I stare at the paper that 'Dr. Martin' gave me. Testing... I shake my head, clearing my thoughts. "What should I do..?" Suddenly, from the corner of my extremely small room, a shadow replies.  "Nothing, that's the only option..." I yelp, being the chicken that I am. "EEP!" Now I think I'm going insane from being kept in such a small space. Panic. I throw what I have. A paper. That's what I throw. The paper glitters harmlessly through the air, right to the feet of a shoeless little girl. "Hello." "EEEEEP!" She slaps her hand over my mouth. "Quiet!" She flicks her Foxtail and lays her ears flat down on her head in an annoyed fashion. I look at the 3 foot Fox girl in front of me. She has a cute floral dress and glossy hair that curls around her ears and ends near her tail. "You've spent 3 days here. Are you still scared of fusions? you're gonna be one too in 3 hours, 16 minutes, and 8- no, 7 seconds, if everything goes according to the manager's plan." I sit back dumbfounded. After today, I'll be changed. Forever. FOREVER. An owl. "Yea, you'll one with that sassy owl. She's a fighter, clawed out one of the worker's eyes. A bloody mess." "How would you know that? How do you know when I got here? How do you-" "I sneak around, shadows are my specialty." She slips back into the shadows, but now she is the shadow. "By the way," She emerges from the shadows, an amber glow in her eyes. "My name is Alkita." She slips through the shadows out of my room and looks through the glass. "I'm considered a Gaurd Dog for the scientists. Or should I say, Tattle-Tail."
