CHAPTER 1 : STUPID NAMES AND SHATTERED GLASS.

'Shh!' I hushed, the nine year old by my side. 'We have no time! They'll be back any minute!' I reminded her for the fifth time that hour. Then we saw the opening, we ran for it, not caring about the pain of running across shattered glass. We'd been through much worse anyway.

We paused as we saw one of the new experiments. She was crying, in her glass dome, her wings tucked tightly on her back, and she was crouched down, attempting to find a more comfortable position.

Her attempts were useless, seeing as the glass dome hardly fit her in. She saw us and banged on the glass surrounding her, 'OUT! OUT!' We barely heard her screech.

I kicked the dome, yet it ceased to shatter. She looked down for a moment of uncertainty then lifted her eyes in a hopeful expression. She beckoned us away, So we slowly walked back. We watched her stand up and push on the glass dome around her, she closed her eyes and BAM! She unfolded her wings sharply, the pressure of it shattered the glass, and she was free. I ran over and grabbed her hand. 'Let's go' I said, as I turned on my heel and ran.

The six of us too young to know much, but we knew more than you would think.

Four years later.

I awoke a little startled. Another nightmare of our past. But it's over now, It's all over.

THEY are the ones scared of us.

I kicked the figure sharing my room. 'Get up you lazy pig!' I growled.

She turned around to look at me. Slowly she raised her index finger. Then collapsed back on her bed, pretending to snore. I crouched down and tugged her light brown hair violently 'Wake up cute kitty!' I grinned. I could have sworn she literally jumped six feet in the air. I ran, knowing this might be the end of me.

Horrible shrieks and threats were heard from the other side of the house.

She definitely WASN'T a morning person.

She finally found me and I caught a lamp that was thrown.

I struggled to keep my balance as I dodged various inanimate objects, Plates, knifes, my desk… I tripped as she managed to get scrabble pieces all over me. I fell on the various plastic letters, and her green eyes smiled victory. She had recently cut her hair short with the kitchen knife. Claiming it got in her way too much. Now it was shoulder length and she looked adorable this way. Though, if I said that, I would probably have the couch thrown at my head, which mind you is very painful! Trust me, it HAS happened…. Her strength scares me sometimes, well, it's her talent right? I mean Throwing sofa's no sweat at thirteen is a little abnormal right?

Well that's how THEY made us! Me, Courtz at 14 being 3% albino fox, complete with ears and a tail! My Powers being, able to call and communicate with animals. (Perfect advertising don't you think?)

My little, sofa throwing friend is called, Shy, (Though her tag said, subject X13) When we escaped she was so shy and cute! Now she's annoying and she throws inanimate objects at my head! She's 5% Cat, meaning her hair grows back FAST! She has a thin grey tail, and slightly darker ears to match.

All that's special about her is her super-freaky strength and her annoyingly good aim.

Shy pranced over to the messy kitchen, getting whatever she could scrape out of it. She found, cake doughnuts, and some left over pizza she snagged from the pizza house in Florida. (More on that later)

'I smell pizza!' Eddie said racing into the kitchen. Shy turned around to glare at him. 'Pick up the mess.' She demanded pointing the scattered scrabble pieces.

He sighed. 'Look, do you want the pizza?' She said raising her eyebrow.

Eddie sighed and raced over to the mess. In three seconds the room was clean.

Yeap, That's my baby boy 9 years old and 9% Cheater. His speed comes along nicely at times. It makes him difficult to fight, or have a competition with.

His light brown hair was getting longer now, and his spotted ears were twitching with bemusement.

His tail was almost like a snake, writhing and wriggling to its own accord. He had cheetah paws as hands, but strangely enough, he could morph them back to human hands…. Yeah… speaking of abnormal…

Deek strutted in, typical! He is so full of himself. Well, what do you expect? He is Shy's twin brother.

Both of them 5% cat and so annoying. But Deek was strangely affectionate; he had yellow slitted eyes and black ears and tail with white fur patches here and there. His hair was bleached silver and he patted it down whilst Shadow walked in to the room. Shadow was the tallest of us. He was also the quietest, the sneakiest and probably the calmest. Just like a shadow. He is 1% panther and 99% HOT.

He sat down on the sofa, His hair was a matching shade of black, and though he had no ears, his eyes were yellow and slitted. He had sharp, claw-like nails, and teeth that could bite into anything.

Everything seemed normal, Shy barking out orders, me sitting here and talking to myself, Eddie and Deek fighting over pizza and Shadow being… well…. Shadow!

I sighed before I realized something. Something very important. 'Shy, where's Ezi?' I asked, panic rising in my voice. Perfect timing! The window smashed next to me, and Ezi, the very person I was just mentioning crashed on the floor. 'GUYS! We have to help them! Guys we HAVE to help them!' She said randomly shaking glass off her wings. Meet the sixth member, Ezi, She has waist length brown hair (like my hair, but my hair is black) and blue eyes. She's a far better flyer than all of us, I mean, we just had wings surgically and painfully attached to us by evil white coats who hunt us.

