As the panther began to stalk toward her, Katelyn began to slowly back herself away and continues to do so as the creature dissolves and reforms back into the mirror image of herself once again. As her back comes up against the wall, she quickly gives a jerky look to either side of her and realized it was the end of the line.
As her eyes return to the creature, Kate lets out a whimper as it speaks to her, condemning humanity and by extension Kate herself as wretched, vile and traitorous. As it gets closer and closer, she slowly slides down the wall into a crouch, shaking in fear of the humanoid.
"No... t-t-that's fear. You w-were out of control and my intent was never to k-kill you, just k-k-keep you from hurting anyone like you did to me. Y-you did apologize but h-how could I know if it was real or n-not?" She stammers out as it comes to tower over her now violently trembling form, fully under the impression that it was going to now finish the job it had started with her hand and wrist.
As it reaches out for her, Kate clenches her eyes shut and then lets out a piteous cry as she feels it grab hold of her with both hands and then her eyes open with a snap as it flings her to the side with no small bit of force and there's a resounding crack as she hits the wall back first. Her spine impacts a support hidden inside the wall and then she crashes through a small hallway table with some decorations and a lamp as she falls to the floor to lay facedown upon it. A sudden numbness in her midriff and lower body makes Katelyn fairly sure that the force of the impact had broken her back. She gasps out in shock and pain, though can already feel her spine repairing itself under her skin.
The creature says a few more words and Katelyn starts crying that it wasn't true, none of it was true, but the alien ignores her and crashes through the window and out of sight. With only one hand to grab hold of anything and presently no feeling in her legs due to her broken back and spine which would take at least a few minutes to heal, Kate can do little more than lay upon the floor amidst the debris of the table and it's previous contents, bleeding from a few gashes after being cut by the shattered glass of the lamp.
"H-help me." She moans out, unsure if the creature was going to come back for her or not.

Victor had arrived just in time to see the creature throw Katelyn and jump out the window. He approached the shattered window quickly and scanned the skies for the creature, only spotting a white spec in the distance. It had gotten away. Victor swore, throwing the taser down and shattering it. That was fine, they had several more just like it.
"Should have killed it when we had the chance," he muttered before he heard a moan for help. He turns to see Katelyn on the ground, shivering in fear. He sighs in annoyance, and walks over to her, however he does not offer to help her up.
"It's gone, Kate, and I know those wounds are practically healed by now. Are you going to get up like an respectable person or are you going to rely on Claira or your friend to kiss your booboo to make it better when they here?" He was getting a bit tired of this kid already. He knew fully well that it would have been a terrifying experience to have your hand literally melted off, but he had seen how she had simply allowed herself to be swallowed with fear and thrown around like some rag-doll.
What happened to that fierce teenager that tried to kick a small gang's ass on the television? Was losing a single hand really so traumatic as to cause someone to just crumble at the sight of that thing? Was there something in the acid that was causing this kind of emotional reaction? Victor stared down at the girl, waiting for her to either stand or remain in her little ball of emotion.

Kate adopted a bit of a sour look as she felt her spine click itself back into place, just as Victor rushes up and looks out the busted window. To her dismay as the man speaks to her, condescesion clear, and with a bit of effort she slowly rises up.
"O-okay what is your problem with me really, man?" Kate asks tiredly as she forces herself up. "First of all, my strength isn't at a hundred percent again yet, I just spent three days in a coma, that I might add was brought on by helping you not get yourself killed down in the basement, and so it's taking a bit to get everything back up to par. Second, that thing ate my damn hand off just by grabbing me. And seen as how my hand doesn't seem like it's going to grow back, whether or not the thing enjoys eating people, excuse me for not wanting to come into physical contact with it again since I'm 'man' enough to admit that thing scares the shit out of me. Fighting another human with powers is one thing but come on, I bet you and I don't know even half of what that thing is capable of."
She gets to her feet fully and leans heavily against the wall, brushing bits of the wall and glass from her clothes before looking up to Victor again. "On that note though, I can give you a bit of further info on it that I bet you didn't know. I'm not sure if it's from the thing eating my hand or assuming my form, but it also has my strength. Chances are my healing too, at least when it looks like me so yeah as it still has both hands I wouldn't have been able to do much."
She pauses for a moment and then begins to walk away. "Everyone has fear of something, and right now that creature is mine. Oh yeah, and a minute ago my spine was broken so I couldn't even move until it healed. So go head and make fun all you want about me crying about the healed cuts you actually saw, whatever." She mutters out her last words as she stalks off, a couple tears leaking out as while she wouldn't admit it, Victor's words had made her feel inadequate and she didn't know why he had to be such a dick to her.

Victor received a likely well deserved verbal lashing from Katelyn. However it did not seem to effect him. He merely watched as she walked off, dismissing her as a child. He was the one that faced the creature in the first place in that room, she was the one that decided to fall to her knees and cry. Sure Victor was scared, he was practically always scared. However he denied it and acted despite his fears.
He had rolled his eyes as she informed him of things he already knew, such as the creature gaining her healing and strength. Also a coma? Really? All she did was pass out for like three days, not like it was three weeks! Fool. Such a fool. Victor huffed, lifting his hand to press a button on the watch. The sirens stopped and he spoke into the intercom system, "As you were. Clean up crew in Room Twelve."
Sinclair and Fayte had headed to the kitchen when all of this happened, to request a meal. When the sirens went up and the lockdown was issued, Sinclair had gone out to search for Katelyn, but the staff prevented her for her own safety. Fayte had merely been wide-eyed, no longer sleepy and completely awake due to the loud alarms. Once the alarms were released, the staff let the girls go. Sinclair stayed to give the staff a good lecture on who was the boss around here, while Fayte went to search for Katelyn.
She spotted her in the main hall, leaving the residential part of the house, "What happened? Are you okay?" she asked.

