Chapter 1: I'm so tired of being here...

Insanity is just a word...

I shook my head many times. I'm not crazy! I'm not Insane! I'm just a test subject for their sick game! I growled at myself to calm down, this was my chance to get out. I glanced over at the pen next to my caretaker, a man who I seriously disliked. Always questioning me, what i'm feeling, how the effects are working and I never answer. So he just taunts me, for god sakes I hated me so much, just as much as Tanner, he was not on my list. Though that was the least of my worries.

"Miss Vega, you underestimate your way of life, you have to expect who you are* The Caretaker spook, as if he was speaking to someone he hated, I had enough. I rushed to the pen and pounced at him crouched like predator for her next kill "I will never expect what you freaks did to me!"

I stabbed him...right in the eye. He yelled and screamed in agony as I stepped back, just watching.

"Time to go..."I muttered. and so I ran and ran to Julia, a girl who went through the same horrors I go through. The shock of her face, told me, she knew it was time.

I gasped to catch my breath as we continued running, Oh my god...

I continued looking in the shattered mirror that hung in the back of the truck, full length. I see a person of Fear, though of relief, and one who recovered her sanity. I had olive toned skin, with a small nose, and dove eyes that were an ivy green color, with hints of gold specks and amber. Along with my waist length brown black hair that was thick and had full curls along, though in the sunlight my hair was a bright amber brown that you noticed the black in it. And my freckles, my god they're the best of my appearance, light brown all over my cheeks and nose, my shoulders. I smiled at myself, I overcame the unbelievable these past four months, and now it was to begin a new in a safe haven.

San Francisco, California

I slipped into my black tank-top, and along with a cargo jacket, also with crisp blue jeans, and brown boots. Julia was still asleep, she had pale skin, the same color eyes as me, her hair was curled slightly, amber with blond. Julia went through more than what I went through in all honesty. Even though i'm a year younger than Julia, I vowed to protect her. We had a lot of things in common, that are bad.

Both of our families died from the Simian Flu. After some sort of...oh what would you call it...an rebellion, revolution. And to my surprise, it was of apes, led by some younger chimpanzee. Damn, glad I wasn't living in California at the time. It was actually hit the hardest with the Simian Flu.

I sighed, I have to protect my friend, even when we get to the safe haven. Since even your own species can turn at you...as I found out when I was 16. I closed the back doors and jumped into the Drivers seat, starting the ignition.

God I couldn't contain my excitement! We only had two more hours to get to the Safe Haven!

One hour Later~

I was in tuned to the sound of the truck, but as I feared.

"No no no!" I yelled, it was out of gas, and well it stopped working completely, I was for sure it would last two more hours till we get to the Safe Haven. Now we're stuck in the middle of some forest!

"Great..."I laid my head on the steering wheel "Just great..." Guess we have to go on foot. I shook Julia to wake up, her eyes fluttered open, as she yawned "We there yet?..." I chuckled nervously.

"Haha...Bad news! The truck, er, haha..." I turned to Julia giving me a strict look and I sighed "It doesn't work, I thought it would last two more hours!"

"Guess we have to go on foot then.. "Julia piped "No worries!" *Julia reached for her backpack, and shotgun, and jumped out of the truck, taking, and folding her blanket, and she cheerfully walked in front of the truck "Come on then! Let's stretch our legs, see the wonders of this god forsaken forest" I laughed at Julia, I was so glad to have a best friend like her. I got out with my machete strapped to the belt of my waist, with my backpack, and reaches for my deer skin bag of rope darts that I tied to my waist and got out my pistol and I beamed "Okay, lead the way Captain!" We both laughed, as we walked.

3 hours later~

We were lost...I figured we should reached the Golden Gate Bridge at least, or seeing the end of this forest, but I couldn't shake the feeling...that we were being followed. I stopped in my tracks, Julia did the same.

I turned around in anger, whoever was following us was doing it for awhile, and I gazed above the tree's and any bush. To the snap of a branch, I flinched, quickly reaching my rope dart from my bag and swung it in the direction of where I heard the sound. I pulled forcefully, I heard struggling and shrieks of plea, until what I saw made me drop the rope.

"Oh my god..."Julia muttered quietly. It was an Ape, Chimpanzee I guess, yes it was an Chimpanzee. Gripping on to what looked like a spear, and has the clearest pure blue eye's i've ever seen...

It was like being entranced. The Ape looked young, perhaps a teenager a little older maybe, and taller than myself. He looked, which to my surprise, he looked handsome, I know it's weird to say. I snapped out of my thoughts as I heard him growl in a threatening manner. This Ape did not look like an ordinary Ape, more intelligent, more-Ugh! I couldn't described it! Though I got into a stance to fight.

