Chapter 19: Chapter 19 - Questioning
The female nodded her head at the girl's reply and then asked another question.
"Where are you from?"
The girl pretended to be thinking for a second, as if deep in thought, before replying to the question.
"I can't remember, it's hazy."
She said with a downcasted look— her face portraying the false sense of loss that she wanted them to see.
The female agent frowned her brows at this reply but didn't do much else— instead, she moved on to other questions.
"Do you remember what happened?"
"I can't remember, I just remember waking up in a room before escaping somehow. I can't remember how I did that, it's all so blurry and-"
She couldn't finish her sentence as she looked down and pretended to be sad— after all, she was just a child, shedding a few tears would put the act together.
"Alright alright, there is no reason to cry. We are here to help figure this out with you, so just help us ok?"
Said the male of the two agents, while the female just smiled at the girl and nodded her head as if confirming it.
"Ok, just one more question and we will leave you to rest ok? How did you get to this town?"
While it may seem like a simple question or even a useless one, to them it was rather important as it would help them fill in some blank spaces they had— it could even help them find out what they came here for.
"I just remember walking— running— for a long time. Eventually, I found myself here."
With that answer, the female agent nodded and stood up— walking out of the room so that the male could finish off the matter.
"Thank you for speaking to us, please take a rest, we will do our best to try and figure out what happened to you and help you."
He said as he stood up as well, and once the girl nodded back at him he smiled and walked out of the room.
'Follow them, hide underground, and keep some distance.'
She commanded in her mind the second she saw them leaving— who she commanded was very obvious.
Her hunters, specifically one of them to follow the agents from afar and keep an eye on them so that she will know what they were doing at all times.
She didn't expect them to come here and she needed to at least be aware of why they were here and what they were doing here.
As she watched them from a distance through her hunter she was able to see them speaking— and while she couldn't hear what they were saying from this distance underground she could see they were saying something.
"So did you sense anything?"
Ask Miguel to the female agent, Frea.
"Yes, but it wasn't like anything I've ever seen before. She wasn't like any of the mutants I've seen, her entire body is different."
She explained to the man with a complex look on her face. She was a mutant— one that worked for the FBI and was tasked with helping them find other mutants thanks to her ability, but right now she wasn't even sure if this girl was a mutant.
"What do you mean? Mutants often have a different biological makeup than humans, could that be what you sensed?"
"Well, as you know my ability lets me sense the biological changes in things around me, however, her body wasn't like any of the mutants we have seen so far. They had slight differences, they were still somewhat human, but she— she was odd."
She explained as the two entered their car, opening a built-in small computer-like device to make a report about the situation to their higher-ups.
"So what should we say? That she is a mutant or that she isn't? Was she lying when she spoke?"
He asked as he was unsure how to report this case to the people above them— they had been sent here to check if she was a mutant because of the recent mutant kidnapping cases, but, they weren't sure if she was one now.
"She should be a mutant, just a different one. I couldn't even tell if she was lying because her body is different, normally I can sense the shifts in their heart to tell if they are lying, but she doesn't have a normal heart."
"What, how is that possible?"
"As I said, I don't know. She has one big heart like a normal human, but connected to that heart are smaller hearts that also beat, making it so I can't sense just one shifting."
Both of them stopped speaking when the device was booted up, opening the connection function to make a report about the case.
On the other side of the screen came a voice, a rough and somewhat aged voice, very clearly coming from someone of age.
"What do you have to report?"
They got much more serious when the voice came through the device— how could they not when he was their boss?
"Sir, we have confirmed that she is a mutant and that this case may be related to the recent mutant kidnappings that have been happening. However, she doesn't seem to know much since she can't remember anything."
Reported Miguel to the man— pausing so that the man could give his next order and their course of action.
"If she is a mutant then bring her to our New York HQ and settle her down with a new identity. As you know, keep this matter under wraps."
Spoke the voice before the call ended and the device closed off— leaving the two agents with a new task to complete.

Chapter 20: Chapter 20 - Mass Eating
After the FBI Agents finished speaking with their superior they now had to come up with an excuse to move the girl to their HQ in New York— with the most suitable excuse being witness protection.
The paperwork for this would be worked out by the people in the office, and all they had to do was speak to the sheriff and the girl to get her to move.
So the first step was the sheriff.
On the other hand, Liliana decided to get up from the bed and stretch her body a little— even though she didn't need to actually do such things.
She had been laying for such a long time that she no longer cared to rest— she wanted to act. But with the heat being rather high right now she wasn't quite sure if she should.
On one hand, she wanted to quickly return to the forest and eat all the things that were collected by her hive, while on the other hand, she didn't want them to notice her missing.
She had to eat the food herself— that is if she wanted to properly gain DNA.
As of currently while her hive could eat things for her— and she would benefit from it— they couldn't properly digest all the DNA which caused a certain loss between her and them.
This loss was ignorable on bigger creatures that she had a lot of— like a human— but it wasn't when the creature was smaller like insects or even plantation.
She had to eat it herself to properly gain the DNA, or she had to have her hive eat large quantities— which would be hard to collect and take time.
She hummed to herself as she tried to come up with a plan— or decide if she should go or not. That's when an idea came to mind.
Rather than going all the way to the forest to eat the things— she could order some of her workers to bring the material to a location outside of the town— that is much closer to her and much easier to eat.
This lowered the risk of being caught missing while also giving her the DNA she wanted. So with that in mind she ordered the hive to do just that.
This wasn't a fast process, but with all the units she had it wasn't very long either— taking at most an hour to bring all.
During this hour the Agents were talking to the sheriff and their personnel at the HQ— however, that was no concern to her as she wasn't fully aware of their conversations.
She did know however that they were planning something from how much they moved around— and the places they went.
Around an hour later she slipped out from the hospital through an empty back door and hallway— being able to get out relatively unnoticed thanks to her shifting form and lack of people in the area.
Sneaking underground through a hole she had her workers made in an alleyway— she joined up with the tunnel system she had made and walked to the food.
As for the hospital— she left a few of her hunters there in order to notify her if anyone was coming so that she could sneak back quickly.
It didn't take long before she was before a mound of dead insects, small animals, and flora. So much lay before her that they created a pile that was somehow bigger than her body.
However the pile wasn't made up of one thing in particular but a mixture of other small animals, insects, and flora, the most abundant being insects.
Without a second more to waste she began to eat.
Rabbits, foxes, raccoons, squirrels, chipmunks, badgers, tortoises, turtles, salamanders, snakes, frogs, newts, skunks, ants, beetles, cicadas, aphids, cockroaches, and much more.
Those were just some of the creatures she had eaten and collected DNA for.
Sadly, the insects didn't provide her with a lot of mass or DNA, meaning she would need to eat a ton of them in order to fully develop their capabilities, but she did get a lot from what she had.
The animals, while small, still provided her with abilities as well.
Those weren't the only things she ate though, as she also ate a ton of Flora in order to build up her mass and see if she could get any information from them.
Alder, Cottonwood, Willow, Walnut, Maple, Ash, Box Elder, and even Cacti.
Just eating all of them took her around an hour, thankfully she was able to eat an endless amount without feeling full otherwise she wouldn't be able to do it so fast.
Once she was done, she couldn't help but sit back against the wall and relax for a second— after all she had just eaten more than two times her own weight in food.
She allowed her body to digest the information— feeling her mass building up within her and her body evolving due to the new information she had stored.
She was growing— stronger— better.
She was becoming what she was always meant to be— superior.
