "Shelter of Lost Lambs" a week before. To their credit the people who had been sent to collect her had tried to convince her to come peacefully before resorting to knocking her out. She had simply refused to leave her comfortable home in a beautiful mountain valley far from here. A big movie studio wanted her valley to film their next big production. When they discovered her living there they called the Shelter. <br><br>In the week since arriving Relina had calmed down a bit. They had clipped the feathers of her beautiful wings like people did with their pet birds so she could no longer fly. She had been fighting them tooth and nail, never harming any of them but not making things easy either. She was still trying to fight but honestly she was becoming depressed and really just wanted some fresh air. Relina couldn't help but think they had put her in a room with a window that didn't open to taunt and torture her. At that moment she was sitting in the window on the sill. Her long, silver fox tail with a black tip slowly swayed back and forth. Her tall, pointed fox ears, also silver with black tips, that normally stood up straight were turned to the side. Her beautiful Human face held a forlorn expression as did her lovely amethyst eyes. Aside from her ears, tail and wings she had Human features. Her breasts were a nice size, not overly large but not small either. Her body was slim and graceful, her every movement smooth and lovely to behold. She sighed softly to herself then her ear twitched when she heard the beep at her door, announcing someone was unlocking it and coming in. Relina's purple eyes hardened and her tail twitched with irritation. She reached up to brush some of her long silver hair out of her face as she looked over at the door to see who it was.

				With the close proximity of the Nurse and the Doctor the sound proofing of the room was not completely effective against Blaine's hearing.&nbsp; Blaine had heard the two speaking and had a good idea of where each were standing.&nbsp; So it was when his sister let go of his limbs and moved forward to be closer he followed but when she stopped he continued to move closer to the wall stopping only a foot away and standing opposite to the stranger that was with Tanya.&nbsp; One long thick limb shot up and slapped the wall directly in front of where the doctor was standing looking into their room.&nbsp; Blaine shook his head adamantly as he spoke saying in a very deep guttural voice, "You no come!!"&nbsp; Then to make sure his point was clear all but a few of his limbs that he needed to keep himself supported while up right lifted into the air and began to waive and weave in and out in a threatening manner.<br><br>Tanya who was still looking at Elaine even after Blaine hit the wall with one of his tentacles turned and looked at Blaine when she heard or rather felt the deep vibrations of his voice.&nbsp; The head nurse watched Blaine for a moment longer before saying, "Ok Blaine no new visitors today.&nbsp; Tell Elaine I shall be coming shortly."&nbsp; On the other side of the very thick wall of glass Blaine nodded and lowered his limbs.&nbsp; Tanya reached over to the open control pad on the wall and tapped in the code that would close the observation window and set the locks with her own personal pass codes so that no one could open it again while she was in with her patient.&nbsp; &nbsp;Once the walls were completely closed over the window Tanya turned and looked at Dr. Raker and said, "I am sorry Doctor but I was obviously wrong about them wanting us to visit soon.&nbsp; So for now that would leave you with two choices.&nbsp; You can either wait for me here or you can go to your quarters which are on the third floor of the castle.&nbsp; Just take the service elevator step out of the elevator turn right.&nbsp; The door to your quarters is the 6th one on the right.&nbsp; Your quarters face the east so you will have a wonderful view of the sunrise.&nbsp; If you do decide to go I'll send for you when I am finished here.&nbsp; I truly am sorry Doctor Raker.&nbsp; I know that you must have at least a million and one questions but I must ask you to please be patient... Elaine needs me now."&nbsp; Tanya turned and walked briskly down 6 steps down the hall before stopping and opening another panel and tapping in another code.&nbsp; There was a woosh of air as the door opened then another as it closed quickly behind Tanya after she had entered.&nbsp; Tanya quickened her pace as she walked the 20 feet to the end of the next short hall that was the hallway between the rooms of the guests.&nbsp; At the door to Elaine and Blaine's room Tanya tapped in another code and let herself into their room listening as the door closed swiftly behind her.&nbsp; <br><br>While Tanya had been talking to the doctor Blaine turned back towards his sister and said, ~<em>Tanya will come alone sister mine... she said she would be here shortly</em>~

				Allen's eyes crossed paths as their focus quickly shifted to that incoming tentacle. When Blaine slapped the glass, Allen reeled as though it was he who were hit. <em>Was that...really necessary?</em> was all he could think. His brows lofted in suprize and intrigue when Blaine shifted into his threatening manner. Tanya's words broke Allen's revere of Blaine's control. Much as he wanted to interject, it was probably for the best that he wasn't given an opportunity. Allen listened intently to the directions given to him and left for his quarters. His time would be better spent settling in than waiting around for an indeterminate amount of time.

Is that possible?? - Elaine let the vivid little spark burn her mind once again but then all this, their circumstances, their whole miserable world neither Rathlyn, nor her brother could change fade away as she heard HER approach so very close! Almost running to the door, of course in her style as one of the few words she owned left her mouth in a weird, numb tone, but surely with pure happiness.<br>"Mother!"<br>

				Caretaker: Arik<br>Location: Relina's room<br><br>One of the few newcomers to the mountain's institution was a young man that got along fairly well with many, though of course only with those that were obviously not dangerous to the well-being of a human being.&nbsp; The redhead moved down slowly through the halls from the cafeteria, to the new-arrival wing.&nbsp; Here, things were a bit more serious: barred windows, yet fairly large rooms that allowed one to walk around at least a little.&nbsp; But the new entrants to the facility were only slowly and gradually aclimitized to their new surroundings, and this one had merely been here a week.<br><br>The doctors, for all their intelligence, had decided, finally, to send him in for some reason.&nbsp; Personally.&nbsp; He hadn't heard a good reason from the doctors as to why he'd been chosen, but to be honest he doubted very much that they could come up with one.&nbsp; Arik, on the other hand, had one idea that everyone had been far too nice to actually say themselves.<br><br>The young man, for lack of a better term?&nbsp; He was basically expendable.&nbsp; After all, why else send someone into a room with a 'monster' in it that could very well be hostile?&nbsp; He sighed softly as he reached the door that was marked with a name upon a plaque above the door.&nbsp; "Relina," he mouthed, the word escaping along with his breath, but no sound to go along with it.&nbsp; Perhaps he was a monster as well, considering the way that he couldn't speak despite the fact that no one could tell him why that was.<br><br>It didn't matter, though.&nbsp; He turned the handle of the door and let himself inside the room, the beep sounding and alerting the person within, closing it behind him where it would lock on its own.&nbsp; He glanced about slowly to find the one that was assigned to this room, and he found her after a moment.&nbsp; But what did he see, rather than some grotesque monster that some of them around the institute often appeared to be?&nbsp; An attractive woman in the window sill, who was just watching the sky outside and the scenery of the mountain itself.<br><br>He swallowed softly, anxiety threatening to make itself known.&nbsp; Depending upon her sense of smell, on the other hand, it was probably too late to try and hide it.&nbsp; A small smile was given to her- a unique and attractive female she might be, but he was a little hesitant as evidenced by the slow footsteps he took towards her.&nbsp; Perhaps she wasn't entirely surprised by his being there, but he didn't want to make her think he was some sort of threat.&nbsp; He had heard just a little about what had happened to her before she'd been brought here and he didn't want a jumpy 'monster' to think he was trying to do anything to her.<br><br>In his hands, the tray was held between him and her.&nbsp; In the tray was a variety of food.&nbsp; The doctors had suggested that he try to get her to eat anything that she would or could, and so there was all sorts of food on it.&nbsp; An apple, an orange, some breed, cheese, a tomato even along with some deli meats of different kinds.&nbsp; The tray in his hands, he lifted, offering it to her before glancing around to see where he might be able to set it down for her. He couldn't see the table, though he was pretty sure it was in here somewhere.

				Relina was surprised to see the young man instead of one of the haughty doctors but she didn't show it. She could smell and sense his unease. She watched him come slowly nearer, his red hair intrigued her. She looked down at the tray with the food on it and her ears flicked back for a moment before standing up again. She didn't feel like eating. Mentally she really wasn't feeling well. She sighed and pointed to the table that still held the food that had last been brought in for her. She had moved the table over into the corner. It was cold and metal, like everything in the room except the mattress and blankets. She hated it. When he went to put the tray down she looked back out the window and said in her soft, silky voice, "Please tell them I still want to go outside... I need fresh air. This room is making me sick. Not that they will care... but please tell them anyway."

				The young man smiled softly to her- though uneasy, he couldn't help but to be a bit worried for his 'charge'.&nbsp; He'd been assigned to her and the doctors had told him to try and make her happier- the depression that she'd been showing recently had been bothering the doctors, though none had taken the time to try and even ask her how they could help.&nbsp; He followed the direction she pointed him to, and he saw the table that still had the last tray of food on it and sighed.<br><br>Still, when she spoke, he couldn't help but to look back to her and smile softly.&nbsp; Fresh air was something that he was certain could be provided, but he didn't know if the doctors would be willing to let her outside, certainly not without supervision.&nbsp; Though her flight feathers had been clipped, he couldn't help but to wonder if she could still fly a little if she got enough altitude beneath those feathery expanses.<br><br>Arik considered the possibilities for a moment, and he nodded to her to acknowledge her request.&nbsp; Then, he glanced towards the camera that was installed nearest to them- there were several cameras, of course, and there had to be one trained on her at any given time.&nbsp; Most likely, all of them were.&nbsp; It was enough to make anyone think that perhaps those that were behind the cameras were thinking of certain things while they were watching her.&nbsp; He smiled slightly and turned to the camera, signing to it his willingness to be her 'escort' into the courtyard.<br><br>Several minutes would pass, and he glanced to the door.&nbsp; Would the doctors allow him to take her out of the room?

