Sean slithered down the corridor as fast as he could, knife in hand, blood dripping down his arms. He had killed her. He simply couldn't believe it; he'd actually killed her!



"I have a new target for you, one I'm sure you must be quite familiar with," Mr. Aiken said as the naga's body was forced into a bow.

"I'll never--" Sean began before he was interrupted.

"Was I talking to you? Silence him!" At Mr. Aiken's command, Sean's lower arms clamped the palms of their hands over his mouth. "Better. Now, your next target should have no trouble trusting you. I want you to kill William Daniel Innicioni."



Alarms blared and the half-human prisoners pounded on the glass confining them. "Come on!" Alex yelled, galloping as fast as he could down the hall but having to stop every few minutes for the rest of them to catch up. "We have to get out of here!"

"We're coming!" Tasha screamed back, stumbling over her many legs. "You try running with the body of a giant spider!"

"At least you don't have to worry about a poisonous tail that could kill anyone you even accidentally sting!" Robert replied, scuttling along as fast as he could push his scorpion legs.

"Quit arguing and run!" Sean commanded, slithering ahead of them and almost catching up to Alex's tail.



"This is the final experiment, and then you can have your own wonderful cell here," Mr. Aiken whispered almost seductively into his ear. Or, he thought it was his ear. "You have proven to be so promising, and this --- ah --- change in your form will prove quite useful to my soldiers."

Yes, Sean thought, come closer so that I can sink my fangs into your neck you bastard!



"You cannot escape it, Sean," the old man said kindly. "This is your new life. But I will do all that I can to help you learn control over yourself, no matter what form you're forced into." He put an arm around Sean's soldiers and led him down the hall.

"Thanks, Dr. Lowson," Sean replied with a broad grin.
