Kyri slowly raised her head to look at her captors, her head still pounding from whatever they had put in the tranquilizer that had hit her. The Genii and Sangui were standing several yards away, and nearby, she could see several other Lykaio tied up. Sirra. Pip. She couldn't see Jep as well as several others that were missing - they had probably already been taken through the Gate.
Laying her head back down, she breathed in deeply. Surely, Evan and the others were looking for her. He wasn't close, though. She could always smell him when he was close. But he wouldn't be able to smell her. She had to find another way to help him.
Slowly, she lifted her hand, actually glad that they had tied her up by a collar, leaving her limbs free. She started to dig in the grass and dirt next to her to try to clear enough of an area that she could leave a message.
Before she could, however, a booted foot suddenly came down on her hand, causing her to cry out.
"You're a pretty one," the Genii said, kneeling down and taking her face in his hands. "Wonder what you look like when you're changed. Change for me."
She shook her head, her body starting to tremble. Was this what her parents had gone through? Had they fought against their captors? "No," she spit out.
He grabbed her hair and pulled her head back. "Change. Or I'll make you hurt so much, you'll want to change."
