Eek growled and lashed at the cage, his claws leaving small marks in the bars. He did not seem to be doing well.
Nipaa still slept but her eyes had changed like Eek's had, except her wide glowing pupils were aqua.
A vent opened and a shadow passed over Eek's cage. With a quiet laugh, a finger opened the cage and grabbed Eek. As the shadow passed Nipaa's cage, a mumble said, "Weak...." then the vent closed and it locked and Eek was gone.
