Chapter Three
Hatori sighed and walked from the bedroom they had set her in back out towards the awaiting group.
"Is she okay?" All four of them screamed at the same time.
Hatori couldn't help but smile. "Yes, don't bother her." He said coldly. "She needs her rest. She's lost a lot of blood." He walked passed them into the bathroom, washing his hands.
Kyo looked towards the doorway of the room and sighed. He wanted to be in there, to make sure nothing else happened. But Hatori would know best right now, he was the doctor. He eyed him.
Jen slowly opened her eyes. It had to be days since she had opened her eyes last. It was like she was numb, her whole body until reality came crashing in. Her eyes traced over the room she was in. Nothing like she's ever been in before. Where was this place? Who brought her here? Oh, shit. She thought. What if they saw her? What if they knew about her? Her heart beat faster and faster with worry and fear. She didn't want to move again, she didn't even know where she could. She'd been everywhere. Luck always seemed to stab her in the back.
"I see you are finally awake."
Jen shot her head towards the man that was walking towards her. He was tall, his black hair covering one of his eyes. She blinked. "I-… I-um… Thank you." She said, her voice a bit shaky slowly trying to force herself to sit up.
"You can't get up, you must rest now." He said, stepping towards her. He could see the fear in her eyes. "Nothing will hurt you." He said.
She swallowed hard. "I know." She tried to play it off.
Hatori stood and turned away. "You will be able to get up in a few days, but until then, I recommend you stay here."
She looked into his eyes and nodded. She didn't want to stay here, she didn't even know where HERE was.
Kyo looked up to see Hatori walking out of the room. She's awake, he knew it right then. He stood and as soon as Hatori was out of sight, he stepped into the room. He watched silently as she stood and walked over towards the window, her eyes grazing over the hills and forests surrounding them.
"Are you alright?" He asked quietly.
Jen turned and her eyes widened. It was that boy! The… the- "Yeah," she answered, turning away. "I'm fine now."
Kyo was looking over her body. There was no way she could be a he…. Right? But that would be the only way that he wouldn't have changed in a pink fluff of pink smoke. He was so confused and he couldn't look away from her.
Jen turned back around, feeing his eyes on her body. She gulped and bit her lip. "You saw me didn't you?" She asked quietly, her hair falling into her eyes.
Kyo looked up. "Wh-what do you mean?"
A tear ran down her cheeks. "Never mind." She looked away. He saw her; now he thought she was a freak! She closed her eyes and clenched her fists. She WAS a freak!
Kyo just stood there. What… the.. Hell?
"Kyo." Hatori's voice came from behind him.
"What?" He yelled.
"Get out here; I need to speak with her… Alone." Kyo turned to see the look on Hatori's face. Uh oh, was all he could think. He nodded and walked out.
"What did you mean… We 'saw' you?" He stepped closer. She didn't answer. "We won't hurt you, I can promise you that."
Jen opened her eyes slowly and looked towards Hatori. "I'm not like you." She whispered. "I'm not human!"
Hatori's eyes widened as her body slowly started to transform into a beautiful beast of a horse. He stepped closer and placed his hand on her head. "…We're more alike than you think."
