(Really, Illy? Could write out "five times"? xP )
"It's called a 'species,' sweetheart. Maybe you should man up and accept it. And yours too, for that matter. All you're doing is prolonging the inevitable. The human has a weak nature. I'll be back." the kelpie hissed out, its voice fading until it could speak no more and Rebekah's body collapsed, her eyes rolling back into her head.

"i will prolong it indifinitly." Claw growled, pulling his own claws out of her skin and picking her up delicatly. "let's get her to the transition room." he said to Spectra.

Rebekah's body shuddered, the kelpie still fighting despite its lack of power. However, it now seemed that Rebekah was fighting back too. She began to cough again, the coughs sounding more and more throaty as time went on. Eventually, gasps would laden the time between each cough. Then she began to spit up water. "Can't breathe..." she murmured, barely aware of anything except for the feeling of drowning and asphyxiation. She opened her eyes, finding black spots to begin to dot her vision. She was losing consciousness and consequently, control. Her hand gripped Claw's arm, trying to find something solid to hold on to just to keep her mind in the conscious realm. Then there was a pause in the kelpie's assail on her body and the control thereof. She took several deep breaths, still feeling like she was drowning, but the increasing strength of the force doing so had left. However, this peace did not last long. The kelpie came back with a swift blow. There was a loud 'crack' and Rebekah's knee suddenly jerked violently to the right, broken. The kelpie had initiated a transformation but did not go through with it, resulting in the broken limb hanging limply down and Rebekah to scream in pain.

"i'll get Berry and Ember. and the others. i'll meet you in the transition room." Spectra said, and started to fly through the walls. she bumped into Ember. "comeoncomeoncomeon! Becky is getting shoved into her transition and the kelpie is trying to get control." she said, and flew through the next few walls, trying to find the healer, Berry.
Claw was running at a lightning speed to the transition room. she gently laid Becky's body onto the stone table, and strapped her arms and legs down to it. he stroked her cheek, looking at her and keeping her magic in check. "don't worry. it's almost over. when you wake up, everything will be different." he said, and one of the transitioners entered the room, put their hands to Becky's temples, and made her pass out.
[chey, take on another character. i can only play so many. xP]

(Lazy bum. Do I have to do everything? xP jk The Berry person and healers then?)
Rebekah looked up at Claw, barely conscious as her eyes found difficulty in focusing on his face. His words came into her eyes scrambled and hard to decipher, though once she came to understanding, she still had a difficult time believing such. Especially with her leg. It hurt so much. But the pain was not foreign to her. It was way too familiar. She screamed again as she felt the limb being locked down, the pain exploding in her mind. But none of that mattered as she felt the other set of hands on her. Then everything began to get distant. It felt as if she was watching the world fade out of view. The feel reminded her all too much of losing control and she fought against it, however useless the actions were. In the end, the dark void of unconsciousness won and everything went black. The transitioner looked up at claw, mutated slit eyes searching the boy's own. "How long did you drain her for?" he asked. "And how long has it been since her transition started before any of you found her?"
Meanwhile, Berry was making her way down a corridor, looking over several documents and in the company of several faeries, floating about and carrying massive amounts of boxes full of important items, all looking overladen and overworked.

"about five minutes. i was there when she started her transition. and how long i drained her isn't relevant." Claw said, keeping an eye on her as he sat down in the corner. Spectra burst into the room, taking in a deep breath as she appeared from a sporadic puff of smoke. "how is she?" Spectra asked, floating above her so to be out of her way.
[whoever you want. i just happened to have those character if you wanted to play them. its up to you. and you can change Berry's name. push it off on a stupid nickname or something.]

"It is relevant, depending on how hard her kelpie side is fighting." the transitioner stated dryly. "Which is hard enough to make the fact relevant." he ground his teeth and looked as Berry began to examine Rebekah. There was a low whistle on her part as she noticed the protruding ribcage and the severely malnourished appearance of the kelpie girl. She looked up Claw and Spectra. "You bring me a crazy one." she stated with a bit of worry and a bit of dry amusement. She walked over to where a few concoctions sat on a group of shelves to her right, running her fingers over the bottles and picking up one. She took out the cork, pulling open Rebekah's mouth and forcing her to swallow. She put the bottle aside and looked back up at Spectra. Her voice had lost its amusement now and was grim. "Just by her body, I can tell that she has been fighting for a while. Given that you drained her, and the kelpie was still able to do this," she pointed to the broken leg. "I can assume for several years." She pursed her lips. "I have to break down the kelpie and your friend. It's going to hurt. If she lives, she'll be lucky...You probably should not be here for that." she informed.

