Amara's eyes widened. "My parents were always researchers for this place." she said regretfully. "from the moment i was born they were like "she'll make a great experiment!"" her voice was scornful and her wings shot out "all they did was make my life terrible"

Lily nodded, knowing exactly how she felt. She didn't trust herself to speak right now. It wasn't a good thing when she got mad.
Amara clenched her fists and breathed slowly out. Right now wasn't probably the best time to explode with anger, so she unclenched her fist and lay her head on the table. "You ok?"
"I'm fine," Lily said through a very forced smile. "You?"
Amara noted her forced smile and attempted a nod "Yeah. You wanna explore somewhere else?" she asked, trying to get her mind off of her anger
Lily shrugged and looked at Kaci, who hadn't spoken at all through the whole thing. "Do you wanna?" She asked.
Aaron sat in the corner of the library and read furiously. One of the doctors had ticked her off and she just wanted to be alone.
Calista flittered happily around the higher shelves looking for something good to read. She was still kind of dazed from Kyle but she'd managed to shake it off for the most part. She finally just grabbed a random book and zipped into the sitting area. She wooshed to a halt when she noticed a very angry looking person. "Why so mad?" She asked. "Being mad is no fun."
Aaron sighed. "Don't ask." She grumbled, annoyed. She wasn't usually this rude, but she was impatient when mad.
"I already asked silly!" Cali plopped down in the chair across from her. "Did someone kick your puppy?"
Aaron rolled her eyes and let her wrists slacken so the book would stop covering her face. "I don't have a pet and no, no one kicked anything. And yes, I realize you already asked." She pulled the book back in front of her face.
"Hmmmmmm. Did one of the dumb annoying doctors do something?" Cali guessed.
Aaron rolled her eyes. "Why are you being so nosy, anyways?"
"Cause you look mad and it's my job to help people be happy. It's not really my job. I gave it to myself. If it was a job given by Cadmus I would make sure I did the opposite." Cali nodded matter of factly.
Aaron sighed. 'Well good luck making people happy in this hell hole." She stated.
"Thank you. I need it. Everyone is so depressed all the time! It's exhausting." Cali sighed. "Anywho, I'm Calista. But everyone who bothers to address me calls me Cali."
Aaron rolled her eyes. "Gee, I wonder why everyones so depressed!" She said sarcastically, getting up to put the book away. It was getting boring.
"I don't. This place is boring. What ever goal they're trying to reach with us all, there are plenty of better ways of going about it."
"all of which require money and consent, which they wouldn't get." She put the book back and looked for another one.
"I don't think money or consent would be an issue. They've got enough money and consent to genetically modify human beings so why can't they add some fun things to the facility."
Aaron rolled her eyes. "sure, whatever you say." She was tired of explaining.
"Sooooo did I guess right?" Cali asked.
"Why does it even matter? You cant fix anything." She said bluntly.
(Ah! Sorry!)"So I did guess right then." Cali nodded, proud with herself for guessing correctly. Lately she'd realised that almost everyone here was mad most of the time because of the doctors. "Whatd they do?"
((Ah! It's okay!))Aaron rolled her eyes. "None of your business." She really didn't want to talk, or even think about it.
"Fine fine fine fine fine. Can I guess though?" Cali asked.
Aaron rolled her eyes. "Go ahead."
"Yay!" Cali thought hard. "Did they... um... give you a shot that you didn't want or need?"
"Yes, of course they always do that, but that's not what I'm mad about."
Liam strolls into the library like he owns the place. He's been looking for anything that might lead to an escape. He's done this millions of times already, but it's something that keeps him distracted till he can get a rebellion.
Aaron was avoiding the annoyingly happy girl, and eventually did lose her by hiding in a corner. She was crouched down with another book, hiding her face with her hoody. She had calmed down now, and was a bit happier due to the fact that she was reading a book of poems.
