Chapter Seven: The Pack
I'm not sure how long Kit and I were with our new friends before we started calling ourselves a pack.
I found out that Blake had Dolphin DNA in him but just enough where he didn't need water to live in, he also has the special power to frighten people through dreams to wake them up. That explains how he woke Kit that first day.
Lacy and I became pretty close, but only because she was the only one who could actually understand me. After a while she got sick of translating for everyone and revealed her second power. Not only can she read minds but she can transfer her powers to others, she calls it splitting her powers because when she does it she looses some of her own. She told me once that she had Sheep DNA and helped me find out that I had Velociraptor DNA by going through my memories.
Cam has Deer DNA in her and told me once that she can run really REALLY fast. She also said that one day when we get out of here she'll show me the white spots on her back. She can be so funny sometimes and can always cheer me up.
Cam was the one who helped get Kit's story from her. She has Cat DNA and used to have a family, she wasn't always in here like the rest of us and knew a few things about the real world. Kit always tells me stories about the real world and to me the place seems like paradise.
We also discovered that when Lacy split her powers that I got something from her too, I can feel when somethings wrong and always know what mood everyone is in. One time Kit called me her little lie detector because I can also catch anyone in a lie.
But the one thing that gets me is the whitecoats don't come in here everyday to study us, like Liam and Steven and sometimes Dave used to do with me. The only company we get is Erasers every day or so to feed us. If you can call that gunk food, but what they give me has to be some form of meat because it hasn't made me sick yet.
Our lives started changing when Lacy got sick...
I woke from a dream about the real world to hear Lacy coughing violently. Lacy, whats wrong? I asked as she looked up at me, I think the others were awake also they just hadn't said anything yet.
"It's nothing, I just don't feel very good." Lacy said honestly, only because she knew that I would be able to tell if she was lying.
"Well, how do you feel?" Cam asked as she leaned towards Lacy's cage.
Lacy stopped coughing for a second and looked around, meeting everyone's worried faces. "It's nothing to worry about. Just a cough." she said as her gaze stopped on me.
I could feel she was lying to me. It's something really bad, isn't it? I asked as she nodded, she was having troubles stopping her coughs, there were even times when she was gasping for breath.
"Lacy, please don't tell me it's back." Blake said as I glanced back at him.
Whats back? I asked him.
Blake just shook his head and kept his eyes on Lacy. "It sounds really bad this time, I don't think you're going to pull through." he said with a heavy heart.
"Wait, what's going on?" Kit asked as she looked around the pack.
Cam sniffled. "We don't know what it's really called but we just call it the coughs. The whitecoats said one time that her body is rejecting the sheep and trying it's best to get rid of it."
Blake shifted. "Basically her body is attacking the sheep parts and it's trying to throw them up. They said before that this would just keep getting worse until she keels over." he simplified Cam's explanation.
"Until she, dies." Cam said as she hung her head and leaned against the far wall of her cage. Lacy nodded, trying her best to hold to awful sounding coughs in but failing miserably.