				Out of the corner of her eye she saw the young man using sign language at one of the strange things that was in the corner of her room near the ceiling. She knew sign language and knew what he said. She had wondered what those things were. It seemed he could talk to them through it. She gracefully got down from the window sill in a smooth movement, almost like she was flowing water rather than a moving being. She walked over to look at one of the cameras then looked at Arik, "What are these things? You can talk to them through them? Is it only through sign language or can they hear me?" Then she nearly jumped out of her skin as a voice came from thin air saying, "You may take her outside but take a shock weapon and set it on high. If she makes any move like she is going to try to run shoot her. We will be watching." Relina spun around, looking for who had spoken but no one was there. "Where are you? Who are you? Come out!" she said.

				Blaine &amp; Elaine's room:<br><br>"In her style as one of the few words she owned left her mouth in a weird, numb tone, but surely with pure happiness.<br>"Mother!" "<br><br>As always hearing herself being called mother stirred very strong emotional cords within Tayna.&nbsp; Walking straight over to Elaine Tanya wraps her arms around her and simply hugs her for a long moment before guiding her over to Elaine's bed.&nbsp; Tanya smiled as she sat down on the edge of Elaine's bed and started to unbutton her white blouse.&nbsp; With a deft swift movement of her fingers the bra that opens from the front.&nbsp; Tanya looks into Elaine's seemingly timeless and hypnotic purple sightless eyes as she whispers softly, "Ok sweetie I am ready."&nbsp; Tanya closes her eyes and for a moment thinks of the very first time she had held first Elaine then Blaine in her arms nearly 20 years ago...&nbsp; Naming the twins after her still born daughter Raine whom she had given birth to 6 months before the arrival of the twins at her first job as a nurse intern.&nbsp; <br><br>Blaine has also retreated to his own bunk feeling slightly better for having released a small portion of his bitterness and rage that besides his sister are his only companions.&nbsp; He knows that his sister disapproved of his recent behavior which adds a tinge of sadness to those feelings of release.&nbsp; But Elaine is all Blaine has to live and care for... if it had not been for Elaine Blaine would have given up on life long ago.&nbsp; Tanya's words to the other float into Blaine's thoughts.&nbsp; 'Brought here as children as the records show.'&nbsp; Yes children... infants to be exact.&nbsp; Blaine could remember it all... a great pain of being squished and pushed... a rush of cold air over exposed skin... someone... the doctor screams as he drops the new born to the cold marble floor.&nbsp; Minutes later his sister falls down on top of him.&nbsp; A man (their father) screaming get it out of here both of them... Blaine and Elaine as they had been named by the staff on monster mountain had then been swept into a small wooden create but not before their mother caught a glimpse of them and screamed in complete horror.&nbsp; In retrospect it was a wonder that the two of them had not just been tossed into the furnace or out into the forest to be devoured by animals.&nbsp; Blaine sometimes wonder if that would not have been more merciful than the life they now led.

				ROOM FOR BLAINE &amp; ELAINE<br><br>But Life was merciful, indeed, and guided the young nurse there, by the side of the constantly whimpering twins and when it seemed nothing could help the two to survive, finally it was Tanya's breasts, still ready to milk that brought the solution. She not only named them but also fed them day by day and so soon the strange little creatures were as strong as any other babies, growing safely in the tender attention of their new mother who shared her room, her feelings and thoughts with the siblings. This way she was the only person they still let close, moreover loved after all the experiments and torture they've suffered in the name of science, that even Nurse Rathlyn couldn't stop happening to them, only to soften the effects.<br><br>Each of the two reacted differently and changed in a different direction. While Blaine felt comfortable with the role of the protector more and more, raising his level of aggression and separating himself emotionally almost completely, Elaine somehow returned to their early days and continued to breastfeed from the woman that was family for them beside each other, of course. Because in her arms she could feel safe and secure again, no matter what waited for her the next day in the laboratory. Because her closeness, her touches made her feel home, even if they were far from that by now, living in the most remote corner of the whole institute.<br><br>One of her feelers was scanning the motherly body without a pause, the face, the wonderful softness, the gentle curves, sensitive enough to see and hear for her, telling what was happening... First the short, practiced move how she opened her shirt... Elaine smiled and cuddled up closer to her, leaning her nape against her arm, then that curious tentacle slowly slid upper to feel that nourishing smile now. Though she never had the fortune to see she learnt well what that meant: the nurse's happiness was like the warmth of Sun for her. And when she felt the exposed breasts knowing they were ready to feed her she, again, called out for her brother mentally. Elaine knew exactly how lonely and bitter her brother became and every time she tried to call him as well, to join and share this primal pleasure with her - the special bond they had with Tanya. She never began to suckle until his reponse arrived, instead she was just caressing the nurse's face with a grateful smile - a dangerous and monstrous creature nestling to her chest completely innocent... <br>

				He caught the way that she was looking at him- she showed understanding as he 'spoke' to the people behind the camera, in the security room.&nbsp; When she moved, he stopped signing and glanced over to her as she walked to the nearest camera to look at it, choosing one that was nearest to her rather than one near him.&nbsp; Arik blinked as she asked him a few questions.<br><br>His first response was, "Slow down, I can only answer like this." with his hands.&nbsp; "And yes, I can talk to the others who are watching you.&nbsp; We are all concerned about you becoming depressed.&nbsp; They can hear you, too, just like I can." he signed to her, and shortly after the voice came from the intercom that caused her to jump.&nbsp; Arik nodded at security's words, and he held up a single finger to the fox girl with wings, as if to tell her to wait a moment.<br><br>The young man walked back to the door and it buzzed to let him through.&nbsp; He closed the door for a moment, walking to the weapons locker down the hall and letting himself into it to get the shock weapon.&nbsp; Holding it in hand, it felt odd, honestly.&nbsp; He hadn't come to work here to shoot people, or monsters, really.&nbsp; But, he knew that some were definitely dangerous.&nbsp; Slinging it across his back as he came back to the door and he opened it, the man smiled to the woman that he had left within and signed to her.&nbsp; "Please, follow me.&nbsp; I will take you to the courtyard so you can get some fresh air.&nbsp; Okay?"

				Relina wrapped her arms around herself, watching her? They had been watching her this whole time through those strange things? When Arik came back she noticed the strange thing on his back and figured that was the shock thing they had been talking about. She nodded and followed him through the facility and then out into the courtyard. Once they were outside she took a deep breath of the fresh mountain air and stretched her arms and wings. Her wingspan was 12 feet and she spread them to their fullest while she could. It wasn't really possible in her small room. Her hair and wings glittered in the sunlight. With a sigh she folded her wings back against her back, shuffling them a little to get them positioned comfortably. She began walking around the courtyard, looking at the things there. After a bit she turned and smiled at Arik, looking very grateful, "Thank you very much."

				The young man was acutely aware of Relina's walking behind him.&nbsp; It was rather strange, he thought, to be followed, but he had no problem with it at all.&nbsp; Arik smiled as they reached the courtyard, which was void of anyone else nearby.&nbsp; He realized that security had probably cleared the area, at least until it was discovered that she wouldn't lash out or try to escape the institute.<br><br>He turned to face her and was pleasantly surprised when she started breathing deeply- the act making her chest look even larger than it already was as she breathed in.&nbsp; Of course, exhaling fixed that issue just as easily. But what really caught his eyes was her wingspan as she stretched her wings- they'd been clipped, he had been told.&nbsp; So, with that worry out of the way, Arik smiled back to her as she started walking around to take a look at the area.&nbsp; This was a mountainous area and the courtyard didn't seem to be much different.<br><br>There were a few benches, a little pond off to one side- he doubted that there were any sort of fish, but probably there were some frogs, if he remembered the croaking he'd heard just the other night to be right.&nbsp; A couple of sturdy trees, and there was a green lawn that was taken care of weekly, though sometimes by the 'guests' that they've had before.&nbsp; Some ate grass, after all.&nbsp; Arik nodded to Relina at her grateful thanks, and he smiled warmly to her in return before he signed to her.&nbsp; "You are welcome.&nbsp; If you need anything, please just tell me.&nbsp; And if your appetite comes back, that'll be important to.&nbsp; We do want you to be comfortable here.&nbsp; And, please call me Arik." he told her with his hands, spelling out his name to her so she would know how to say it.

				Relina nodded, "It's nice to meet you Arik." then her expression turned sad as she said, "It's hard to be happy and comfortable when you've been taken from your home and turned into a prisoner." She walked over to the patch of grass and sat gracefully on it, folding her legs beneath her. She ran her hands over it, enjoying the feel. Then she smiled and said, "It's nice but it needs color." She closed her eyes and concentrated then all around her sweet clover grew, the pink flowers popping up and opening within a matter of seconds. She sighed and almost fell over but managed to catch herself. She hadn't realized she was so weak from not eating. She had mean to cover the whole patch of grass. Relina looked up at him and said, "I guess you're right I do need to eat. I meant to make more..."

				ALLEN'S QUARTERS<br><br>They were easy enough to find. Nurse Rathlyn's instructions were specific enough and there wasn't a lot to remember. He let his duffel bag drop at the sight. The interior was stuffy. It had a bookcase and plenty of technical books, a desk with which to work at, nice bed, roomy closet... And a computer. Dated and to his expectations, completely isolated from the outside. <br><br>Unpacking and research could wait. For now, dressing more comfortably and a nap were top tier on Allen's priorities.

				Relina smiled up at him and nodded, "I think... I will like that. You're the first real person I've met here. The others have all just been cold, wanting to poke and prod me and stick me with their metal. You are also one of the few people to not give me that look that says, 'My God what <span class="bbc_u">is</span> that thing?'" She continued running her fingers through the soft grass. She considered how far she might get if she tried to run. She doubted very far. The people standing on the high castle walls didn't escape her notice. They likely had weapons that would knock her out or perhaps even kill her. Relina began picking the clover leaves and flowers, easily weaving a long chain. It didn't take her long before she had a long necklace made. She stood up and walked over to Arik and put the necklace over his head to rest around his neck. She chuckled lightly, "Not quite your style but it's all I can give to thank you for treating me like a person. I'm ready to eat now."

