Another day, another round of asking herself if it was even worth living. Her day started like it always did. Pain and crying at midnight as she reset, waking her from sleep. She couldn't remember the last time she'd slept fully through the night. She didn't dwell on it. She hugged her very well worn Stitch plush, pulled her threadbare blanket tighter around her, and tried to get more comfortable on the thin mattress she'd managed to keep the rats from completely eating, and tried to go back to sleep. At least the warehouse she was in had a roof on it still. She'd seen a lot of them that didn't, with people living in them. Sure, it was called the Abandoned Warehouse District, but that turned out to only be mostly true. She woke up pretty early, and decided today was a day to live. She'd go and explore a bit, see if she could find some good stuff at her regular haunts. Maybe see if Methhead Marty had moved on or died so she could dig around his spot and see what good shit he was sitting on. She spent most of the day, until the afternoon seeing if she could find any neat junk or good food. She found a mostly-intact ice cream behind the Diary Queen, and proceeded to eat that and enjoy it. A few odds and ends she planned to use and try to turn into a junk sculpture. Not much of interest. Mostly she just enjoyed the weather. She had a nagging feeling that someone was watching her, but she could never spot them, so she didn't pay it too much mind. What's the worst they could do, kill her? It was when she check on Methhead Marty that everything changed. She approached the half-broken warehouse he did his dealings in, trying to be sneaky, she didn't want to actually have to talk to him, when she heard a sound that made her freeze in place. Growling, snarling, barking. Dogs. A pack of feral dogs had either killed Marty or found his corpse and were chowing down. The sounds shifted and Jaina started to sob. They smelled her. They were coming for her. She stood there, frozen as they got closer, praying that whatever was watching her wanted to help. Nyx

Nyx had been keeping an eye on Jaina ever since the idiot waltzes into the woods. She was surprised to find out that Caren knew nothing about Jaina. Caren apparently wasted no attention on her. It seemed most people didn’t. The kid had someplace dry to hunker down and seemed to frequent dumpsters… Nyx kept her distance and kept an unfamiliar shape as well. Being out in the open was dangerous and exhausting. She ducked into corners where she could revert back to herself without being seen a few times. It was at one of those times that Nyx heard a growling sound. Dogs… She took a quick peek around the corner and saw Jaina frozen in place. Shit… The kid had frozen again. Nyx felt that burning sensation in her chest again. Damnit… If Lil had been around she’d surely spout some bullcrap about empathy or some shit. Nyx didn’t have time or energy for all of that. Nyx waited out of sight, hoping the girl would be smart and bug out, but she didn’t. Nyx waited right up until one of the dogs was about ready to pounce before she darted out of her hiding place and quickly grabbed it by it’s neck midair. She felt the bone snap and the dog’s body stopped moving. That was all she had time for before the other’s came rushing their way. Jaina Gaben

Jaina was just in shock. Forced to relive the most traumatic memory since she lost her parents. Dogs tearing into her. Ripping. Snarling. Everything going dark. Coming back trapped, inside, bursting out, in process, experiencing the rebuilding. She couldn't move. Couldn't think. She heard a snap. Her eyes focused. There was someone else. Someone there. ....some IDIOT trying to protect her! "HEY! GET OUT OF HERE! RUN! FUCKING RUN!" She had to do something. She had to stop this. She scrabbled and found some debris and started throwing them at the dogs. "GET OUT OF HERE RUN FUCKING RUN FUCKING IDIOT FUCK! AAAAAAAAAAH!" She had no idea what she was doing. She was just trying to scare anything. The dogs, this woman... was that the crazy bitch from the woods? Fuck. She just wanted this over. She wanted them both gone. This was just supposed to be a day to live, now she just wanted to die in peace. Nyx

