Gaia's ears flicked at Stephs' voice, she moved forward in the shadows towards her friend but paused as she could sense Chiyoko. She waited for the other demon to leave before she inched towards Steph a bit more. "Safe?" Gaia managed to croak out, her voice raspy and almost broken. "I'm safe, I'm okay. Are you okay? Why don't you come out?" Steph frowned, kneeling down. "Have they hurt you?" Gaia seemed to hesitate, shifting in the darkness while Steph could only get small glimpses of torn scales and flesh strips. "I'm okay." She spoke slowly, "Somethings... Happened. I don't know." She moved to fully pull herself up from the floor, the sound of flesh ripping before she fanned her wings out- now they couldn't even fully stretch out within the room. "I feel different." Steph watched the shadows and moved to step over what she thought must have been some furniture before flicking on the light to get a better look at Gaia before she froze up. She moved her hands over her mouth to hold back a scream as she watched her companion carefully. The wounded were in the infirmary, three men seemed to be injured, bite marks that barely pass their knees. The bite wounds had started to become blue around the edges, the skin drying out and becoming a bit wrinkly. The men seemed a bit out of it, staring off into space with IV drips in their arms, pumping water into their systems as it seemed they couldn't regulate their water levels. "Here they are Ms Lily." The runner spoke, "Their water levels are tanking and they're not exactly talking. They're still... Cognitive, they'll make sure to move out of the way if things are in the way but they seem to just sort of, stare off into the distance." Freya shivered as she walked along, she felt like she was being watched. [i]I'll get you Sammy.[/i] She thought to herself before she saw a black van pull up in front of her and the doors opened, revealing the agents sent to grab her. "Shit." Freya spoke, instinctively moving to hold her injury before she tried to turn around and run, but a couple more agents walked up behind her. "What do you want? I'll kill you if you get closer." Freya hissed, baring her teeth angrily as her nails grew sharp. She felt the pain from her injury pulse as she winced slightly.