Liam pauses near the door, shutting his eyes. He sensed only a few people, all at different ends of the library. He had another plan of escape this time. All three times he tried to escape alone, but this time, he would get "friends" and make a rebellion. He would escape this time. He starts to walk towards the weakest presence in the room towards the far corner. On his way, he grabs two random books off the shelf he was walking past, and shoves them under his arm.
Aaron continued reading, completely oblivious to their surroundings. She was totally engulfed into the book.
He sees the girl, and looks into her mind slightly, just enough to see what she was doing, but not enough to sense his presence if she knew how. Poems? He thinks, and sits across from her, taking out the books that he grabbed.
Aaron glances up at the boy that had sat across from her, and his entire life flooded into her head. She quickly analyzed the information, and immediately threw up a blockade in her mind. He would be able to see what she was reading, or approved thoughts, but he wouldn't be able to go any deeper than conscious thoughts. She continued reading, ignoring him and continued to consciously annotate the book. He would be able to see what she thought of the book, and all the symbolism she noted thinking that all that information should give him a headache.
He flinched a bit, feeling a presence in his mind. He looks into her mind and feels something block him. He looks at her deeply, a smug smile filtering to his face. "Well, I already expect that you know MY name Aaron. So enough of toying in each others brains"
"Then why don't you talk to me instead of being an invasive little prick." She muttered, continuing to read.
"I was only merely seeing what your emotion was. But you have no right to talk little miss see my life" He retorted a little annoyed, but he didn't let it show. He made sure to keep his face stone cold, and his mind protected. She wasn't getting any more out of him.
Aaron already knew, and she smiled a bit. "Suuure, mister Ill-Just-Be-Subtle-And-Test-Out-Her-Awareness" She shook her head slightly. "Plus you aren't even interested in the book's you picked up, you came to me, not the other way around."
He holds up his to books and snickers. "Come on. Cat In the Hat and..Good Night Moon are my faavoriteees " He says smiling. "I thought you looked like a Dr. Seuss kind of girl, so I was kind enough to bring you one" He slides Cat in the Hat to her.
"You didn't even see me nor had access to my mind when you picked those books up. And I may have liked them when I was half a year old." She gently pushes it back with the toe of her shoe. "I'm good."
"When I sensed your presence, you seemed like a fun loving type of girl, and no one is too old for Dr. Seuss" He says sarcastically, pushing the book back with his shoe.
Aaron rolled her eyes. "Your sister would have lost interest in Dr. Seuss by the age of 8." She muttered, pushing it back. She was really getting into a poem that was actually interesting.
His smile faded and his face turned ice cold. Her past tense 'would have' made him think of his sister's lifeless body on the ground. He remained silent for a while before getting up. "Sorry for wasting your time then" He says, his jaw ticking in anger. He turns his back on her and walks away before he could hit her.
"The book idea was a waste of time, however no government facility is perfect." She stated, closing the book. "Sorry for being so blunt but if you're really here to recruit anyone you need to get serious." She stood up as well, being almost a foot shorter.
((Hey bro wanna bring his sister back? :D I think that would be a good motivator))
((Oh my god, he would be so heart broken! How would we even do that?))
He turns to face her. "If you were really sorry for being blunt, you would've shut your big mouth in the first place" He starts, focusing again and making sure his anger in under control. With his mind blocked and his voice and face neutral, he finishes steadily. "And after seeing the kind of girl you are, I'm not sure if you'd really be any help to what I'm planning. So, when I break out, you can either find your own way out, or rot in here forever for all I care, because if you want to really help me. Prove it." He finishes his voice low and calm.

((I got you m8))Aaron let him vent, staying calm as he yelled at her. When he was finished, she started talking. "The only reason I was so blunt was because your sister is most likely alive. She was only 5, and still growing. If I was a Cadmus scientist and I only had to choose between you and your sister I would have chosen her in a heartbeat. You alter her DNA then see how she progresses as she grows up. She's probably in this compound as we speak. I wouldn't have said something like that if I couldn't say something like this." She stated. "I love little kids, and when I saw the difference between your 'sister's' body and your actual sister, I knew it was a decoy." She put air quotes around sister's for correction.
