A small Skrixxy sat alone in a large cage, two people sat near by, "Hey, why is one alone?" the male asked, the female looked at him like he was stupid but quickly changed her expression, "Why, he is what you call a Environ
mental, he doesn't get along with the others." She said, her voice held fake sweetness. He looked at the 'Beast' and thought for a second, as he was here to make sure the Skrixxys were well treated.
"I find it cruel to make such a creature live alone..." He said, you could see that the other was about to kill him, and though clenched teeth said, "Well, like I said, he doesn't get along with others, meaning he will
kill them if they are put in the same area." She was still trying to sound sugary sweet but her voice show though with annoyance, why did she have to take this guy on the tour again? The man had a stubborn look on his face, "I think it's
cruel. Maybe he only does it because he doesn't know how to react to others, I'm guessing because he isn't allowed
to reacted to others." He said this all matter of fact, like he did know what he was talking about, the woman's eyes turned to slits, "Would you like to see more?" It wasn't a question that escaped her month, it was a warning. She wasn't about to be told how to take care of creatures she happened to love. The man look around, I believe I have seen enough, though I advised you do get him a panther or this might not end well." He said as she nearly pushed him to door, "It won't end well if he has his way." she muttered once he left.
Beast indeed sat in a corner of a cage, he was clenching a pendent, never letting anyone touch it, that is if they ever got close enough to touch him. "No one.. no one." Where the thoughts that were in the insane ones head, trying to hide but cuddle the pendent at the same time, his ears where deaf to all he didn't want to hear, meaning he didn't acknowledge the talk that just took place. He didn't care if he was alone, no, besides to him he wasn't alone, he had "Penny" the 'name' he had given the pendent. Him and Penny didn't need anyone else, they happy alone. Beast got up and walked over to the water dish, he held onto Penny and gently put it down before taking a drink, once done he quickly reached over and grabbed it again, "Mine.." He hissed, though if any humans heard it would be just a noise, no human can hear what an animal has to say.
The woman, who's name is Wanda, cleaned out a cage, though what that man said was nonsense the cage was still too small for the beast to live in it forever, she know he would be put up for adoption but she had saw first hand on what he could do... Lucky for the other Skrixxy, they found away to get him out in time, who the heck put the poor little thing in there? The thing went insane, poor little dear. Eying the monster from that stood behind her, she felt chills go up her spine, she did loved him, but at the same time she didn't want him to fall into the hands of someone stupid, like the person who had just left.
---------------------------------------------------------------
A man, different from the first one, walked into the lab. It has been a month since the whole thing with the other man and now the Beast was ready adopt. True to his word the other man tried to have them shut down for 'cruelty' but the main Scientist had explained the whole thing to the judge and now the matter was dismissed... for now. The man walked to Wanda, "Hey, I'm Dean. I'm here about a Skrixxy, I believe he is Environ
mental." He said smoothly, Wanda looked at him, "OK, I will need to see your ID." She said, but before she could finish her sentence he had already pulled it out and was handing it to her. Taking it, she looked it over, Dean was a handsome man, around his middle twenties. His hair was pitch black, though there was something in his teal eyes that was almost inhuman. "Okay, checks out." Wanda said, handing the ID back, Dean smiled and walked over to Beast, he bent down to watch the beauty. It took a few minutes but he noticed Wanda was still here, "If you don't mind, I would like to get to know Beast.." He said this well still smiling. Wanda, who for some odd reason felt embarrassed over doing her job, blushed, "Alright." She said, it wouldn't do any harm, right?
Beast looked up at this guy, sitting on Penny he growled. Once the guy just calmly sat there he got a little calmer, "Go...stay.." the thing thought, but quickly lost interest and, while holding Penny, walked to left and started licking Penny. The man was annoying but he didn't try to make him leave anymore, "It... different." Beast said, looking towards the man, yes, something wasn't right with him, he was... inhuman.
Dean watched the Skrixxys movements and his eyes followed everything he did. "
Yes, this what I need..." Dean's thought where filled with ideas, he already had a pen that would fit Beast's needs nicely and he would be very fun to watch. Though that wasn't all he was thinking. He got up and walked over to the bell on the desk, he could have just let the woman stay, it wasn't like he did anything she couldn't see but he felt more comfortable in a room alone. Dinging the small bell, Wanda came back out, "I would like him." He said simply, digging into his wallet, "Really? That's great... Hold on a second." She said and got out the adoption papers, it felt weird to see this Skrixxy leave for her, his mother had been pregnant with him when she was first employed. "OK, please sign here." He did and, handing her the price in cash, got ready to put Beast in the cage he brought to take him home.
"NO." Beast screamed at the humans, they loaded him in a cage, he tried to bite them, but the gloves they wore wouldn't let him get to they skin. In the panic Beast nearly forgot about Penny, which was right beside him. Grabbing it, he held it close to him, "NO." He screamed again. It was then that the guy came up, he looked at Beast, who again was on 'I'mma going to bite you' mood, when a voice, not his own, entered his mind, "Hush, little one, it will all be over soon." Beast stopped and looked around, "Speak.. Mind." He thought, trying to figure out what had just happened, though the voice didn't came again.
Dean smiled as he silenced the monster, quickly putting the cage back in his truck, he went into the drivers seat, making the engine roar as he droved into the blazing sun, towards a large house on a larger field, yes everything was going his way.
