A girl blinks,

Chatterbox: Inkwell

A girl blinks,

A girl blinks, her eyes adjusting to the darkness. She steps up, and feels heavy, her whole body weighted down. Shaking it off, she tries to remember how she got here... But nothing comes up, only her name. Danielle. feeling around the small room, Danielle sees she is trapped inside metal bars.

She pulls at the bars, using all her strength to maybe get herself out. But no, Danielle knows in the deep of her mind that she can't. Finally losing her energy, she plops down, scrapping at the floor. To her surprise, she finds her nails make high-pitched screeching noises. But, wait; Those aren't nails... And to her horror, Danielle realizes who she actuallly looks like.

Long claws replace her hands, with sharp spikes covering her arms. A tail curls around her legs, its spikes poking at her feet. Even her legs are spikey and uncomfortable, with large dragon-like feet. Danielle feels her back, where she could feel, once more, the deadly and huge thorns. She was a monster. A monster of spikes.

Sitting down uncomfortably, she wondered again who she was, and what had happened...One word. SEL.

The People I have right now: Katydid, 

*** 

Danielle jerks up from her sleep, hearing a loud yelling noise. Jumping up, she looks out the bars to see a tall and bulky man making his way toward her.

"Wake up! Wake up everybody!" the man yells. Danielle blinks. There are more people, she realizes, more people like me. 

Danielle eagerly watches as the man unlocks her cell. But disappointment surges through her as she sees a rather large gun attached to his belt. Her wings drooping, she follows the man out of the room. She passes cells with people still in them, people with strange mutations such as Danielle's.

When she reaches the destination, a soft echoing murmuring comes to her ears. It reminds her of something, and so does the large room. Its round tables, the talking from all around, says of one word. Cafeteria. Searching for more memories, she picks up a tray and walks over to get some food.

Danielle does this on her own accord, and while she can't figure out why, she knows how the 'cafeteria' works. When a tall lady gives her food, a disgusting smell trails to her nose. Looking down, she sees that the 'food' really doesn't look like food, more like slop. Why Danielle realizes this, she couldn't know, but she decided that this wasn't important at the time. What she thought was important was finding a table.

Sitting down at the closest one, she eats her food slowly. Her tail curls around her legs, and her wings awkwardly droop beside her. Hearing footsteps, she looks up to see a girl join her table. 

"Hello?" Danielle eyes the girl. "Who're you?"

"Indigo," She smiles. "And you?"

Danielle thinks for a moment, and replies, "Danie. Call me Danie."

"Nice to meet you... Danie." She hesitates. "Have we met before?"

"...I'm not sure." For Indigo's name did ring a bell. Shaking it off, she looks over to see another join the table. Her appearance.... Was striking.

The girl wore a hooded black cloak, which covered her entire body. The only way Danielle could tell she was a girl by her tied long hair that hung from her neck. Her entire body seemed made out of a shadow.

"Hello!" Indigo grins. "I'm Indigo! Who may you be?"

The girl, with her bright bright yellow eyes, glared at her. "I'm somebody."

"Somebody? As in, the name, or, as in just 'somebody'?" Danielle managed to ask, smirking.

"Somebody," is all she says, plopping down next to us. Danielle blinks, but continues eating her food.

As breakfast begins to end, a loud crash starts up the cafeteria. Jumping up, Danielle looks over to see a girl struggling between two guards. The girl shoots water and ice out of her hand, but she seemed to grow weaker and weaker. Danielle squeezed between people, who where already gathering around the fight. Her monster-like body was awkward in this amount of people, and finally getting frustrated, she swept her tail around till people made enough room for her.

"Let me go! I hate you!" the girl cries, as the men hold her down. She starts again but is limp once one of the guards sticks a needle into her arm. Pulling her across the ground, they yell, "Make way! Make way!"

"That's some stamina," Indigo whispers behind me.

"More like stupidity," Somebody growls right next to me. "Who would do a kind of thing like that?"

"To escape," I sigh.

I didn't introduce everyone, sorry!
