This takes place right after SOF. MR will come in the next chapter, this is just an introduction to other characters.
Hey, Kit-Kat? You awake yet? A voice. Brittney's voice. I sat up quickly then BANG!
"GAH!…..ow," I whimpered after banging my head on the top of my crate. Brittney's giggles filled my head. What was that for? I asked her.
What? She asked innocently. You know what. I said then turned over trying to fall back to sleep.
Ok, just to clear a few things up, I'm Kathleen, but Brittney calls me Kit-Kat. My best (and only) friend is Brittney. We have known each other forever, but not exactly by choice. We aren't like normal people. Brittney and I live in dog crates at horribly sick place called the School. The School is where these scientists do all kinds of experiments on innocent people and animals. Brittney and I are two of those "innocent people".
Our whole 14 year long lives we've lived in dog crates, so you can probably guess we don't get out much.
I know you aren't really mad Kit-Kat. Brittney said. Somehow Brittney and I developed a special ability to be able to talk to each other through our minds. We don't know how or why, but it only works on each other. No, I'm not mad, but I do have a headache now. I told her.
Then the door opened to the room we were put in. A man that we had never seen before walked in. Oooh, a new scary scientist man! I thought to Brittney. Her giggles sounded in my head. Never seen this one before. Hmmm, wonder what he's here for. Oh, do you think that if he's new we can scare him away like hat other guy? she asked me. Let's see if he says anything. I told her.
"Hello, I'm Jeb Batchelder," the scientist guy said. I eyed him warily. "You both must be the experiments that have caused all the talk."
We didn't say anything. Silence is how we survived here all these years. If you are quiet, you don't get noticed as much. Should we say something? Brittney asked. The scientists had no idea about Brittney and I's "connection" we had.
"Ok, I need to talk to the two of you in my office," he said. He let us out or our cages and led us to the hallways and then into another room. Let's just see what he wants. I told Brittney.
The room was very plain with a large desk in the middle. On one side of the desk there was a large office chair, which the Jeb guy sat down in. He motioned for us to sit in the two chairs on the other side of the desk. We stiffly sat down.
He then pulled to folders out of his desk.
"I must say, you two have very impressive files. Definitely stuff we could work with," he told us.
Brittney and I are two successful experiments. We are different from any of the others that the School created. Brittney and I were only part human.
Brittney was 95% human 5% wolf, but in a different way from the Erasers. Brittney wasn't vicious in any way. She had much less wolf in her than the Erasers, and she didn't have the desire to kill. All of her senses were enhanced, she was super fast and strong with amazing reflexes.
I was 95% human 5% tiger. I also had enhanced sense, super fast and strong, then cat reflexes. I also had claws. When I wanted to my fingernails could grow to four inches long and extremely sharp.
I didn't know what he meant by "work with" though.
"We have a job for the two of you," Jeb told us. "You both have probably heard about the six escaped experiments. Maximum Ride and her flock. Well, we want you two to find them, gain their trust, and then lead them back to the school."