I'm not going to let this thing hurt my friend or my self. I quickly reached for my machete, till I felt a strong grip upon my wrist, in fear I was shaking like a leaf as I looked up. It was another Ape, looked similar to the blue eyed one, but older of course, with piercing green eyes that could described 'looks could kill'.

"L-Lena, don't try to do anything stupid..."Julia whispered. I nodded quick, I knew she wasn't one for violence, but in the situation, I had to listen. So I glared up at the older ape "Whoever you are...let my wrist go...and nothing will happen.."I growled, with my mutation that I had, I developed an overprotective temper. Though my fear took over me as I heard what happened next.

"NO!"

'Oh my god' I thought, it spoke, it freaking spoke! Julia and I froze, not moving, in shock. So I got up the nerves, as I shook my head, trying to adjust to what I had heard "L-Look, w-we don't want any trouble okay? My friend and I are trying to look for a Safe Haven, but...we're lost! I..I didn't mean to attack him! "I spoke flustered, pointing to the blue eyed ape "I didn't out of self defense! I'm so so sorry! My friend and I won't bother any of your kind a-as long as you l-let us g-go..."I felt his grip loosen, only slightly. Did I just talk sense into an animal?

"I, don't, trust..." He spoke slowly, I flinched at his voice though, scared the crap out of me and Julia "Look, I don't blame you for what I did, again I did it out of self defense, and...and fear..."I hated being afraid, being weak, I hated it when fear took over me. He let go of my wrist, I glanced at the blue eyed ape, who grunted in anger and growled, as he started...doing...sign language? Is that how they communicate? The older ape signed back at the younger one, I looked back and forth as the younger one look so frustrated, I couldn't help but laugh a little bit, it was cute how he kept on getting frustrated.

Though I looked around, it was almost nightfall, just great. I thought back to the truck we abandoned hours ago...we left our tents. I looked at the older ape "If...If you don't mind, can my friend and I stay in these woods, please? we're sorta lost, and got no tent actually for the night" He glanced at both Julia and I, he was thinking, I could tell.

"You, will, be, under watch, near, village..."He said, I saw the younger ape sign in anger again, I rolled my eyes, how mature. Though I guess being under watch by Apes isn't as bad as being locked up in a tiny room, in an Asylum. I spoke silently "Thank you.." Though I'm gonna keep my guard up, but then, I wasn't prepared for this statement.

The older Ape glanced at mine and Julia's weapons "No, Weapons.." Ugh! what? To me that was unfair, but I understood, I literally attacked one of his own with my rope dart. He reached for the guns, and my deer skin bag, I hesitantly gave him our weapons "This is so unfair..."I whispered, Though I felt Julia shove my shoulder "Lena, be grateful, at least he didn't kill us..." She had a point...I turned my attention back to the younger ape and got a better look, his fur was rough looking, and was a pure black with a tint of blue, he looked unique with his blue eyes I thought, then my attention turned to his arm.

It was a gashed wound, from my rope dart and he was brushing at it, irritated, he glared as I stared. I looked down, I need to make it up to him and apologize...Though it had to wait till we went to our destination.

Later~

My attention was drawn towards the group of apes that awaited Ceaser and his son Blue Eyes. I found out their names on the walk over, as we passed the gates into a small remote village, next to a waterfall. All the apes...they were just like Ceaser and his son, had that look of intellect, like a human. Most of them, were very fidgeted to mine and Julia's arrival, though it could of gone worse I suppose.

We were brought to a small hut, how nice it had to be small. I nodded a thank you towards Ceaser, though I looked beyond his shoulder, another ape that had green eye's, but his left was a milky green white, with a scar across his face. He looked very threatening to myself. I shuddered at the thought of whatever these apes might do to me, but I pushed it aside. I watched Blue Eyes about to walk out, till I grabbed his wrist.

He snarled at my presence, and I sternly looked at him "Hey, I wanna make it up to you, apologize for what happened earlier...So let's make amends, and um...I can treat the wound on your arm, but if you wanna continue acting like a spoiled, stubborn teenager, be my guest and walk out " I continued looking at him sternly, keeping my grip on his wrist "Let Lena help you..." Julia spoke calmly to him "She feels kinda bad for what happened" Blue Eyes glanced at both of us and sighed as he sat down on a small, wood-like chair "Fine, be my guest then" He reassured, I grinned "Great!" His voice didn't frighten me as much as his father, so I got to work. I didn't want him to hold a grudge for what I did to him.

Hope you guys liked Chapter 1! Stay tuned for more
