@AvidVenturer -- longer /just/ human."
Her body gave a soft shudder as she remembered the bright magenta eyes she was in the mirror looking back at her.
Those were definitely not human.
@AvidVenturer -- fire - breathing hybrid that had a lion's body, the head of a goat and a snake tail."
Shifting her eyes back to her friend, she tilted her head to the side, her hand pointing at the entirety of her figure.
"Obviously I have none of that. But my best guess is that I am no --
@AvidVenturer -- could help elucidate the mistery that was encompassing her newly gained form.
Allison's gaze shifted to the horizon as she spoke again, remembering what she had found in her father's books about the chimeras.
"In the Greek mythology, a chimaera was a monstrous --
@AvidVenturer The girl let out a soft chuckle as she watched Stiles, well..being Stiles. The curiosity of the boy always got the best of him.
Allison gave a little shrug as she looked at her friend. She was as lost as he was, except for all the flashbacks. Not even her family's bestiary --

@AvidVenturer -- I don't know if I have claws or weird skin or even a tail. But I do have these."
Her eyelids fell closed for a short second before opening with such a slow movement that it felt like an eternity, revealing a deep shade of bright pink, almost magenta, embed with a few lines --
@AvidVenturer -- were sounding from inside my head, although I know they were real. It sounded like a cut off radio frequency.
And there was this cold dark place that smelled like blood and mercury for some reason."
She glanced at Stiles, pinching her lips into a a straight white line. --
@AvidVenturer -- She let out a soft chuckle before speaking, letting out all her confusion out in the world.
"I am not quite sure how it was possible, but I do remember some bits and pieces. Their hazy, but it seems like it was an experiment.
I remember deep voices that sounded like they --
@AvidVenturer -- diferently, the fear of the unknown creature she was.
But the look on Stiles' face swept all those fears away; he looked at her with the most curious eyes in the world - which was not at all suprising, actually, since it was Stiles - but there was no difference in his act. --
@AvidVenturer Allison had dreaded this moment - having to tell her friends the truth - as it was something not even she was completely understanding yet; all she had were those nightmarish memories that haunted her every time her eyelids closed; the fear of watching her friends look at her --
@AvidVenturer -- took a deep breath before she continued on the same matter of factly tone that had been her most defining trait.
"You cannot protect me, Stiles. No one can. I'm.."
She took another breath before she continued, the word felling like acid on her tongue.
"I'm a chimera."
@AvidVenturer -- figured it out. That split second was all it took. And she had no one else to blame for her arrogance.
Hearing Stiles promising to protect her made her realize that it was time for her to tell her friends what had really happened to her and how she was still alive. She --
@AvidVenturer -- put the puzzle of her memories together. At that moment she had realized who's fault it was that she had been fatally wounded: her own fault. The moment when she saw the silver arrow destroy the Oni, for a split second she had let her guard down, feeling proud that she had --
@AvidVenturer -- Allison's gaze softened as she looked at him. Her voice was soft but in a matter of fact manner.
"It wasn't your fault, Stiles. It was the nogitsune. And it was my fault too. I let my guard down."
Allison had thought intensely about what happened that night, trying to --
@AvidVenturer Of course Stiles would try to protect her. Not only because of the enourmous guilt he felt, but because that was the kind of friend he was. The fragile boy who despite his terrified nature, always became the most fearless of them when it came to protecting his friends. --
@AvidVenturer -- been the most affected by this. Taking a mostly unheard breath, she looked at him with a playful smile, as she spoke with a voice that carried a tone of someone telling an inside joke.
"Well, I am an Argent after all. We don't stay dead for long."
@AvidVenturer -- could happen to her. Everything was a blur and the fact that everyone seemed to be walking on eggshells around her, even herself, was not helping.
Allison noticed the look on her friend's face as he spoke the last words. She knew he blamed himself, but she didn't. He had --
