Their Human

Chapter three: thoughts

Steel grey eyes stared back at me, the only thing that filled them was death and what looked like malicious intent. It seemed like I had interrupted his sleep, or maybe this whole time he had been trying to ignore me and my proding on his hair killed the last bit of his patience. I couldn't tell which was which, I was too shocked and he looked like he was ready to rip my guts out of my body.

He had a wild look in his eyes, like he was thinking of every painful thing he'd like to do to me. How could such beautiful, unique eyes look so feral? I noticed that his grey eyes had tiny red specks in them. Now that is a colour combination I have never seen before. I forgot all about the shock I had just felt and quickly jotted that down in the tablet, making him growl again.

I looked back up at him and he gave me a shocked look. Now he was the surprised one, but why? I never threatened to degut him with my eyes. He growled again, resembling a lion. Oh, I see now. He's trying to scare me. I also jotted that down, which made him surprise me even more.

He sighed in what sounded like defeat.

Really? Three growls and he's done? That's the most dangerous man in the world?

"Maybe they have the wrong guy." I mumbled, pursing my lips together. I looked back up at him, my brows raising when I saw his offended look.

"What?" I asked him, placing a hand on my hip. He rolled his eyes and slumped back on the metal chair, his eyes stuck on the ceiling.

This isn't a good start. If he does that then he may not cooperate with me. I need to get his attention again. "Uh hello..." I said, trying to think of something else to say.

"I'm Akielia Rutherford, your assigned scientist and caretaker." Introducing myself was a good start. Maybe he'll also tell me his name and I won't have to keep calling him by his pronouns. "What's your name?" I asked him with a smile.

He ignored me and instead closed his eyes. He shuffled around the chair, the chains clinking against each other as he did that. They looked heavy and he looked uncomfortable. How long has he had to sit there? His back must be killing him.

"Would you like me to arrange a bed for you?" I asked him, slowly moving closer to him. He didn't answer.

I guess he's fine...

"How about some clothes? Would you like that?" I asked again. This time, he lifted his head up and looked at me. That's all he did. After a few seconds, he threw his head back again, continuing to look at the black painted ceiling. I wonder why it was black on his side. Perhaps he did not like the light?

Maybe I've done enough research for my first day. I'm pretty hungry too. With a soft goodbye to him, I turned and stepped out of his area, making sure that the glass and metal walls were closed. After that I sat down for a while and rewrote all that I've discovered for today. About his blue hair having white roots towards his scalp. It could just be hairdye wearing off though, but then that would mean that his hair is white.

I wrote about his eyes being red and grey and I wrote about his lion-like growls, along with the screech he gave earlier today. Although, lions can't screech like that. I don't know what animal does. After writing everything I needed to write. I saved the file and turned off the tablet, deciding to call it a day. I only had two hours until my shift was over anyways. I'm sure no one would have minded.

I grabbed my stuff and headed out, not before switching the lights off and making sure that everything was locked.

I walked down the empty hallway with two thoughts in my mind: Avoid Damien at all costs and get some food urgently.

I made it to the lunch hall and sighed in relief. I caught a whiff of all the delicious foods and pastries being served and my stomach growled loudly. I ordered lunch and went to sit down next to Mica, who was munching on a pie. "Hey, Akie." He greeted, wiping gravy from his cheek with a paper towel. I waved at him and unwrapped my spicy chicken sandwich, taking a quick bite out of it. My eyes rolled back at the taste of the tangy hot sauce I've grown to love so much. They served the best sandwiches.
