"For my blood in the eco." even thought the sentence was short, it still
sounded as if it hurt to speak. She gave a small smile and a shrug, "Its
not your fault." He smiled slightly back, and nodded. He soon disappeared
from the cell window and she shut her eyes hoping to get some sleep.
A few months had passed since Kaida fell through a portal in her tv into what she thought to be a video game. She was now in prison, currently being used in experiments for the Barron.
It had been a while since she had been able to see her reflection, but she was sure that she looked at least a little different. Kaida knew that her clothes were dirty and full of holes, she was sure she had lost weight due to her diet and the eco treatments, and she knew that she was covered in dirt. For a few days after she had arrived she had wanted to find a way clean herself up, and/or look in a mirror, but no such luck, and eventually she forgot about her appearance.
To day seemed to start off as a good day. There would be not experiments today, since as it turned out, the Barron had gotten sick. Nothing serious, to her dismay, but it meant he could not over see their torture, and he didn't want to miss one moment of it. So, the prisoners were fed and left alone all day.
Kaida didn't feel compelled to eat as quickly as she usually did, and was picking at her food. She was drifting in and out of her thoughts as she picked at her food. For the most part they were random harmless thoughts. Like, how she was going to kill Praxis, fun ways to torture Erol, how much eco it would take to make a cockroach explode, etc. But thinking to long will eventually end up in bringing up thoughts that you would rather not think about, and in her current state it was only a matter of time before one of such thoughts would come up. As she thought about killing Praxis, she found her self thinking of how he died close to the end of the game.
The game.... those simple thoughts brought up the thoughts of playing video games, and home... 'Home...' she thought. She shook her head and sat up abruptly to try and get those thoughts out of her head.
As she sat up she knocked into her water, causing some of it to spill out on the floor. It flowed over some pieces of broken glass that had come from a broken guard helmet(courtesy of Kaida). She looked down at the glass, ready to soak up the water before it spread over her sleeping space. As she glanced down the glass and the water made a makeshift mirror. Curious, Kaida moved to see her reflection better. She gasped at her own reflection.
When she had been sucked into the portal she'd had shoulder length black straight black hair. She had been fairly tan, due to the summer sun. Her eyes had been a medium brown, and she had both her ears had been pierced twice, once at the bottom, and once in the cartilage. She stood up and looked down at her self.
She hadn't looked at herself, since she had'nt seen the need to, but once she had caught herself in the refection, she couldn't help but look. In the mirror she had seen that her once pure black hair was now a little past her shoulder blades, and looked like it had been dipped 4 inches in blonde. Her eyes were now a bright green, and her skin was paler but holding a naturally tan skin tone. When she had arrived she had been wearing a pair of green denim shorts that went to mid-thigh and sat loosely on her waist, and a red tank top. Now, her shorts were short shorts(not to mention burned in places), and her tank top barely reached her waist, proving to her that she had, in fact, grown taller.
With another look in the mirror she found that the most shocking change in her, was not the fact that she had grown, nor that she was tan with no sun, but that her ears were now long and slender like the other characters of the game. Her eyes remained wide as she tenitively reached up and ran a finger delicately along her right ear.
Over the weeks her body, and especially her ears had been achy, and she had simply suspected that it was from the torture she had no idea that it was 'growing pains'. She swallowed and looked back at her reflection, her earings were still in her ears and added a rather interesting touch to her clothing. When she inspected her ears a little closer she noted that they were not as long as the few people she had seen up close here. She ran her fingers once more of her newly extended ears, then went back to the rest of her body.
She had long since lost her shoes, so she had no idea if she had also gained a size in shoes or not. Kaida sighed and slumped back to the floor trying to calm down from her slight shock, and once again found her head filled with thoughts, many pertaining to home.
'I wonder if, no not if, when I go back home I will stay like this.... I wonder what everyone will say...' she tilted her head back and looked up at the ceiling and sighed. 'I hope it will turn out ok. I suppose though,' she thought looking down at her hands, 'if and when I escape from this place I will blend in better. I bet this is the result of mixing the blood with eco.' she sighed and slumped against the wall, determined to relax and enjoy her one day off of torture.
'I wonder what other things are going to change about me because of this.' she shut her eyes and tried to remove the thoughts of Dark Jak, and all the angst fics she had read about that subject. 'I just hope not.'
Yes, I know that was a short chapter. It was kind of a filler for in between. Thanks to a reviewer, I found that I did not add in a description of Kaida to my story, so that was one of my main goals of this chapter. My next chapter will start moving into the story line. The question is, what other changes are going to happen? Thanks! Read and Review please!! Mavericksoldier
