They stood in front of Betty's house unsure whether to knock or to just open the door. Before they could decide what to do, the door flew open.
"Oh good, you're here," a frazzled Betty exclaimed. "It's Chris. He's awake and he's angry."
Silky raced past Betty into the house to see Chris. He could be heard from the parlor, he was yelling so loud. Looking at the room she saw the bed sheets in a heap on the floor and a figure crouched in the corner. "What have you done to me?" he growled.
Silky knelt at his level and coaxed him like a frightened child, "Chris listen to me, you were dying and we had to help you somehow."
"To be honest, that is not entirely true," Betty stood in the doorway. "You were injured beyond my ability to heal; you would have lost your legs."
"So what monstrosity did you change me into to save my legs?" Chris growled.
"I simply mixed some of your DNA with a lizard's."
"For what purpose?"
"To regenerate the damaged tissue in your leg. The tail was an unfortunate and unforeseen side effect." Her voice was even but her eyes betrayed the hurt she felt at his anger.
"Unfortunate?" he yelled incredulously. "It would have been better if you had left me alone. At least I would have still been human."
"I know, but you would have been crippled." she yelled back at him. They ignored the hurt in Silky's expression as Chris mentioned being less than human.
"Tell me what I should have done!"
"Let me die or let me be. Not turn me into a freak."
"A freak like me?" The two stopped and looked at Silky when they heard her voice.
"No that's not what-"
"What you meant." Silky laughed as she stood. "Of course you didn't. No one ever does until after they realize they have insulted someone. Just look for me at home after you've decided what is or isn't human."
Silky stormed out, running past a confused Noah. She didn't stop at his voice calling her name. He didn't catch up to her until they got in front of her house.
"What is going on? I mean did you see Chris? Is he okay?"
Silky snorted, "He's just fine, just upset about the method of his salvation. If you'll excuse me, I'd like to be alone for a while." and she slammed the door in his face.
Noah blinked a few times before walking a little ways into the woods.
"Is the plan falling into place?"
He smiled and looked to Erin, "Most seamlessly."
"Good, soon we shall be revenged on that cat."
"Assemble the warriors; it is time to move to phase 2.
Erin remained with the assembled warriors before she left to report back to Noah. She wanted to give them further instruction so all would go smoothly.
"Can you remember all I've told you now?" The dragon mouse nodded.
"Excellent, we cannot have anything go wrong when the time comes." She turned and grinned while she walked away.