But Ezi is 2% Eagle, so she basically dominates the sky when we decide to do some hunting. Or, steal pizzas. Shy nodded at me. 'Okay pack, let's go!' I yelled as we one-by-one jumped out of the window, each of us unfurling our wings on the way down. 'Erasers are coming for them, North-east, the forest in next to the cave, one of them is injured, there is so way humans can fight them.'

Ezi said. 'Wait, you were flying over them? Did they see you?' Shy asked picking up her flying pace.

Ezi shook her head. 'How many are there?' I asked. 'Six.' Ezi replied.

Eddie, Shadow and Deek were behind us, for back up. They stay and hide whilst the girls fight….. Sounds promising.

'YEE HAA!' Shy sung tackling an Eraser to the ground. He pushed her off, Oh, she could handle this.

'Oh Bravo! You want a treat?' Shy snarled tying her hair out of her face. 'Oh, Kitty wants to play' He snarled back. 'Go ahead, dog-breath!' She dared, feeling confident. I let Shy handle that Eraser, Ezi dropped down suddenly and landed. I followed her. 'Are you okay? How are they?' She asked, the wounded appeared to be a young boy of eight and two girls, one of around eleven with dark skin and a six year old with blonde hair. 'Look, this is gonna sound really weird, but you might want to leave because a pack of huge ugly, mutated dogs with wings are coming this way, and I'm not sure if my friends can handle all of them within a sane distance.' I said

'Erasers?' an older blonde girl around my age asked getting to her feet. 'Heard of them have you?' Ezi asked. 'Yeah! They were after us not yesterday!' A strawberry-blonde haired guy said.

'Why are they after you-' I was cut off before I could put the question mark when two Erasers smashed through the tree-line. As soon as the dust passed and the bark stopped flying, a VERY angry looking Shy stomped through the line of newly demolished trees.

'T-that was a tiny bit too much don't you think Shy?' I asked. She glared daggers at me.

'They. Called. Me. CUTE!' She growled ripping out a tree by the roots and throwing it at the unconscious wolf-bodies. Ezi and I slowly backed away from a fuming Shy. (I coulda sworn her eyes were red…)

'Uhm, so why were they after you again?' I asked the group again as they watched Shy kick the dead Erasers bodies. The older-blonde girl looked back at me, chucking the occasional glace at Shy.

'We escaped from the school and now, they want to kill us.' She shrugged. 'Oh! The school! I remember the good old days and the school!' Ezi rambled on. Looking at the sky with wonder.

'What are you talking about? You were only there for two weeks and you were trapped in a freaking DOME the whole time!' Shy reminded her.

'Oh… Right…' Ezi mumbled scratching the back of her neck with nervous laughter.

'So… you guys are from the school too?' A blacked haired guy asked walking out from the shadows (Not the hot ones like Shadow…)

'AHHHH! OH EM GEE. IT'S SHADOW…IN DISGUISE!' Ezi shouted pointing an accusing finger at him. 'Yes doofus?' Shadow asked stepping out of the trees, followed by Deek and Eddie. 'AHHH IM SEEING DOUBL- wait what did you call me emo boy!' Ezi retorted, whacking him swiftly on the side of his head. 'WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR BI-' I cut him off by whacking them both over the head.

'OWW!' They cried out in unison. 'WHY do you ALWAYS hit ME?' Ezi screeched at me. 'If you didn't notice I got hit too.' Shadow said, glaring at Ezi. 'I don't CARE about you!' Ezi said like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Shadow was seriously ticked off.

He opened his mouth to continue their bickering but Shy cut him off by talking to the strangers.

'Yeah, we are.' She said to the black-haired guy, who had been standing still the whole time.

The blonde looked us like we were mentally retarted, and the light haired male had a confused look on his face, staring at nothing in particular.

Ezi noticed this and walked up to him, waving her hand in his face. 'What's up with your eyes?' she asked him, bluntly. 'I'm blind.' He answered simply. 'Hm. Are you sure about that? Have you done the tests?' She asked idiotically 'I think I'd know if I could see.' He replied calmly. 'Well maybe you just had you eyelids closed the whole.' She told him, probably thinking it was a smart answer to the question no one asked. The light haired boy pointed to his face. 'Does it look like my eyelids are closed?' He said angrily 'I. Am. Blind.' He told her clearly, but Ezi wouldn't take that answer. 'I don't think so. I THINK YOU SAY THAT SO YOU CAN PERV ON GIRLS!' She shouted in his face. 'I'M NOT A PERVET! YOU MORON IM BLIND!' He shouted back at her. 'HA! You're not fooling me pervert!' She said walking to my side. 'That was mean Ezi!' Shy scolded. 'I mean, give him a break! Sheesh!' She muttered giving Ezi a light slap on the arm. 'COOOUUUURRRTTTTTZZZZZZZZZZ! I'm hungry!' Eddie complained.