Nyx’s reflex’s were insanely quick, honed in from years of survival and inhumane experimentation. She incapacitated another before narrowing in on one, teeth barred, and ready to launch itself at Jaina’s face. Nyx shot her arm out in quick response and let it sink it’s teeth and tighten it’s maw on her arm. In her focus on the pain in her arm and the dog attached to it, she forgot to pay attention to any of the dogs that might’ve swept up behind her. One sunk it’s teeth into her leg and yanked Nyx’s feet out from under her. Her head collided with the pavement, it felt like someone shook the contents of her skull. She ignored it for the time being, she had no time for pain. She smashed the dog attached to her arm, into the pavement til he quit moving, then kicked the other off of her leg. Nyx managed to stumble back to her feet, though things weren’t as sharp as they usually were. Was that one dog or two? She could’t really tell… they kept… changing…? She barred her own teeth and let out a deep angry growl to assert her dominance. To her surprise it worked… the dogs had had enough and got the idea… They whimpered and ran off back into the streets. She squinted at Jaina who became increasingly more blurry… Then everything went mysteriously black as she collapsed back onto the pavement. Blood tricked from her head, a stark contrast to her bright white hair. Jaina Gaben

The tunnel vision started to clear when the dogs ran off and.... Oh shit. It was the chupacabra woman from the forest. Nax? Nyx! Nyx. Fuck. She was bleeding. "Fucking idiot. Fuck. Shit. Fuck." Jaina couldn't just leave her there. She started considering options. She was too far from the Factory to get her any real medical attention that wouldn't ask questions. And... she had no other ideas of any place close. Just... her little warehouse. Jaina sighed. She picked up Nyx's arms and started to pull, watching the woman's head, muttering all the while. "Stupid fucking idiot, fuck, she fucking knew." It was about twenty minutes later that Jaina had Nyx on her little threadbare mattress. She'd cleaned the head wound as best she could, and dug up some Nacho Bitch and set it near her. She sat on the other side of the little room in the warehouse, hugged her well-worn Stitch plush, and just kept grumbling and muttering. "Stupid fucking bitch. You knew I would be fucking fine, had to go and get yourself hurt, and now that Lil girl is going to come and hunt me down because you got hurt and fucking idiot." Nyx

After a couple hours or so Nyx began to stir a bit, clearly more conscious but not having a pleasant time. She eventually bolted upright with a groan. “Fucking hell!” She put a hand to her head. It felt like someone had reached in her skull and squeezed her brain… And where the fuck was she…? What the fuck had happened? Caren? No… Caren wasn’t here… It was just another fucking nightmare… Then where was she? What was…. Right…. Her eyes narrowed in on Jaina hugging some… fuzzy… creature? “The fuck did you take me?” Nyx attempted to rush to her feet, rising from the soft mattress. It was nice… but it reminded her of things she didn’t want to be reminded of. The room began spinning soon after she got to her feet and she reached for something to hold on to. “Fucking hell…” Jaina Gaben

Jaina didn’t move, but she lifted her head up from Stitch. “You got the shot knocked out of you, like an idiot, fighting to protect someone who didn’t need it. Like an idiot. Fucking idiot. Sit the fuck back down and eat some food, dumbass.” She grumbled into her plush and curled up tighter. She didn’t like this. She didn’t like that this woman was in her home. “You fucking ruin anything I’ll… I’ll… I don’t know.” She buried her face into her plush again. “I hate thiiiiiis.” Nyx

“For one… I’m not a fucking idiot you are for standing around and cowering all the damn time.” Nyx growled angrily. “Second of all, you don’t get to tell me what to do!” Nyx missed what she was reaching for and presently lost her balance and slipped onto the floor. She rubbed at her head with a groan. “I… do what I want.” In retrospect she realized how bad that was going to look. “You’ll do what, bitch? Last I checked I could and still can woop your ass.” Nyx glared back at the girl’s blurry face which was buried in her creature. Jaina Gaben

Jaina grabbed a wadded up piece of newspaper and threw it at Nyx. It was probably a leftover piece from when she had to insulate her blanket more when it got cold. “Don’t be more of an idiot. Sit the fuck down and eat. Only a fucking moron fights to save someone they know will come back. Idiot.” She huddled closer into her corner. She had a relative stranger in her home and it sucked. “Hurry up and get better so you get the fuck out of my house.” Nyx

“You’re the fucking moron!” Nyx swatted the newspaper away. When rubbing her head she felt something on it. She clutched it and tossed it off angrily. She gave it a once over then tossed it at Jaina. “And what the fuck is this? Where is she?” Nyx wobbly rose back to her feet, mustering up what she could. She swallowed back her own fear and continued: “Tell that bitch to come and face me… or is she afraid she’ll lose a finger?” Jaina Gaben
