I feel.... so sick. Why do I feel so sick?
The thought passed across Anna's mind for what seemed the thousandth time as she tried to examine a tissue sample under a microscope down in the BPD forensic labs. However, she couldn't seem to make her eyes focus on the image in front of her and blinked blurrily before rubbing at her eyes. That only seemed to make her headache all the worse.
It had only been two days since she had spoken with Axel at the Nevermore Café. She had kept her promise to him and set up an appointment to see her doctor but the earliest she could be seen was on the weekend. She had accepted the date with no hesitation. After all, she was feeling a bit better by that point and three days wasn't that long to wait. Oh so she had thought....
Over the course of those two days, her symptoms had gotten steadily worse. A fever had set in and the headache had started to worsen once more. On top of that, her whole body felt sore at the joints and whenever she stood up too fast she was overcome by dizzy spells, but perhaps the thing that worried her the most were the bouts of anger she felt. They would come completely out of the blue with no reason. One moment she would be fine but in the next instant she would find herself overcome with a terrible pounding in her head and a savage anger.
She couldn't help recalling what Axel had said about seeking help if her symptoms got worse. And although she wouldn't admit it, she was beginning to get a little scared...
However, despite all of that she had refused to call into work. The BPD had received several new bodies that needed to be taken care of and she had a job to do. So she had forced herself to come in even though it was clear for anyone to see that she was very, very ill. And besides, she would be seeing the doctor tomorrow. If something was really, truly wrong with her then she would get the help she needed if she just waited one more day.
A suddenly pain shot through her head and she clenched her eyes shut, leaning forward to press her head against the cool metal of the counter where she was sitting.
"My head...."
She had been in so much pain this last day that when she hadn't even noticed the most startling thing about her appearance. Her hair had nearly turned completely white and her eyes..... |

Dorian was distracted and had been with everything. He'd come back to find all the samples of the serum destroyed. He'd decided not to ask questions and had gone back to doing his usual work. But lately something had been off. Anna hadn't been quite so chipper or well-looking lately and while he hadn't confronted her about anything, he wondered.
"Anna, this tissue sample is completely wrecked, can I get a-Anna!" He noticed her stumbling around with white hair and rushed to grab her by the arms and steady her. "Anna oh little snippet what did you do?" he asked with a slightly annoyed sigh. He could guess what she'd done. And he thought she was very, very stupid for it.

Anna, clutching at her head, had tried to rise to her feet only to stumble upon the first step. She would have fallen to the floor if someone hadn't caught her in that instant. She felt strong hands grab her and hold her in place, keeping her upright. Slowly, she opened her eyes and looked up to see Dorian holding her.
"Dorian? What...what are you doing here?"
She was so confused, she couldn't even recall that Dorian was scheduled to work that day in the labs. In fact, they were both working on the same body and yet she couldn't seem to remember that information. Nothing seemed to be sticking in her brain of lately except the pain... In fact it took her nearly a minute to process what Dorian had said to her.
"What did I...do? I-I tested the serum and then it-it was destroyed...Didn't I tell you that already?"

"I'm here for work silly girl. And to make sure you're alright" His eyes widened slightly but he remained calm. He led her to a seat and made her sit down. "No silly girl. You didn't tell me that. I thought all the vials were destroyed" he didn't know by who ,but he was sure they'd been obliterated. Sure, he'd had his suspicions but still. It would have done no good to confront Anna about it at all. "Did you test the serum on yourself, Anna? Can you understand what I'm saying?"

Oh, yes, send ME down to get the evidence, Sunshine thought to herself. As if looking at 'the little mermaid', as the dubbed corpse of the body found at the pool was, had been scary enough. She just took deep breaths. Up, down, up, down....Okay, she could do this. Just go talk to Anna and Dorian, check up on the mermaid, and leave. It was all she could do.
She pushed open the pink doors. Anna was crouched down and Dorian was comforting her. This...was different. She approached slowly.
"Anna?"

