The monster began driving herself home. It took a while to decide how the vehicle worked, but she figured it out. She had become the new Michel. She placed the remains carefully inside the trunk of her car. She had sampled a bit of her liver, and liked the taste of her blood. She decided to save it for later snacking.
The new Michel searched through the I.D.'s to help her decide where to go. She found an address on several of them. She assumed that it was the place to go.
She drove to a large house that was a about five or six miles away. It looked like a large cozy cabin in the woods. She felt a welcoming presence about it. Michel drove into the graveled road that guided her towards the front door, and she parked the car carefully.
She took a quick glance into the rear view mirror. Turning her head back toward the steering wheel she thought about her new look. She noticed how different she looked. Her skin was a light brown; she had brown hair and had brown eyes. She looked human; human enough.
She jerked her head straight up to see two people running towards her. They looked older and seemed to be in a state of frenzy. 'Humans' she thought to herself. One was a male and the other was female. She looked similar to the female, rather than the male. They ran to her front car door and waited for a second. Michel opened the car door carefully. She wasn't sure if she ought to attack or not.
"Where have you been young lady?" The male yelled out.
"How dare you try to run away from home again! You had us worried sick about you!" The female shouted.
Michel remembered those movies the guard used to watch. Michel decided to apply what she learned from those movies. She began to cry, hoping to gain sympathy. What else was there to do? The female grabbed her by her forearm and pulled her inside the house, and pulled her into a special room. It was small, and tiled. The room also had a toilet and a shower. It was better than the one she was forced to use.
The female grabbed a cloth and placed it under a sink. She began to wet it thoroughly, and began rubbing her face. The female did her best to cleanse off the dark spots on her face. Michel was slightly worried about this forced applied pressure on her new and highly sensitive skin.
"Where have you been?" She asked. 'This must be a way to try and have verbal communication' Michel thought. Michel had never spoken more than a few words in her entire lifetime. She only looked around the tiny room curiously. The lady gave her arm a tug, forcing Michel to pay attention to her.
"Why are you ignoring me young lady? I want an answer. Where were you tonight?" She demanded.
Michel only shrugged. She didn't know what else to do. She was more interested in her surroundings. She had lived in a laboratory her whole life, this was completely new. She was usually in a cage, now she was free. FREE! She didn't do or say much else to the questing female.
"Ok then, maybe you'll tell me later. Right now, I want you to take a bath and change your clothes. Your pajama's are on the bed," She muttered standing up.
Michel watched the female leave curiously. She had no idea what to do next. Michel just looked around the room, and eventually looked down at the tub. Michel stood up to examine the tub. She lightly touched the crystal looking knobs. Michel turned one with the letter 'H'. Water poured from a large sprout, and steam appeared from the water filing the tub. She lifted a foot and placed it inside the tub. She bent down and placed her body in a tight knot inside the tub. The water didn't scorch her at all. It felt calm and soothing against her new skin. The soothing water allowed her a feeling of safety and comfort. She stretched her body out until she was lying inside the tub, flat on her back.
The hot water also relaxed her hidden muscles' and skin. She remembered the tank she was conceived in. The water was warm, and covered her entire body. She was able to breathe in the water, without drowning. She felt her first shock when they drained the tank of water. She refused to try and live without the water. She hid in the nearest tank full of water, and was forced out of the water. From that moment on, life was a horror.
She rested in the tub for a few hours. She submerged her head under the water. She felt relaxed and curious. Everything was now new to her. She eventually got out of the tub with dripping wet skin. Michel was slightly worried about how the water would affect her new skin. She walked around the hallways wondering where to go. Her skin was beginning to dry. She paused at the site of a room with an open door. She pushed the door open to get a better view of the room.
It had brown walls with posters and pictures to cover them. There was one large window to the right, and there was a large bed with four posts. A red transparent fabric covering the posts, right in front of the window was also in the room. A large dresser covered part of the wall to the left. Michel just walked over to the bed and plopped herself onto the soft mattress. She fell asleep quickly.
