' ... it's a warning. '

Since the incident with Lex, we haven't spoke to each other (if it wasn't something serious). Not that I care that much, I have better things to do....

Like finding out what's going on with Willow and why is Jasper so distance from me?

Willow came back from somewhere and he's like a whole new person, he was mostly kind person, talkative and caring.

Now, he is strange... I must say, he became cold to EVERYONE, even dr. Reese. That Mother fucker had a CRUSH on her! I tried to talk to him, but he wont even respond! I even tried to push his buttons but nothing happed.

His physical appearance changed too, not that much, but the little details..

He has dark circles under eyes, his veins are darker like he has frickin' dark blood or something, and every night he's going to the laboratory under school.

I at least got it together with Jasper, I think...

"Jasper, please open the door!"

I whispered/shouted, knocking on the door. "Please, I have to talk to you about Willow!" When I mentioned him she finally opened the door. "Dalia! What the hell do you want?" Jas. said still half sleeping. She eventually let me in after I told her my suspicions about Willows behavior.

We talked, almost all night, and not just one. We gathered all info about Willows strange behavior and new routine. This whole situation made us bond. Although I don't say it much....ever, I wouldn't know waht to do without her, she's my best and only friend in this miserable place.

Now we have a day-off school and laboratory things (dr. Reese suggested it to other Doctors to increase good mood, and they agreed) so we now hang out somewhere out off their sight planning what should we do about Willow, it has been over a month since we started to ehm take a closer look at his routine...

YES we were stalking him.. a little, for good cause of course!

We were talking behind a building where are our rooms.

"You know we can't stalk him from afar forever, we have to investigate further."

"I know Jas, but how? There are cameras everywhere!" I replied frustrated. Both of was were thinking for a couple of minutes then Jasper got an idea 💡.

"How about we knock down some doctor, I shapeshift to look like the doc and go after Willow?" "Hm...it would be difficult to find the right doctor that would go to same destination as Willow. And still it would be hard to be unseen by a camera. We know that at some time he goes to a lab and is there all night, they are gonna make me go to a lab tomorrow.. I could try to not black - out, sneak somehow out and hide until is Willows time to go to lab.... How does that sounds?"

Jasper took my idea in for a few seconds and answered: " You know.. it's extremely risky to do that?"

"Yep"

"You would be punished" Jas stammered out.

"Uhuh"

"Still wiling to do it" I mocked her with a smile on my face leaning closer to her. She just went from worried to annoyed.

" Are you clinically insane or incredibly annoying?"

"Don't know, probably both" I just smirked at her rolling eyes. Then in the evening we went to our rooms, Lex was already there. We still didn't talk, only when we needed to.

Now I'm after shower doing my routine in my pajama pants and bra, when I heard a knock on the bathroom door.

"What is it?" I responded loudly for Lex to hear me. Then I come out the bathroom to be greeted by Jasper in front of me ( and Lex on her bed sharpening her katana)

"Hey Jas what's going on?"

"I a..... Am I disturbing... something?"

I glanced at her confused, then it kinda hit me..... I'm only in my bra and pajama pants.

"No, not at all, I was just goin' out of the shower. Why are you here, I thought we discussed everything."

Jasper's face look so red, is she sick??

"I just wanted to do a recap.. but I think we got e-everything sorted. I should go now-"

Then we just stared to each others eyes, until Lex did that weird "uhm" 'cough'.

Our gaze went to her, she just gave me a look to eather go out the room with Jasper or that J. should go herself.

I just rolled my eyes at her and she escorted Jasper out the room.

" You can tell me that before breakfast, after that they're gonna escort me into lab-" she looked like she zoned out so I snapped my fingers in front of her eyes.

She blinked and.... Blushed???

"- you good??"

"Yea, I just.. um..you never had let me see you without a shirt so I was taken back my your fit posture, it's kinda hot ngl"

She mumbled the last part, but I still heard her. "I'll take that as a compliment then" Then she gave me that warm smile that even sun can't match. "You should"

I chuckled at her response "thanks" I smiled back "Bye tomorrow" "Bye"

I closed the door, wanted to go back to bathtoom, but Lex's word's stopped me.

"She seems to like you"

I raised an eyebrow while looking at her.

"What do you mean by that? And since when you decided to talk to me? She calmly put down her katana to it's place next to her bed. "I'm symply saying that she seems to like you and I talked to you when it was needed, so I don't know what's the problem"

"The problem is that I know nothing about you, you're my fuckin roomate, we share this room- this is our home."

"You call this place home?"

My offended ass came closer to her complaining "Hey! I had put ALOT of effort into this room, I practicality build it!"

There was a silence after my little speech. Lex was looking kinda confused about what I said...and then she replied with:

"I meant this whole place, they are keeping us in here making experiments on us, don't you understand? This place is not home, home is with your family not with doctors and guards."

My expression changed from offended to pale and maybe a little sad, but only a little.

"The only person that I got is Jasper, my friend. I have no family out there-"
