"Hello..." said an ominous seductive voice �I guess you�re my little snack...�
 
 "Who's there?" Linda asked as fear crept into her mind.
 
 "You speak." The voice said. "They have never given me food that speaks before. It usually those weak human like beings wrapped in white, but they never speak to me, they don't even struggle. But you, human. Why would they give you to me?"
 
 The girl was dumbfounded "I... I don't know. I don't know why I'm here! I don't know were here is! I want Sheila! I want my whale!" She broke down crying.
 
 "Oh, dear." said the voice. "I'm sorry, don't cry. I just can't stand it when my food cries." With that the being stepped closer the small girl and crouched down to gently pat the girl. After a few pats the monster gingerly picked Linda up and set the girl in her other hand.
 
 Now Linda could see that the monster was largely human shaped, however that�s were the resemblance ended. Linda looked into the face of a blue dragon. Seeing that the girl had now stopped crying, the dragon spoke "Do you have a name, little one?"
 
 Linda barely breathed as she spoke. "L-Linda."
 
 "That�s a nice name." The dragon said with a smile. "I'm called River."
 
 "It's nice to meet you, River."
 
 "Oh! You�re so kind! It's nice to meet you too." said River, nuzzling the small girl. "I must say I rather curios about the whale you mentioned. Tell me about it"
 
 "Um... Ok. Well her name is Sheila." With that Linda launched into her tale about her time with Sheila. At the end of the story Linda broke down into tears again "I never even got to forgive her..."
 
 "That quite a tale, Linda." River said finally.
 
 Linda looked up into River's eyes. "Are you still going to eat me?"
 
 "Of course not little one." she leaned closer to the girl and spoke in a whisper. "However I believe the humans that run this place, monitor this room. If they think I'm not going to eat you they may take you to another monster that�s not as kind as I am." With that River lifted the girl above her head and dangled Linda above her open maw, as a show for any that might be watching.
 
 "But you said-" Linda was cut off as she was dropped into the dragon's waiting mouth.
 
 
 
 
 
 As soon as Sheila had control of her body again she started to dry heave, attempting to lean forward as much as the bindings on her arms would allow her.
 
 "Oh I wouldn't do that. If you do manage to regurgitate them, that fall could possibly kill them both." said Mr. Smith. "Even if it doesn�t kill them, my... minions will."
 
 Sheila stopped trying to heave. "If they stay where they are, they WILL die."
 
 "Well that�s entirely up to you, now isn't it? During your experiment you displayed the ability to control your digestive system. I wonder how long you could restrain yourself...�
 
 He was right; however Sheila had no idea how to do that with this body. She closed her eyes, concentrating on her body. She focused on the struggling within her belly, trying to ignore the pleasure emanating from the movements. However she couldn't find anything to control other than the ring of muscle that leads down to her second stomach. Could it be? She checked again. It was! Her first stomach couldn't excrete acids! Jeremy and Kevin were safe!
 
 Sheila of course didn't want to give John any indicators of her discovery, so she simply hung her head with a look of despair. After an hour of boredom, John Smith left the room. However he left the Zomb-Jobs in the room to keep an eye on his former wife. Water resumed to spraying Sheila.
 
 
 
 Within the monster's depths Jeremy started kicking and punching at the walls as soon as he was deposited into the stomach. He couldn't believe it! After 10 years of loyal service, Mr. Smith simply disposed of him like yesterday�s news. His brother's cries had been reduced to quiet sobbing. After about 30 minutes Jeremy wore himself out. He took a few moments to take in his surroundings. The stomach was larger than he would have thought about the side of a small bedroom with the ceiling at about seven feet. In the middle of the floor was a closed sphincter. There was some ambient red glow from the light outside the monster. However something didn't seem right. After a few moments he walked over and sat down next to his brother who had curled into the fetal position. That�s when it hit him. There was no acid, or liquid of any kind with the exception of the walls which were coated in what he assumed was saliva.
 
 "Jeremy..." His brother finally spoke. "Are we going to die in here?"
 
 Jeremy gave the only answer he had "I don't know Kevin. I don't know."
 
 
 
 
 
 Linda was a bit surprised at River's actions; however the dragon had made no move to swallow the girl. Linda found River's mouth to be about the same size as Sheila's, except it was much narrower. After a few moments the dragon lay down and feigned sleep. After an unknown amount of time Linda fell asleep. River smiled as she felt the rhythmic breathing that indicated the girl was now sleeping. After a few hours the already dim lights went out in the room and a door opened.
 
 A woman in her twenties walked in; unlike the others she wore a white button up shirt with a short white skirt. "Hello River."