				Relina smiled shyly and tentatively reached out to take his hand. No one had ever wanted to hold her hand. The few normal people she had met had been frightened or repulsed by her. She held very lightly to his fingers. Hers were slightly rough from working with stone and wood to survive on her own in her mountain valley but it was a pleasant roughness. She walked with him and once they got inside she saw the way the other people were looking at them. It made her blush and she leaned over and asked softly, "Are you sure it is ok to hold my hand? I don't want you to get into trouble..."

				Arik blinked as she took his hand, and the light touch of her calloused hand made him nod to her before his fingers closed over the sides of her hand to pull her along beside him.&nbsp; The redhead didn't mind holding hands with her- no one would actually believe that there was anything between them.&nbsp; She was what most people would call a 'monster', after all.&nbsp; No, this was simply guidance, although he had to tell himself that after noticing the little looks and glares that were sent their way from the others that they passed by.<br><br>When she leaned over to ask him that question in the quiet voice that she had, he practically jumped- instead, he shivered, feeling the heat of her breath against his neck.&nbsp; He nodded to her, and smiled politely as he squeezed her hand and led her back to her room now.&nbsp; It didn't take long, and then they were inside that cramped little room, where he led her back to the table filled with food for her to eat.&nbsp; Fortunately, none of it had been warm to begin with, so the fact that the food was cold wouldn't ruin the taste for anything.<br><br>He hoped.

				Relina was glad when he indicated that it was ok for them to hold hands despite the looks they were receiving. Once they were back in her room she sat in the chair and grabbed the orange and began to peel it. She looked up at him and asked, "Do you want some? I don't mind sharing." Though the room was still the same small size it didn't bother her as much now that he was there and she had been outside a little for some air. She was used to staying in a fairly small but comfortable cave that had been about the size of this room. A weight seemed to have been lifted from her since she had been allowed to go outside even for a little while.

				Arik released her hand from his as they entered the room, not wanting to seem any more rude than he had already been with her.&nbsp; But then, the young man was fairly certain that she didn't think that he'd been mean or anything with her- after all, he had reached for her hand, and she had taken it.&nbsp; Relina had had the choice of not taking his hand.<br><br>When she offered him some food, he shook his head a little bit and smiled as he signed to her.&nbsp; "Thank you, but no.&nbsp; I ate not too long ago." he told her with his hands.&nbsp; He doubted that the doctors had put anything into her food, since most monsters could easily detect the pills or drugs by scent or taste, or were resistant or even immune to the stuff.&nbsp; Arik glanced around for a moment to get a better look at her somewhat small room, and then back to her as he came to sit on her bed.<br><br>There was only the one chair, and she was sitting in it.&nbsp; He smiled slightly, looking out the window as the bright sunlight came in, dashing through the light cloud cover from outside to make itself known to the residents.

				Relina turned her chair a bit so she could face him better. She was done peeling the orange with her delicate fingers. She pulled it apart and ate one slice as she just looked at him. She wasn't used to being around people. She had been born in a small village near the valley. Her mother had insisted on keeping her even though everyone else had wanted to be rid of the strange child. They had ended up driving her and her mother out of the village when Relina was 3 so they had gone to the valley. Her mother had died when the girl was 10 and she had been alone since. She had tried going back to the village a couple of times but hadn't been well received. <br><br>Relina reached up and brushed some of her hair out of her face then looked out the window where Arik was looking. It was nice to see the sunshine coming through the clouds. She wanted to talk with him but really didn't know what to say. She wasn't good at conversation really. So she just ate her lunch absently. The orange was gone quicker than she had thought it would be so she started munching on the sliced meats, enjoying them. She noticed the orange seeds she had absently picked out of the orange and smiled. She had an idea but she had to have a bit more energy. Finally she spoke and said, "My mother couldn't speak either that's how I know what you're saying with your hands. We were thrown out of the village I was born in when I was 3 but I remember. They threw rocks at us that hurt. She took me to the valley where I had been living. She could have just abandoned me or let them kill me like they wanted to but she stuck with me. She really loved me despite the fact that I'm different. She died a few winters later. There was just nothing I could do to help her bad cough." Her ears went back in sadness and she sighed, "I buried her there and I used to visit her but I can't anymore." She looked back at him and smiled a little, "I want to give you another present." <br><br>Relina picked up one of the orange seeds and held it between her index finger and her thumb then closed her eyes. The seed began to glow softly then a little sprout came from it. It grew rapidly into a stalk and then a seedling with leaves and branches sprouting all over. The roots grew out below her fingers. She shifted her hand so she was gently grasping it. It grew until it was about a foot tall then stopped growing taller but the branches increased, as did the leaves. Buds appeared and then clusters of little white flowers bloomed all over it, filling the room with the sweet, intoxicating scent of orange blooms. She smiled and held the mini orange tree out to him, "Here, you can plant it in a pot to put in your room. If you just water it a little every day it will give you wonderful oranges. It won't grow any bigger than this."

				OBSERVATION WINDOW TO BLAINE &amp; ELAINE<br><br>Both young women calmed down, Elaine sighing in her mother's arms, continuing to feed from her and groping her face, also squeezing the breast she was sticked to, and Zara, adding a few more lines to her notes, giving a soft, solacing smile to Blaine's cuddled up figure.<br><em>'Poor being.

Ms. Sparks already started to hate her work - she was a spy, yes, even a creature could tell it, from another room, she was an intruder, somebody who had to collect information so that they, those people upstairs could decide about the two's future, keeping them or... She swallowed hard... Perhaps she hated <em>herself</em> for taking this mission?... Unless!...<br>Driven by a sudden idea she waved to Tanya, asking whether she can come in or not only by gesticulating.

				After seeing the woman wave to her Tanya turned towards Blaine with the intentions of telling him that the stranger was a woman and that she wanted to come in to see them but before she could even say his name Blaine's head and body quickly twisted back around so that he was once again face the window.&nbsp; Reluctantly he let go of his sisters limbs before once again sliding off the bed and slowly making his way back towards the window where he knew the woman stood.&nbsp; "Why heart beat hard?&nbsp; You reek of fear.&nbsp; Giant waves fear... why... no fear before... cold... how say... calculating... what change?"&nbsp; Blaine's face was once again mere centimeters from the glass mouth turned up in a wicked sneer showing his wickedly sharp nearly black teeth.&nbsp;

Painful realizations.<br><em>"B" was a perfectly hearing, feeling and functioning, almost fully human creature</em>. <br>And the same must have been true for his sister - though the council automatically left Elaine out of the psychological tests, her life didn't count as a treasurable one in their eyes and so that group of conservative professionalists simply pass her case as a purely medical or rather biological one to a certain doctor invited to Monster Mountain too.&nbsp; <br><br>With an instinctive move she took off her glasses and leaned closer, this time pressing her forehead against the cold reality that was stretching between them and let tears run down on her cheeks...<br><em>'Damn it!

				Allen stirred from sleep and groaned from under the covers as some horrible sound echoed in his nearly empty quarters. He fumbles around the nightstand for his glasses. The alarm clock atop it blinked 1200 at him, a steady plea to be set. With a grunt the man sat upright. Eyes still struggling to bring the world into focus, he stumbled twords the door. The light came on, the door opened, and there ge stood. Effectively in pajamas by comparison to his earlier suit, he wore a sleeveless gray shirt and thick white sweat-pants. A gold chain hung about his neck, the word 'HOPE' etched into the plate it held. "Nurse Rathlyn?! Is it eight already? How long did I sleep?" He adjusted his glasses. "I am SO sorry."

				Allen blinked hard, taking Tanya's words in as the world finished coming into focus. Or atleast, after another adjustment to his glasses. It had been a while since he'd eatten, and he was certainly curious about the data already aquired. "Alright." He'd dissappeared from the doorway -finger combing his previously disheveled hear- briefly before returning with a leather jacket. It was soft and still smelled fresh. "I certainly appreciate the guesture."

				Tanya smiled and said, "Come then the dinning area is on the first floor as are all the other 'public' areas.&nbsp; Of course you do not have to eat in the dinning room.&nbsp; If you choose you can always eat in your room or some doctors like to eat in their offices.&nbsp; We have a good sized library with most of the books dealing with medical and psychological topics.&nbsp; But do not expect to find any news papers or magazines other than those dealing with the two fields I have already mentioned.&nbsp; We also have a game room with a couple of billiards tables and several card tables where some play poker or other card games during their off hours, we even have a gym for those who wish to stay in shape.&nbsp; In fact it is an unwritten requirement that we take good care of our physical bodies.&nbsp; Our jobs are often physically demanding so it is best that we stay in&nbsp; good shape."&nbsp; In the elevator she pressed the button for the ground floor the resumed.&nbsp; "The third floor is where the doctors and nurses have their rooms.&nbsp; The second floor is where most of the labs are located along with rooms for most of the rest of the staff though some of the staff quarters are in the first underground floor.&nbsp; The fourth floor is completely off limits.&nbsp; That is were all the bigwigs live and work.&nbsp; Only way to go up there is to be invited... which does not happen very often.&nbsp; I know that is a lot of info to absorb but do you have any particular pressing questions?"

				Processing information was of little concern for Allen. Storing it however, well, that's what notepads were for, right? Still, he could point out Recreation floor, living quarters, offices and restricted simply enough. Pressing questions? His elbows went for the cieling as his hands folded behind his head. Sure he'd have a lot, but more of them could be answered later. "Alright, I think I've got an easy one. What is the Sanctuary's objective?"

