After I texted everyone, I took my dress and ripped it to shreds and took the plastic lining out of the bodice of the dress that was used to make it keep it's shape, and wrapped it around the phone in order to protect it. I then turned my finger into a claw and took a deep breath.

I then carved a line down the side of my stomach and it took every part of me not to cry out. I managed to shimmy the plastic protected phone into the cut, and into my abdomen.

I used the inside of the dress to wipe of the blood, and as soon I wiped the blood away my body was already starting to heal itself. Like Hawks had said, 'Perk to being part animal'. And I was part of five different animals.

I threw the shirt Father gave me over my head and made sure it didn't touch my wound. I then stepped out from under the camera and waved the torn dress at it. A couple moments later the viewing slot opened and Father stood there.

"Now why did you destroy the dress for?" He asked me, after I handed it to him through the feeding slot. "I would have loved to see you in it again."

"I couldn't get the zipper." I said. And he looked at the dress. I had torn it just right that it matched my lie.

"Well, maybe I'll have to buy you another one." He told me. "Give me the bra too." He told me, I sighed and took it off without taking my shirt off and handed it to him. He smiled and closed the viewing slot, leaving me alone in the room. I turned away from the door and started walking around in circles.

After a while I looked at the walls of my room, it was so bare. I tuned my head at one of my walls, and smiled at my idea. I turned one of my fingers into a claw and got to work at scratching on the wall.

After what felt like an hour, I was almost done with my masterpiece. 

"If only I had colors." I said to myself, and flinched as I got another idea in my head, but this one I didn't like. I walked up to the door anyway and banged my fist on it, and waited.

"What do you want my pet?" Father asked me, and opened the viewing slot. 

"Will you let me color?" I asked him in my sweet voice. I knew it would tug on his good side.

"Coloring?" He asked. "Why would I let you color? Especially after what you pulled?" 

"Because I want to draw." I told him. "I haven't drawn anything in a long time."

"My sweet pet, I only have chalk. No more crayons." He told me.

"That'll work." I told him. "Please Father, I would like something to do. I promise to be good. I don't like what I saw when I went outside, and I won't do it again." 

"And what did you see, my pet?" He asked me. 

"I saw lots of things." I told him. "But it was mostly the people that I didn't like."

"But you tried to save those people when I came to get you." He argued with me, and I looked down.

"Yes, but I didn't want you to hurt anyone because of my mistake." I said. "No matter how mean they were to me."

"And what did they do to you my pet?" He asked me.

"They put muzzles on me, and strapped me to a tree." I told him. "They wrote mean words on my body, and they even hurt me." I said. "The marks have already healed, but it still hurt." I said and touched my neck where Shinsou had bitten me. It took every ounce of me not to smile at the thought of his teeth grazing my skin.

"They hurt you?" He asked me, and I could hear that it upset him. I nodded, but I didn't look at him. "Why didn't you leave then?"

"I didn't know where to go." I told him. "After you gave me the rest of the serums, they thought I was a freak."

"Oh darling, you're not a freak." He told me. "Just different." I nodded and looked at him. "Let me get you the chalk." I smiled at him, and bounced. After being gone for a few weeks, he still thinks I'm his innocent and ignorant little girl.

"Thank you Father." I said and watched as he walked over to a drawer in the big room and pulled a box of chalk out. He slid it through the feeding slot and I looked at the pretty colors.

"Now hurry and decorate your room, I want to run some tests on you in a while." He told me. I lost my smile, and sighed to myself.

"Yes Father." I said, and he closed the viewing slot. I took a deep breath and turned back to the wall. I smiled and took out a purple chalk. I would finish it before Father wanted me for tests.
