The Noah Corp. leading company in advanced medical technology and medical advancements. 10 years ago they introduced an injection called the "Tease," it prolonged one's life and cured humanity of any diseases. It was only available for those that had money or where directly involved with the company, but then the masses started to complain, they wanted it too, it was not fair for only a selected amount of people to get the "Tease" when many people were dying of cancer and AIDs. The "Tease" would put an end to those problems. The "Equal Medical Advancement" was passed or EMA, a law that forced the Noah Corp. to distribute the injection at a reasonable amount for everyone.

It was then that everyone eager for a prolonged life and a life free of disease got the injections like you do for a flu shot. Soon the whole world had gotten the injection. Getting the "tease" was the norm; moms had babies get them when they were born, to prevent them from dying of the diseases that this world presented.

Not everything was as it seemed, six years ago people started dying, no one knew why and everyone decided that it must have been the injections wearing off so they went and got more. That however did not help; more people started dying, children cried in the streets for their parents who had suddenly died. There was mass chaos, people started to blame the Noah Corp. but the Noah Corp. was abandoned, they had vanished and with their leave millions of people died.

The deaths were not normal, people just crumbled like dirt or burst into ashes. It has been 5 years since the first person died because of the "Tease" and now the world is empty, the land is deserted and only animals roam free. Everyone is dead and no one has survived. That is if you weren't with the Noah, they have survived in a remote island not far from the United States.

My earliest memories were of my father Mana, he picked me off the streets and gave me food and shelter. He gave me my name: Allen. I was only eight when people first started to die; my dad Mana had dropped his plate when he first heard of the deaths. His eyes were wild and he ran to the nearest phone in a dash. I don't remember exactly what he said to uncle Neah but the next day he came and picked me up, Mana told me he'd see me in a few days and to trust Neah. I never saw Mana again.

Neah took me on a boat ride and dropped me off with some of his "friends," it was there that I met the Earl, a chubby man with the creepiest smile and ever changing hats. It was also there that I met the "Noah's" a weird family with crosses engraved on their foreheads, I never felt safe with them. I was taken to a house further in the island. It was big, there were many flowers surrounding the house, when we got closer I noticed it was three stories high, with bright white panels. It blinded me for a second and I rubbed my eyes, but when my eyes adjusted I gasped. I was in awe, the house was huge! It was a mansion. Gone was the pretty scenery and in its place was a 5 story mansion, the windows were all dark and the house beckoned me forward, to step inside and discover its secrets.

"Where's Mana?"

I asked and they just laughed at me and told me to settle in. Some part of me understood then that somehow Mana was to be forgotten and not to be brought up again. They took my blood every month and trained me, there were obstacle courses and countless tutors. I was brought up to be a respectable man, with a fine etiquette and more class then the kings of ancient time. I was expected to me happy, but I never was. I constantly missed Mana.

One day a man came, with red hair and a white mask that covered half of his face. He was to train me in the art of guns, he never praised me like the Earl did, and never once did he call me the "14th" like my new family did, he called me "Allen," a name that I had almost forgotten but the once I cherish the most, it was what Mana called me when I was a little kid. Cross was a total ass but he was the most human of any of my trainers, he showed emotion and expressed them, especially when he was mad.

I was 16 when I first started to hear the screaming late at night, almost 17 when the Earl called me into his office to inform me that cross would no longer be my teacher, I was done with guns it was now time to wield the power of the mind.

That night they led me down to the basement, Rohde chanted and an elevator appeared out of thin air, they shoved me inside and bound my wrists. Down and down I went. I would not see the sun for 3 months.

"Jesus Christ"

"Shut up and go after him!"

"It's too late. He made it past the guards!"

"Tiky shut up, I'll go get him."

Lulu Bell ran past the wounded men, not caring if she stepped on their pathetic bodies, they were mindless puppets. She could see a speck of white hair in the distance, who ever thought to train him in track and field was a complete and utter fool.

She knew the chase would soon be over, he had received a wound on his thigh from the twins bullet and would soon have to slow down. She could make out the edge of a cliff further ahead, the sound of the waves harsh to her sensitive ears, she could almost taste the slat in the air. If he made it to the ocean all of their efforts would be done for, she would not let him escape.

It was now or never, her bones changed, she felt herself change, her body morphed in mid run and her paws hit the ground in a graceful second. She could feel the pleasure of the hunt, the adrenaline rushing through her system. She pushed herself, her muscles straining with her effort to run faster.

She gained up to the 14th in no time, she could smell his fear. The poor thing, so close but yet so far from safety. She pounced on him, digging her claws in his shoulder and drawing out blood, he gave an agonizing scream. With her sudden weight he tripped on his own two feet, out of balance they went sprawling down on the grass. She pinned him underneath and bared her teeth in a warning. The 14th smirked up at her and she went flying. Digging her claws in the soft earth she gave a growl and glared at the 14th. Everything was quiet except the slap of the waves on the cliff. He gave her a smile and jumped off the cliff.

"That son of a bitch."

Just the beginning! Will Kanda make his appearance next chapter? I don't know :D Tell me what you think, is it worth continuing?
