I Spi(e)d (h)er [complete]

The scientist

The group continued to go through different doors Urchula and Delphina were fed up with it and ended up going to the end of the corridor and sitting next to the large double doors,
The next rooms held nothing of importance, there was the office of the accountant Lira a plain boring looking lady who was boredly staring out of a picture of her holding a prize.

The receipts on her desk showed they had recently bought a large amount of animals, several types of cats dogs and spiders, there was a refund for killer bees, wasps and
hornets, they had bought three different types of sea urchin, it was written that killer whales were to big and expensive, also written was that 'platypuses were to hard to get so a female dolphin would have to do', and several crates of live butterfly's were also
purchased.

"According to the the news the reapers were experimenting on splitting souls from many different types of animals this shows that they are probably correct," Felin explained to ara and bella.

Bella shook her head her brown hair swaying back and forth. "No nnnot megan, she
cccan't be a part of this, not my friend mmmegan.

She turned sharply to leave Ara moved to stop her and instead knocked over another
container of receipts. It was megan being reimbursed for buying an inclosure for a monarch butterfly.

Ara picked up another receipt for her dad being reimbursed for 2 lots of archery lessons and a tank for a spider. Their were other receipts mixed marshal arts, dog collars and vet bills, cat collar and more vet bills, two tickets for An aquarium.

Ara never really understood math so she put away the receipts and left the room.

Their were several more rooms down the hallway Ara called down the corridor to urchula and Delphina "do you guys want to go into the rest of the rooms because I want to look into them."

"Do you have to its not like theirs going yo be anything important in those rooms but if you must then I geuss there is nothing we can do, though there is absolutely no point to doing it." Delphina called back to Ara absolutely bored.

Urchula nodded as usual she always completely agreed with everything Delphina was
saying.

Ara walked to the next door it said "Sinthi and Sithi. She opened the door and walked
inside bella Felin and Howlard following in behind her. In the middle of the room was a fountain, it was a y shape that water slowly trickled down the body of the y starting from the top two forks at the top, the water only caused a slight ripple as it reached the pool of water at the bottom of the fountain.

At the plaque at the bottom of the fountain "the converging rivers" was Ingraved in large bold letters. Past the fountain was a large desk that spanned the whole back wall there two chairs and four monitors two facing towards each chair.

On the back of the left chair was written sinthi's chair and written of the back of the right chair was written sithis chair. In the middle of the desk in the middle of the of where the chairs were located was a picture frame.

It was of two identical looking women. They wore exactly the same blue lipstick and
eyeshadow. There blue saris were an identical style and colour and their arms were wrapped around each other's shoulders their black strait hair flowed identically down their backs. There was no discernible difference Ara could see between the two of the women.

Ara rummaged through the papers on the desk. Types of water borne parasites and their effects of human, types of pathogens found it water. It was just a lot of things about water, illness and their effects on the human body.

"I knew those girls they were sssort of nice to me, I mmmean they did aways add strange chemicals into people drinks when they mmmmade them but iiii never take food or drink from people I don't trust and I don't trust very easily, sso I was never had aaany problems with them myself." Bella quietly muttered from where she stood near the door.

"Thanks bella that was TOO INTERESTING," drawled Delphina from the door.
"You should just continue to not talk flutters" Urchila snarked from her position beside
Delphina her black eyes cold as she studied bella's quiet form.

Bella awkwardly fluttered her monarch butterfly wings behind her back and looked at the ground refusing to meet Delphina and urchulas harsh judging gazes.

"There's no need to be so Prickly Urchula" Howlard yipped hiding his irritation under his puns and jokes. Urchula glared at him as Delphin huffed delicately before flipping her hair, turned on her heel before she glided out of the door.

"Umm. Sh...should w..w..w.we go. Or we could just keep going sslowly through just to aanoy her iii don't mind which really. Um" bella stutter was even worse now the small self worth she had was gone and she stared at the floor not meeting anyone eyes.

"That's a good idea Bells lets do that. I like your second option." Ara enthused trying to give Bella some self confidence. Howlard smiled at Ara his soft warm brown eyes filled with the appreciation he felt for Ara some what weak attempt to help bella. He knew that Ara was trying and that was all that mattered to Howlard.

Felin nodded showing her agreement with Howlard. Ara knew Felin never smiled so she knew that this was Felin showing her full support was behind Ara and she felt for the first time in her life that she was able to do something right. She felt like she was able, to not be the failure she was always told she was.

Ara left the room bella walking beside her Felin and Howlard walked behind them. Felin and Howlard were talking quietly to each other. They didn't trust Urchula and Delphina and the two late teenaged girls needed someone to look after them.

Or that was at least how Felin and Howlard felt. Bella had no self confidence and was
almost able to talk to them without immediately going back on what she had just said.

There was also ara. The spider hybrid was extremely scatterbrained. She would start
talking about one subject before she would jump to another topic without realising it.

Then after she talked about that subject for a bit she would then as absentmindedly as she had first moved to that topic she would move back to that first topic,

Felin found that confusing but Howlard who always had high energy found it was quite easy keeping up with her. Her mind was a little bit all over the place but Felin and Howlard found it extremely endearing, cute and sweet.

The small group except Delphina and Urchula moved to the next to room. The room had a strange decor choice, everything looked carefully chosen, it looked like a psychiatrist office opulent but done in such a way it would put you at ease. It reminded ara of the sets she saw in drama, carefully chosen to look real but had an air of fakeness around it, if you payed attention.

There were no pictures on the desk, the computer had a thumb print scan to get into it.
Felin saw there was no way to get into the computer so she went to leave as she saw there was nothing she could do.

Ara however cast her sharp red eyes over the computer and noticed that the thumb print scanner was connected to the computer through the thumb drive outlet. Ara simply
disconnected it and the computer screen flashed for a moment before the words "welcome Ara" appeared on the screen momentarily before they vanished and the computer
unlocked.

Ara gasped in shock and she jumped back from the computer. Felin whirled around claws out as she heard her startled gasp.

Ara looked through the computer Ara saw that there was a map of the building. However the map seemed a little bit off to her. She looked through it but she didn't know what she was looking for. Bella looked over Ara's shoulder.

"Uum aaara the rooms a the the wrong size."
"What do you mean Bella."

"If yyou believe this mmap, then your parents office is the same size as everyone else. It shows nnno differences. It's like your mums part of the rrroom doesn't exist. Aaalso
Carlottas room is smaller than it actual is."

"Oh yeah, Bella was learning to be an architect"
"Iii couldn't do it i wwwwould have to talk to ccclients and I'm not very good at speaking in front of ppppeople. Though you probably already realised that. Sorry"

"It's fine bells there is nothing for you to apologise for. It's all good."

"I say don't trust this guy's Map it seems dodgy and were disadvantaged enough without being sabotaged by this guy."