I looked at him sympathetically. 'Okay, let's go home.' I said taking his small hand. 'I think it would be safer at our house.' I said seriously, turning towards these strangers. 'How can we trust you?' The oldest blonde said cautiously. 'Look, Erasers don't go near us! They run from us! The only thing you have to worry about is Shy throwing inanimate objects at your head.' I said with a grin. Shy huffed and stormed away muttering something about killing me in my sleep. 'I'll wake the kids up.' Shy offered. They looked reluctant. She kicked a small black dog on the ground and it whimpered, before saying 'Watch where you walk you idiot!' Shy literally jumped 3 feet in the air and clung to the nearest person for dear life (which happened to be Deek.) 'OH MY -Insert your choice of swearword here- ING GOD!' She squealed, her eyes nearly falling out of her sockets. 'THE D-DOG JUST TALKED!' She said in utter shock. 'THE DOG JUST TALKED!' She said again, panicking. 'I'm… I'm DELIRIOUS, DELUSIONAL!' She said in disbelief, blinking. 'I'm NOT "the dog" Thank you very much. I prefer Canine-American.' The black dog said, seriously, trotting over to the youngest of the strangers. 'His name is Total.' The oldest female spoke again with a sigh. 'Look we're happy to go with you, but please don't turn out to be evil lab-coats that want to do sick-twisted experiments on us, okay?' She said seriously. I laughed. 'Trust me, we're evil but not THAT evil.' I giggled.
'E-evil?' The youngest male stuttered, waking up from his unconscious state.
'GAZZY! YOU'RE AWAKE!' The two fair haired of the eldest exclaimed. I turned towards the childish laughter coming from Eddie. I shot him a disapproving look. 'What's so funny?' the blind one demanded. 'His name….. is GAZZY?' Eddie snorted in disbelief. 'Actually, it's the Gasman.' The black haired one corrected. Eddie collapsed in tears, laughing so hard, his guts might have actually spilt out. 'WHAT'S SO FUNNY ABOUT MY NAME?' The so called 'Gazzy' Shouted. 'Eddie! That was RUDE!' Shy lectured barely herself keeping a straight face. She then turned to Ezi and whispered in her ear what I could barely make out as 'who the hell named him The Gasman?' She whispered as both her and Ezi tried to supress giggles. I sighed. 'What's your name THEN?' Gazzy shouted pointing to Eddie furiously. 'John… Smith….ie…..' Eddie said seriously. I smacked him over the head. 'His name's Eddie and I'm Courtz!' I said rolling my eyes. 'OOH, OOH ME NEXT! ME NEXT!' Ezi screamed jumping up and down with excitement. 'Fine, Ezi go ahead…' I said with a smirk.
'OKAY! I'M E-'She said pumping her fist in the air before cutting herself off and turning to glare at me. 'Wait A second! You just RUINED IT!' she shouted in disgust. 'ANYWAY! I'm EZI!' she said with her cheesy grin. 'I'm SHY!' Shy somehow screeched like a preppy cheerleader. 'Call me cute and you DIE!' she growled. 'Trust me, we weren't planning to' Deek snickered. 'ARE YOU CALLING ME UGLY?'
she yelled outraged. 'Well, I doubt even you, need help figuring that out.' He said gesturing to her, as she was about to snap. 'You little –once again insert your choice of swearword here- !' She screamed about to leap on him as Ezi and I held her back. 'CALM DOWN!' I snapped. Shy whimpered and retreated giving "The finger" to Deek. 'I'm Shadow and this dude is Deek' Shadow said in that mesmerising voice of his that always sends chills down my spine and makes my heart skip a beat…. Woah I just realised how cheesy that sounds…

'Uh, I'm Max, This is Fang and Iggy.' She pointed. So the blind one is Iggy? And the dark haired one is Sha… I mean Fang. 'Ooh! I'm Nudge!' The dark-skinned girl said sitting up in excitement. 'Oh, sweetie how long have you been up?' Max asked, giving her a hug. 'Since… John Smith-ie here, started his laughing fit.' She mumbled rolling her eyes. The last member of them sat up, hugging the dog as Shy pulled an 'ick' face. 'I'm Angel' She said innocently batting her eyelids. 'So, now that's settled, let's get going!' I ordered leaping into the air. 'Ezi, lead the way!' I said dramatically pointing at her. She nodded and flew swiftly into the air. 'Folloooowww meeeeeeeeeeee!' She said, her voice echoing as she disappeared from sight. Fang followed her immediately, then everyone else joined, Shy and I flew behind everyone else. 'So… Do you think we can trust them?' She asked me seriously. I shrugged 'Ezi seems to trust them.' I said and Shy nodded. 'So… Um… That Iggy was pretty cute wasn't he?' She asked nervously, looking at the trees below us with great interest. I squinted at her to see the tiniest bit of pink forming on her cheeks. 'Oh. My. GOD!' I shouted pointing an accusing finger at her. Several of the others turned around to look at me.
'YOU!'
'NO!'
'YOU SO DO!'
'NO I DON'T!' Shy denied shaking her head furiously, completely red in the face. Yeah, who was I kidding, the day Shy has a crush will be the day of the apocalypse. Though, now I think about it… Iggy is blind… So she wouldn't have to worry about looking good and we all know how much Shy hates spending time on her appearance. Shy flew ahead, avoiding any more questions. 'We're home!' Ezi shouted crashing through another window.
