Aspen shook in her cell. Very bored, and nervous from all the commotion.

The guards were talking. "Maybe the poor girl just needs company..." said one. "Yeah, i'll give her company, all right" said another. That guy got thwacked by another guard. "These are breathing organisms, you don't use them for your own needs"

Nobody bristled, eyelights going red from one of the men's comments. Child abbuse. He hated that. He had to deal with the results of thoughts like that, people only thinking of themselves, and not of what their disgusting actions would bring forth. Not of their minds breaking apart, not of the body hatred they'd have for themselves, not of how sad and guilty they'd feel even though it wasn't their fault. Anyone touches the child in that way and he kills them, he promises himself.

Aspen would stare at the small red flower she was holding, it was the only thing that made her remember what it had been like before.

They told the guy with a bad idea to go away and go home, and that's what he did. "Maybe you should just take her to the field, let her be in the place she was meant to be" the other guy nodded "Yeah, I'll do that right now" he headed to her cell, and simply asked. "Would you like to go outside?"

Aspen looked up, As the mention of the outside she nodded, clearly exicted.

He smiled "Then let's go" he opened the door and led her to a grass field that happened to be an enclosed forest

Aspen ran into the forest, hugging a nearby tree and whispering soft words to it. The trees branches seemed to creak in a reply and she smiled ever so.

Both the guards watched her and smiled, hopefully, she can enjoy her experience in the lab a little more

From her clenched hand, she protruded the small red flower she had been keeping, setting on the ground, not realizing the guards were watching. She touched the petals lightly and the roots started to move, slowly at first but then faster, until the flower soaked up the soil and grey 3 times in size than before. She whispered something to it, before giggling and watching it's petals blow in the breeze.

They wanted to let her sleep there, so they all just sat down, took off their helmets, and watched her

She would lay down on the soft grass, staring up at the sky. She wished more than anything to go back, but other than going outside, this was not pleasant. All she did anyway was sit in a musty cell and listen to the wind and screaming that echoed through the halls. She was worried she would get sick if she stayed here without any sun much longer.

That's why the place was enclosed in an invisible barrier that still gives out the sun's rays

(I was saying she would have gotten sick if she wouldn't have been able to get outside.) :b

Aspen would lay down, closing her eyes and listening to the soft sound of the wind.

The guards had to stay with her but kept their distance

Aspen would raise a single hand up to the sky, calling out to the trees. One of the branches started to move, creaking with every bend. It would move down, grasping her outstretched hand and curling around her waist, lifting her up into the branches. Her eyes would stay closed, but a small smile spread onto her face, pure joy reflecting off her bond with nature.

They watched her, impressed, but one was writing data down

Aspen seemed lost in thought and the moment, totally oblivious of the guards watching her. In her vision, the only thing she could see was the soft glow of the trees and grass.
