Among the animalistic screeching of experiments, Nico could hear shallow breathing that had stopped abruptly and something softly scraping the floor. "Ey, Mr. Vazzie?" She called out. "That you?" She began walking down the hallway, flashlight shining brightly in the damp hallway. The light fell upon a scaly body and gen immediately turned off the light. She kicked off her shoes, stepping lightly as not to make a sound as she snuck around the experiment, grabbing their hands and holding them behind their back. "Silenciar." she hissed.

Lacey screamed as the scientist grabbed her hands and instantly began struggling against their hold. She tried to stomp on the scientists foot, but there was only so much that the child could do. "Leggo of me!" She said as tears streamed down her face. "I'll scratch your face off" She tried to keep her voice even and tough sounding, but failed miserably.

Ash heard the scream and sprinted towards Lacey,ramming into the scientist holding her."Back off!" She whispered angrily at the scientist.She used her 'signature move' and flipped backwards unsheating her knives.The cold white light glinted on the sharp metal as she tapped her shoes on the metal floor.She hoped Ayden didn't come,he would only get in the way again.(not to be mean,just drama lmao she means to stay back.)

"Silenciar! Good lord!" She lifted the kid off of the ground by her shoulders/arms. "Be quiet, or you'll g-Are you crying?!" Nico made a concerned face. "Shush." She grumbled, putting some pressure on her diaphragm to quiet her screams. A girl slammed into her, making her drop the child. "Another one?" She growled. "CODE OLIVE!" She screamed, sending idle scientists into action. The others slapped the weapon out of the winged girl's hand and get her back to her cell. Nico tried to haul the struggling child back to her office by the arm.

"Ash!" Lacey shouted, reaching towards the girl who she had allowed to become her friend. "Leave her alone!". She bit at the scientists arm while trying to walk in the direction of the winged girl.

"Shoot. What did they do now..." Aydan muttered, hearing the shouting. He turned to the experiment. "I don't suppose that you could stay here while I go help the, could you?" He asked. Without waiting for a response he sprinted in the direction that Lacey and Ashes had run off in, but took multiple wrong turns and was taking much longer finding them than he would have liked.

Nico let out a sharp hiss, flinching slightly at the child's bite. "Be quiet!" She snarled, swiftly objecting her with a bit of tranquilizer.

Everyone had gone. 1201 sat up, arms around their knees. "Pa, little yellow. Little yellow." They mumbled in a bit of a tune. "Little yellow loves little teal. Little teal, little teal. Little vi'let, little vi'let. Loves little yellow. Little yellow..."

Lacey went limp in the scientist's arm

Aydan ran down hallways calling Lacey and Ash's names. Where are they... He muttered. Oh god if they get hurt... those poor kids... He kept muttering, getting more and more frustrated every time he turned into a new hallway. "Gosh darn it!"he shouted eventually, slamming his fists against a wall before leaning against it, closing his eyes and taking deep, slow breaths.

"Phew." Nico sighed hastily, dragging the scaly child into her office and locking the door. She examined her wrists and ankles. "No tags...?" she muttered.

Aydan steppen away from the wall. He wasn't just going to give up. He continued searching for the children until he saw a scientist enter a door while holding a child out of the corner of his eye. "Hey!" He shouted. He stormed down the hallway. He couldn't tell which doorway they had entered from his angle, so instead he just kept calling for Lacey hoping she'd hear him.

"Hey!" She screamed at the whitecoat that took her knife."Let go of me!" She screamed and kicked and punched while he held her.She saw it laying on the ground and she tried to grab it.The whitecoat jammed his elbow into her head and she struggled to see,then finally everything went black.