				"Sanctuary?"&nbsp; Tanya's expression becomes one that is filled with both anger and sadness.&nbsp; "Dr.&nbsp; Raker these facilities have been called many things over the years but sanctuary has never been one of them except perhaps by some the doctors that have worked here who had questionable ethics at best.&nbsp; A sanctuary is where people go of their own free will to be safe and secure and I can assure you Dr. Raker that given the choice all of our 'guests' would leave in less time than it would take to say good bye.&nbsp; The underlying objective of this facility or more accurately those in charge is to make money.&nbsp; Most over our residents here are here because someone has paid rather dearly for them to be accepted and continue to pay a 'maintenance' fee for the resident's continual stay.&nbsp; There have also been scientists who have paid to come and perform certain experiments that they couldn't otherwise get away with in the outside world.&nbsp; They may not be able to take out evidence of their work but they know what the end results are so once back out in the outside world they can introduce a procedure on a volunteer candidate and wha lah the way is paved for the scientist to live on easy street.&nbsp; If this place didn't have so much to hide they would probably even give guided tours to show off the freaks who are kept here.&nbsp; Most people who walk through those front doors couldn't give a rats ass about their patients.&nbsp; Occasionally we get lucky and someone arrives that cares... only to leave shortly after."&nbsp; Tanya fell silent for a moment lost in her own thoughts as she waited for Dr.&nbsp; Raker's next question."<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;

				Allen was a bit taken aback by Nurse Rathlyn's answer. So much so that making it to the table she had picked happened without his knowing it. Heck, he didn't even remember the hamburger he's gotten. His palms went clamy and his breathing came unevenly as he listened intently to her explanation. "No wonder Blaine reacted so violently." He felt a knot forming in his chest. Sure they looked different, but at their core they were still human.<br><br>It took the quivering voice of the woman that had approached their table to break Allen's train of thought. It took a double-take at those deep azure plates before the rest of reality caught up with Allen. Realizing he had hunched over, he eased back into his chair and gestured to an empty seat near Zara. "By all means." Before he turned back to Tanya, pushing his glasses to his face as he normally did before going on a technical tirade. "Why was I invited then? My field is gene therapy. I 'repair' abnormalities. That seems counter-productive to this facilitie's objectives."

				Allen payed little mind to the note. He was more preoccupied with the fried potato strips on the platter before him. Half of one had already been consumed, its remnants quivering nervously as it awaited its fate. He appraised it analytically as he nodded to Zara. "To be more precise, gene therapy. But on a much grander scale than has been previously heard of. Naturally blind people cannot see and naturally deaf people cannot hear because their bodies lack the proper equipment and instruction. Muscle deficiencies, metabolisms, other various bodily functions that change or decrease in capacity as we age. What if we could correct these? What if we could tell the body what to do? To grow a new set of eyes and how to use them?"

The first has been tried before and has failed miserably but that does not stop them from trying again and again.&nbsp; They want to clone the twins and sell off the clones as the ultimate expendable soldier.&nbsp; The problem is doctor the twins share a gene that no one has been able to identify making it impossible for them to be cloned.&nbsp; The second idea is even more simple...

				"Terminator genes?" Allen lofted a high brow at this. "Curious. Those genes do not occur naturally. That suggests the twins were already a part of some super soldier program." He finished off the fry he had been fiddling with as he considered Tanya's words. "Nurse Rathlyn with all due respect, Albert Einstien gave us the atomic bomb. From that we created nuclear power plants. Scientists give humanity tools. It is up to humanity to carve the right sculpture with them." He shoveled another fry into his face. "Besides, this isn't some on/off switch. This is targeted radioactive therapy to induce controlled mutation. It'd be more cost effective to use a nuke or bullet depending on the scale of killing one wanted to do."

				Nurse Rathlyn stared long and hard at the woman before nodding and simply saying, "Okay."&nbsp; Then turning once again towards Allen said, "Yes of course Dr.&nbsp; Raker that probably would be far more cost effective I was just simply stating that cloning&nbsp; has been tried and as I said failed but that does not stop them from trying again and again.&nbsp; We work for very strange and stubborn poeple who rarely if ever give up on an idea .&nbsp; As for their genes it has been speculated but not yet proven that there may been a pairing with something from out of this world either sometime in their past family history and it is just now manifesting or a little over 20 years ago their mother was impregnated by an alien."&nbsp; Watching the good doctor Tanya couldn't help but wonder if that french fry he had just placed in his mouth was going to become a projectile missile or if he would start to choke.

				Option two it was! As Allen's mind wrapped itself about the concept, a sharp intake was required to make up for the excess oxygeon burnt. Lodged in his wind pipes he could feel the salt crystals dig into his wind pipe. A few, forceful coughs scared out the intruder. <br><br>After recomposing himself and readjusting his glasses. "Ofcourse, the possibility HAD crossed my mind. Their physical make-up suggests being more suited to a low gravity or aquatic environment. This complicates things. I'll need samples from the twins AND their mother just to isolate the human genes from the alien ones." All of a sudden, the work before him made the hamburger infront of him seem unnappealing. "and to think I had hoped to save them from needless testing."

				Tanya was silent as they walked through the castle then out into the garden area.&nbsp; Still silently she led her two companions towards a large weeping willow tree that stood next to a large Koi Pond.&nbsp; Her mind was filled with the memories of when she used to take the twins out here to nurse them and let them play a little.&nbsp; Up until he was four Blaine had loved to jump into the pond and swim around with the fish.&nbsp; But those outside visits had been revoked after the first time that Blaine had tried to escape.&nbsp; Tanya's soft reflective smile was still touching her lips when she sat down on the bench leaving room for the other two to sit if they chose to do so.&nbsp; Looking at Doctor Miller she said, "What is this all about?&nbsp; 'They want to liquidate my children.'&nbsp; Zara... may I call you Zara?&nbsp; They have been trying to get rid of my children in one way or another since the first time Blaine tried to escape."

Therefore, they plan to get rid of every patient that doesn't reach.. a certain level, if you know what I mean. They don't want to be a "ZOO" anymore, like they said." She lowered her head for a while, caressing the wood of the bench...<br>"I'm not here to chase my own carrier.. Nor my ambitions... I'm here because our father gave me an ultimatum, saying if I don't accept this appointment he'll send my sister into a home. She's.. facing challenges.. Mentally, I mean.. and he's still the person in charge for her, so... I've had no option, if I want the best for her. My father is a leading psychologist, only conservative. He's not interested in... missions of goodwill or saving souls. He's wanted to send my sister away since our mother died. And the Council here is the same, they're not saints - only businessmen."<br>Light springtime breeze caught her curles as Zara took off then put away her glasses - revealing the face of simply a worried young woman, somebody's daughter, somebody's sibling, a kind and beautiful gaze, now downcasted.<br>"Our only chance is to prove they're intelligent enough...

				Allen remained standing, his brows knitted together as his face contorted in anger. "Not a zoo?" he asked, his fists clenching, one was thrown back. "'Zoo' is too nice for this place. It doesn't even qualify for a prison!" Allen stopped himself and looked to the pond, imagining what it would be like to see the twins enjoying themselves. "Imagine what would happen to you if you were caged up like a lab rat and poked and prodded with countless experiments with minimal entertainment and human contact. THAT, is precisely how you turn a human into a monster." He exhaled softly as he adjusted his glasses, moving to crouch by the koi pond. "These fish, they receive what they want and need. They probably wouldn't mind being given a set of lungs in the name of science, so long as they still had their pond and food. Why this facility isn't the same way is beyond me. Make the subjects happy, so that they never want to leave despite what inconveniences they have to deal with. How hard is that concept to grasp?"<br><br>He stared intently at that pool knowing full well he'd never get through to people higher up with tyrades about compassion for theor fellow man, especially when their fellow man could snap several necks simultaneously. His eyes brightened when Zara mentioned 'proving their intelligence.' He lofted a curious brow. "Just how intelligent do they have to be?"

				Allen stood and about-faced, suprized by Tanya's outburst. She was certainly right on several levels. He exhaled slowly, clearing his mind of thought. Did they truly want his therapy to work, or were they taunting him? No. They couldn't afford to taunt him. "Nurse Rathlyn, if I may, perhaps you couldn't 'think' with him because you did not understand how to. Just as a child cannot understand speech, so to can we not control thought to communicate. I would like to try with Elaine, assuming Blaine will co-operate with relaying instructions. As to the issue of sight..." He took a moment to assume a parade rest stance.

				OBSERVATION WINDOW TO BLAINE &amp; ELAINE<br><br>There was an itch Allen just <em>had</em> to scratch. To see if the twins exhibited some form of sleeping mode. The afternoon nap had afforded him some diminished need for sleep. He'd been up before anyone else, or so he thought. From what he understood, Blaine was as sensative as a bat, probably more so than that, to sound. He'd dressed lightly, and walked with slippers to soften his steps. He didn't want to be sneaky, but he did want to see the twins without waking or angering Blaine. Company was the last thing he had expected as he walked down that corridor.<br><br>He stepped through the door and noticed Zara was packed and ready to go. In a very, <em>very</em> hushed tone "Just where do you think you're going?" he hissed. He knew she and Tanya didn't get along, and they didn't see eye-to-eye on what was the best course of action, but leaving patients in need of care crossed Allen's line. "We... <em>I</em> need you here, Zara. I'm a biology man. I can't treat a scarred mind, much less two!"

