AN: Hello! I'm Tiaret (That means Lioness in an African language), anything you recognize in this fic does not belong to me, and I lay no claim to it.

Bear with me until the end of the chapter and tell me what you think please!

Enjoy.

Venturing Towards the Unknown

In the United Federal States of America, in the state of Washington, under a near constant cover of clouds and rain lay a tiny town called Forks. It's population: around 3000 people. Plus one. Me.

How I know that? Well, I'm going to live there. That's why.

Charlie Swan, my father and Chief of Fork's police, was waiting for me at his- well, it's ours now- house. As for me? I'm finally being released into the world, my training complete, my control solid. I've been deemed ready to face the music after I forced the world's best men and women to admit that I learned everything they can teach me.

I'm in the army... or, I was up until 10 minutes ago.

I'm on my way to Forks now. I'm flying my baby there. I designed my plane, Akira, from scratch, so she's mine to keep. They did ask for my designs though, and I ended up making a pretty penny off the Army for a copy of the design.

I was one of the many people who had been kidnapped at the Lab. We were in various age groups, from newborns to adults. It was terrible there, the things they made us do. After I got to the Army, my teachers there taught me everything I know: piloting, strategy, army tactics, martial arts, science, genetics, mechanics… Everything really. They helped me understand what I've been turned into.

You see, I'm not normal. I haven't been normal since I was five.

Five years after I was taken, the Army found me when I escaped. Somehow I retained enough knowledge to function and break out without going on a massive killing spree. Somehow.

They took me in, taught me control and how to take care of myself. In a nutshell, they gave me my humanity back.

You have to understand, my captors weren't your average kidnap-and-ransom type.

No.

They were doctors, medical and scientific geniuses obsessed with creating a new species of human. A stronger species of human.

We were experiments. Each chosen for an organism which had somehow been inhabiting our blood. For some unknown reason, it doesn't inhabit most people. The Organism, because of it's existence, caused the DNA of it's host to adapt to anything introduced to it.

They played with our genetic make up, trying to make us different. They used different subjects for each section of the experiments, and when they finally got the results they wanted individually without killing the subject, they introduced it to the others.

That was the tame sector of the Lab. The sector I was housed in dealt with a completely new creature. Human-like creatures with animal capabilities, with animal limbs.

We were chosen for our genetics. Ours was twice as rare because of the fact that our DNA welcomed the changes to the structure instead of just adapting eventually. Terrible things had been done to us in that Lab. When a white-coat came and took one of us, sometimes they never brought him or her back.

I was young when I was taken, barely four years old, and for that I was 'gifted' with many talents.

When I was nine turning ten, I witnessed something that shocked me to my core. After a few weeks, I took the Lab down, putting the people inside out of their misery, and making sure that the notes and the experiments were lost to humanity.

I don't remember anything between then and the first time I laid my eyes on the man I never would have thought capable of compassion.

They say I didn't kill anybody, but I don't think so. Because I remember the screams.

I'm on permanent leave now. Only in case of the 'imminent' death of mankind was I to be called back. So, I'm heading to Forks to visit my dad, to make sure that everything is fine.

But the best thing about all of this was my going away present. My teachers and superiors all pooled their money together to get me something they knew I would love. My car. A Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera. A gorgeous car built for speed… Just the way I like it.

I wonder if Father is going to murder me for speeding… Oh shit. FATHER…. Would he even like me? Somehow I doubt it. No one ever has before, and I don't think anyone ever will.

AN:

Bella's abilities will be revealed later on, though it is safe to say that she is not fully human. If you want me to clarify anything while I'm writing, please point this out to me in a review.

If you want Bella to have any special ability, review it and I might or might not use it, if I do, I will PM and say so.

This is my First Twilight fic and Review are always appreciated.
