"I believe I said enough," she spoke with a firm authoritative voice. The queen bee breaths a puff of air in Jesse's face that was laced with pheromones. She uses this with her bees to calm them. It much more humane than using smoke like humans. It was very powerful and worked on all species. Including humans. "Now drop the metal in your hands and release me."

The lamia places her human friend down, who starts to wake up, and places the tip of Anika's spear to Jesse's back.
"My queen has given you an order," Kalia says.
Meanwhile Anika finally wakes up and rubs the side of her head.

"Stop... Stop putting things in my head!" His grip on the scalpel loosened, but he didn't drop it just yet. His hand was shaking a bit. Something was washing away his fear and replacing it with an unnatural calm. He wanted to obey, but he struggled against that desire.

Polleana breaths another puff of pheromones to his face. At the same time she frees one hand so she could grab his wrist. With his grip loose, she works to get him to drop the metal object. "Drop it," she said still with a firm tone.

The weapon slipped out of his grasp, and with it his hope. He tried to struggle anyway, but his movements were slowing. His body felt like it was made of lead. If only he had that scythe. Well, if only his guide had any guts. He'd left him here knowing what was lurking around the gate! And Alice... What would she do if he couldn't get her what she needed? Would he disappear without even saying goodbye?
He reached into his inner vest pockets again. Epinephrine. If he could keep a steady enough grip to give himself an injection, the adrenaline boost would change things. But his hands were so shaky, curse them! He had one shot-literally-and his body was shutting down all around him.

Before the man could try anything, Kalia moved her spear away but wrapped her tail around Jesse's body. Her burgundy and green tail started at the waist and then it traveled up to his shoulders.
Meanwhile, Anika shakily got up on her feet and grabbed her spear from the lamia. The woman knelt before Polleana. "Forgive me, my queen. I should have stopped him sooner."

"Anika, you fought till you couldn't stand. You have not let me down. I'm more relieved that your alive." The queen places a hand under the human's chin showing a face of gratitude. Polleana then turns to the lamia and captured human. Kalia, take this human to the sealing combs, then have your wounds looked after. I will take Anika first to be cared for. Once you are both healed, we can deal with this, intruder." Polleana lifts one of Anika's under over her shoulder and works to carry more of her weight while leading her into the hive.

"Thank you, my queen," Anika said as Polleana helped her up.
"I'm on it," Kalia said saluting. But before she leaves, the lamia leans in closer to Anika. "Take care sweetie," she whispers and gives her a kiss on the cheek. Kalia slithers away with the intruder in her coils to the sealing combs.

At this point he could scarcely even struggle. What was going on!? Why were there such strange creatures all gathered here? His guide warned him, but he was vague. If he knew about all this then he should have made it clearer! Jesse sighed. No, there was no point blaming him now. Nothing would have stopped him from trying to get that honey for Alice. He tried to think of a plan. There had to be a way out of this...

Polleana takes her injured warrior to the room they use for treating the injured and sick. But most times they were all strong and healthy so they had no need. Pelleana sets Anika on a bed to sit. She then walks over to where a jar of healing salve was kept. It was made with herbs and flowers grown on the grounds of the hive. It was used for healing bruising as well as stop bleeding wounds. "Let's see your injuries."
At the dungeon, moreso called the sealing combs a new prisoner was being placed in. The cells were just like a bees honey comb when they are eggs. The prisoner is placed inside that will keep them from moving around to cause trouble. Not great if one is claustrophobic. The opening is then sealed with bee's wax that was super strong and hard to break open.

Anika sat on the side of the bed and takes off her brown jacket. The three cuts on her left shoulder now more visible. They were not deep enough to be serious but the blood had now dried into brown clots. The warrior rubbed her eyes and yawns.
"He struck my head with his scythe, I'm guessing the back end and that's when I lost consciousness." The warrior said.
Meanwhile, Kalia slips the prisoner into the sealing and took his scythe from him. The wax fell over. "Your in for a rough time ssssweetie. But then that's what you get for hurting My Friend," she hissed before leaving with the scythe.
