I ran with my brother through the woods as Erasers chased us away from the School. I screamed when one got me on the ground. Then something kicked in. I wrapped my legs around the Erasers neck and brought it down. Then I tackled the one holding my brother down.
Just then a pain burst in my back. My brother had the same reaction as I did and knelt forward in pain. We both got up and kept running. Just then I woke up covered in sweat and screamed. It had been a year since that happened.
My brother, Josh, and I live in the Rocky Mountains alone and it's a peaceful life. I'm fourteen and my brother is my twin. We have some sort of connection that the scientists had the liberty of making possible when we were taken from our home. My name is Grey, we still can't remember our own names and we try so hard. Whenever Josh gets something wrong he bangs his head on a wall.
I always tell him to stop because it gives me a headache. I got out of bed, got dressed, and ran outside. I was infused with wolf DNA, they wanted to make me an Eraser. But I was a failed experiment and they no longer wanted me. So Josh and I ran away.
I walked on and on until I came up on my stream. I knelt by it and sang softly to myself.
"Love knows no sacrifice, there was a killer on the loose, and No one helped poor Sally Sue." I sang softly as I played with the water.
I heard someone else's voice in my head and turned to find a guy around my age standing right in the closure of the trees. Then I tackled him to the ground with a growl. He groaned and put his hands above his head.
"I don't trust y-"I was cut off by his wings launching me in the air.
I did a summersault in the air and landed on my feet. He smirked and pulled out a bomb. I ran at him and snatched the bomb out of his hand and shoved it into the water. The bomb exploded and I rolled out of the way so that nothing could get me. I then got up and growled at the boy.
"I don't want to hurt you, sorry. That was just the Erasers fault. They planted it on me." He said with a sorry smile.
I growled again, I didn't trust this guy one bit. Just then I remembered a smile and a hug. Then an excruciating pain exploded in my head. I fell to the ground clutching my head and cried out in pain. He rushed to my side and put his hands on both sides of my head and shushed me.
I then lost consciousness. All I could see was a little girl running up to her father and him hugging her close.
"I'm sorry I missed your birthday Kate, I was gone for business." He said into Kate's ear.
She pulled back from her father's embrace and smiled.
"That's okay daddy, we get to have Christmas together at least." She said and put her arms around her father once more.
I would've smiled but then suddenly I saw another one. The man and a woman were in the living room of a house. The man looked slightly older and aged. Just then the girl came in and frowned.
"Dad, what are you doing? That's not mom and who in heck are you?" She asked and crossed her arms.
Her father gave her a soft smile.
"Katie dear, your mother was in a car wreck and died just an hour ago." He said trying to keep from crying.
He had to keep strong for the girl and her brother. Her brother just ran in to find his sister standing in front of their father.
"No, that's not possible! You're lying!" She yelled and ran to her room slamming the door behind her.
It all cut off there and I was left wondering who these people were. I woke up with a horrid headache in my bed room. I looked up at the ceiling and felt tears well up in my eyes. I let my mind go to the girl and her father, she seemed so much like me. But I never knew my family except for Josh.
We had grown up in a freaking lab for crying out! I groaned and got up. I found the guy from earlier sitting by my bed with his eyes closed. I frowned and grabbed my hat then very quietly ran out of the room and house. I had to get away from all of my worries and this wreck of a life.
I ran faster than I ever have and I ran across state borders to the west coast. I loved this place because no one else had ever come to find me here. I was always shut off and no one could find me here. I always came here to think and I held my knees up to my chest as my tail brushed the ground and my ears held a perked position. I looked at the crashing waves below me as I heard people talking and coming towards this general direction.
I ran and hid behind the trees forgetting my hat. I cursed and waited. A group of guys came through the trees and looked at my hat for a second. I thought for a second, ran to get my hat, and dove into the ocean in a very swift movement. They all just stared at me as I crashed into the waves.
I could hear their thoughts clear as the sun. They all thought that I was crazy diving from that height and that I was very pretty. I smiled as I came up for air and dove back under. I swam for shore and collapsed on a rock. I fell asleep as the sun warmed my skin and dried my clothes.
I felt all warm when I woke up and I opened my eyes to find the group of guys staring at me. I growled at them, jumped up, and ran into the woods. I heard them pursue me and I ran harder until something grabbed my neck. The hand was all hairy. I growled in frustration and swung my legs underneath the Eraser and knocked his feet out from underneath him.
He smiled and bit my arm hard. I screamed in pain and kneed him in the groin. He doubled over and I ran away without having to deal with him. Blood dripped down my arm as I ran away. I ran in full speed and stumbled over a few rocks.
I finally came up across a clearing and pulled out my wrap around bandage. I wrapped it around my wound and sighed in relieve as the pain ebbed away. I pulled out a granola bar and ate it in one bite then settled down for a nap. Then more rustling sounded from behind me and I snapped up into a sitting position.