When Dorian led her over to a chair, she didn't resist and merely sat down with her hands pressed to her face. Everything just seemed far too intense now; the sounds, the scents, the sights. It was as if her senses were on overload, taking in far too much and yet unable to shut it out. Even now listening to Dorian speak it took her brain several moments to make sense of his words on top of all the other stimuli she was getting bombarded with.
"Yes, I used it. And the vials... they were destroyed by...by..."
Suddenly, another wave of fury broke over the young medical examiner alongside a jolt of pain in her head. Under her hands, her face contorted into something almost like a snarl. She lowered her hands to her lap where she clenched them so tightly they began to turn pale. She didn't notice that the nails seemed far sharper and tougher than normal. She didn't seem to care that were she was biting at her lip with her teeth, teeth that seemed longer then they should be, the skin had split and begun to bleed almost black blood.
"Shadow and Axel..."
Anna had barely whispered the names when she heard the door open and a voice call out her name. Another scent also came to her nose, the smell of lemonade, daisies and freshly baked cookies. Normally she would have loved those smells, but in that instant they sickened her. |

Dorian nodded slowly and watched as Anna became more animal like, with longer teeth and nails and blackish blood. Her face had contorted into savage anger and he held onto her tightly. "Anna, listen to me, Anna. This is the serum. We have to get it out of you somehow. It's killing you. This isn't a good thing at all" He jolted and turned to look at Sunshine. Oh no. Oh no no no. This could turn very ugly very quickly. "Sunshine get out of here right now!" he shouted. "Just stay away"

What? HGet out? But why? Sunshine needed to his information or some murderer was going to go free. Mayeb jyst taking it and going was the best option she had. With an awkward nod, she stepped back. Anna wasn't looking too good. If anything, there was a pain of her face Sunshine had never seen on the medical examiner before. Looking the way she did was, well, admittedly kind of creepy. "I'm just going to grab these notes and leave..." She stepped away from the dup and turned her back to look over the research provided on 'the little mermaid'. This would be a weird mystery...unless of course, this was all a big ploy. But as she grabbed the papers, her eyes fell on an empty vial. Was that part of the experiments? It didn't look like any tests she had ever seen. The syringe was freshly used, though. Sunshine wouldn't dare pick it up, but she did make a mental note of reporting that for sanitation.

In those moments when Sunshine entered the labs to find an unknown danger and Dorian warned her to leave, Anna could feel her mind being torn apart like tissue paper. The serum she had injected herself with had indeed given her many of the desirable traits that came from Others but it had backfired in a way she hadn't predicted. With these abilities came the worst traits of each species she had used.
And in combination, they were starting to tear the young woman apart. And the first thing the serum was destroying was her mind.
Anna screamed as she pressed her hands to the sides of her head, a sound that wasn't quite human anymore. It felt as if her mind were filled with a thousand burning knives that were stabbing and cutting away at her brain. And as her mind turned into something little more then a rabid animal, all that was left for her to feel in that moment was a fury and rage that knew no rhyme or reason.
Suddenly, her eyes sprang open to reveal crimson pupils and she lashed out violently at Dorian. Despite the Unseelie's firm hold on her arms, she broke the hold easily with a strength that was far greater than any single human could possess. She slammed into Dorain's chest with a savage look on her face before darting away from him.
She stood for a moment next to a table that held several pieces of equipment, panting heavily and looking like a wild animal while her starkly white hair caught the florescent light from overhead. She had been staring at Dorian fixedly but a slight noise made her turn until her blood-red eyes landed on the figure of Sunshine.
Without warning, she let out what could only be described as a snarl before rushing straight towards the young woman. The kind, funny and strange girl called Anna was nowhere to be seen in that moment. All that was left in her face in that moment was a wild creature, a monster.

"No Sunshine, I'll get the test results to you just GET. OUT. NOW" He didn't know how long until Anna did something violent towards herself or him, but he wasn't going to stand for an unsuspecting person coming in and making themselves a target. In his moment of distraction Anna shoved him so hard he went flying and landed on the hard floor, disorienting him and breaking his glamour, revealing his true form. He looked up blearily to see Anna rushing at Sunshine. "SUNSHINE RUN" he shouted as he heaved himself to his feet and took off after Anna. There was too much iron in here, it made him weak. Too weak to use powers and far too weak to fly ,even if would be faster. He had to get to Sunshine before Anna ripped her apart in the frenetic state she was in.

