Chapter 4: Touring the Lab

Alex was stroking the wolf as she waited.

"We're back~! Well me and Grim," He corrected himself. "Trayaurus is doing some tests to help find some answers for us."

Alex smiled at him. "Welcome back." She replied. The wolf looked up at him.

Dan looked at the two. "So. How about a tour of the place?" He asked her. Just to break up the awkwardness.

She smiled a little wider. "That sounds wonderful!" She agreed, standing up.

Dan smiled and turn towards the stairs. "Great! Follow me and I'll show everything you need to know about this laboratory."

Alex followed him.

Grim and the other wolf followed behind them.

Dan showed Alex around the lab, although he stayed away from the entrance. He looked down the hall. "Now I think Trayaurus is down here doing some kind of test."

Alex looked down the hall curiously. "What kind of tests?" she asked curiously.

"Ahh. I'm not sure." He replied, standing beside her. "We could find out."

"I don't want to distract him..." she replied. She glanced up at the glass roof. "Maybe we can go outside?" she asked, seeing the blue sky.

Dan looked up, seeing they had more than enough time to hang outside before sunset. "Alright. To the entrance!"

She quickly headed to the entrance and the wolf ran after her.

Dan followed her and stopped once they stepped outside. "Whoa...this looks amazing." He said while breathing in the fresh air.

She smiled. "Much better when it's not dark, raining, and being chased by monsters." She agreed as she looked around.

"Yeah, that is very true." Dan agreed. "But it's a jungle biome, so you never know what you might find out here."

Alex nodded as she looked around. She saw a sheep in the distance and ran over to it.

It stared at her as she ran her hand through its wool with a smile.

Dan watched the two for a bit before walking over to a tree. "I wonder if I can craft a nametag." He said to himself, eyeing up a tree.

Alex glanced over at him, curious what he was up too.

Grim sat beside him.

She approached him. "What are you doing?" she asked him.

"I'm going to do something I might regret." Dan replied. He clenched his fist and punched the tree trunk with a loud thump. He then went quiet.

Alex blinked.

For a moment, all was silent until the sheep went, "baa!"

She looked at the tree then Dan then back at the tree. She noticed it had slight cracks in the bark from the hit. "It cracked..."

She said as she traced her fingers along the cracks. She turned to him. "How did you do that?"

Something sat at the back of her mind. That wasn't possible. Yet....Was.

But only in one place she knew about...

Oh, but what was it? It was there and it was gone again.

She seemed to space out as she processed this and looked kind of faint.

Dan looked at her. "Alex? Are you okay?" He lightly tapped her shoulder.

She didn't answer or react at first, a glazed look covering her eyes. She seemed to be in a trance. She stood there simply because her arm held her against the tree.

"Oh. This isn't good," He said, looking around. "Come on Alex, snap out of it."

She snapped out of it at his voice. She blinked away the clouded look in her eyes. She stared at him a look of confusion on her face.

For a moment, she didn't know who he was, where she was, or why she wasn't in her bed.

Then it came back to her.

"D-Dan...?" She asked, her voice confused seeing the worry on his face.

"Oh, thank goodness!" Dan sighed in relief. "Are you alright?"

She looked at him. "Why wouldn't I be?" She asked, kind of getting scared from his concern. "What happened?" She asked. She winced as her head started to hurt. "My head hurts..." she muttered.

"I'll tell you later. Right now, I think we should go back inside." He told Alex while leading her away from the tree.

Dan called for Grim to follow as they went back into the Lab.

Grim ran after him.
