Can it be.. undone?

Azazel just sighed.

"No I haven't." he told her.

"....well... okay, that's a lie. I have been." he admitted.

"Secret stuff. But not illegal stuff." he went on.

"I mean, it's barely legal, but still legal. And there's some ethical debate on it, but it's just mining for ore, so I say it ISN'T an issue." he insisted.

"...regardless, something like that wouldn't cause a LOCKDOWN." he assured her.

"Wonder when we'll find out what this is about, though..." he mumbled.

"I have absolutely no idea." Aedan admitted.

"Doubt we'll ha---" She started before freezing as the door was opened - via mana of course - and someone stepped in. They took one look at the pair of them before walking into the dorm moreso, starting to look through everything. They weren't say anything though.

"Uhhh..."

"...................." Azazel was silent for a moment, before he tossed a blanket over to Aedan, covering her up.

He knew she didn't really care that much about being exposed, but he decided to make things just that little bit less awkward. Potentially, anyway.

"Yes?" he then asked.

"Who are you?" he asked them.

"What are you doing here?" he asked further.

"And can we help you?" he then inquired, before pausing a moment.

"...and I assume this is about the lockdown." he added.

They stood up and looked over to Azazel, looking him from head to toe.

"I realise that me searching through here will be for naught, but I must in order to rule out any possible issues." They stated.

"I would suggest you two stay there, and stay out of my way while I do so. If youattempt to interfere, or flee, you will not be in a good state as punishments will be handed down." With that, they both did and did not answer Azazels question.

"....yuh-huh." Azazel responded.

"Whatever." he said.

He then sighed, and sat back down, turning his attention to the TV.

"Suppose I can't fault the efficiency in that answer." he muttered.

"Kinda like dealing with a government organization." he then said, before looking at Aedan.

"And yes, demons in Hell ARE better company than people with that attitude." he told her with a very slight smirk.

"Their personalities may be putrid, but they're still personalities." he added.

That was one thing that was starting to rub off on him from Aedan... he was getting a bit of her snark and smart-ass.

"Well, as close to a personality as one can get without being a person." Aedan then said coolly.

Aboyut half an hour later, the new person approached them as they took off a pair of gloves.

"All right, I have finished the check in here and all seems clear." They stated.

"Now I need to ask, have either of you witnessed or even heard of anything odd. And I mean anything. It can be minor as hell, such as someone parking in the wrong spot."

Azazel and Aedan looked at each other, and thought for a moment.

"Uhhhh.... no, not really." Azazel responded.

"Not that I can think of." he said.

Aedan just shrugged.

The person then turned to leave, but just as they got to the door, Azazel spoke up.

"Oh!" he exclaimed.

"Kiah!" he said.

"Aedan, remember when we were last at the lab, and her questions and note-taking were... well... sparse and generic?" he asked, before looking back at the person.

"Dr. Kiah Remmington, here at the Unit. She does tests on us because we're durable as all hell, and we're essentially volunteer guinea pigs." he explained. "But... like, a couple of days ago, she asked us very general and generic questions, and wrote down hardly anything, when she's normally extremely detail-oriented and fastidious." he told them.

'Oh shit, that's right." Aedan said.

"That .... was extremely odd. Az and I chalked it up to her just not feeling the best." She commented.

"She isn't normally like that?" They asked.

"Not at all. One thing that I learned quick regading Kiah, is that she wants all the details. So that was extremely NOT her usual thing." Aedan responded.

"Huh. all right then. That's definitely good to know." they commented.

"Where can I find her?"

"Knowing Kiah, the lab." Azazel replied.

He then made his way to the floor plan that was on the wall.

"We're right here." he said, gesturing to where they were on it.

"And the lab is just up these stairs." he told them further, pointing to a set of stairs.

"So, if you're simply combing the floor, you'll reach the stairs anyway at the end of your scan." he then shrugged.

They were silent for a few seconds before nodding.

