Gaia smiled at Lily's words and gave a nod, at the mention of a child she tilted her head. Why would they keep a child here? This wouldn't be-
"Oh a kid?" Rose said as she poked her head up from around the weights, "Oh I love children! I hope he likes us." She said as Lily left, she moved back to the weights and continued to push more weights onto the weight bar and moved to lift it with her hands. "Damn it, still too light." She grumbled before she moved to add more weight to the bar.

Steph blinked, A child? Here? She shuddered at the thought about the yelling and screaming a child could do. She glanced towards Gaia, "You're... Not going to hunt me, are you?" She felt her cheeks brighten in red at the idea. She let out a squeak as Gaia moved quickly, pressing her hand over the side of Steph's waist, almost blocking her in the spot she was in.
"As long as this place keeps me fed." She said, opening her mouth slightly to show off her sharp teeth, "Then I won't need to hunt. But that's not what I'm [i]really[/i] worried about."
Steph felt her heart race, what was Gaia planning?? She knew she had Benjamin, and Gaia had Ethan! "What are yo-" Steph started as Gaia snarled towards her to silence her.
[i]"I'm keeping you sane."[/i] She whispered, leaning closer to Steph's ear, [i]"Your kind need this type of stimulation so you don't try and hunt. And I don't think Benjamin would enjoy finding out if you went after one of the guards."[/i]

Stephs eyes widened and she felt her entire body tense and almost squirm at Gaia's words. Why was she helping her? [i]How[/i] was this even working?

Harriet felt herself sway where she stood, slowly dropping to her knees as the shadows pulled at her.
She felt sick, her stomach churned. She held back the feeling before-
She vomited into the ground in front of her, pulling her hand to wipe away the black inky substance from her mouth. She felt her body shudder as another wave flooded through her body, causing her to vomit up again.

"No. I'm okay." She said to herself as she slowly pulled herself up once more. Did she hear footsteps or was she going crazy? She spun around and narrowed her eyes. She couldn't figure where she was, she was woozy, lost and felt... Strange. What happened to her?
