CHAPTER 1
Eldilin crouched grumpily in the back corner of her dog crate, acting much younger than the 13 year old she was, while her younger, 11 year old sister, Rachel, looked up at her, concerned. Rachel had always looked up to her big sister, but the school had changed a lot of things over the years. Eldilin's strong attitude had almost faded into nothing, and Rachel's hope of being exactly like Eldilin, had vanished.
"Eldilin?" Rachel's soft voice cracked as she spoke. "Is it time? Can we go now?"
Eldilin stopped sulking to look into Rachel's eyes. "Yes," she said, suddenly determined once more. She shifted her weight, so she was prepared to spring. A White-Coat came to her crate, ready to take her to the testing room. He unlocked the door, and then was tackled by a half-morphed Eldilin at top speed.
Instantly White-Coats streamed in. Eldilin franticly worked at the lock on Rachel's crate. "Quick, Ray!" she yelled, yanking her out. "I told you it's time!" A warm feeling lit up inside her as Ray smiled wider than was thought possible.
The two girls ran as fast as they could through the corridors of the school. "Eli?" began Ray, but a small smile from her said 'yes', and Eli felt Ray's hand transform from silky-smooth skin to the course, rough paw of a leopard. She too began changing, but her morph was a tiger.
From that point on, all they could make out was the screaming of White-Coats who got in their way, and the cheering of the poor creations, stuck in their cages, the two girls unable to stop and help them. Eli new she would blow her top as soon as they found a quiet place to rest, of course they'd have to lose the White-Coats first.
It seemed like eternity before they finally managed to get away. (I'd tell you more on how they had gotten out, but if they are unsure on how, then I guess I can't really tell you, can I?)
A couple of hours later, after attempting to get some rest, the two girls managed to find a street. They had absolutely nothing better to do, so they decided to follow it. As they walked along, Eli spotted a tall, bright young man, perhaps at the age of 14 or something, walking out of a small corner store with some bread and milk.
"What's up, Eli?" asked Ray.
"N-nothing sweetie," answered Eli.
Ray looked in the general direction of the boy. She smiled at her sister. "No!" said Eli, reading Ray's mind before she could express it out loud. Too late.
"Eli and Mr. Hot, sitting in a tree! K.I.S.S.I.N.G!"
"Shut up, Ray! He could hear you!" she hissed.
"Too late." The two girls spun around to see the teenager hovering over them. Eli quivered, not sure how he got over to them so fast. "I'm Iggy. What's your name?" he asked.
"Eldilin, and this is my sister Rachel." Eli noticed that he wasn't looking them over. In fact, his eyes weren't moving at all. "Umm? Are you alright?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, you know, you're not exactly… How do I put it?"
"Right. I've heard this too many times to not realise what you mean. I'm blind."
Eli felt really bad. "Sorry," she apologised.
"Meh. You can't do much 'bout it," he said.
"So, do you live around here?" asked Rachel, getting onto a more important topic.
"Yeah. You?"
"Not exactly," said Ray.
"Are you on holidays here?"
"No, well… no."
Iggy was puzzled. "Then what?"
"Well…" Eli refused to let the truth slip that easy. Iggy sort of perked a bit.
"Are you one of us? Or a spy? Or something?" Eli and Ray weren't sure what he meant by that. "Follow me." Noticing them hesitate, he said, "You can trust me. I promise." For some reason that was enough for Eli, and she went with no hassle.
