Dan then appeared on the bed and sat up. "Hey, Trayaurus I'm back." He greeted. "Did I miss anything?"
"Not much. Alex has kind of calmed down some and seems to be sleeping now but that's it."
"Well after everything she had told us, she should rest and hopefully get better." He said, looking over at her.
He nodded in agreement. "She has been through quite a lot." Alex shifted slightly. Lupis watched her.
Dan sighed. Alex being here was a mystery to them but he had faith that they would found out. "Yeah...Is there any test you can do that are not so...loud?"
"Possibly. It'd be better if she were awake for them though."
"Hmm, Right." Dan agreed. "I suppose we should wait or I can just wait?"
"You can wait. There's some stuff I need to work on anyway. I'm sure she'll want someone other than her wolf to be here when she wakes up." He replied.
"Alright Trayaurus." Dan answered back and sat near Alex and Lupis.
After a couple of minutes, Alex started to stir awake.
She slowly opened her eyes. "D- Dan?" her voice weak and barely there. She scanned the room by turning her head, for him.
He noticed she was looking around and walked over. "I'm here." He replied. "How are you feeling?"
She visibly relaxed at the sight at him.
She was slightly shaking. Her eyes held fear in them.
"I-I'm scared..." she whimpered, quietly. "I-I don't want to go back...It was so dark..."
"Go back where?" He asked, looking worried.
"I-I don't know... I just don't want to go back... It was d-dark, cold, and empty... I could hear voices but I couldn't do anything..."
Her breathing was shaky. "It... It was like I was dead... But not..."
Dan felt an uneasiness fall upon him, realizing what this could mean.
He didn't want to say anything that would scare her more and placed his hand on her shoulder trying to help calm her down. "Try not to worry too much about it. Your here now..."
She just nodded. "O-okay..." she replied softly.
She hesitated. "They said something about taking her off... I don't know what that meant but I think they were talking about me..." she told him quietly.
Dan looked deeply concerned about that she had told him and glanced away.
Keeping Alex in the dark was the last thing he wanted to do, but what would he tell her?
Well the truth, obviously, but still...
Contemplating wasn't helping, he needed to tell Trayaurus.
Alex looked at him, concerned that he was concerned. "Is... Is that a bad thing?"
His eyes seem to widen and looked back at her. "Well. It doesn't sound good…" He replied.
Alex gave him a look. "Well. Yeah. It doesn't. But I also heard someone say something about keeping her on for the rest of the month because they asked them too, but I still have no clue what they mean by on or off. Then I heard someone familiar speak up and told the two to leave. I think he started trying to talk to me but it was starting to run together then I remember waking back up here." She explained, as she sat up and shrugged.
Dan slightly cringed. "Ahh. I think we should have Trayaurus do some tests." He suggested.
She tilted her head. "What kind of tests?"
"One way to find out. Come on." He replied, offering her a helping hand.
She took it and came with him.
Dan helped her over to where Trayaurus was currently working. "Hey, Trayaurus. Look who's up."
Trayaurus turned around. "Oh good. She's awake."
Alex was staying close to Dan.
He glanced at her and back at Trayaurus. "Yes. Also, we need to start doing some test and get some answers."
Trayaurus nodded. "I'll get them set up." He headed to the testing chamber.
Alex shifted nervously.
"Don't worry. I know some of Trayaurus creations may look intimidating, but they're not that bad." Dan told her.
She gave a small nod. "Ok..." she replied quietly.
As they headed back to the testing chamber, Alex stopped in front of the entrance.
She stared outside, seeming to kind of space out, except she was tense or looking frightened.
She looked curious and slightly confused.
Dan wasn't sure what to do. "Um. Alex? You're not going to pass out, are you?" He asked, looking at her.
She shook her head. "No... I don't think so. I... I thought I heard something..."
"I didn't hear anything." He said while listening for any sounds but just heard the two wolves panting.
He then looked past her, over at Trayaurus.
Trayaurus was setting up the tests.
Alex stepped out the door. "There it was again... its calling for me."
Lupis seemed to hear something as well and took off towards it.
"Lupis, wait!" She ran after him.
"Alex!" Dan called out, following the two. "What's calling you?!"
"I don't know!" She replied as she chased Lupis but gasped in surprise as sand collapsed from under her feet.
She grunted as she tumbled into the cave system.
