Prey {OPEN!!}

[Riarino {Hybrid}]

Fade in...

Fade out...

Fading... fading...

Seeing... seeing...


Her vision was blurry, she could not register what was going on. Where was she? Her mother... she was there one minute... now she was gone. She had been hunting, but all of a sudden there was black... what was happening? She could barely hear the muffled voices, by the time she woke up she found herself in a tank filled with a clear green liquid... yet she could breathe? Yet she felt like she was underwater... this didn't make any sense to her... at all.

Earthy green eyes scanned the area with caution, there were three men in white coats typing on rectangular planks with smaller square buttons with weirdmarkings on each one that was attached to a square shaped box that had a weird light and moving pictures inside them... what type of box was that? A computer, unbeknownst to her. She remained floating in the strange tube... where was she?

Riarino looked down, noticing that she had been stripped of all clothing... this didn't phase her, though she couldn't help but worry... how had she gotten here? And what were they doing with her? Her animalistic mind set several alarms off, instinct told her to break out and escape, yet she did not know how... her freedom was being stripped from her, she couldn't take it much longer.

It was then someone entered the room, an odd and greasy haired looking man, his black hair tied into a ponytail and on his face her wore glass circles over each eye... she noticed him approach her, inspecting and observing her. "Hmm... yes, yes! A perfect specimen... very fine, indeed!" his voice was somewhat high pitched, rather that of a madman, yet she couldn't understand what he was saying.

Ss-peh-ssiii-min?

Riarino didn't want to be here... she didn't know what would happen, she just wanted to get out... she wanted to go home... who were these people? What did they want with her? How did they find her? She had to get out!!

Isrieal was straggling behind as she too appeared at the doorway, her hands gripping the edge of the frame as she peered inside, following the head scientist. After all she was his favored experiment for many reasons. She stares at his back for a moment then glances up at the stasis chamber in the room, narrowing her gleaming blue eyes slightly at the 'specimen'. She wore a long black generals type coat, quite elegant in a way as it formed to her body and clasped with silver clasps up the front. The top few were undone exposing the tops of her breasts pushed up gently from the corset she wore underneath. On her legs she wore knee high black, vinyl boots.

Admittedly she hated other female experiments, feeling jealousy even if there was no reason to. None of them really offered a threat to her strange relationship with the scientist. She was fine, as long as she was always seen as the most beautiful and the favorite. She had been here for years. A jenova Project after all the 'men' he tried it with were deemed as failures, and she did hold an uncanny resemblance to the alien.

She breathes out a small irate sigh before stepping fully into the room while dragging the ends of her lengthy nails through her snowy white locks, tinted faintly green from the light of the chamber. Her hair tumbles over her body in elegant loose curls resting at her waist. She pauses beside the Professor and places a hand upon her hip. She looks at him before looking back to the chamber.

Her eyes took on a slight silvery hue as she concentrated on the being inside it, silently trying to make a connection with her mind. She was a telekinetic after-all. Can you hear me? Her voice echoed within the females mind. Who are you? If the girl wanted to block the connection, or had the strength to she could just shut her off, however she had the feeling that this girl wanted answers more then anything right now, and if she couldn't physically talk for the moment what better way then to get a little information in exchange for a little of her own. A small smirk forms across her lips.

Riarino whimpered softly to herself, much like a young wolf cub that had just been scorned by its parent, her fingertips gently brushed downwards against the glass tube as she felt herself floating down to the bottom of the test tube where she soon sat and curled herself up into a ball in a protective manner.

She wasn't self conscious about being naked, that, she was use to... it was being here that frightened her, she didn't even know how she had gotten here... she had always been so alert, so cautious, there was no possible way that this could have happened, unless...

She remembered! She smelt something funny before everything had gone black... had they used something on her? She felt no pain, so it couldn't have been a sleep dart... maybe a gas?

It wasn't long until she stopped thinking, thinking made her head hurt anyway, it was too human-like to think, it was foreign to her. When the greasy looking man had gone to look at some papers, another approached her, she was female... Riarino could smell her status, in her concrete jungle... she was like an Alpha of the females that resided within this concrete tree... Riarino had to admit... it was a weird tree... none like she had ever seen, in other words... the ShinRa building. Ria rubbed her head as something felt fuzzy within, it confused her a little as she could hear something... but it wasn't her... and her ears began to twitch in an alert way.

Can you hear me?

Who are you?

Riarino had a hard time understanding at first as she knew so little of the English language, but she knew a little. In response to the woman's first question, she did what most human did when showing they understood something, which was nod. But how could she answer the second, she wouldn't be able to speak in the tube without the woman not being able to hear her. She thought again, this time wondering how the woman had done what she did... it was almost like how she communicated with her mother, but in a different language, a different way of speaking. Perhaps that was it, it was somewhat the same but different. Even in her mind, her voice remained how it sounded when talking verbally, almost as if struggling to pronounce words.

"Rii? ... Ree-yah-ree-no... Ria-rino... Riarino..."

She grumbled to herself softly at the strain it took to communicate in their language, she rubbed her head gently before then lifting her body up slightly from her knees as she leaned closer to the glass, gazing at the beautiful woman with wide and innocent earthy green eyes, much like a sad puppy.

"Wha... want... t... to go... home..."

She didn't like it here, she didn't know why she was here... but she knew it was dangerous, this place wasn't safe for her, she could sense the emotions and intentions of everyone in the room, so much in fact, that it made her whole body shiver overwhelmingly. Softly, she whimpered.

