"So I know that Carter is a genius, the twins can teleport, and I am a blind badass. What can you do?" Abbey asked Alana, curious as to what made her different.

It seemed like Alana was going to say something, but she shook her head, even though Abbey couldn't see it. Before Abbey could ask, Alana changed into the same cat Abbey had found the day the group met.

"Woah. Cool!" Abbey exclaimed. "Can I tell the others?" She asked the cat.

Alana changed from a cat to a dog and nodded her head. Abbey smiled at her and turned to go find Carter.

"Carter! Jemma! Jason! Anyone home?" Abbey called out. She turned around and saw Alana the dog sitting on a couch. Since they didn't seem to be inside, Abbey thought she should check outside. Boy was she wrong.

"What should we do? This is the blind girl, but we can't find the other girl." A gruff voice brought Abbey to consciousness.  Her sensitive ears picked up on her name being called from far away. She let out a hum quietly, but she knew Alana would be able to hear it.

"Captain said she'd be the bait! So we wait for the Alana girl to get here, then we bring 'em both to Captain." Another voice said, this one with a strange accent.

Abbey listened very closely to the sound of shuffling feet and the sounds of them breathing, and she estimated that there were around five men around her. No women. Abbey could feel that she was on the grass, and could feel the sun on her. Suddenly, she heard a small meow from maybe two yards away. Abbey could hear everyone turn to look at the cat, which Abbey guessed was Alana.

Alana looked up at the group of men and meowed.

"Well, look at you, aren't you cute?" A man asked her.

Suddenly she changed into a ferocious white lion and he yelled.

"What the hell? Who are you?" He asked her, backing away. Alana moved forward and pushed past everyone, and she picked up Abbey gently by her shirt and placed her on her back. She roared, then sprinted away. She heard the sound of a gun, then felt a stinging sensation in her paw, then she was knocked out.

"We got a tiger, but the blind one got away, so we don't have any bait. The tiger was a cat, though. It's probably some weird mutant cat. What d'ya think?" A man with a dragon tattoo on his arm asked.

"I think it is actually a human. Wake her up quietly." The man dressed in a suit said.

"Hey, you. Little tiger. Wake up or I kick you," Alana heard a female voice say. It suddenly occurred to her that she was on a hard cold surface. She felt a strong kick to her side just then. She fought hard not to flinch. "I'll kick you harder, then jump on you. Wake up, little tiger." The same voice threatened.

Suddenly, as if Alana had list control of her body, she felt herself shift into human form, then felt her mouth move and was forced to say, "I am Alana."