"Of course." they said.

"Thank you." After a moment, and just after turning to leave, they paused.

"You will be locked in here for the time being. Once I have finished checking this section of the floor, you will be allowed to travel within it. Once I am done the floor, it will expand to that, etc." Was the last thing they said before leaving the pair alone.

". . . Wonder what they were looking for."

Azazel watched the person go, before looking at Aedan.

"Nooooo idea." he said.

"And I get the feeling we won't ever find out." he told her.

"Well... not 'officially', anyway." he clarified, before sighing.

"...I just hope they find what they're looking for." he said. "If they've been called in to do this, it means whatever's here is dangerous."

Aedan just sighed lightly.

"Well... here's hoping." She said.

"That's really all that we can do. Sit here and hope."

"Which sucks." Azazel muttered.

-About a day later-

More of the Unit had been opened up, and more people were allowed to move around some more, and interact with each other.

At the moment, Peyton was speaking with Jake.

"Seems Anya's going to live." Jake told her.

"Just barely, but they managed to get her to bounce back." he said further.

"...that was one hell of a scare, though..." he then mumbled, shaking his head slightly.

Peyton just sighed lightly before giving Jake the hug she was sure that he needed.

"That's horrible that it happened." She commented.

"But at least, at the very least, we're safe for the moment."

Jake returned the hug, and nodded.

"Yeah, that's true." he said.

However, that was when Peyton had a strange thought enter her head. One she'd never had before.

The world is dangerous.

"Thanks for listening to me." Jake then said.

Some reptiles EAT mammals... like foxes. another thought told her mind.

"You want to go to the cafeteria for a drink?" Jake then asked.

That statue was there... it would have killed you. Is something else going to be there to try and kill you? Or someONE else? echoed in her mind.

Peyton was silent for a moment before shaking her head.

"I'm not feeling the best." she admitted.

"And no, I don't mean sick. I just mean something feels off and I have no idea how to explain it beyond that." She continued before sighing.

"So I'm going to go head to the dorm that Mira has here." She said. "I think I just need to lie down. I haven't been sleeping lately."

"Sorry Jake."

"Oh." Jake responded.

"All right then, sure." he said.

"Just be careful, don't need anything happening to YOU, after almost losing Anya." he told her with a smile.

Life is fragile. the 'voice' told her.

You don't want to hurt Jake by risking something happening to you, do you!? it frantically 'asked' her.

You need to be safe! You need to get away from all danger! NOW! it then practically yelled.

Peyton didn't say anything, just nodded before heading off. She managed to get around the corner before bolting at near top speed through the halls. She managed to dodge any and everyone else, but that was largely due to what she was. She was very agile and nimble, so it was nothing to dodge the people in the halls.

When she reached the dorm in question she found it empty, before just getting inside, locking the door - enough that even Mira wouldn't be able to get in later - and just hid in a corner. She coudln't explain why she was feeling like this, but she knew she didn't like it, at all.

One of the people she passed was Tyson, who didn't even get a word out before she was gone.

"...huh." he muttered.

"That was... weird..." he said.

Meanwhile, in the dorm, the thoughts in Peyton's head just wouldn't go away. They filled her with frightening thoughts. Horrible thoughts. Thoughts about how the world was dangerous, how she was so frail, and how she needed to protect herself, no matter what.

Later that day, after hearing that Peyton hadn't come out of the dorm ever since he'd last seen her, Tyson made his way to the door and knocked on it.

"Peyton?" he called in.

"You in there still?" he asked.

There was silence on the other side of the door. If she was in there, she wasn't answering, and that could be for a variety of reasons. Could be she didn't hear it, perhaps she was in the bathroom or asleep. Coudl be she was ignoring the door, but that was very unlike her. Could also be that something had happened and she wasn't in good shape, at all.

From where Tyson was, there was absolutely no way to tell what the cause was for the silence, and tha twas the worrisome bit.
