As I sat all alone in my crate I looked around the big white room they had my cage in
As I sat all alone in my crate I looked around the big white room they had my cage in. It was much larger than any room I had ever been in, probably half the size of a football field and it had two doors located on walls opposite of each other. The room was completely empty, except for me inside my tiny cage in the middle, and was eerily silent. I could sense that something big was going to happen; 1) because I had never been in such a big room before, 2) I had never been in a room by myself before now, and 3) the dumb white coats had given me more food than usual for breakfast and said, "Today's the big day!" with those silly dementedly wrong grins spread across their faces. So, yeah, I was expecting the worse as I huddled in a corner of my tiny cage farthest from the doors.
I waited…and waited…AND WAITED, for what felt like days until finally a large group of white coats filed into the room from the door to my left while a HUGE mass of erasers filled in through the door to my right. 'Oh, joy' I thought silently as I stared at the ever increasing numbers of wolf men in the room, 'I've heard of this before. They put you in the room and let the erasers loose on you. Well, this should be peachy.' But as they continued to file in, there were probably well over 100 now; none of them approached my cage…yet.
White coats chattered all around my cage banging up against it and writing down things on their clipboards as they observed me. Some even had the nerve to stick their fingers into the cage and when they did I snapped my teeth just centimeters from their finger causing them to jump and kick my cage while they cursed at me. They should just be thankful I didn't take their finger off, and I would've if I wasn't so afraid of where their fingers might have been, knowing my horrid luck I would've been poisoned, and really, who wants icky white coat germs in their MOUTH!?
I twitched my ears, that were each the size of my hand, and tried to concentrate on everything that was going on around me. Another white coat stuck his finger through the cage bars calling "Here kitty, kitty," so I hissed, yelled, "Bite Me!", and swiped at his hand with my claw, causing blood to drip down his hand from the five long deep gashes. Teach him to mess with me.
He yelped and started yelling at me telling me that I was gonna get what was coming to me…but what was coming to me? What was the worst they could do to me? I've lived here all 13 years of my life and I've only just been given my own room instead of a cage, whereas I've seen experiments with two or three rooms all to themselves that are probably around 4 or 5 years old, and they get treated better than me! So basically, as I'm sure you can infer by the amount of time I've been here that I've pretty much gone through every experiment they could think of to put me through… or so I thought.
So why, might you ask, did I hiss at the evil bozo who was stupid enough to cross into my personal bubble? Well that my friends is an excellent question whose answer I'm sure you have at least a small idea about, but I'll explain in full anyways, starting from the beginning I guess. My name is Bell, and I'm a Felis catus-human hybrid…you STILL don't know what I am?!
I'm part cat…meow. So anyways, I'm part human and part common house cat…yeah, I wish I was some weird jungle cat that could kick butt too but when I was first created they were just starting to try this kind of experiment so I got stuck with the easiest to combine feline DNA, a house hold cat.
I'm pretty sure that I'm part Maine Coon, at least that's what Tiffany said, but I have two snow white cat ears; each as large as my hand, slightly sharper teeth than a human (no I don't have a muzzle, just a normal human face), retractable claws on my hands and feet that I keep out whenever white coats are around, a bushy snow white tail that reaches just above my ankles so that I'm proportioned correctly and I can balance easier when I jump high(which I can jump VERY high), eyes that are slitted like a cats, one brown and one blue, and a tall yet thin body for getting around quickly and quietly. I also have long, tangled blond hair that almost reaches to my butt because the white clowns won't let me get a hair cut, stupid, freaky, evil- but that's an issue for another day. If you want to know more, well, just use your imagination.
I've lived at this school in, god knows where, ever since I can remember and I only trust two people here after 13 years of experiments and that's Tiffany and Thorn. Tiffany is a white coat, but she's the only white coat here that actually cares about me and sees me as a person, not just an experiment. She's like a mom to me and Thorn, who is a 9 year old plant person…yes, I said plant. She's been combined with a rose bush(don't even ask because even I don't understand how) and she shares a room with me, where we have a window that has so many bars and spikes around it that we don't even try to get out. Thorn just needs natural sunlight so she can soak up some rays, because that's how she eats, through the leaves and vines growing from her back. I know it sounds gross, and it kind of is at times, but she wears a shirt (duh!) and her vines and leaves tend to twist around her arms and legs so that they can get sun. So she just constantly looks like her limbs are being eaten by plants. She has bright red hair and eyes, like the color of a rose, and she's covered in freckles from constantly having to stand in the sun. But she's nice and acts as our own personal air freshener because she makes every room she enters smell like flowers.
I was jerked out of my dreamy 'remember-my-entire-life-daze' when a white coat opened my cage door and ordered me to come out and stand on a piece of red tape that they had stuck on the floor. "Ye-no." I simply snarled at him with tight set lips.
"I say yes," he said happily with an evil grin on his face as he directed a bright red controller at me but didn't press any buttons because I was already climbing out of my cage in a hurry, keeping my mouth shut and my face calm. I might not like these people but I remembered the last time a white coat had shocked me with that controller …and let's just say that I couldn't feel my toes for a few days.
"Now that you're bigger X31(my lab name) we've decided to test your strength." A young woman started to tell me. "Bell," I spat as acidly as I could manage, "my name's Bell, does no one understand that?" This was the third time this week that someone had called me X31; they just never got it right!
The young lady smiled a surprisingly sincere smile (even though I didn't believe it for more than two seconds) and continued, "Sorry, Bell," she stressed, "We're going to test your strength today against an enemy."
"You mean I get to beat up all you white coated freaks?!" I asked with enthusiasm.
But unlike the other fuming white coats around her she didn't even seemed phased…well that sucked. It's no fun if they don't get mad, but apparently she knew that. "No, you'll be fighting them," she said happily and gestured to the small army of erasers behind her. Without another word she walked out the door that she had come from and all the white coats followed until all that was left was little old me standing in front of around 150 laughing and evilly grinning erasers.
"I don't suppose that all you guys would follow the rule 'don't hit a girl'," I paused, "would you?" it was a sad attempt but I had never fought anything a day in my life and I had to try, otherwise I knew that my butt was dead meat. None answered but as soon as the loud speaker over head crackled to life and said, "Begin," They all took off in a mass toward me and I did the first thing that came to mind; the little fur that I had stood on end, I hissed, ran like the wind, and escaped the room without a scratch on me.
