Ora stared at the corner Faire had just turned around. She was APPALLED. FAIRE? Standing up to HER? She had never done that before. I mean, she supposed that was only fair, she was basically the janitor around here, and blood is fairly hard to clean. But JEEZ! ouch!

She stood up and looked around, wondering what she should do now that she couldn't kill anyone or she would end up like Ella. A ghost.

She decided upon wandering the halls, waiting for someone to insult her so she could kill them but as she rounded a corner, she heard a soft hiss, and then she was tackled to the ground by a spindly black creature, with long floppy ears. Ora writhed under her grip. Who was this? Was it from the Weirdling group? But she was the LEADER of the Weirdling group!

"GET OFF ME!" Ora bellowed. The thing looked her in the eyes and snarled, spraying Ora's face with Weirdling saliva. She sputtered and shoved the thing off of her. It rolled and landed on all 8 legs, crouching in a defensive pose. Ora gave it a confused look. "Who are you? And WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I gave you an order!!!" It peered up at her as if she was speaking a different language. Was it NOT part of the Weirdling group? Then what the HECK was it doing unchained?? Was Ella trying to kill people??(Well, no, it was actually mostly Ora who did that. BUT WHATEVER!!) she then just realized there was a gigantic creature that nearly killed her crouching in the middle of the hallway. What was she going to do about it? NOTHING! Ora turned and walked away. This was NOT her problem! She could let Faire clean it up and she'd be fine.

She was halfway down the hallway before she heard skittery tap-tapping behind her. She whirled around and saw the creature scampering along behind her. LIKE A DOG!

"No, no thank you, goodbye, i don't want a pet THANK YOU" Ora shooed the Creature away. It blinked and plopped down on her foot. "I TOLD you I DON'T WANT A PET, THANKS." it gave her a strange look, then its milky eyes cleared and it unfolded itself into a tall arachnid-type creature and gave her a strange look.

"EW! Who are you?" Ora was taken aback.

"Uh, YOU just sat on ME! What do you mean EW?" The spider-like thing looked strangely like Ora did herself. She was a dark purple plum color, and had a large X across her face, which ora quickly realized were her eyes. Ora quizzically glanced at her and asked "who... who even ARE you?" the creature reached out her hand in greeting. "8. I know, it's ironic." Ora ignored her outstretched hand and asked "what are you doing here anyway?" 8 rolled her eyes to the best of her ability. "Ever heard of someone named Daisy?"

Ora thought hard, and someone came to mind. "You mean the fox-lady thingamajig? Yeah. Are you looking for her? Cuz, you're like, on the OPPOSITE side of the clinic from her ward." 8 looked away in embarrassment. "O-oh.. really?"

Ora was about to say something like "YEAH.", when a strange warping sound came from the opposite wall, and then a strange creature came stumbling out of nothing, looked up at them, and said, "where the hell am i?"
