: She walked over and rested her head against Brandon's chest. "I'm sorry, honey, but I ran into someone and well, she needed help. I figured that maybe the doctor knew where the town Magix was so I brought her here." She purred softly as he ran his hand through her hair. "I love you," she purred, stealing a small kiss.

"Angel, my love, how do you plan on explaining how you found her without getting into trouble?" Brandon understood her need to help someone but he also knew what the Doctor was capable of.

: Angelique bit her lower lip as she thought. "I'll think of something, honest," she admitted. She hadn't messed up yet and so she was still pretty lucky. Hopefully, the doctor wouldn't ask questions or decide to make the other girl one of them. "Ah, my manners. That's Stella," she said, gesturing the girl.

Standing in the doorway, watching Angelique and her boyfriend interact, Stella again felt that feeling that something was wrong. That something about the way the two of them looked wasn't normal or natural like the way Katy's appearance was. But this time, she didn't have the urge to run - something was telling her that she needed to stay right where she was. That if she stayed there, she would get some answers. And more than that, something was oddly familiar about Angelique's boyfriend. The way he treated Angelique seemed to perfectly mirror the way her Brandon treated her . . . but perhaps that was just her mind playing tricks on her. Because there was no way that that human, dog creature could be Brandon. Because her cupcake would remember her and would have flown into her arms by now . . .
And yet . . . there was just something about him. Something that she couldn't shake off.
Abruptly cutting off her train of thought when Angelique spoke her name, Stella stepped into the room and said in what she hoped was a friendly tone, doing her best not to stare, "Hello."

"I would say nice to meet you Stella, but getting lost is never the best of circumstances." Specially here but he wasn't going to say that. Now that he got a good smell of this girl something about her was definitely familiar but he just couldn't place it yet. "The less time you spend here the better, let's go find the doctor."

: Angelique clung closer to Brandon, hoping that he didn't forget she was there since that new girl was there. She tugged his hand and waited for him to bend down before she spoke. "You don't think the doctor will...?"

Not liking the couple's grim expressions and their vague exchanges about this doctor, Stella's eyes darted back and forth between the two of them before she blurted out, unable to bear not knowing for a moment longer, "For goodness sake, this is torture! Would one of you please fill me in on what I've gotten myself into?"

Brandon just stood back and let Angelique decide how much to tell Stella, after all Angelique knew more about the Doctor then he did.

: "I take it you never heard of Doctor Moreau?" she asked quietly. She didn't want to say more until she knew whether or not Stella knew what she was talking about.

"No, not that I can recall at the moment," Stella replied, feeling her nerves beginning to get rattled by all the hush-hush secrecy that seemed to surround Lost Souls.

: "He's... ah... a bit of a mad scientist," Angelique said, not wanting to go into too much detail. She just kept hoping that the doctor wouldn't find out about Stella...

"Mad scientist?" Stella echoed in mild disbelief before realization slowly dawned on her. Her eyes widening, she shook her head as she said, more as a statement than an actual question, "He did this to you guys? I mean . . you guys don't look like that . . . naturally?"

: Angelique nodded. "He does it over a period of time. He's about 75 percent-ish done, and I'm at 25 percent," she said quietly. "He's trying to make a perfect being. He's a chocolate lab, human and I'm a house cat, human." She purred softly.

Momentarily speechless, Stella finally managed to say, "Why are you still here? Why didn't you run away? I mean, you could have if you manged to get to the forest where you found me without being detected . . ." Trailing off as she tried to wrap her head around the bomb that had been dropped on her, to try to stay calm, Stella asked tentatively, "So . . . how did you two get here? And more importantly, how are we going to get out? I mean, we can get out, can't we?"

"I haven't reached what he considers perfect so we may have a chance to get him to help you without him trying to change you as well." Brandon spoke up, if they could save her from their fate, Brandon would be happy. "Where would we go looking like this? Not only that but if any of us run, then the Doctor will kill the others."