Well, Sunshine got what she wanted. Step two; follow Dorian's advice and get out. Now the question was, should she brisk walk or actually make a bolt for it? So, Sunshine started the brisk walk, only gaining speed when she saw the pink doors in plain sight. A loud sound like metal slamming perked her her speed a bit more. But she didn't bother turning around, or asking if Anna or Dorian was okay. Whoever fell was on their own. If Dorian wanted her to run, she was going to run. Amid Dorian telling her to go, Sunshine heard another sound. This sound chilled her, and suddenly, everything was no longer the forensics lab, and she was frozen in place, one foot literally out the door.
The tower in Thorn Manor had the iron heavy scent of blood. The shrieks of the duo that had grabbed her were completely inhuman. An unseen figure had walked behind her to tighten the chains that were binding her hands. Sunshine was creaming, but the gag in front of her mouth, that tasted like shitty dollar store detergent and blood, was keeping her cries for help quiet.
"Keep her tight, you two," the cold British accent commanded over their inhuman shrieking. "And don't touch that hair!"
Sunshine was struggling, trying to get away from all of them. The white fangs, the searing red eyes, the hissing, the hands groping for her body, the touches when those hands did make contact being the type of cold that burned...no one would be resucing her [?i]

When Sunshine hesitated by the door, her mind forced back to another horrible memory from her past, the wild thing that was Anna now ran straight into her with enough force to send them falling to the floor.
As soon as they hit the tiles, Anna was on top of Sunshine. She slashed violently at the young woman with razor-sharp nails, opening cuts over whatever part of her body she could reach. An uncontrollable bloodlust had settled over Anna as the first drops of blood appeared and the coppery scent filled the air. What's more, her mind was nothing more then a rolling mass of bestial desires and viciousness that couldn't be tamed as the serum worked its was through her body, changing her in ways no human mind could endure.
Anna had created the serum with the hopes it would help the people of Bellerouge. She had tested it on herself in a moment of anger, desperate to prove that it wasn't some foolish dream but a reality that could be reached. Now the truth and danger of what she had done was beyond anyone's control, least of all hers.

Dorian ran over to where Anna and Sunshine were on the ground. He tried grabbing Anna off but she was struggling too much. He ran to where his violin was and picked it up. "Hold on Sunshine! You'll be alright just give me a second!" He tuned his violin and began playing a tune he hadn't played in a long time. If there was Unseelie in that serum, and he had reason to believe there was because he had given it to her himself, the music would lull her mind enough he'd have a few minutes to pull her off Sunshine and get the blond out of the lab.

As if the horror of the sound hadn't scared Sunshine enough, the second things that scared her was the digging of sharp nails into her shoulder. Something had ran into and forced her onto the ground. Sunshyine had snapped out of the nightmare to find something on top of her.
No. Someone.
Anna had pinned her down, the nails digging deep into her shoulder. Those nails left that dig and had begun swiping. Sunshine only hand enough time to put up her arms to protect her face. The sharp nails - when was the last time Anna got a manicure? - were cutting into her forearms, grazing her elbow bone. Frustrated, confused tears were crawling into her eyes, but they didn't fall. She gritted her teeth to prevent a scream from coming out. But eventually, she had to breathe, and grunted in pain each time Anna struck her.
Violin music started playing. Confusing, but hopefully it would be effective.

It wasn't until the first note of the violin began that Anna paused in her brutal assault on Sunshine. By that point the tips of her nails were dripping blood but her attacks came to a halt as Dorian played the instrument.
She let out a low hiss at the music before suddenly leaping off of where she had pinned Sunshine and moving towards the far wall. Her movements were tense as her now blood-red eyes focused on Dorian's face, her body poised low to the ground and specks of blood staining her clothes. She bared her teeth at the Unseelie but kept a steady distance between herself and him, never letting him draw closer then a few yards.
For a moment they merely stood facing each other, Sunshine bleeding between the two of them as they stared each other down. It seemed for a few moments that Dorian's music was indeed lulling the enraged Anna, calming her enough so that she merely stood across the room from them and listened to the notes being produced. This, however, proved to be a false hope.
One moment she was merely standing and staring at Dorian and Sunshine, but in the next instant she had moved with a speed that bespoke of Other ability. Grasping the table closest to her, she suddenly threw it with inhumane strength at the pair across from her, causing all the equipment and chemicals sitting on the table to rain down on them in a dangerous hail.