				OBSERVATION WINDOW TO BLAINE &amp; ELAINE<br><br>She was still pondering and pausing for a while, shaking her pretty head but then... suddenly all her insecurity left her and with a wide smile first at Allen then at Blaine the young lady finally pressed the com link's button on their side.<br>"Hey there Blaine." She kept on smiling with her voice and left her other palm against the window, caressing it a little with her fingertips. "It's Zara speaking, I'm.. I'm a psychologist came to teach you two to write and I have.. Allen by my side, he's a wonderful doctor and would like to help you and your sister to sense a little more of the world around you.. Please, tell Elaine that we would be glad to visit you, only we don't have an access to your door yet." She finished speaking with a somewhat concerned expression but then added in a playful tone. <br>"I keep my palm against your window, preparing for the great meeting, all right?"&nbsp; <br><br>Shyly Elaine crawled right next to her brother, hiding behind his back to be exact but a hoping little smile appeared on her lips that made Zara's whole insight melt with a familiar feeling. Was it possible that the drama of her family left her here, right to these siblings to be able to help?...<br>~Who they??! Who they??!~ The smaller creature's heart was leaping and jumping excitedly as soon as her brother told her about the visitors, some of her tentacles grabbing and squeezing Blaine's desperately that made the young woman laugh from her heart.<br>Again she leaned to the com link.<br>"Please, tell Elaine that I would like her to wait patiently, Tanya's soon to come so we can meet and shake feelers, how about this?"<br><br><br>

				Room for Blaine and Elaine.&nbsp; <br><br>Blaine nodded as he said, "I tell."&nbsp; ~Sister mine, They are the same two people who came earlier.&nbsp; The woman says her name is Zara and that she is a psychologist.&nbsp; The man is a doctor Zara says his name is Allen they want to come in and speak with us but they do not know the code to get in so they wait for Mother who should be here soon.&nbsp; Zara also says that they wish to help us to be able to sense the world around us.&nbsp; The woman Zara feels different now sister mine.&nbsp; She feels... sounds...&nbsp; happy and excited... like mother does when she comes to see us. ~&nbsp; While speaking to Elaine Blaine lifted the another limb to the window and touched the glass directly opposite from Zara's hand.&nbsp; Then reaching once again to the com button with another limb he said, "My limb... your palm... my window waiting... great meeting... together... all right... yes"&nbsp; Not in a playful tone he didn't know how but instead he smiled.&nbsp; As Tanya had taught him how to do long ago by letting him touch her lips while she told him she was smiling because he and Elaine made her very happy.<br><br>As it turned out they did not have to wait more than 15 minutes before Blaine simply said, "Mother on way." Several minutes later the elevator doors at the end of the hall opened and Nurse Rathlyn stepped out and quickly strode over to where Zara and Allen were standing in front of the window.&nbsp; Tanya could not help but notice the luggage but tactfully decided not to address the subject as she said, "So I see you are all getting to know each other already."&nbsp; Then with a teasing smile she said, "Zara it looks like you have made a good impression on Blaine (then winking added) I approve.&nbsp; Now let me just see if they are ready for us yet... Elaine more so than Blaine sometimes gets very shy and anxious about meeting new people."&nbsp; Tanya pressed the com button and said, "I am here.&nbsp; Are you ready to meet some new friends?"<br><br>Blaine still squeezing and holding Eliane's limbs in his trying to give her comfort said, ~our mother is here sister mine.&nbsp; She wants to know if we are ready to meet some new friends.~

				OBSERVATION WINDOW TO BLAINE &amp; ELAINE<br><br>Quickly Zara picked up the code and her notes again, putting them into the pocket of her ground-brown trousers.<br>"Thank you, Nurse Rathlyn." She nodded with a smile then glanced back at her palm almost touching Blaine's feeler now for more than fifteen minutes - but that 'almost' was a border between their worlds yet.<br>Dear Elaine, she kept on showing the signs of excitement and all she could repeat to her brother was ~Meet! Meet!~, somehow the psychologist's messages filled her heart with the same warmth as their mother's words did.<br>

				Allen did not take Zara's self pity well. He folded his arms and shook his head furiously. "But wasn't it because of the emotional overcharge that you weren't thinking straight? You're being too hard on yourself. Give it some time, sort out your thoughts and think it over." <br><br>But then he was awe stricken. Blaine and Elaine seemed elated by their presence and expressed earnest in wanting to see them! Such a sharp contrast to only yesterday when Allen thought he might be ripped apart had he set foot in that room. He adjusted his glasses to make sure he was seeing straight.<br><br>As he opened his mouth to speak, he heard the door behind them open. He spun around. "N-nurse Ra- I mean Tanya, we uh..." but he clammed up when she started speaking. He listened intently and considered that Elaine, who to his knowledge had such a limited scope of the world, had every right to be anxious around new people. His own anticipation swelled inside him as he clutched his chest. <em>It's deffinately happening this time. I hope they're receptive of us.</em> Allen's excitement seemed mixed with worry. "Well, I guess we just need to hope for a favorable reply then."

				"We ready mother."&nbsp; Came Blaine's reply over the com as he back away from the window and put one of his longer limbs around Elaine as they both turned nearly as one being and headed over towards the door&nbsp; where their guests would be coming in.&nbsp; Tanya smiled at Zara and Allen before turning towards the door.&nbsp; She punched in her code and the door opened to the small hall way in between the twins room and the next which was empty.&nbsp; The Nurse lead the doctors to the next door which she opened then stepped aside so that they could go in before her.&nbsp; <br><br>Blaine listened carefully as the three people approached the inner door to their room.&nbsp; His heart starting to beat faster wondering what would happen once they did arrive.&nbsp; He held onto his sisters limbs just as tightly as she was holding his.&nbsp; This was something new.&nbsp; No one except mother had ever actually wanted to see them other than to poke and prod.&nbsp; As their inner door opened Blaine held out the same limb he had been using to touch the glass that had separated his limb from Zara's hand.&nbsp; He held his hand up as if it were still touching the glass heart pounding in his chest wondering if she would take his limb in her hand.&nbsp; &nbsp;

I'm Zara Miller." Then guiding it to her own face with a smile. "Nice to meet you."<br>It was fearful to recognise that with one single squeeze the one in front of her could have ended her life, but somehow she knew this won't happen.<br>Her voice remained calmed and optimistic as she glanced at the smaller creature who leaned her head against Blaine's shoulder with a curious expression.<br>~ She talk?? She talk??~<br>"Please, tell Elaine she can touch me too if she would like to. Then you can meet Allen as well."<br>'Say something' - she mouthed to the other doctor as a good advice.<br><br>The young woman kept that in mind: never to approach to the other without the permission of her brother. Aftrer all, it was easy for her to understand - no matter what she could kill for only to protect Cloe from others.

				ROOM FOR BLAINE &amp; ELAINE<br><br>Allen followed eagerly despite some measure of nervousness. He had a healthy respect for death and the display Blaine had performed yesterday. But today was much different; the atmosphere of the room felt different, Blaine's tone seemed softer, and Elaine wasn't shying away. He nodded to Zara, intercepting her hint. "And I'm Allen," he extended a hand, ready to accept Blaine's limb in a similar hand shake guesture. "Allen Riker. It's a pleasure to meet you, Blaine."

				Which of course, the creature couldn't see so Zara made her cheerful little comment to help them out.<br>"So Blaine, will you two shake hands like gentlemen do?" But meanwhile patiently she left her own hand there for him to explore, and so her face.<br>She tried to be all open - and did not show a single doubt of trust, only radiating friendliness and warmth, which, groping the feeler in front of her, wasn't a hard thing to do at all, its touch was surprisingly soft just like the whole being of the twins today, for some reason.<br>

				Allen smiled as he shook Blaine's tentacle. His anxiety and uncertainty evaporated when Blaine articulated the word 'beautiful.' No, there was no doubt in his mind that these were intelligent creatures. He nodded in agreement, the sway of his hair probably like the rustle of a million leaves to Blaine's ears. "Yes, she is. As is your mother, and sister. You too, Blaine. You are beautiful in your own way. Admirable, one would say."

				Allen had to admit that veiwing the exploration of Zara's breasts that Elaine was performing had been more than a little erotic. While long underwear certainly proved roomier than jeans, he could do nothing to hide his heart rate. Then Blaine's words graced his ears. "Those people before, led around by greed. Our purpose here, is to make things better for both of you."

So again and again she let the creature sister grope and caress what she wished to and a few minutes later Blaine's sibling pressed her cheeks against her chest suckling on his nipple eagerly. Well...

				The suckling noises threatened to drain more of his bodily reactions, however the question prompted to him snapped him from his reviere. "Actually Blaine, you are already very well spoken considering the differences between us." Out of habbit Allen attempted to adjust his glasses, his heart rate and breathing stabalizing as his focus was turned to Blaine. "But it sounds as though you are straining. Teaching you to understand more will do us no good if it pains or exhausts you. It is only a theory -a thought- but we may be able to speak with you like you do to Elaine, if you can teach us how."

				Blaine began to rub his chin with one of his limbs as he thought about what Allen had just proposed to him.&nbsp; The only person he had ever tried to mind speak with besides his sister was Tanya and that had not gone very well at all.&nbsp; Well technically he had tried twice but the second time was more in anger when he chased the woman Zara back up through the mountain with his berating list of accusations when she had fled from the window.&nbsp; Dropping his limb and cocking his head to one side Blaine said, "You want speak... like Blaine... might hurt... uncomfortable... tried once mother... hurt her... yell Zara... not heard... but you want... I try"&nbsp; Blaine reached out and grabbed each of Allen's arms with his limbs "Please sit" and pulled him down until Allen was sitting in front of him.&nbsp; Still holding onto Allen's arms Blaine reached up with two more limbs placing the tips on either side of Allen's forehead.&nbsp; "Close eyes... clear mind... open mind... with Blaine"&nbsp; Listening to Allen Blaine knew that the doctor had closed his eyes and was starting to take deeper breaths as he worked at closing his mind.&nbsp; When Blaine felt the last of Allen's tension ease he began "I start simple... tell what hear you"&nbsp; ~Hello Allen, can you hear anything?~&nbsp; Blaine's voice was still deep and rich but it lost all traces of the gruffness that was present in his speaking voice.