"Berry, you should know by now. they're always crazy." Claw jested grimly. "i'm here to help." Spectra stated. "if she dies than she can be like me. i'll just yank her from her body before her spirit leaves this realm. if she wants to leave it, then i'll let her go. if not, she can stay with me." she said. Claw growled slightly. "it won't come to that." he snarled. "start the transition. i haven't been draining her long enough to have done any effect. only keeping the kelpie in check." Spectra stood in a corner, puffing in and out of a solid form in worry.

Berry nodded grimly, still not thinking their presence was a good idea, but having to admit that Claw could come in handy, as could Spectra. She began to work her magic. Rebekah seemed content at first in her unconscious state. However, within a few minutes, that quickly changed. At first, it was merely a pained expression and a few groans. However, it soon elevated to screaming and wild thrashing. This jerked her leg and in turn caused more screaming. After about fifteen minutes of this had passed, Berry began to bite her lip and a faint bit of sweat began to show on her brow. This was taking even longer and was more challenging than expected. Forty-five minutes later, the screaming had stopped, if only do to the rawness of Rebekah's vocal cords by this point and her inability to make much noise, though it was clear she was still trying. Tears were streaming out of her eyes and her lips were moving to form silent, unreadable words and pleadings. The motions of these increased all of a sudden and her confined movements became more sporadic and insistent. Her clothes and hair stuck to her body with perspiration. All of a sudden, Berry and the transitioners noticed that Rebekah's sweat had become red, like blood. At this, Berry stopped for several moments, wiping the own sweat from her forehead. "Hematidrosis." she stated. "It won't kill her. But it will make the rest of this more painful. Though I think I've broken her stubbornness down enough to reach the kelpie so this will be remotely effective." she informed him, taking a drink before going back to work.

Claw himself was exhausted. "you're telling me. i'm trying to keep that kelpie under control and it isn't exactly working out that well." he said through gritted teeth. "she's a stubborn one." "can i do anything to help? will cold help the room? i can do cold." Spectra asked, focusing on keeping her solid form long enough to ask the question before poofing back into a wispy smokey mist.

Berry nodded her head. "Cold will be sensitive on her skin, but it might help with her blood pressure, which could reduce her sweating and dehydration or blood loss in the long run. Just keep the humidity away, if you can." She smiled at Spectra. She turned to Claw. "Take a break, honey." she told him. "I can handle the kelpie and need to break it completely. Also, it might shut the human part of her up." she said with unconcealed aggravation. Unconscious or not, Rebekah was fighting against the transformation still, and it was not helping it along in the slightest. Despite her starving appearance, her mental strength was up to par with the woman's own.

a chill settled in the room as Spectra appeared in her solid form, standing just above the ground, her hair and clothes fluttering softly as if a breeze flowed through the room. Claw stroked Becky's cheek. "just give in." he whispered in her ear softly., using the magic to invade the human part of her mind and let the charisma settle around her, making it seem inviting. "the pain will leave if you just give in."

Rebekah was vaguely aware of Claw's voice and his words to her. For some reason, they seemed so inviting and tempting. But still, she couldn't. She could feel the kelpie. It was laughing at her and biting and scratching at her. Telling her that she would easily take over. Taunting her and telling her to go ahead and give in for its own sake. A deep shudder ran through her body. She could not give in.
Berry looked up at Claw with a strange and elated look on her face. "She thinks I'm the kelpie. She can't tell the difference." she said, her words fast and full of thought. For another moment she was silent. "Fire. She has burn marks from where she's burned herself, I'm assuming to keep the kelpie back. Could you relax her with the illusion of fire?" she asked Claw. Then, she turned to Spectra. "Keep the room cold though, we can't overload her nervous system right now."

"no problem." Claw said. he projected a thought into her mind, Claw with fire floating in the palm of his hand, the other hand outstretched, inviting. "give in to me. i can make the pain go away. come on, Becky. give in to me. i hold the key." he whispered into her ear, pushing the charisma and soft, warm thoughts.

"Thank you." Berry grinned. A few moments later, she felt Rebekah's fighting fade into a calmness. Her grin grew broader as she began to use all of her concentration on the kelpie. The kelpie found itself exposed and now on the defensive. It began fighting harder than before and Rebekah's body began to convulse and shudder. Her limbs twisted on their own and bones began to break, reform, and break again. She coughed up blood and water. All the while, Rebekah herself was seemingly unconscious. It was rather disturbing. However, in the end, Berry won out. It had taken close to two hours by this point, but with a single, final scream, everything was suddenly silent on part of Rebekah except for soft breathing. Berry blinked and looked up with a nod. She wiped some sweat off of her forehead, looking exhausted. "She is under control now. She'll just need another healer in here to finish some things up." she assured. She could not help but look down at the girl and shake her head in amazement. She was astounded that she had lived, and even more at her stubbornness and determination. It was a level that she had barely seen in those transforming, let alone from someone turning into a kelpie. Those were usually quickly defeated by their monster side. This was odd on several levels.
