May seemed to calm down at that and trembled a little less. She shook her head to his question. She was not crying as she was on e the table, her tears dry when any normal child would still be crying, though her whimpers of fear where in no short supply. "I cant sleep...Not...not allowed to anymore." She explained in her broken English. "The man with silver said I get whipped if I go to sleep now...because they dont want me to change. Changing is bad, you loose toes if you change." She looked down at her feet as she spoke and wiggled her nine remaining toes, her small toe on her left foot missing. The girl was suffering from extreme sleep deprivation, and mental strain as well as depression.
The small were made no attempt to seek comfort with Blue as he rubbed her back, though it did calm her down a bit. "He doesnt let us howl any more...we are not allowed to pray to mother moon. He makes us sit all day and night and if we run around its a whipping cause we have to be soft for dinner." She whimpered a little more and bit her fingers, fingers that were, aside from the whippings, filled with bite mark scars that had healed over due to her were abilities. She was in horrible need of sleep and comfort, if worse came to worse Blue may need to knock her out.

The girl looked up at Lulu and stopped to think for a little while before responding "May...My name is May." IT was common practice in the Kitchen to make the food, particularly children, remember their "Due" month, the month they are to be eaten. With Adults it is simply tattooed into them somewhere, like cattle while children are made to respond to their month as if by name. Since this was the month of May, her name was May, because she would be eaten during May. the same was true for every other child, male or female, were or human, that was to be eaten in May.
"Bury him...please..." She pleaded softly after looking at the body. "He was nice to me." She whispered, remembering his kindness while they were kept in the pens. Since children were not normally sexually active, there was no need to keep them separate and cause more fuss in the Kitchen. Angela looked saddened. 'It may have been better if she had died like the boy, painlessly and mercifully. Now she is a vampire and a slave....I can hardly imagine what Lulu will make her do.'
