Alex stared at the odd hybrid with a curious yet cautious gaze. She paused with her gnawing for a moment, then shot a glare to the guards and muttered, "I'm not hungry......but thank you...." 
 The kind words helped her nerves, but she still wanted to get out and run. Somehow though......she felt as though it wouldn't be possible.

  Letting out a sigh Alex went back to gnawing on the ropes around her wrists and allowed for the male hybrid to assist. After a moment they snapped, and she used her claws to cut the rag now hanging around her neck. 

 Almost freed, the leopard girl flexed her arms to rid them of cramps and stiffness, before speaking again, "So they found you too? Gave you false promises and then brought you here?"
 She didn't quite understand what he meant by "Gramma's"......but the way he spoke of it made it sound like a nice place.  

  "They" had promised her once....said they would let her see her mother. But that was before the last facility was shut down....before they left her alone on the mountain.