As she walked away, Kate's fear of the creature began to fade since it was clear the thing was gone, and as she turns the corner she comes across the open door of a bathroom and ducks inside. Turning the sink on, she grabs one of the facecloths laying nearby and after soaking it, Kate uses it to wipe the blood left over from her healed cuts from her face and the bits she is able to get off her arms with one hand. It's not perfect and she is unable to reach a couple splotches of blood by the elbow of her full arm.
Leaving the bathroom after tossing the bloodied cloth in the trash bin, Kate slowly continued on and made her way down stairs again, running into the now wide-awake Fayte in the main hall. When Fay asks her what happened and if she was alright, Kate gives a shaky nod. She wouldn't say it out loud but Victor's assessment of her being a coward and crybaby had really hurt, and she wondered to herself if the man even knew the difference between being brave and being stupid.
"Yeah, I'm good now." Kate tells her best friend with another nod as she comes to a stop, standing a few feet away from the other teenage. "Had a brief run in with the creature again, but all it did was throw me into a wall. It's gone now... for good I think."

Fayte was a bit confused by the saying of 'gone for good', had it been killed? Either way, she was glad that all it had done was throw Katelyn into a wall...ok that wasn't necessarily a good thing, but compared to what it COULD do, it was the lesser of two evils. She would have asked if Katelyn was alright, but she had said that she was good.
"Wait, so it got out?" She exclaimed in disbelief though the question was a bit rhetoric since it was blatantly obvious.
"The staff wouldn't let me and Sin out of the kitchen with the lock down, Sin's back there yelling at them..." she changed the subject, figuring her friend likely would not want to talk about it. She glanced back towards the kitchen, "The chef said something about making some special pizza or something..." she paused for a second, completely freezing up as if someone had pressed the 'pause' button on her for a second before she resumed, "Don't eat the Pepperoni. You wont like it," she added on. While the precognition had its uses, she had a feeling this was just going to get flat out annoying eventually...

Katelyn gives a slow nod to Fay's question as she speaks in reply. "Yeah, it jumped out through a window. Made a big mess of the hall by my bedroom."
She goes silent for a couple seconds as Fayte explains about herself and Sin having been stuck in the kitchens during the lockdown that Kate didn't know had happened. She'd heard the alarms sure, but hadn't been aware of the main house having that level of security measures. The brunette gives another nod in reply to her friend's comment about what was apparently being made for dinner tonight, and then her eyebrow quirks in confusion as Fayte suddenly goes still and silent with a distant look in the other girl's eyes for a moment before she then warns Kate not to eat the pepperoni.
"Okay.." Kate says with confusion, and then realizes that Fay must have just experienced another vision. "Oh, oh right. Yeah, I'll steer clear of em then, maybe ask for bacon."
She gives a quick glance around for anyone else that might be close and listening to them talk, knowing full well that Fay wanted to keep her powers a secret between the two of them, but not seeing anyone she turns back to her friend after just a moment.
"Have they been happening a lot?" She asks quietly, so that just the pair of them would hear, just in case.

"Not really," Fayte shrugged, speaking quietly as well, "It's just kind of...random? It shows random things too."
Although Fayte had noticed one consistency with her visions. They had all been about Katelyn. She did not know why, but they all had something to do with her. She would not admit it though, seemed like it would kind of freak Katelyn out. Especially if the visions might show something personal about Katelyn she might not want Fayte to know about.
Why did this have to start up now? She wondered if there was some way to do it on will or suppress it so she's not zoning out randomly in mid-conversation. That seemed like it'd be a bit awkward...
"I just hope it doesn't make a habit of happening in public when i'm talking to someone like that. It might make people think i'm psycho or something," Fayte spoke with a look of brief anxiety.

Katelyn gives her friend a couple nods of understanding as she listens to her explain about the spontanenity of her premonitions.
"Well it helped you find me so I'm thankful for that." She says after Fayte finishes speaking completely, having voiced fears about her having visions in public and freezing up as she'd just done, and that people might become afraid of the blonde. Kate adopted a thoughtful look for a moment, trying to come up with something to help Fayte explain away such incidents if they did occur. If they were going back to school and Fay was completely against letting anyone else know about her powers it could indeed present a problem for her friend.
"Hmmm..." Kate trails off for a moment, before an idea pops into her head as she remembers a kid she'd known from middle school. Keeping her voice low still, she speaks again. "You could maybe pass it off as a mild affliction with seizures? I knew a boy a couple years ago with epilepsy and his less intense attacks sometimes looked a bit similar to what just happened to you.."

"Maybe..." Fayte trailed off, "By the way it wasn't a matter of disliking it a little bit, the seasonings the chef used made you sick, wasn't on purpose though," she decided to add on and tell Katelyn the whole story just in case the Burnett decided to eat anyways and ignore her warning.
Fayte wondered what was next for her. Was Sinclair going to get them into a school soon? A bit of rest? God she hoped she could sleep soon...the little nap in the car hadn't been enough for her, and she could still feel the effects of lack of sleep returning to her now that the alarm and danger was gone. She wasn't quite to the point of passing out, but she felt like she was definitely going to if she didn't get a good amount of rest soon.
She did not want to sleep until she had eaten however, she feared she would sleep right on through the meal and she was starving. She probably was not as starving as Katelyn...well maybe? Fayte did not know if those regenerative powers affected her metabolism, but after three days Fayte would bet that all she would want to do is eat.
Faye noticed Victor drawing near, he did not seem to acknowledge them, instead tapping around on a tablet and passing right on by them as if they were not there. Odd.
