The Faunas and the Fang
Chapter 1: Origins
The blade plunged through my heart and out through my back, my attacker had a large grin on his face, "Looks like you're not so tough now are you, "he whispered leaning in to my ear.
I should probably explain myself a bit; my name is Jace Hannibal I grew up in the small quiet town of Windy Falls, well small and quiet until the White Fang showed up, The white Fang are a sort of terrorist group made up of Faunas which are a mix between animal and Human DNA.
At a young age I saw the White fang take over my town, abduct its people and perform genetic experiments on them, from what I could learn at the time they were trying to bolster their numbers with artificial Faunas, Suffice to say not many of their experiments succeeded and those that did wished they hadn't. The new Faunas where a very inferior copy to the originals they did not have the same Strength or dexterity as the others and purely served to intimidate their enemy and not to fight.
That's where I come in; I was one of the last few people taken, round the time they took me they were starting to give up not having much success they were moving to non-conventional methods, Instead of the usual, wolf, cat, bear etc. DNA they used on the others they switched to a more unique sample, Reptile DNA.
Long story short their experiments worked on me, I was as strong as natural Faunas and much faster, however I had a few other special tricks that I kept to myself. They thought they would turn me to their side like the others, they had a chemical that made the subject obey their commands, but due to an unforseen side effect on their part, this chemical did not mix with the DNA they had injected into me, I played along however. I wanted as much info as I could get on these bastards anything I could sue to take them down.
A few weeks after my new 'birthday' I decided to make my move, I slipped out of my bunk in the middle of the night and crept silently through the camp an added bonus of my new reptile DNA is that my night vision was a hell of a lot better, I walked silently slipping past the patrolling sentries until I came to the medical tent, I moved inside and made my way over to the silver cabinets at the back and found that they were all locked, I turned and rummaged through the cabinets, I managed to find a scalpel and tore the plastic from it, I turned and pushed the blade into the lock it would only penetrate about an inch, I put force behind it and it was pushed in deeper and popped the lock from the cabinet door.
The white fang are so arrogant and power hungry that they would never expect someone to make it this far into the camp, as such the security for the cabinets was less than perfect and it only took me a second to pour the contents of the vials inside the cabinet onto the dirt, satisfied with my work I slipped back outside. And straight into a patrolling sentry, "What the f", my hand jabbed out and stuck him in the throat but I was too slow he already started yelling by the time I silenced him.
I had no choice, I was planning on stealing some supplies but now the whole camp was awake, I ran silently between tents ducking down every time someone ran past. The camp was pretty big, they had roughly 1500 people in this camp, and that wasn't even there main force, to avoid suspicion they had forces spread out all over the country, it was my bad luck that my bunk tent was in the middle of the damn camp. Even with my enhanced speed it took me fifteen minutes to get to the edge of camp. And my bad luck hit me again, we had chosen this spot in particular for one reason, three sides of the camp lead to cliffs and the raging ocean below, I turned to try another direction but instead I was met with the orange glow of the Patrol, normally I don't leave footprints but when I run at my top speed the prints I do leave are very deep. They had followed me here and there was no way to get past them without getting into a fight, and even with my new skills I wouldn't like to take on 1500 no wait 1499 people.
I thought to myself and tried to come up with any other options but found none, taking a slow breath I turned and in the same motion leapt into the cold dark water below.
