AN: This story doesn't take place in the same time period as the show and there's no pulse. It takes place in current time. Now on with the story!!!!
Faith was awoken by a loud noise, which sounded like a gunshot. Then she heard footsteps coming into her room. Where was everyone? What happened? Before she could think any more, her older sister Marisa ran in at her fastest. What was going on?
Faith was the youngest X-5 at only 5 years old. Everybody else was older. Her hair was cut in the short, buzzed military cut all the soldiers had. Her hair was brown and her eyes were brown. Her sister was 9 and had brown hair and hazel eyes. All manticore soldiers had a barcode on their neck.
"Faith, come on! We're leaving and getting out of this hell!" Marisa whispered urgently.
"Why?" Faith heard herself asking.
She knew why. This place was horrible. They were being trained to kill. Their DNA had been tampered with, causing them to have abilities no normal human had. They were often called transgenics. They could see in the dark and farther than normal humans and they could hear similar to a wolf. They could run faster than the eye could see and they were super strong. They were also very agile, because of the cat DNA which was put into them. Manticore soldiers lived in cells basically. They didn't deserve to be called barracks. In Faith's heart she knew this place wasn't right.
"Faith, we have to! This is the last straw! They just killed Eva!" Marisa said, picking Faith up and running out the door.
"They killed Eva? When? How? Why?" Faith asked.
Eva, Faith remembered her. Eva was one of the oldest soldiers at 11. She had protected all of them. She was like another sister to Faith. Why did they kill her? Eva wasn't hurting anybody.
"Yes, just now. They shot her and she disobeyed and Lydecker got mad and shot her," Marisa replied, answering every question.
They were already nearing the perimeter. Faith could hear the sirens in the distance and the Manticore men tracking behind them. They would never catch up. Once they reached the fence a big group of soldiers stopped quickly. She saw Zack, the blonde haired, blue eyed boy who always took the role of leader. He stood in the middle.
"Listen. Everybody pick a partner and get out of here! Get as far away as you possibly can! Don't worry about anybody else. Just keep going!" Zack commanded in a loud and clear voice.
With that, they all fled. Faith was with Marisa and they ran. They went over the fence with ease and ran. It was cold, but Faith wasn't bothered while she was running. Snow was on the ground. When they got at least 20 miles away, Marisa stopped and so did Faith.
"Where are we going now?" Faith asked.
"I don't know. I just know maybe we should ditch the gown. It'll make it harder for them to find us," Marisa replied.
All Manticore soldiers wore blue gowns, similar to hospital gowns. Manticore could track them easier that way. That's another reason why they gave them barcodes, a way to track them and a way to tell them apart. The soldiers gave each other names. The people at Manticore called them by the first 3 letters of their barcode.
Faith shivered, now that they were stopped she realized it was cold. She also realized her feet hurt and looked down to see they were bleeding from running barefoot on ice and snow. She looked at Marisa. She had the same problems. Faith wondered how Marisa's twin brother and her older brother, Jimmy, was and where he was. She also wondered how their oldest brother, Joey, who was 13, was doing. She'd never know at the minute, now would she?
