Without another word Starr got up to his 6'00" height and ambled down the steep stairway of their shared three story. Sure enough what greeted them was Beo leaning over their guest; meticulously decorating her in a halo of flowers.

Nina looked at the rest of his handiwork. Beo had pulled a red sheet up to her shoulders. The whole thing was also sprinkled with blooms. A she entered Beo gave a quick nod in Nina's direction.

'Man you need to blow something up or punch someone. Anything so you can grow a pair,'

Beo stood up towering over Starr "How about I punch you in the face?" He asked Starr in sign then added on: "Asshole." Starr laughed with a twisted sort of glee.

'There he is! That's the horribly vicious pyromaniac I was looking for!' Starr jumped around madly clapping his hands in triumph. Nina said nothing, yanking her honey coloured hair into a scrappy braid.

The clone began to stir on the floor and everyone automatically stepped closer to her. Nina dived between them holding her hands out in a halting gesture; an unshakeable wall between them and her patient.

'Don't surround her when she wakes up!' she shouted at the guys, too many people close by would overwhelm and terrify her.

Both Patrick and Starr wore innocent expressions.

'Nina honey, we were just seeing is she was alright,' Patrick told her in a soothing voice. She planted her hands firmly on her hips.

'Uh, huh,' she said because there was no way in hell she was letting them near her patient. 'Look I'll make it simple. Back away... or I'll scratch your eyes out. Got it?' they held their hands up in silent surrender, backing all the way up to the corner.

Nina smiled. 'Better,' she told them nodding her thanks. Turning back to her patient she ignored the muttered 'Your girlfriend scares me sometimes,' line from Starr and touched Beo lightly on the shoulder who had again gone back to decorating her in flowers.

'She's beautiful Beo, but you'll have to step back with the others. We don't want to overwhelm her,' he nodded looking sad at leaving her side, but went to stand with Starr and Patrick without objection.

In that same moment their guest opened her eyes sucking in a sharp breath and dislodging all the flowers Beo had placed around her.

You felt different. Its' eyes were not working so You couldn't see anything, but You also remembered not being able to see anything just before it stopped sleeping, so You liked it.

You still felt strange though, what You was sleeping on didn't feel like its' room bed or the other bed or what You and the ones with blank clothes used to move around. You didn't like that but You also didn't want its' eyes to work again so it could see what it was lying on.

Words drifted towards You. A few at a time at first but then there were lots. You didn't know most of the words, You couldn't even really distinguish between the different sounds the words made.

You got a strange feeling around its' eyes and they began moving without You telling them to until they opened. You saw flashes and swirls of colour, it didn't know the words for anything but there were ones with blank clothes moving around it. Except they weren't wearing blank clothes they were different.

They were ones without blank clothes.

A one without blank clothes moved towards You sitting down like You now was. You looked to their chest. There was swelling there so they must have been a female.

The female held onto You's wrist but it wasn't like how master had done it the female's hold was lighter. 'Don't worry. I'm Nina'

I'm Nina... You knew words like that

it's how Master gave You Master's designatiom

You realised this female's designation must be Nina. 'What's your name?' You didn't know the words coming out of the females mouth, but felt an urge to try and make words come out of its' mouth again. Opening it wide, You had a heavy feeling in its' chest.

It didn't work again.

Nina's hand was put in front of You. 'Come with me we'll get you all set up and comfortable,'

You moved its' head side to side. It had seen some ones with blank clothes do the same thing when they didn't want to do something, also You wasn't supposed to follow anybody except Master, and this Nina didn't look like Master at all.

'I get that you're probably scared right now but we've set up a room for you, it has bed in it which has got to be more comfortable than the floor,' You felt better after hearing those words. You's room bed was safe. room bed! You knew room bed was safe. Nothing ever happened there.

Nina had to be somebody safe. How else would Nina have known about room bed? You moved to follow Nina but stopped. Something heavy was hanging off of You.

It was clothes.

You had never had clothes before, You didn't like them that much it made its' skin feel scratchy.

Nina's hand was still in front of You. You did not know if it was supposed to take Nina's hand or if Nina was like master and would just grab You's. After a while Nina held on to You's hand Pulling You to standing very gently. It didn't expect this.

But You didn't do anything to stop Nina. You wanted to follow, the female did not look like the ones You wasn't supposed to follow so Master would not be angry. It reasoned to itself.

You's room bed was not as far as it remembered. Then when Nina opened the door You wasn't sure what was happening. This room bed looked nothing like You's room bed. You wasn't sure if it should lie down on it.

Nina moved towards the room bed and gestured for You to lie down. But You didn't know if it should trust Nina anymore. this was not it's room bed. but it wasn't like the other bed either... it was not dark and it did not make You feel bad.

Maybe You should trust Nina?

Nina hadn't done anything to hurt You and You knew the female was not like the ones it wasn't supposed to follow. This other, other bed looked very nice to You, so You followed Nina further into this new room, towards this new other bed and went to lie down.

The moment You did so its' eyes were heavy again, like they were about to let You sleep, even though You thought it had been already sleeping for a while.

You could not think anymore, it only wanted sleep.
