"L-loocked...uss out..." Beast said slowly, like he was testing the words out. Evee watched as he extended his hand towards the door, quirking a brow in confusion. In this position, the blonde was half caged by the techbreed’s form, but it wasn’t as scary now that she understood him better. Still, that didn’t stop her from flinching when his arm quickened to an inhuman speed and slammed through the front door, leaving it to clamor to the floor.
“Jesus, Beast!” Evee squeaked, eyes wide as she turned around to observe the destruction. The creature withdrew his hand and sat back, panting quietly. “I guess that’ll work. Mom and dad are gonna be pissed though,” Evee admitted, rubbing at her hands nervously. “Okay, wait here for a minute,” she told him, before crossing through the door frame and stepping over the fallen door. Once inside, Evee turned to make eye contact with Beast (Well, not really, because he doesn’t have eyes, but you get the picture) and held up her hand and repeated, “Stay”.
Once she was convinced he was going to listen to her, Evee hurried to the living room and started pushing all of the furniture against the walls. Luckily, her parents decorating style was very simplistic, so there wasn’t much to it, just a couch, two recliners, and an end table. Once she finished this job she set about going through the house to collect all of the blanket and pillows. She arranged them in center of the room, making a nest of sorts for the two of them. Evee observed her work before nodding, pleased with the outcome, and turning back to the doorway, where she could see Beast had not moved yet. “Okay, you can come in now,” she told him, motioning for him to step inside. The house had a sturdy cement foundation, unlike the porch, so the teenager was pretty sure it would be able to take his weight. “It’s alright, just try not to make a bigger hole than you already have.”

Reference pictures for my post. Cuz, y'know, I'm a girl. :D
Oh hey, we also never decided if the people with animal features have an official name like, "Faunas" or something like that. Or is it all just derogatory terms?

“Yes mom, I’m fine,” Lilith sighed, unlocking the front door of the flower shop while speaking into the cell phone that was cradled between her shoulder and ear. The early fall breeze blew down Main Street, causing her black floral dress to flutter in the wind. ’I should have grabbed a jacket,’ the girl thought as the door sprang open and she stepped into the much warmer shop. “Yes, I always lock my doors at night and I am eating my vegetables,” Lilith rolled her eyes before smiling fondly at her mother’s incessant questioning. “I’m at work now mom, I have to go…Yes, I’ll call you next Saturday, same time as always…I love you too,” she said, effectively wrapping up the call. The girl punched the ‘End Call’ button on her smartphone before flipping on the light switches and stashing her purse underneath the registers.
Brushing a stray lock of hair out of her face, Lilith shifted her gaze to the front window of the store, peering back out at street outside. It was a Saturday, so the, ‘Enchanted Florist’ opened at noon instead of its usual 10:00am and the city folk seemed to just now be waking up from their hangovers from the night before. The sky was grey and bleak looking on this afternoon, so Lilith didn’t figure it would be an especially busy day for sales. Turning back to the register, she clocked in and then set out to move all the plants that had to be refrigerated from the walk-in freezer in the back to the front of the store. As time went on, the mouthwatering smell of freshly baked bread traversed its way over from the neighboring bakery, causing Lilith’s tail to twitch in interest from where it was bound against her leg. “Down girl,” she giggled, brushing at the back of her skirt to make sure it was still laying straight.
Done with the first task of the morning, the short girl grabbed a few stems of white Hyacinthus and Baby’s Breath before making her way over to the long oak work bench in the middle of the shop. There were only a few bouquets scheduled for pick up today, but Lilith figured that she’d better go ahead and get started on them now.