She was done peeling the orange with her delicate fingers. She pulled it apart and ate one slice as she just looked at him. She wasn't used to being around people. She had been born in a small village near the valley. Her mother had insisted on keeping her even though everyone else had wanted to be rid of the strange child. They had ended up driving her and her mother out of the village when Relina was 3 so they had gone to the valley. Her mother had died when the girl was 10 and she had been alone since. She had tried going back to the village a couple of times but hadn't been well received. <br><br>Relina reached up and brushed some of her hair out of her face then looked out the window where Arik was looking. It was nice to see the sunshine coming through the clouds. She wanted to talk with him but really didn't know what to say. She wasn't good at conversation really. So she just ate her lunch absently. The orange was gone quicker than she had thought it would be so she started munching on the sliced meats, enjoying them. She noticed the orange seeds she had absently picked out of the orange and smiled. She had an idea but she had to have a bit more energy. Finally she spoke and said, "My mother couldn't speak either that's how I know what you're saying with your hands. We were thrown out of the village I was born in when I was 3 but I remember. They threw rocks at us that hurt. She took me to the valley where I had been living. She could have just abandoned me or let them kill me like they wanted to but she stuck with me. She really loved me despite the fact that I'm different. She died a few winters later. There was just nothing I could do to help her bad cough." Her ears went back in sadness and she sighed, "I buried her there and I used to visit her but I can't anymore." She looked back at him and smiled a little, "I want to give you another present." <br><br>Relina picked up one of the orange seeds and held it between her index finger and her thumb then closed her eyes. The seed began to glow softly then a little sprout came from it. It grew rapidly into a stalk and then a seedling with leaves and branches sprouting all over. The roots grew out below her fingers. She shifted her hand so she was gently grasping it. It grew until it was about a foot tall then stopped growing taller but the branches increased, as did the leaves. Buds appeared and then clusters of little white flowers bloomed all over it, filling the room with the sweet, intoxicating scent of orange blooms. She smiled and held the mini orange tree out to him, "Here, you can plant it in a pot to put in your room. If you just water it a little every day it will give you wonderful oranges. It won't grow any bigger than this."<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>(O.O.C)&nbsp; Demik asked for and was given permission from&nbsp; Arlyn for me to take over the roll of his character.<br><br>(I.C)&nbsp; <br><br>Room for Relina:<br><br>Arik blinked several times in absolute astonishment and wonder.&nbsp; He was so stunned not only by what she had done but by the fact she wanted to give him such an exotic gift that even if he had been able to speak he would not have been able to find any words to say.&nbsp; No one had ever given him a more thoughtful heartfelt gift than this mini orange tree that she was offering to him.&nbsp; Arik quickly reached up and brushed a tear out of his eye then trying to cover the gesture ran his hand through his red hair before signing, "Relina, I... thank you.&nbsp; I hardly know what to say... no one has ever given me such a wonderful gift... I am very sorry to hear about your mother.&nbsp; She sounds like she was a very special woman."&nbsp; Then his hands fell back into his lap as if they had forgotten the motions of speaking.&nbsp; Arik sat for a few silent moments just staring at his motionless hands before blinking and looking back up at Relina.&nbsp; Glancing briefly at the camera over head before signing as he stood, "Are you ready to go back outside?"&nbsp; Smiling softly he walked towards her once again holding his hand out to her to take if she wished.&nbsp; Only this time he would not let the looks and stares bother him.&nbsp; This time he would proudly and with honor walk by her side.&nbsp; &nbsp;

				Allen had been more than willing to comply with Blaine's instruction. Either the and prod of his tentacles, or the fact that they <em>were</em> tentacles hastened his descent. But he certainly got comfortable, and tried to imagine nigh perceptionlessness, ignoring all around him. His eyes shut gently, the sound of thin flesh and eye lashes colliding almost as loud to Allen as they might have been to Blaine. (Okay, maybe not THAT loud.) <br>As the voice echoed in his mind, he spoke out verbally, his only thought a reflection of his messege. "Hello Blaine, I can hear you."

				~You can hear me?&nbsp; But how?&nbsp; We did not think that it was possible for anyone to hear us.~&nbsp; Blaines voice was full of excitement and wonder as he replied back to Allen. Then, ~Sister mine!!! I just spoke to Allen as we are talking now and he could hear me!!!~&nbsp; Tanya shot to her feet and ran over to where Blaine and Allen sat on the floor and threw her arms around Blaine as tears of joy streamed down her cheeks.&nbsp; For the first time in many years she felt true hope for her children.&nbsp; "Oh Blaine... this is just to wonderful to be true."

				ROOM FOR BLAINE &amp; ELAINE<br><br><em>'It must be because of I'm used to my sister's company, it must be because my arms are used to hold and cradle another...'</em> Zara was pondering while Elaine nestled herself close to her body and took her time to feel what she wished to.<br>And it lasted long, long until Blaine shared his joy with his twin and this broke the still forming intimacy of the two young females. <br>Reluctantly but the creature girl let go her sweet company and was waiting excitedly then finally her time arrived to try experiencing the same, placing her more delicate and thin feelers onto the same spots on Allen's body, eagerly listening inside to catch the weakest message!<br>Zara... Zara Miller was watching this scene of pure happiness, and she was smiling together with them but again that throat scratching feeling of being an outsider made her heart sank and the thought that she won't be able to hear the children they way Riker could just didn't want to leave her mind as she arranged her bra and T-shirt again and quietly folded an arm around her leg, pulled against her chest, hiding her sad, but beautiful face behind the shiny veil of brown. For some -quite mysterious- reason she already missed <em>Blaine</em>'s attention...<br>

				Blaine moved to be behind Elaine to give his sister room to talk with Allen.&nbsp; He heard and felt the drastic change in Zara's heart beat and turned and moved slowly towards her.&nbsp; Two of his limbs went out and wrapped themselves around her legs as two more went towards her face and cheeks.&nbsp; Blaine was surprised to find that her cheeks were wet.&nbsp; "What wrong... beautiful Zara... not sad... good day... today meet beautiful woman... and a man... who want help us... today happy..."

				ROOM FOR BLAINE &amp; ELAINE:<br><br>She quickly mopped her tears and then lay her trembling palms on Blaine's feelers that were twirled around her legs. It was a very strange feeling and slight panick flooded young Zara as she truly recognised how strong he was actually...<br>"It's all right Blaine. And you are right. Today is a happy day. And these are just silly tears because.. because I'm affraid I won't hear you as Allen does. That's the story, my friend.. Sorry..."<br><br>Meanwhile Elaine's smile was getting wider and wider as she slowly tuned herself to be more focused on Riker and hear the first message of the outside world - especially for her! Her joy was the purest a being can ever show and her trust is a child's, that strong and clear, thanks to the nurse's caring love.<br>

				Blaine touched and caressed Zara's cheek with another of his feelers before whispering softly so that only she could hear, "There something... a place Allen not fill..."&nbsp; Blaine leaned forward and gave Zara a gentle kiss on the lips before pulling back slightly and adding, "Be Blaine Girlfriend?"&nbsp; While waiting for her answer he added in his mind, ~Then maybe one day you shall agree to be my wife.~

				Relina smiled and nodded. She stood and took his hand again and they walked outside. This time she went over to the small pond and sat at the edge, putting her feet in the cool water. She enjoyed watching the little ripples that formed in the water as she moved slightly. She reached down and wiggled her fingers in the water smiling as the fish came to investigate. She let them nibble at her delicate fingers and watched as they lost interest and swam away. She looked up at Arik and asked, "Why don't you come sit with me?" Relina moved her fluffy fox tail to one her left side so he could easily sit at her right without having to worry about it.

				Allen's eyes opened slowly as Elaine moved in front of him. He couldn't see Blaine, Zara or Tanya any longer. Elaine was his entire world right now. His eyes absorbed her petite form. He nodded, a gentle breath escaping him as her tentacles rubbed their way down his chest, his abdomen, a ripple radiating from her touch and across his body, his cock snapping to attention as she crossed the threshold of his loose leg covers. ~Yesss Elaine, desire...I do.~ His thoughts were becomming scattered as his senses were being tested.

				~Surely there must be a way,~ he thought, without really having intended to. Another key panel caught his attention. Funny, why haden't he noticed it earlier? Releasing Elaine, he took hold of one of her hands and started heading for the bed Tanya had been on. Hmm, a note. "Upper observation, ground observation, main door, private quarters, lock..." He turned to Zara and Blaine. "Follow me," was all he said as he led Elaine to the secobd door, paused briefly to enter the code, and stepped on through. ~Now, we will be safe from eyes that do not belong upon you.~

				In the Gardens:<br><br>Arik was silent for a moment as he thought about the answer to her question.&nbsp; It was something he preferred not to think about at all and had never really talked about with anyone.&nbsp; Looking out over the small pond but not really seeing he began his hands moving fluidly with the motions of his only means of communicating.&nbsp; "I was 12 when my father and I went on a camping trip.&nbsp; It was always just the two of us because mother detested the outdoors and refused to come along.&nbsp; We found a small lake to camp by where we could fish and swim to our hearts content.&nbsp; On one end of the lake we found a place where there was some small cliffs.&nbsp; We climbed the rocks and found a good place to dive out into the lake from.&nbsp; My father...

I loved him and looking back maybe even worshiped him.&nbsp; My dad took a stance on a ledge about 20 feet above and several feet to the right of me.&nbsp; I watched as he stretched his arms up into the sky&nbsp; then leapt in the most perfect dive I had ever seen my father do.&nbsp; He had flipped two times before coming back out into a dive entering the water with very hardly any splash at all...&nbsp; I clapped and clapped it had been perfect...

				Allen had been flung, nigh effortlessly, his arms splayed as he tried to find something, anything to slow him down. It was a fruitless search. Overcome by a blinding flash, his lower spine took most of the impact with a loud WHAM! and he flopped to the ground with a lifeless THUD! <br><br>His mind was unable to block Elaine, but his thoughts were crowded by a mass of agony and regret that dwarfed her shouts. ~Having... second... thoughts...~ was all that he could manage in reply.

