"Shoot", I muttered
I had forgotten my belongings and there was no way I was returning to that strange place.
Well now it looked like I had to, otherwise I'd be stuck on Earth my entire life.
Which to say would be endlessly boring
Why stay on Earth when I can be exploring the big and wide universe?
Well I needed a foolproof plan, and quick.
"Well," I said talking to myself, "I first definitely need to get off of this roof and quick."
"Then I need to morph into a random hospital staff member and take my stuff for examination and cleaning or whatever they need to hear."
"Ok," I said, taking a breath," that's quite foolproof."
I morphed into a bird and flew down into the parking lot.
I then waddled over to that space behind the dumpster then morphed into a patient.
Taking my sweet time, I walked into the hospital.
I then ducked into the bathroom, out of sight, then I morphed into "Dr. Grady".
I ran into the locker room then grabbed someone's ID and hoped they wouldn't noticed as I then morphed into that person from the picture.
I glanced at the name, Dr. Cass.
"Sweet name." I thought then I rushed over to the front desk then asked the secretary," Do you know where Ms. Jessamine's things are located?"
"Yes, Dr. Cass, they're in room 847."
"Thank you." I said sweetly.
I then 'power walked' to the specified room and looked inside.
Inside, were multiple patients' things.
I shuffled through all of the things and soon found my own and then picked things I liked from other inventories.
I heard the door creak open and I instantly dove behind a box and morphed into a fly.
"Hello?,"
Oh, dang it. It was Dr. Whatever-his-name-was well, the one who 'saved me'
"I know you're in here, whoever you are.."
I buzzed and went to the highest shelf I could.
I watched as the doctor swept his eyes around the room, examining every crevice carefully.
He looked around one last time, then left.
I internally let out a sigh of relief, still wondering if this all were people trying to be generally nice to me.
Nah.
I morphed back into Dr. Cass then grabbed my things then left the room.
Outside, it was clear , thankfully.
I casually walked towards the exit and when I left, I sprinted towards the woods.
I put my backpack on and shifted into a wolf when I was out of sight.
I then shifted back when I figured I was far enough.
I climbed up a tree and took some spare rope and tied myself to the tree as I got ready to sleep.
Before I fell asleep, I had one last thought.
"Dimwitted humans, can't even keep a Chameleon strapped down."
Then darkness overtook my sight.

  I woke up, my back as sore as when I had popped it out when I had tried to roundhouse kick a vampire's head off.
I had learned never to try that again. <it was VERY unsuccessful, almost leading me to having all my blood drained>
I removed the rope from my waist and I climbed down the tree.
I opened my backpack and took inventory of what was inside.
A sleeping bag, great for the outdoors hooray.......not.(I wasn't looking forward to sleeping in open ground)
Toothbrushes, soap,  and paste, gotta leave a mark, but make it smell nice at least,
Tampons, hooray only 5 left(note the sarcasm) gotta get some more.
Whatever food I could scavenge, which happened to be at the moment, a box of apple juice and beef jerky.(gotta get that protein)
An extra pair of clothes.
And my journal, a few pictures, and a paperback.
That was all. It seemed not enough. I should've brought more.
But it was too late now. No way was I going to go back to that desolate place,dry and barren, but full of memories.
I then sprinted away, away from the camp.
I couldn't be thinking about home now.
I had to stay alive and find fuel for the TAESV
I didn't have time for panic attacks.
I soon ran out of endurance and I hid behind a rock in a pretty meadow.
My nose flared.
I smelled a supernatural coming my way.
I used my power to look and smell human.
I then saw it-his face. He had a rebel aura around him. Blonde hair, blue eyes, the gist of it.
"Are you ok?," it asked," What are you doing here?"
"I-I...I'm fine..." I said.
JESS GET YOUR WORDS TOGETHER!, I mentally told myself.
"You don't look fine." The rebel said.
"Well I am and...and could you please go now, I don't want to pollute this planet any longer,." I said.
He, obviously thinking I was trying to kill myself (idiots, first the dimwitted humans, now idiot supernatural), said " You're not polluting anything, I promise. Now look, you could come with me and meet my family and live with us."
"I'm really sorry, but I'd rather not." I had made up my mind.
"You will come with me and let us help you."
I immediately felt the need to do as he said.
" I will, but I cannot walk right now."
"That's fine."
He picked me up bridal style and said," You will sleep."
The last thing I saw was the forest moving swiftly past me.
Then the drowsiness got to me and I shut my eyes.
I dreamed and yelled at myself.
I thought to myself, HE USED COMPULSION ON YOU, IDIOT.

I woke up to a bright light on a comfortable bed.
You see, I don't like being taken care of or babied.
Well, the question was, WAS IT TOO LATE TO ESCAPE?
Surely if I moved, they would hear me.
I looked down at my body, I saw bandages and casts everywhere.
Hmmph, like I need them.
I saw an iv stuck in my arm and paled.
Did I also mention, I hated needles?
Well, time to get this over with.
I silently eased the needle out of my skin, internally screaming every second.
I then heard footsteps thumping up the stairs and I instantly pretended I was sleeping.
I was waiting for that moment when they were like, SIKE, we just wanted you full and healthy before we eat you.
Then-i stopped my train of thought, as I heard the door creak open.
"I know you're awake, Jessamine."
"HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW MY NAME?"
Hah, that's gonna be like the line of the year, me wondering how people know my name.
"Calm down, you were reported missing and maybe dead after you ran away from the hospital, basically you made national television."
Woah, I had made it to the telly.
I looked up, it wasn't Blondie this time, it looked like his father, since he had white blondish hair.
"Well now that's cleared up, what the hell do you want with me?!"
Ok, plan A, run away, plan B die and join my family.
Which one????
