Chapter Text
Tommy slowly blinks awake. His vision's blurry, and it's all he can do to stay awake.
Something's... leaning over him..? He can't quite tell...
There's a faint buzzing noise. Familiar- but wrong.
Once again, Tommy passes out.
??? POV...
They've locked me up with a human.
A human! How did the Drækaı even get one of those?
I anxiously lean over, trying to see it properly. Its eyes blink open, and I scramble back, wings buzzing frantically. Oh- oh no.. these things are ruthless!
"It's gonna kill me- they locked me in here with a human-"
There's a scraping sound, and the door slides open. I scramble back, spotting the Drækaı at the door. The Drækaı steps forwards, and the bright lights catch on a small needle the Drækaı is holding. The Drækaı's gaze flicks from me, to the human, before it advances, crouching down at the human's side, before jabbing it with the clear liquid in the needle. "Oh- oh no-" I mumble, then the Drækaı leaves. I catch a whiff of- a pretty horrible smell, then panic.
That's adrenaline. The Drækaı injected the human with adrenaline.
The human almost immediately sits up.
ORIGINAL POV...
"Ow- fuck-!" Tommy hisses, bolting upright. "What the hell was that-" His hand flies up to his neck, feeling a small lump. "What- they injected me with something- those-"
The human's feral! It- hasn't noticed me yet though... I guess that's a bonus-
Tommy looks up, and freezes. They put something in here with him? It's- tiny, actually. Small, fuzzy brown ears that remind him of a goat's, with horns that curl around it's ears. It's got round wings and eyes like a bee's, and hooves. "Uh- hey little guy-" Tommy mumbles, reaching out a hand. He pauses when it flinches back. "Oh- shit- am I scaring you-"
Oh- oh god- it saw me- I'm so dead-!
The human reaches out a hand, grumbling something in it's own language, and I flinch back. Not risking dying here. It- stops.
Its head tilts, and it chatters something I can't understand.
"...can you understand me?" Tommy asks, and sighs when he receives no reply. "...well that answers that then." Tommy tries to step forwards, but frowns when it scrambles back again.
"You're scared of me? I'm not that terrifying, am I?" Tommy laughs quietly, shaking his head.
Welp. New roomie.
