"Is this me", I asked Mear. He nodded. I was so surprised. Although it was half done, It looked... absolutely amazing. No, that's not the word. Beautiful? Higher than that... I mean, words couldn't describe how wonderful of a painter Mear is and how this picture looked. Nothing less from him, I guess.
"It's.... simply.... beautiful. Although...” I said, looking very closely to the picture. Mear looked up at me with the slight expression of worry stuck to his face. I couldn't help it but chuckle a bit.
"I'm just joshing with you, Mear. There are no flaws in this in my eyes.” I informed him. He sighed heavily as if he was relieved. I couldn’t help but smile. I felt my cheeks flushing red. I gave him back his sketchbook and looked up to hide my flushed cheeks. In a second, they lost its rosy color and I attempted to start a conversation again.
“I’m… really glad you’re staying” I told him. He looked at me and nodded.
“Yeah…”
“….. You said you was a traveler right?”
“Indeed.”
“Was it pretty lonely traveling by yourself?”
“Not really.”
“Oh… I wouldn’t like to travel alone. I actually hate it. It’s no fun, ya know”, I chuckled. That wasn’t the real reason I didn’t like being alone but I just wanted to keep the conversation between to be simple and clean so I wouldn’t scare him of or nothing. He looked at me with one eyebrow raised.
“Fun?”
“Well, yeah. Hanging around with others is fun, ya know?”
“Well, I wouldn’t know.”
“Mmm. ._.U well…” I stood up and stretched. I looked down at him. “You will have lots of ‘fun’ here, bud. That’s a 100 percent guarantee!” I joked. I started to walk back into the house. I looked back to him.
“And don’t be running off from us. We don’t bite… much”, I winked. When I turned back to the front of me, my head felt woozy. Everything around me was spinning. Then the migraine began. The excruciating pain! I held my head and dropped to my knees. I let out a painful groan and collapsed to the floor…. Everything suddenly just blacked out after that…

The old nurse tapped on the tube of where test subject 2000563. How she envied the experiment that her lovely son has worked on day and night with a strong passion.
“Oh my dear boy”, she spoke out but to herself. “Why work so hard on this ‘thing’…” She began to tap the orange test tube again and continued to yap.
“I wish you would just give up… there is no point in finding the answer. It will never be found. Just let her die.” Her tapping turned to scratching. Her anger feeding off her face expression.
“Just die, you retched thing”, she threatened the girl in the tube.
“Nurse”, a familiar voice called. She turned to see the Doctor.
“Yes my dear son?”
“Stop talking to my test subjects in such a manner *yawn*”
The nurse looked down in embarrassment. She clenched her fist and looked upon her son with a serious face.
“My son, please stop with this. You are not getting enough sleep at night. Your health is low as it is. Please stop with the experiment!”
“Negative”, the young doctor replied, combing his brown hair back with his fingers. “I must find the cure. I must turn myself gijinka. Doing so… I will become more powerful and have great health.”
“You are a doctor. Can’t you just make a cure? Wouldn’t that make sense?”
“True. But I rather turn gijinka”, he joked and laughed. He than began to cough into a handkerchief. Blood coughed up unto the napkin.
“Oh dear. Time to get back to work”, He said. He attempted to reach for his research papers but then the nurse grabbed them first.
“My beautiful son, would you please rest” she begged.
He shook his head, coughed more, and reached for his papers in her hands but she moved it out of the way.
“Please I beg of you!” she pleaded, sounding more of a cry.
He declined her offer again and reached for the papers once more with more force. She backed away from him and attempted to run but accidentally tripped. The papers flew everywhere.
“Mother, now look what you have done”, the Doctor yelled. He coughed harder into the napkin. He was coughing so hard, he accidentally fell upon his main computer hard and caused a malfunction in the lab. Sirens sounded and red light lit from everywhere. The water from test subject 2000563’s tank started to drain. The doctor and the nurse watched in terror as the girl in the tank opened her big, bloodshot red eyes.

My eyes fluttered open. Was that another vision…? Where… where am I now? Sitting up, I realized I was in my room. My clothes were off; a warm towel was on my head with a towel on my body Did someone bath me when I was out unconscious?? , and some clothes were lying on the bed. It looked like new clothes. A note was laying on it. It read:
Hey Lupe! It looks like I wasn’t the only one who forgot their birthday this year! Happy Belated Birthday! :3
♥ Estelle
“Heh…” I began to clothe myself with the clothing Estelle made for me. I looked into the mirror.
“Hmm... she did a good job.”
I heard 3 knocks on the door.
“Umm… Come in!”
Continue somebody? :3
She had another vision from her past! :O
