Her friend was all but healed, the sedatives given to her at the research facility gone from her body. She'd been spared the mind-numbing drugs given to Taylor. Physically, she was completely healthy. Mentally, she still needed time. Their time spent in captivity would take awhile to get over, if they ever could. Nicole was going to stay on here at Wolf Town. It was an announcement she'd boldly made the moment Taylor had come by. She would not be returning to New Mexico. Her time there was done, or so she said. It was a sentiment Taylor could understand well. It was going to be hard to leave her friend behind. After all, they'd spent numerous years together. She didn't know what she would do with herself if she wasn't having to watch after Nicole. Throughout their time in the facility, she'd done everything she possibly could to protect her friend. Sadly, it often wasn't enough. No matter how hard she'd tried, she hadn't been able to save her from the horrible things she'd experienced.
