"Kathline Lester?" The man questioned still in shock.
"Yes, sir?"
"That's impossible. You died years ago."
"Fourteen years ago actually, but I didn't die I was pushed into one of those anomaly things."
"That's impossible. You were with a friend. You-"
"I was suppose to be with a friend but I insisted that I could return home on my own. I was a block away when it happened." I informed my father.
"Lester, why didn't you ever tell us you had a daughter?" Connor asked.
"It wasn't any of your concern." Lester snapped.
"Hey guys, I'm glad you're back and what not but there's something you guys need to see and hear." A long haired woman stated as she approached us. We followed her to the computer. "Ok, so there's been a creature sighting but here's the thing, there's been no anomalies since you guys got back."
"We will go check it out while you stay here." Becker stated as he ordered me to stay.
"I've been living with dinosaurs for fourteen years. I think I can handle anything you can." I snapped.
"Take her with you. She could be of some help." Lester stated as he headed back into his office.
"Well looks like you're coming with us. Lets get you something else to wear first." Becker said as he looked me up and down.
"And what's wrong with my outfit?" I snapped back.
"Honestly, you have twigs and leaves in your hair. You're wearing a grass and leaf dress. Not many people these days wear that."
"Fine, I'll go clean up but someone better find me something good to wear." I growled as the long haired woman lead me towards the showers.
As we walked down the halls I couldn't help but look around. My guide kept looking at me with curiosity. Finally I just had enough.
"Ok, what do you want to ask me?" I lightly growled but tried my hardest to keep my tone gentle.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to stare." She apologized.
"It's fine, just ask."
"Why was Danny looking for you?"
"We were best friends when we were kids. I guess he feels like it was his fault that I went missing." I informed her. "By the way, my name is Kathline. You can call me Kat though. Everyone use to call me Kat."
"Nice to meet you Kat. I'm Jess."
"Nice to meet you." I smiled as we finally arrived at our destination.
"Here we are. Once inside to your left will be towels and I'll bring you something to wear." Jess smiled.
"Thanks." I sighed as I entered the room.
I closed the door behind me after entering. Standing there I examined the room for cameras or anything of that nature. After finishing my search I untied the one and only string that held my dress up to my body. As the dress fell from my scar covered body, I stepped into the shower area. It took me a while to remember how to operate the shower. Once I had figured it out, I just stood there under the water of the first warm shower in fourteen years. The water cascaded down my curves and across my feet. There was a knock on the door that pulled me from my relaxation. Stepping out of the water I headed over to the door. Opening it I was greeted with Danny Quinn. He just stood there staring at me.
"What?" I asked still standing in the doorway as the steam escaped from the room, which was showing off my naked body.
"I...um...brought you...cloths." Danny stuttered as he still looked at my body.
"Thanks." I said as I grabbed the cloths and shut the door to finish my shower.
After about half an hour I finished my shower, got dressed, and dried my hair. Back tracking to the main room, I found the rest of the group waiting on me. Apologizing for how late I was we headed out. My black leather pants and sleeveless black top made me feel like I was part of a black ops team or something. It didn't help that I had long black hair tied up into a high pony tail. My blue eyes collided with a matching pair of blue eyes checking me out. Smiling I just followed Becker to the vehicles.
This time around I road with Danny. We had finally arrived at the sight of the creature sighting just to find nothing. Getting out of the cars we all started to gag; well all except for me. The scent of sulfur was thick in the air. I had been around it once before when Rex had gotten attacked by a creature that I would call not from this world.
The forest that lie before us seemed eerier than any normal forest. We stood before it and just looked into it. This forest was dense, dark, and for some reason was very foggy. Sighing, I took the first steps into it. Danny was the first to follow me and then the others leaving Becker to watch our six. After what seemed like hours we finally came to a clearing. The only thing that made us head towards this particular clearing was the red light flicker radiating from it. Entering the clearing we were face to face with a red anomaly.
