"I've found something!" One yelled. There was no source of light except their flashlights. They followed the pool of blood, sometimes having no choice but to step in it.

They found the bodies of the men who experimented on the girl for so long... Claw marks were found on their faces, and chests. Some were on their abdomens or sides. Some on their arms.

Some of the bodies had at least two of the sets of four markings in each place.

"What happened here..?" One of the Amestrian soldiers quizzed. They split up into groups of three, checking the entire building. Finally, they came across the room she was in, searching the room, first by shining the flashlight into the room.

Coming across her figure, they cautiously walked over. She looked up quickly, having been listening very carefully. She looked alert, and somewhat afraid. "Don't worry, we won't hurt you... What's your name?" One asked. She began making hand motions.

Sign language. Before the men that had experimented on her knew she could speak, they taught her sign language so she could tell them what they needed to know.

However, the soldiers that stood before her had no idea what she was telling them. They knew it was sign language, just not what any of the motions meant. She seemed to be trying to tell them something, what it was, they didn't know.

"I'm sorry, we don't know what you're trying to say... Come with us, okay? We'll take you somewhere safe," the man assured.

She looked him up and down, deciding whether or not to trust him. "It's okay..." She stood, and they noticed that the men had even put a collar around her neck, like she was some kind of animal, like some pet.

They got it off of her, and then, the taller of the three men in the room, noticed her nails, how they were abnormally long and covered in blood. He whispered something to the shortest out of the three, and both turned to the one clearly leading.

Once they had brought this strange girl back to Central, they found out her name was Sarah. Sarah had been taken off the streets by the men, and experimented on, until she was successfully turned into a chimera...

"They experimented on me," she signed. "Everyday...

"They didn't stop, even after I asked..."

She didn't tell them much else... She didn't tell them she was a chimera, though she was sure they could figure it out on their own...
