The next morning, the wolf-cheetah hybrid left her bedroom and went to check on her temporary house guest. On the couch lay a sleeping wolfess with the same stained clothes from the night before. Copeland groaned as she was shaken, and then looked up to the hybrid with a disinterested look.

“Hey Analie.”

Analie smiled back, then walked past her to the kitchen.

“Real good at acting normal, Ana.” Copeland groaned, and rolled onto her back, “Was this really needed?”

Analie didn’t answer back, she just pulled out some eggs from the fridge.

“Right, your alter ego is to be mute.” Copeland sighed hard, “Could you at least text me the answers?” Then she looked at her phone as it chimed about a text message, “Thank you.”

Another message chimed through, “Everyone else was exhausted and I needed to run more research on your condition. As well as the pathogen of the bioweapon you were injected with.”

“Bioweapon?” Copeland looked at Analie after reading it, “So I’m just sick? Then I just have to let it run its course, right?”
A new message appeared on her phone, “Negative, I crossed the information we got from that drug thief with the needle of fluid, What we have is something that isn’t based on normal science. It might be a combination of genetic enhancements and some undocumented research.

“So… That means you couldn’t cure it?” Copeland started to sit up.

“Not likely, Anomalies like that are not publicly studied,” Analie stated as eggs were frying, “In addition, my specialty is technology, not virology.”

“So this could be in a similar vein to my family curse.” Copeland said, “But something this severe couldn’t kill me, right?”

Analie looked away from the eggs and to Copeland… She shook her head.

Copeland ‘s ears lowered as she looked to her, “You looked like you hesitated there.”
Analie turned back to the pan and slid the eggs onto two different plates.

“Analie, what is it?” Copeland said.

No response from Analie, she was walking over to her with two plates that had eggs on them.

“Analie, just tell me, I need to know.” Copeland said, “If this is killing me just say it.”

Analie didn’t say it, Instead she held out a spoon to her.

“Analie-!”

Analie’s thumb was tapping the spoon in her hand.

“Huh?” Copeland took the spoon and looked into it.

Though her reflection was upside down, she could see it, her fangs peeking out of her lips… and her left eye was a vibrant red.
