Aislinn had insisted on staying by her side, demanding a bed be placed in the room for her to watch over her around the clock. Drakk and Jex had tried everything to get her to rest, but failed. Aislinn rushed to her side, holding a cup of water to her mouth for a drink. Joslin drank the water offered to her, confused and disoriented. She remembered the soldiers… They had taken her… And a lab. Pain. Blackness. She sat up to fight, but the dizziness overwhelmed her. What had they done? Pain shot through her body, no part without an ache. Her head throbbed. Without thinking, she reached up and felt, “My horns! Wha—” She felt with both hands, growing panicked. “My horns are gone! You!” she growled, diving for Aislinn. “Wait! You are hurt! It wasn’t me! I’m taking care of you now, lay down now!” Aislinn yelled back. A human? How was a human taking care of her, and why was she not afraid? It didn’t matter. She was a human, thus an enemy. Joslin inhaled a deep breath, preparing to unleash a flame so hot it would burn the bitch to ashes when a massive red and black blur leaped on top of her and held her down.