				As the oxygeon began returning to his lungs, he found it much easier to concentrate and see. Although, much easier from black didn't exactly mean much. ~Allen... will be okay.~ Though he was injured, he recognized methodical assessment prodding. As Elaine neared his spine, Allen's mind reeled. Everything had still been in tact, however his spinal disks seemed to be knocked out of alignment. ~Please, don't try... to fix. Very delicate.~ He could feel her pain, her worry, her panic. It brought tears to his eyes. ~I am sorry. I blame myself for this.~ Though he found he could move, it was incredibly slow and labored, as if his body were uncertain of its own muscles.

				Allen didn't really seem capable of moving to any great extent. Breathing was less of an issue, his lungs still responding mostly properly. "I'm fine, Tanya.

				Allen's laugh was a mix of a chuckle and a cough as his eyes rolled sheepishly. "I ah... I tried to kiss her." Allen pulled a cramped, careful arm to his forehead and very gently pressed his hand against the tendril. ~Calm, Elaine. Allen needs Elaine to be calm. This may be hard to understand, but know that whatever I tell you, Allen is not mad at Elaine.~<br><br>There was a pause as Allen sorted his thoughts. ~Allen is not alright. Elaine hurt Allen's body. His body is easy to hurt but his heart knows, he scared Elaine, and is sorry. Allen does not want to leave Elaine. Another doctor will fix Allen.~

Wrapping only the ends of her feelers around his neck she began to sob with a voice that was too hard to describe, it was like a stormy wind spreaded through the modest room, shaking the walls... and also their eardrums.<br>The last time when she let out this torturing hurricane of sounds was when they took away Blaine for a three day long experiment a few years ago.

				Allen nodded meekly at Tanya and shut his eyes. Despite his short breathing, despite the pain and the frantic girl screaming at him, despite the frustration from being repeatedly misunderstood, he cleared his mind, a blank slate. In that empty space, he imagined himself standing in front of Elaine. He seemed to be smiling, almost peacefully. As he projected speech, his mouth moved. The image moved too, to take one of the imagined Elaine's tendrils and held it to his chest. ~Allen's heart, is alright. It is with Elaine, and always will be.~ Very gingerly, he moved the tendril to his lower back, as though his image were in pain, too. ~Allen's back, hurt. Needs a doctor's help.~

				For all Allen was invested in science and medicine, he was still significantly empathetic with the will of others. The image in his mind faded to reflect what was really going on around him, what he really saw. And for all the fuzziness, he saw Elaine's eyes quite clearly. He forced a smile as a careful hand approached Elaine's face, a subtle warning of what he intended to do sent prior to it. ~Okay, Elaine. I'll look.~

				Allen was thankful for the healed back he now possessed, it gave him the capacity to dart for the ICU once he's heard of Blaine's condition. He was also thankful for the night prior when he'd had time to study the data pertaining to Elaine and Blaine's anatomy. It made him valuable on the surgical team. Valuable enough to be able to glare at the others. "Eyes on the patient!" He commanded angrily after glancing for the distraction they had created. <br><br>Blaine's resilliance was astonishing. No matter how they tried to sedate him, he remained concious. Now the bullets made sense. Allen warned him about the pain. It was the only comfort he could offer. As he made an incision around the entry, "Lucky us," his 'us' ofcourse referring only to Zara, Tanya the twins and himself. "They skimp on the ammunition. I'd hate to think what would have happened if they'd hit you with a hollow point." His tone shifted to something more business-like as he adressed the staff around him. "Clamps." He had asked Elaine not to use her power on Blaine until the bullet had been removed. "Extractor." He did everything he could to remain professional, to not pause.or slow for fear of extending Blaine's pain unnecessarily. "Suction." And even though they had collected blood for just such an occassion, there was a limited supply. Suddenly Allen was thankful Elaine could not see Blaine in such a sorry state. <br><br>It took a significant yank, the bullet slowed by flesh and stopped by bone. He checked for fractures, sealing them if he found any and quickly repairing the damage on his way out. Or atleast, sealing them so that they would heal properly in left alone. He signaled to one of the other staff, "Alright, reinflate his lung." Ofcourse,under normal circumstances the healing process and proper breathing off respritory machinery would take longer. Fortunately they were far from normal curcumstances. He slipped his nitrile glove off as he stepped twords Elaine and slipped his hand into hers briefly. ~Alright Elaine, I've done everything I can. It's your turn now.~ he gave her hand a gentle squeeze before releasing.

				Something whispered at the back of Allen's mind. It haden't occured to him that the mental link between the twins would have any long lasting effects, but he did now have the sudden urge to grasp one of Blaine's tentacles. It was a gentle, warm hold compared to the cold flesh. The state of the creature made him choke, much to the suprize of the other staff. ~I am here, Blaine. Everything is going to be alright.~ was all he could muster.

Pressing that now so weak tentacle against the side of her face she was caressing, squeezing, kissing it desperately, washing with her tears.

				A toothy smile of disbelief spread across his face as he felt the squeeze of Blaine's tendril. ~Yes, Blaine. It's okay to sleep now.~ A soft sigh of relief came as his adrenaline surge subsided and calm washed over him. "Blaine is going to be alright, Zara." He echoed his message to Elaine. He glanced up again, with a stern glare to the support staff. "Alright, get him off the support machinery but leave the monitors.

Now that Blaine was closely monitored and wrapped sweetly in Zara's presence now it was Allen's task to accompany her back and to stay with her until she fell asleep. A heavy silence pressed against their backs as the door slowly closed behind them and soon they found everything prepared and ready: her dinner, her tub filled with pleasantly warm water, fresh bedclothes and such, surely Tanya's orders the staff followed. <em>A golden cage</em>... this could be the young doctor's impression as he was watching the girl groping then tasting the modest meal. And how her feeler left everything untouched finally. All she could think about was her brother and her own unknown future, how easily she could end up like that too, wounded and labeled..<br>

				Allen did marvel at the effort that had gone into making the rooms more accomidating, but he couldn't shake the sensation that it had all been done to appease Tanya. More importantly however, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong with Elaine. She wasn't 'exploring,' feeling out the room or even talking. Surely she'd been through a lot for one day but for such a dramatic change to take place... Allen listenend, and heard nothing. ~What's wrong, Elaine?~ Even though the answer was obvious, she was still a woman. Talking might help her to feel better.

				OPERATION ROOM /and transfer/<br><br>But this nurse must have been a much more sensitive one because as soon as she stayed alone with the two she covered Zarah's body with a soft blanket and turning off the light above the table provided the couple at least a little more comfort and intimacy than they could have before.

But that wasn't an operation room indeed, that was sure. <br>She only blinked once or twice around before she pressed her forehead against the creature man's chest again and wrapping her arm around Blaine's waist in a protective gesture she fell asleep, deeper and more relaxed, her thigh close to <em>his</em> feelers under the blanket<br>"Arghghhh..." Zara let out a relieved sigh while drifting away and the smoothness of her silky skin rubbed against his one, warmth meeting warmth. "It's all right.. It's all right, dearest..." She muttered to him gently, even in her sleep, caressing his belly with slow, soothing moves - she must have been dreaming with his surgery... <br>&nbsp;

Surely she'd been through a lot for one day but for such a dramatic change to take place...

				Unfortunately, that same nurse that had tried to make Zara a bit more comfortable became tasked with waking her. She crept into that room gently, though she knew not disturbing Blaine to be an impossibility. "Zara," she whispered while gently nudging the woman. "Zara?" Once she got a response, "Doctor Ryker called. He said he needed your assistance with something urgent."

				In his mind three words out of all those said by the nurse stood out.&nbsp; 'Zara... Ryker...

				From that day on Elaine was suckling from Zara for some reason which made the young woman concerned about general mood around the twins. Will Tanya hate her for that? Will the institute send her away because of that?... The task itself was simple and her awakening motherly instincts made her able to fulfill the needs of Blaine's sibling. Her arms and heart were open enough to hold and her touches soft enough to sooth. Only reactions... from others... That was her only fear. Otherwise the same script happened again and again, the same as the one was with Rathlyn once, long ago.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>Zara had to appear two times a day in Elaine's room and while she was giving her what she needed -only the feeling and the warmth as she didn't have milk- the creature girl was groping her face, her slowly speaking lips and with the help of Allen she actually managed to learn a few more words. But this only grew the psychologist's fears about Tanya's possible reactions. That lake house - they needed more and more with every passing day - but will she let them go sticked together like this?...<br>

				Tanya was very puzzled by this new turn of events.&nbsp; Instead of reacting in pain and anger she choose to play the part of the professional Head Nurse that she was.&nbsp; By day she took care of her patients.&nbsp; Spending her now 'extra' time that she&nbsp; had not had before getting to know some of the other doctors and nurses better.&nbsp; But still she came and visited with her 'children'.&nbsp; Even though at times their visits felt more and more strained.&nbsp; If she happened to arrive when Zara was with Elaine, Blaine would come up to her and ask to be taken outside.<br><br>Tanya knew her 'son' rather well and knew that he was deeply troubled by what was going on though she really didn't know what he was thinking because he had become more quiet and reserved speaking less and less everyday.&nbsp; She had no idea how confused and upset he was about his sisters odd attachment to Zara.&nbsp; Nor did Tanya know that all of Blaine's attempts to talk to his sister about the subject had gone completely ignored and unanswered.&nbsp; Their outside time consisted of going to one of the newer larger ponds.&nbsp; Blaine absolutely refused to go any where near their old favorite place.&nbsp; Security was still just as present as ever but ever since the shooting incident that had almost cost Blaine his life they had pretty much backed away giving the tentacle creature more free space.&nbsp; Of course if he had ever tried to escape they would have to stop him but since he never made any such move they tended to just leave him be.&nbsp; <br><br>What really astonished Tanya the most about this new desire of Elaine's was Blaine's reaction during these times when Zara came to visit with his sister.&nbsp; Blaine no longer would sit on the same bed holding onto several of her limbs while Elaine 'nursed' as he used to do when Tanya had been the one who had held the special place in Elaine's heart.&nbsp; In fact most often he would stand clear across the room facing the observation window where he could hear people busily taking notes on the other side waiting to hear Tanya's footsteps.&nbsp; <br><br>Only very late at night as it was now did Tanya allow herself the luxury of feeling sorry for herself as she sat in her den blankly staring at the wall with an nearly untouched glass of red wine in one hand and her other laying over a chair directly over the book that had fallen unnoticed by her to the floor as tears silently streamed down her face.&nbsp; It was in these dark hours of the night when her mood was dark and brooding that she first began to think about retirement.&nbsp; But she couldn't just leave her 'children' could she?&nbsp; Did she even dare to try and take them with her... would they even want to go?&nbsp; These were the questions that played in her mind as she sat in her plush chair along with all of the memories of the twins younger years.&nbsp; &nbsp;

