The Genetics of a Pixie

Chapter 4

I can't leave, not without the others. pixie pleaded as Daniel held her carefully against himself. she looked at him fearing he'd say no and leave despite her wishes forcing her to live with the guilt of leaving the others behind. What she saw though was enough to make her draw even closer to him.

Daniel smiled as he looked down on her. Ok I'll open the other cages but you'll have to wait here with the gun in case another lab tech comes. he said as he set her gently on the floor handing her the gun. How many are there in here anyway? he asked as she smiled at him.

Pixie seemed to think a while before she could answer. I don't know.. More than 5 but I don't know how many. she said as she watched him stand. But we can't leave any of them behind, I couldn't live with myself if I did. she said as she began to sob again.

Daniel smiled as he wiped the tears away. We'll get out of here, all of us. Now just watch the door while I free the rest. and with that he turned and proceeded to the next cell. As he looked inside he saw what appeared to be a reptile of some sort for it was curled up in a corner under a lamp though it's scales looked more like interwoven skins cells that the scales of a reptile. Apparently she must have heard his approach because he soon found himself face to face with another young female "subject".

Dixie was at a loss when she got a look at her would- be executioner. He, yes a he. A man had no weapon and was very young and he also seemed more than a little scared of her. Probably thought I was asleep she thought to herself as she glared down at him with her claws inches from his neck.

Who are you? Were you sent here to kill me? Answer me! she declared as Daniel found himself staring at the naked form currently poised to strike him down.great, no girls even want to be seen with me at school and now I'm alone with not one but two naked and lovely women in one day he thought before snapping out of it.

Easy.. I'm here to help. I'm going to get you out of here. I'm Daniel, pixie sent me to get you. he tried as she visibly winced at the mention of pixies name. Pixie sent you, to help? She's ok? where is she? Dixie asked as she let him up. I'm sorry I'm Dixie, I thought you were here to kill me. she apologized as the man dusted himself off and then smiled at her.

No, I've taken care of her. But we have to hurry and get the others out of here. I promised pixie I'd get us all out of here. Daniel said as they made their way back into the hall. the woman, Dixie she'd called herself. nodded as she followed watching him almost questioningly from behind. Ok I'll get everyone on this side out if you'll get that side.

Daniel nodded and soon they were both hurriedly explaining their situations to numerous different variations and moving them into the hallway with pixie. Daniel had just finished talking to a pair of half cat women that had been oddly enough left in their cell together and had seemed very close as they even tried to hide in the corner together. Soon though they had went to join the others at the end of the hall as he made his way to the last cell on his side after explaining the situation to the two.

Daniel watched a moment as the two cat women raced down the hall hand in hand. why did none of these women seem to have any modesty at all he wondered a moment before turning back to the last cell.later he thought as he walked up to it.

Inside laying on a small strip of artificial beach lay what looked like a mermaid. She turned to him as he looked across the cell at her noting that the cell was actually some form of in ground water tank with a catwalk. this ought to be interesting he thought as he opened the cell. Easy now I'm here to help.. he tried but she quickly gasped and dived into the water and swam down almost 10 feet to the bottom.

Oh well, at least the waters got to be warm. he thought as Daniel dived in after her. he swam down and down until he was face to face with her. She was trying to hide in a corner crevice at the bottom and he was trying to make her come out but he made a mistake. He tried to get a hand around her tail to grab her and pull her out and was rewarded with a hard blow to the temple from her fist. He screamed releasing his air and even as he felt his lungs burning from lack of oxygen he tried to reach her as she watched terrified from the whole. He felt the darkness closing in and the burning in his lungs was unbearable as he reached out and took her hand and then felt it slip from his even as he lost consciousness.

Daniel awoke with a gasp and found himself on the artificial shoreline. He sucked in air for a while before turning to see a hesitant mermaid watching from across the cell apparently ready to dive again. Thanks, but I just want to help. He tried. she seemed perplexed and then she spoke in a siren voice like a glass harp. You would help me? Help me escape? she asked as she swam a little closer.

Yes. I want to help you get out. If you stay they'll kill you. We'll leave right now before they get that chance the others are waiting. Daniel said as he swam slowly towards her stopping just inches before her as she looked at him then down and sobbed. I can't escape, I can't walk and I'd never blend in humans will hate me. she cried as Daniel smiled and reached out slowly to her. She flinched at his touch but as he spoke she soon found herself swimming closer and finally holding onto him before smiling up at him.

It's ok. I'll carry you if need be but I can't leave you here. And you'll always be welcome with me. come on lets go. Daniel said as he began to swim ashore and lift her out of the water. He was stopped as he tried to put an arm around her waist by her hand. Please don't touch me there again. That's painful. she said and it suddenly came back to him as to the accident under water and where his hands hand obviously tried to find purchase upon her naked form. He apologized as he lifted her from beneath and stood heading into the hall. I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt or abuse you before I just wanted to help. Sorry I won't touch you there again. Daniel told her as he carried her.

It's ok. I liked you touching me, and would look forward to it again but with less pressure on my skin it would be very pleasant. she said without hesitation causing Daniel to break stride a moment. guess these girls aren't embraced about themselves at all he though as he made his way down the hall of now empty cells to the oddest assortment of females in the world.
