Bea was drifting in and out of consciousness. She could hear the voices of several others around her, but they sounded distant and the words jumbled together so they didn't make any sense. Her limbs ached, along with her wings; flying away from and attacking a very determined hawk was extremely tiring. At first, she had assumed the bird would give up the chase like most others when she hid in her flower garden, but it kept badgering her until she was finally captured. Struggling to break free from its talons, she could see the red ribbon tied around the bird's foot, indicating ownership. It had dawned on her that this thing had been trained to capture her and squeeze her until she fell unconscious.

Bea knew humans had a history of kidnapping her kind to show off in carnivals or even dissecting them alive to learn more about their magical properties, but this was different. If this had been a random human trying to find a fairy, they wouldn't have trained a hawk specially to find and capture her alive. Someone had found her, maybe studied her for a while before making the decision to take her. She had a bad feeling there was something much more sinister than a curious human behind this plot.

Eventually, Bea came to and she was able to push herself up into a sitting position. She noticed first that she had, at some point, reverted to her more human form. The fairy was minimally clothed, as per usual, and this fact wouldn't have bothered her had she not noticed the other creatures in the room. Some looked relatively human, some looked absolutely terrifying, and there was a small stuffed bear for some reason. In a panic, she shrunk down to fairy size and buzzed around the room, looking for some sort of small hole she could fit through. Finding none, she noticed the note on the door and, after reading it, turned to face the others in the room. She wasn't sure yet if they were friendly or even if they would be interested in eating her, but she knew that she couldn't get out of here alone. Deciding it was best to keep her distance a bit, she flew close to the ceiling and gazed down on the enormous creatures below her.
