Tilly's eyes fluttered open. She was boiling hot and she had a cot next to her. She pulled her restraints off pretty quickly because of her strength. She cuddled Cathrine to her chest after getting her out of the cot. She usually never felt boiling hot. She went to the bathroom and saw herself and screamed. She was scared. She also screamed from the heat and the doctors helped her before she breastfed Cathrine. She cradled her while she had ice packs around her. She wasn't cold at all and she was hoping that the ice packs didn't melt in the heat that she felt earlier. She was allowed to leave but wouldn't go out in that infernal heat. 

Tilly just cradled Cathrine to her chest. She was very over protective of her. She cared deeply for her daughter, even though she was a mistake and she came from a father that didn't care for her, she still loved her and took care of her, even if she hated her father because he left her when she needed him the most. Looking at Cathrine made her think of what she used to look like instead of having her ears and puffy tail as well as her white hair and her icy blue eyes. She cradled her daughter and started to sing her a lullaby. She rocked her daughter in her arms and she had worked hard to be a good mother to her like her mother was.

Tilly was shocked, to say the least, about the changes to her body. She had wanted to become strong to fight and to give justice to other people and do it for others, just in case they can't do it themselves. Her white hair fell into her icy blue eyes as the tears welled up in her eyes at the thought of her sister. She had done this in memory of him and she was happy that she managed to escape the disease even though she had caught it after she had given birth but they managed to cure it in the early stages. This made her happy because she didn't die like her sister but she was really upset that her sister couldn't be treated.

The ears and the tail would take a while to get used to but the infernal heat was the worst pat. She had the DNA of an Arctic animal so obviously she would be better with the cold than the heat and they put her in a hot room. That is ironic but I guess they wouldn't have known that that would happen or they wouldn't have done the experiment on them because of the results that would occur in the children which could change their lives forever. She hated that her looks had changed and her body structure which was totally annoying as she had to recenter her center of gravity and get used to how her body has changed.

Cathrine woke up and cried loudly so Tilly tried to calm her down but it was really hard but she sang to her gently and calmly and kept rocking her gently. Cathrine was a tough baby but Tilly loved her anyway and took care of her with all of her heart, no matter what challenges that she might face along the way but she would do everything for Cathrine because she is her baby and babies need to be taken care of by their mothers because that is what they need and although it may sound like a duty, she loves Cathrine with all her heart so will do anything for her, even though she is only 6 months now, she would protect her with her life and will do that forever as she is her daughter and she cares for her deeply.

Zia woke up and pulled her restraints off and tried to get up but she couldn't walk and she was totally shocked. She screamed out for help and the doctors put her in a wheelchair and she could see what happened. Her legs had turned into a tail and she had a fin on her back and her hair was now silver. This was a big problem as she couldn't walk now and she hated the water and she vowed to never go in it again after her sister drowned but now she would have to and that was her own stupid fault. She shouldn't have signed up for this stupid experiment. She should have never done the experiment and she knows that now but she just wanted to get rid of her fear of water.

Zia screamed in frustration as she hated the water. Every time she looked at the sea, she had a flashback of her sister drowning and it made her upset so she couldn't go in the water. She lifted her hand to her neck and she felt the gills on them as she used the blanket to cover her tail and it made her think of what her sister would think and that her sister would be screaming with joy if she was in this position because she had always wanted to be what she would call a mermaid and she would be so happy and this brought a tear to her eye which she quickly brushed away.

The doctors slowly taught her how to use the wheelchair to get around by showing her how the wheels work. She was the youngest on the experiment and she couldn't walk, she had her whole life ahead of her and she was only 12 but this could ruin her dreams or even her life which upset me even more. Zia smoothed her blanket over her tail so it looked like she was just trying to keep her legs warm while in reality, she was trying to hide her tail which had recently come onto her body because of the experiment which was totally stupid and that is what she had always thought of it.

Zia's parents always told her to get over her sister's death but she was really close to her sister so it was really hard for her to do but she tried but her sister's death always haunted her and she always blamed herself for it because of the fact that she was the only other person in the sea and the only other person who could swim there in time but she couldn't and this made her feel really really guilty and she constantly blamed herself and that is the reason why the past haunted her and why she hated the ocean so much, just because of her sister drowning. She kept her eyes focused down as she tried not to think about it so she bumped into a wall.

Zia was then let out and wheeled out and saw some of the others and looked around to see what happened to them. She saw a wide range of changes in them and she saw a wide range of animals in all of them which made her sad as they all had to deal with this struggle along with her and she wouldn't wish it on anyone and she was quite insightful for a 12 year old girl and she knew how to help people and she always tried to calm people down and never wished any of the bad things that happened to her on anyone, no matter what they done because it is in the past. She looked up at everyone and smiled slightly.
