The moon's soft light drifted from the sky onto the grass below, causing all the colors to come out as a silver. This was the best time for her to go hunting. She stepped out, showing her silver pelt. She looked around, not spotting a thing. She sighed, then sat down, the string around her neck pinched. She put a hind leg to it, and with a bit of strength, she snapped it. The string fell to the ground, looking like a collar, but it was different, instead of letters, it only showed numbers.
"To them, my name was experiment 3307."
She looked at her paws, her fur was thin there, and her claws were longer than most cats. These were the things the humans did to her. She stood up, and the light hit her face. Her eyes were red, but they quickly changed to a violet. A long scar ran down her neck, and her teeth were sharper than her claws.
"I'm a monster thanks to them."
Her thoughts were drowned out by a howl.
"Shit! They got their dogs after me!" She cursed, now sprinting away from the long grass. She had just escaped from them, and they were never going to bring her back. She'd rather die.
She came to a stop when the grass faded away to a cliff. On the other side was another ledge.
If she made it, she was free.
But...
She looked down, barely able to see the river below. The growls grew louder, and the beams of light the humans held were shining on her. She looked down, and gulped. Without thinking, she took a few steps back, then sprinted forwards, launching herself into the air. Time seemed to freeze as she lept across. Panic hit her when she glanced down.
What was she doing?!
She tried to push the thought away, the other side now almost at her paws. She stretched out a paw, but to her fear, she started going down. She had missed!
As she slipped into the shadows of the cliff, she could feel the tears on her face. She wasn't crying because she was going to die, she was crying because she'd never see the face of her friend.

"Mouse, are you insaine, They'll kill you for sure if you escape!" the silver she-cat hissed, her paw were wrapped up from their latest "test" on her. She looked through the bars of her cage, facing a light brown tom. He had two white eyes from when the humans "accidentally" spilled something in them.
"Blossom, if I don't I'll be forced to spend a life here. I'd rather go to hell!" His hiss was full of hate, but then he looked up at her and sighed. "Blossom, I don't want to leave you here too. Please, come with me."
"Mouse-"
"I can get you out of there! I know I can!"
"Mouse,"
"Then, we can run out the window, and dodge the humans and be free!"
"Mouse!"
"What?"
"Where. Where would we go? I hate it here as much as you do, but I'm afraid of the world. What if it's worse than here?"
"It'll be better. I promise. Blossom, we can go to a place with plenty of room. I'll hunt for you, and, and we can meet new cats and-"
"Mouse, I'm a monster. Look at me." She cried looking at her refection from the metal bars Mouse leaned over from his side of the cage he was in, gently pressing his nose to her's.
"You're not a monster Blossom. You're beautiful." his words made her feel better, but she was still scared.
---
"Mouse!" Blossom cried, trying to fit a paw through the bars. The light brown tom had waited for a human to pick him up, then he sprung forward, racking his claws over it's eyes. It growled in pain, falling over. Mouse had lept over to her cage, and was about to pull the lock.
"Mouse, look out!" She cried, Mouse turned, but it was too late. The human had picked him up and stuck a needle into his fur. His eyes started to close, and they carried him away.
"MOUSE!" Blossom cried, ramming herself forward. The cage door flew open, and she sprung forward, her claws gripping into the human's arm. It dropped Mouse in surprise, and fell backwards. Blossom let go, and rushed over to her friend's side.
"Mouse?" She mewed, putting a paw to her friend's side. His eyes flickered open, and he smiled.
"Hey."
"Mouse, get up. We can still make it!"
"I can't move."
"Then I'll carry you!"
"No. They'll only get us both."
"I'm not going to leave you!"
"If you don't, they'll kill you."
"If I do, they'll kill you!"
"Blossom, I'll be fine. Go explore the world. I'll be waiting here." He rasped, closing his eyes. Blossom could hear the humans getting up.
"I'm not leaving you!"
"Go!" Mouse hissed, his eyes shot back open and glared at her. Blossom could feel her heart rip in two as she tore her gaze at him and to an open door. She took three steps then froze.
"Go!"
---
Even if they had let Mouse live, she'd never see him again. Blossom let her tears fall as the darkness consumed her.
'Goodbye Mouse'
Prison gates won't open up for me Show me what it's like Heaven's gates won't open up for me
On these hands and knees I'm crawlin'
Oh, I reach for you
Well I'm terrified of these four walls
These iron bars can't hold my soul in
All I need is you
Come please I'm callin'
And oh I scream for you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin'
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll show you what I can be
Say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me
With these broken wings I'm fallin'
And all I see is you
These city walls ain't got no love for me
I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth story
And oh I scream for you
Come please I'm callin'
And all I need from you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin'
Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll show you what I can be
Say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me
Hurry I'm fallin' All I need is you
Come please I'm callin'
And oh, I scream for you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin', I'm fallin'
Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll show you what I can be
Say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me
Hurry I'm fallin'