This creature couldn't speak English very well. She knew Latin, but she doubted this girl knew any of that either. It was a bit frustrating not be very well understood and not being able to understand. This would only make things harder.

She breathes out a sigh and glances to Hojo across the room. She supposed she could find a way to set her free. She really wasn't fond of having him so distracted with other experiments. It wouldn't be the first time she's sabotaged something of his, and probably not the last. He'd be mad, but he'd get over it like always. She wouldn't be surprised if he knew she was up to something at this very moment.

She presses a hand to her hip and looks back at the wolf like girl. She couldn't just break her out this very second. Perhaps when there wasn't so many people standing around to witness the entire thing. She smirks a bit with the corner of her mouth.

Home? She mentally replies. I may be able to help. Was all that she said to her. Saying anymore may just confuse her. Hopefully the words 'help' and 'home' were enough to make her understand. The other issue was her being able to follow directions and cooperate. If she made one wrong move or was too loud when trying to escape then it would all be ruined, but then she couldn't say that she didn't at least try. It would just be up to this girl.

She moves off to the side after a moment, not wanting to be too suspicious. The Professor would probably be able to tell she was communicating mentally if she continued to stand there and stare. She went over to view the notes he was looking though, perhaps she could find out a bit more about her first.

Riarino's wide and curious eyes blinked in a rather dumbfounded manner, the woman before her didn't seem like the others in the strange room... Ria didn't feel tense nor the need to feel on guard, this woman posed no threat to her... she could've hurt her right here and now, but yet... she didn't? Maybe, just maybe, Riarino could trust her. It was then this woman sent more thoughts to her, but she could understand exactly what she said which caused Ria's eyes to light up with hope.

The only problem would be is to get her back to the wilds, The Forgotten Capital as Ria had no knowledge of where she was, she was powerless in such a place. Perhaps this woman would be able to help further? Another thing would be for Ria to obtain her items also, her wolf pelt-like dress which kept her warm as her body felt the cold all to easily, along with her weapons, her wiccan knife and treasured necklace, but again... she had no idea where they were now, perhaps the lady knew?

That was another problem, she couldn't keep thinking of this female as 'woman', surely there was something she called herself, and it would at least be nice to know.

"Y-You...? You... who?"

Though aside from that, Ria knew exactly what she had to do, she would obey and listen, she would do whatever need be to go home and back to her mother. Though only she could think of a way out of here for now, they wouldn't just let her out like this... she needed to give this woman an excuse to take her out of this room... but what? Ria looked around the tube, there wasn't much to use... however, there must've been something about this strange liquid, it clearly wasn't water and wasn't meant to be inhaled or breathed in through either orafice... but she wondered what would happen if it were mixed with her own blood. Surely, the liquid was not meant to mix with an open wound? She could've been wrong, but she had to try.

Looking at the silver haired woman, she nodded as if to say trust me, and with that, Ria sank her own, and rather sharp, teeth into her arm, yelping at first but soon she made a pretty decent wound and a little blood began to seep until mixing in with the greenish liquid before dissolving into it. It wasn't long until a red light began to flash next to the test tube.

Subject contaminated. I repeat, subject contaminated.

And before long, the liquid began to drain, and now hopefully this woman could finally help her.

[Deleted]

Isrieal turns her head to glance over her shoulder as the tank gave off the contamination warning. She straightened her stance and touched the Professors shoulder while some of the guards readied themselves but not wanting to get too close.

"Let me handle it Professor, things can't contaminate me as easily." She says with a smirk. "I will clean her up and get her someplace safe." The way it was worded it wasn't a complete like. She failed to say where that somewhere safe would be but it was assumed it would be a sterile room in the labs. "I can handle it."

With an agreement they left the room, giving her twenty minutes to take care of it. Once the liquid was done draining the door to the chamber snapped open, leaving her to tumble to the floor if she did not catch herself on anything. Isrieal watched and then walked over, her heels clicking against the cold floor before pausing before her, above her looking down with her striking eyes.

She extended a hand to help her up and answers the unspoken question. "Isrieal." Was all she said as she gave her name. She glances to her hand, awaiting the female to take it so that she could find her some clothes and hopefully get her the hell out of here.

[Riarino {Hybrid}]

Riarino felt her body shivering as she soon was freed from the tank and hit the cold hard flooring, she was somewhat hostile at first, seeing that all eyes were on her, she could sense the fear of the men clad in white coats... they had trapped her and yet they were afraid? Is that what people did? Trap what they fear? It all seemed pathetic, and rather sad, to her.

It wasn't long until the woman then approached her, Ria's ear twitched slightly at the sounds of her boots colliding against the ground. She offered her hand to her, though Ria was unsure on what to do with it... she looked at it for a while, sniffed at it soon before giving it a small yet friendly lick. Much like an obediant puppy, Ria made no attempts to run away just like that, instead, she just followed wherever she would be taken.

While following and being given countless odd stares which she didn't bother noticing, Ria began to ponder the name the woman had given her. She had a hard time pronouncing it and it seemed like such an odd name to her... maybe due to the fact that she knew no humans whatsoever and wasn't accustomed to what they called themselves, but she soon shook it off, thinking never was something she enjoyed... it didn't feel like her.

Still... she couldn't help but wonder...

Why was this woman being so helpful?
