She was definitely not human.

So the leader wasn't human. What could she be then? And why was Scorpiorilla so afraid of her? Now I had five hundred more questions, and this time, I was gonna get some answers. "Who..w-what are you?" I asked nervously. She smiled and said soothingly, "Don't worry your tiny little mortal head about that. Just get comfortable, I'm afraid you're going to be here a while." Then she smiled at me a little too nicely and left the room. I could hear out in the hall, hissing at my captor. "Treat her like our guest! She must trust us if we're going to get her to join us!" "And if she doesn't, he will-" then she cut herself off and whispered "You know what he'll do." And then their conversation ended, and I listened to the click of her heels on stone as she walked away. What was going on? Who was "he" and why does he want me to join something? I had to get out of this cell and find out what was going on. I slid across the floor like a flipping ninja (I've had a lot of practice sneaking out after curfew to meet with Bailie) and looked out the little window. Mr. Jerk Ape stood there on guard. Putting on my most desperate face, I banged on the window. He jumped ten feet in the air I had startled him so bad, and I inwardly smirked. How do ya like that, huh Gorilla? Now you know how it feels when you burst into my cell at like 2 in the morning. Anyways, he turned around and gave me the most savage, loathing look I have ever seen. I thought flip, I'm screwed. And then proceeded to make a split second decision and stood at the cell door, waiting for him to open it. The door flew open, almost smashing my face in, and I almost peed myself when he unhinged his jaw, and roared in my face. I ducked under his arm and into the hall. I could either turn left or right, and still running, I swerved the left and kept running. What I saw made me immediately regret my choice.