				TANYA'S ROOM<br><br>But one day a strange visitor knocked on her door. Oh, that wasn't a usual knock, but something like that. When she opened it up for the unexpected guest who cut her red wide-ruminations... there was Elaine standing there, in a much "human" posture, a beautiful, proud posture to say so, wearing a pretty purple dress that was made just for her size and left enough space for the bunches of tentacles on both sides and one of her upper feelers was holding a long white cane. For the first time she took this journey to her mother like a young lady, not like a classified patient. <br>When she felt the other woman standing there, as she felt her slightly alcoholic breath in front of her, a limb rose to the air and gently caressed the side of her face and her <em>voice</em> tried its best to greet her. <br>"Good evening, mother" It was slow and slightly distorted but yet perfectly understandable. "How do you do?" She added, haltingly and insecure but obviously enjoying the fact she could finally SPEAK to her family - to anybody she wished to.<br>More changes were visible, as chestnut-brown hair and brows -the very same as Zara's- had begun to grow on her pale skin, thanks to Raiker's great efforts - and she was squeezing a letter in a feeler of her. Then she handled it:<br><br><br><em>"Dearest Tanya,<br><br>Here I send back Elaine to you, ready to learn and live, live actually. By now she learned to read sign-language by groping hands and also to speak and with Allen's help you'll be free to continue enriching her vocabulary. The basic words she all knows and she doesn't breastfeed anymore, at least not from me. <br>As I see it she took the first steps towards adulthood and this is exactly the reason why I asked her to return to you at this point.<br>As she's deeply in love with Doctor Raiker and those feelings prooved to be mutual we agreed that it will be the best to let you be the one who tells her about... intimate things. Women's things. /And I'm sure you know what I mean.../<br><br>As I feel my work here, in the institute is finished. All her developement has been recorded in her chart, a detailed and exciting material we created together with Allen - my only ask is, to you:<br>please, let me leave for that lake house together with my true love, Blaine.<br><br>Your honest friend:<br><br>Zara"</em><br><br>&nbsp;

				Sadly, or perhaps 'as planned,' Allen could not be with Elaine and Tanya right then. Though much of his time had been spent on 'aiding' his friends, his 'free' time was spent hotly debating with the suits about proper treatment for Blaine, Elaine and all the other wayward souls trapped on Monster Mountain...<br><br>"This is outrageous, the way you are treating these people!" Yes, that was what Allen referred to them as. Not monsters, creatures, abominations, mutants or hybrids. People. A prospect that seemed to slip the minds of those in power.<br><br>"Doctor Raiker, these are experiment subjects. Their purpose here is to be used." The voice was calm, as though trying to spread it to Allen, but he'd have none of it this day.<br><br>"Then perhaps you should be giving them inscentive to stay. All of them." He adjusted his glasses, much as he usually did when trying to convey logic and impart wisdom."Willing patients in good health provide accurate results." He raised an open palm and closed it into a fist. "All it will take is a little reinvestment; give them a reason to stay, make them happy, let them <em>live</em> even if only within the barriers of the compound." He took a moment to glance at his watch. Damnit, he was late. "Well gentlemen, I seem to have overstayed my welcome. If you'll excuse me." <br><br>Ofcourse, he didn't wait to be excused. Let them debate amongst themselves for a bit. It would make things easier if the voice of reason came from within their ranks anyways. But enough of that, he had to get to Rathlyn's quarters!

				GARDEN POND<br><br>Zara finally stepped out of the building that sometimes felt to consume her fully, at least the very of her soul. Outside, as Summer was gently defeating Spring Blaine could spend more and more time because the 'special treatment' they got together with his sister -thanks to the two young and enthusiastic doctors' efforts- made it possible for him to enjoy the blessings of fresh air, Sun and sounds of Nature. Of course, still accompanied by guards but those were watching him from a distant spot and they only nodded politely when the woman appeared, loose hair, bare feet, wearing a pinkish summer dress, dedicating her day-off fully to <em>these</em> moments she's been waiting for so long...!<br>"I sent the letter to Tanya with Elaine... I revealed everything... How much I love you and... how much I want to spend my days with you in that lake house..."<br>She stopped a few steps behind of the silently contemplating strong figure of the creature man.

Always... She love Brother like angel" Her sightless eyes turned and it was obvious she was looking for another expression. "<em>Guardian angel</em>" She finally won her battle of thinking. "Zara love Brother like woman love man...

				Garden Pond<br><br>Blaine turned slowly to face Zara.&nbsp; Unlike Elaine the male creature had not gone under any physical changes.&nbsp; Not due to any fault of Allen's but do to the fact Blaine had started to turn down the offers Allen had made to help improve his life.&nbsp; The only indication of Allen's handy work upon Blaine was the scar on his chest from the operation.&nbsp; The scar easily seen because despite all of Zara and Allen's best efforts Blaine had also refused to be dressed up.&nbsp; <br><br>The tension that had been between Zara and Blaine that had been brought on by what had at first seemed to be Elaine's strange behavior and Zara's acceptance of that behavior had been lifting since Elaine had stopped her 'nursing' with Zara and Elaine had opened up once again to Blaine sharing with him why she had done what she had done.&nbsp; Blaine moved forward on his once again strong limbs and reached out with his limbs taking her hands in his feelers.&nbsp; "Zara my love... I still not see... how we go... even if Mother say yes... those people say no."&nbsp; There was the crux of the problem that lay between Zara and Blaine.&nbsp; He did not share in her optimistic belief that they would just simply be allowed to leave.&nbsp; Nor did he care for the idea that he and Elaine would be separated by so many miles.&nbsp; <br><br>Tanya's Room<br><br>Tanya smiled softly an tender expression that would carry over in the warm waves of motherly love she had always felt towards her children.&nbsp; "And I think my children have all grown up.&nbsp; I am very proud of you Elaine.&nbsp; You are speaking very well.&nbsp; Your vocabulary and sentence structure are very good especially for one up until very recently has never spoken verbally before.&nbsp; I am also very happy that both you and Blaine have found two very good people that you not only love but that they love you too."&nbsp; &nbsp;

"Why don't we keep up a little more optimism?? Your lives have already changed so much.. Dearest.. please.. <em>believe</em> a bit more, all right?.. Do that for me..

				"While Tanya's digesting my letter" She continued and lay the two of them down, against the silky grass, caressing Blaine's temple... and exhaling a light kiss on his lips - making the guards turn, and even walking away a bit, embarrassed. "Why don't we just enjoy this pleasant day? Hey, relax..."<br>Many times she explained her opinion about 'human' being a category for the soul not for the physical frame, so why to try that again? Instead Zara took one of Blaine's more sensitive lower tentacles in her hand, squeezing it gently, then asking "Any better?" with a good portion of playfulness in her voice that was similar to the whispering willow tree's soothing music, close to the edge of the water, just like it was taking in its own beauty mirroring on the smooth surface. <br>

But for now, something else was on his mind. <br><br>The door was open, slightly ajar. Still, Allen's manners told him to knock before entering. A shameful, almost uncertain smile graced his face as he poked his head in. "Sorry I'm late, Elaine." Before the rest of him followed.

A content, angelic smile was shining on her face and following the tips of her careful feelers she planted a gentle kiss on the doctor's lips, ignoring everything else.<br>Now she was Allen's, fully and almost obsessed, which wasn't a surprise knowing how long she had to swallow the true dreams and desires of a young woman.

				Tanya's room<br><br>Allen returned the embrace with full confidence in spite of the earlier incident. He also mirrored Elaine's innocence, placing a brief kiss on the otherworldly woman's forehead. "I'm glad it went well." He said with a warm smile, taking a moment to push his glasses closer to his face. Then he turned his head to Tanya. Briefly though, his eyes turned to Elaine again. "It looks like she's happy, too." Then his eyes locked back with Tanya's. "Oh, we didn't do much really. After the operations were successful, Elaine shot off like a rocket!

He also mirrored Elaine's innocence, placing a brief kiss on the otherworldly woman's forehead. "I'm glad it went well." He said with a warm smile, taking a moment to push his glasses closer to his face. Then he turned his head to Tanya. Briefly though, his eyes turned to Elaine again. "It looks like she's happy, too." Then his eyes locked back with Tanya's. "Oh, we didn't do much really. After the operations were successful, Elaine shot off like a rocket! She may have had a smaller knowledge base to start with, but her appetite for learning has been the real driving force."<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br><br>TANYA'S ROOM<br><br>Elaine's followed every word of him, echoing softly in her insight as he was speaking to another person. Their mental link strengthened a lot recently and they had to focus less and less, they became like sponges, letting in all the thoughts and feeling of each other, almost as easily as she did with her brother.<br>While Allen explained many things to the excited and happy mother she moved around in the room carefully, groping every little corner and furniture, just like she was checking: whether it was the same as years ago or not?...<br>Of course, in the back of her mind she was waiting for the moment when he'll bring up the question of moving her, wherever he wished to leave...<br>
