Author's Notes:

Cayt: It was a lot of fun -- though difficult -- to get the look we wanted out of these pages. I'm pretty proud of them.

Ari: The writing of this scene (as well as the masterful art by Caytlin) was partially inspired by the stories children who were in extremely traumatic experiences tell when they grow up; so much of it is impressions, noises, smells, certain faces, blurs with moments of clarity.

Transcript

Page 475

PIPER: Okay, ha-ha, very funny.
PIPER: Give it back. You have to tell the truth when you have the stick.
KIRA: I am. I been to Abroad.

PIPER: Puh-lease. You think we wouldn't be able to tell if you'd been there?
PIPER: And anyway, my mum said they didn't ever banish any kits from Treehollow. You're just having us on.

KIRA: I have the stick.
KIRA: And I weren't from Treehollow, was I.
PIPER: Then where were you from?

I dunno. But it weren't here.

Page 476

KIRA: I dunno why we got banished, so don't even ask.

KIRA: I was really little. Littler than Parker.
KIRA: We got there on this smelly boat.

KIRA: There were so many creatures packed in, you couldn't hardly breathe.

KIRA: We got to this big gate and they asked Ma and Da a bunch of boring questions, I think.

KIRA: They shined a bright light at me. I never saw a light like that before.

PIPER: What did it look like inside?!
KIRA: I dunno. Big.
KIRA: Or maybe it's 'cause I was really little.

Page 477

KIRA: I remember they only gave us one bunk.
KIRA: Ma and Dad was called in later.
KIRA: The nice lady from the next bunk looked after me.

[SFX: EE EE EE]
KIRA: Then there was this horrible noise that wouldn't stop.
KIRA: Felt like it was stabbin' inside my ears.
KIRA: Everyone was screamin'...

KIRA: Da got me and told me not to be scared.
KIRA: He said close your eyes and don't look.

KIRA: We ran away.
KIRA: There was shouting and scary noises.
KIRA: I didn't look.

KIRA: ...but...something was wrong.

Page 478

KIRA: Da was rowin' the boat, so he gave me to Ma...

KIRA: But I hated it.

KIRA: I dunno if it was her or me or what, but...
KIRA: She didn't feel like Ma no more.

KIRA: When we got on land, I ran away from Ma.
KIRA: And she chased after me, and Da chased after her.

Page 479

KIRA: Then she got me.
KIRA: I kicked her and I screamed at her and I scratched at her.
KIRA: But she kept holding me anyway.

KIRA: She kissed me and she told me she loved me.
KIRA: ... Mama put me in the bushes and told me to hide.
KIRA: It was scratchy. Smelled like... perfume.

MAMA: Don't make a sound, darling.
MAMA: We'll take care of them, and then we'll be back for you.

KIRA: There was new voices I didn't know.
OFF-SCREEN: There's nowhere to run!
OFF-SCREEN: You're surrounded! It's over!

KIRA: There was a fight...
[SFX: thud thmp]
OFF-SCREEN: Don't move!
[SFX: GRRGH]
OFF-SCREEN: Fuck!
[SFX: FWEEE]
KIRA: ...weird noises...

KIRA: I looked.