Name: Lilith Fairfax
Age: 23
Height: 5’4”
Weight: 124ibs.
Bio: Lilith’s father was a deeply religious man, so when his daughter was born, Mr. Fairfax was convinced that his wife must have had some kind of unholy congress with a beast. How else could this little girl be born with a red and black ringed tail? After seeking council from his local pastor, Ezra Fairfax left his wife of six years, denouncing her and little Lilith both as monsters.
While heartbroken over her husband’s actions, Amelia Fairfax loved her child deeply, and vowed to raise her as best as she could on her own. The now single mother started looking into getting the extra appendage removed, but quickly learned about other children with the same type of afflictions having similar surgeries and becoming gravely ill, some even dying. In the end, she decided that the tail removal was too big a risk, and came up with a new plan; they would conceal it.
The plan was much more difficult to implement than Ms. Fairfax had suspected. Now five years old, young Lilith was a willful and rambunctious child and threw temper tantrums when told she had to hold her tail still and wear long, baggy skirts. Lilith liked her tail, it made her feel special, and she wanted to show it off to all the other kids in her kindergarten class. So, despite her mother’s advice, Lilith let some of the other girls see it while they were all playing princesses on the playground.
It did not go well.
Lilith was suspended from school and came home with a blackened eye and a split lip. “It could have been so much worse,” her mother had said to the five year old as she tended her wounds. “They’ve never seen anyone quite like you, so they’re afraid of you. That’s why you can’t let them know about you, little darling. Because they’ll always try to hurt you.”
Later that night, as Amelia tucked her daughter into bed and kissed her goodnight, she promised that she would make it all better. They moved to a new town the following month and Amelia came up with a way to bind Lilith’s tail to the inside of her leg using a series of belts. It was uncomfortable and she still had to wear long skirts, but it kept the youngster from accidently giving herself away. Lilith made new friends and most importantly, she was happy.
The rest of Lilith’s school career was uneventful, and she graduated from her high school at the top of her class. She received a scholarship to the local college and began studying there to become a nurse, but after an unfortunate incident with her dorm mate during her junior year, her secret was discovered and the professors began failing her. Lilith ended up dropping out and finding work at a local flower shop called, ‘The Enchanted Florist’. She is currently living in a small studio apartment not far from where she works and is still hiding her animal features.
Kameyo and Nori went to bed too early. :P
Yay for breaking back into the house! I really liked how Beast communicated in that last post, I wasn't expecting it at all! He just gets cooler everyday! :D
"wheere...d-diid yooou...comee...froom..." the thing parroted back, leaning in closer. ’I’m okay. I’m okay,’ Evee thought to herself as she tried to control her breathing, but her heart had sped back up and she couldn’t quite quell the wave of panic that overtook her. The creature waited for a moment, before its tongue darted out and stabbed the young blonde’s forearm.
It was unlike anything that she had ever experienced. Evee had never been set on fire before, but she imagined that it probably felt an awful lot like this.
Evee cried out and tried to jerk her arm back, but it proved fruitless. “Stop it, that hurts!” she yelled, tears prickling the corner of her eyes and feeling betrayed. The other did not attack her farther, just withdrew its black tongue and stared at her blankly. “I helped you, you jerk! Why would y--,” Evee stopped as the pain receded and the wound closed on its own. Her blue eyes tracked the tiny silver rivulets that flowed from where the puncture had previously been, her mouth open in a tiny “o” shape. “What--,”
Her thoughts where overtaken by a series of pictures and words. Evee couldn’t do anything but experience it, her hands twitching fruitlessly and her eyes wide but unseeing. The last thing she heard before the visions left her was, “Beast” and then she was back on her porch, the techbreed lumbering over her. Evee got up and pushed past him, running to the railing of the porch and vomiting over the side. The student coughed a few times once she stopped heaving, wiping the corner of mouth with her hand. “Gross,” she whispered, but despite just puking her guts up, the blonde felt much better. Her head was no longer aching and she wasn't near as dizzy anymore.
Slowly, Evee turned back to the creature. “Beast?” she asked tentatively, stepping closer to the techbreed and reaching a hand up to touch the shoulder closest to her. “Is that how you got here?” she asked again, her voice gentler now that she knew he wasn’t trying to hurt her. “Thank you for showing me,” Evee continued, patting the metal paneling under her hand. “If you need to show me other things, can you warn me first? I know you were just trying to be helpful, but that hurt me and I wasn’t ready for it,” the blonde admitted, making sure to keep her voice calm so he knew she wasn’t upset anymore. “I’m sorry I yelled at you. I was just scared, you know? I’m sure you know what that’s like,” the girl explained, the image of a battlefield riddled with explosions and the smell of burnt flesh and charred metal clear in her mind.
“I’m Evee,” she told him, suddenly embarrassed that she knew his name and he didn’t know hers. To make sure he understood her, she touched the center of her chest and said, “Evee,” before extending her hand back and touching the center of his chest. “Beast,” she smiled up at him, one of her dimples peeking out. “I’m glad to have met you,” she admitted, before shivering. The teenager hadn’t realized it before, but her nightgown was drenched from the rain being blown onto the porch and she was freezing. “I wish I hadn’t locked us out,” Evee shivered, wrapping her arms around herself to try to keep in her body heat.

Yay, I finally got a post up! Do you think we should do a time warp soon? They could spend the night on the porch until tomorrow, where Beast could help her get into the house. Or if more techbreeds fell from the sky, they could meet another one and Beast could protect her. I don't know, just some ideas.
Evee tried her best not to panic as the creature climbed up onto the porch with her, but it was easier said than done. Even though the high schooler had offered for him to join her, he was still an eyeless robot monster who had hatched out of a rock that fell from the sky. Evee swallowed hard as the beast managed to get it's head and shoulders under the covering, towering over her again. After a moment went by and the creature hadn't made any aggressive motions towards her, Evee let out a sigh and forced herself to relax.
"That's better, right?" She asked, giving the other a pained smile. The eyeless monster was actually blocking the wind and rain with his hulking body, so Evee was much warmer. "Looks like we're stuck out here, big guy," she said somewhat conversationally, reaching out slowly and running a hesitant finger over his forearm. "Woah. You really are made of metal," the girl observed, transfixed. "Where did you come from?" She asked, even though she didn't think she would get an answer.
