"A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Prologue

A cold autumn breeze rushed through the alley, and I shivered slightly. I pulled my knee-length coat tighter around my body as I shrunk back against the brick wall. I was starting to wish for the familiar touch of my sweat pants instead of stiff jeans. I would much prefer the warm fabric different pants than denim that got cold easily.

I ran my numb and freezing fingers through my short, choppy black hair which was cut kind of like a boy's. I then pulled my black baseball cap low over my face, trying to hide the weird color of my eyes. It's not that my eyes are weird for my kind, but they tended to scare normal people off easily.

Yeah, that's right, I said normal people. As in, I'm not a 'normal person'.

You see, I'm what you would call a mutant.

See, that's honesty right there! That lets you know a little about my character, considering that I try not to reveal myself too much. Even my personality can be deadly when strangers know how to use it against me.

Especially the place I hate most. The School.

I guess now would be a good time to explain everything right off the bat.

For starters, I'm a mutant. I'm part wolf and part owl. I know, it sounds weird having two different creatures as part of my hybrid, but the animal's senses come in handy from time to time. I can even turn into a wolf from time-to-time, which I find kind of epic. The wings that I have is kind are kind of cool too, since they are a silvery-gray like a certain type of owl that I never bother to learn the name of.

That's why I said that I wasn't normal.

Because, in all the honesty that I don't have, I'm not normal. Not even normal by mutant standards.

Most mutants my age had either died, escaped, or had to work for the School like I do. I envied any and all mutants that were dead or lost on their own in the world. While I was stuck at the school trying to break free at any moment, I was their little puppet. My job was to find the mutants hidden among regular people and bring them back to the School.

Of course, I never listen. I do my best to let the mutants know to get as far away as possible from me when I can. I don't like watching children my age and younger suffering through stupid, cruel, and painful experiments like animals. It pains me to see them all squished into dog cages like they aren't humans. Like they're freaks.

Just because humans made them different.

I hate how the School studies the kids like lab rats that they can just do what they want with. They can give the kids any form of abuse and the kids can't even fight back with full strength.

I hate the fact that they think they own us. I hate the fact that they think they can do whatever they want to us. I hate their stupid rules and thier stupid know-it-all scientists.

I hate it all.

And I have no choice but to help them with their cruel experiments.

I'm determined to change that. I'm determined to get away and live a normal life among people or other escaped mutants.

And it's starting today.

It's starting with me meeting them.
