Chapter 1: First day
It was raining.
Strike that it was pour. Hong Kong rain storms could be the worst. It was only her third day on the street. On the first day, she had begged her family to take her back in. She…she couldn't help what had happened to her. It…it happened to a lot of people, the news said so but…she wasn't a monster, or mindless. Her parents were ashamed; they tossed her out with the trash and everything she ever owned. She had picked up a few scraps of her past and stuffing them into a make shift bag from a bed sheet, and she had hurried away.
It had been pointless trying to save any of her old life, by the second day; she went to the police, hoping they would help her. They accused her of theft, took what little she had and tossed her back on the street. Shouting profanities and hate filled tirades, she had been lucky, that they let her go. She found out later it could have been much worse.
The third day found her sitting in a downpour, cold, hungry and alone. She pulled her small body tighter against the dumpster trying to get warm. Hot tears began to drip down her cheeks though she tried so hard to make them stop. She looked at her reflection in a puddle with disgust. She had been so pretty before the change, now…she just looked like a big bug.
Like a cricket.
Cricket…that name would suit her just fine now. She didn't deserve her old name now anyway.
On the fourth day, Cricket discovered her powers. She had been savaging for food in the trash behind a restaurant, when a group of large EVO's came into the alley. They were eating, what smelled and looked like fried rice to Cricket's hungry eyes. Hungry overcame her shyness and she carefully approached them, asking if they could spare any food. They had laughed at her and as she tried to leave offered her some food…for a price. A price the 10 year old EVO was not willing to pay. She ran but the large dog man jumped, grabbing for her. On instinct she jumped away…and landed on the fire escape above. They scrambled for her but she just kept jumping till she was far, far away. Her legs burning too much to continue, she slumped to the ground on a rooftop, doing her best to hide, in case they found her somehow.
And on the fifth day, she met Rex.
