Summary: We weren't human; we weren't animal. I'm not sure what we were, but our scientists had a name for us. 'Experiment'. Was that what we were? A creation of man and not by God? Well, who said God had control over their actions; just like they can't control us. Plus, it's about time that the world knew about our existence.

This was a pattern I, Patient B173689 E23 L5 L7 A2134773, knew fairly well. The clicks of heels announced that the scientist coming closer to me was female, and by the sound of her erratic heartbeat, also with child. She was a nice lady, treated me as if I were deformed in the mind instead of harshly like all of the other scientists and doctors did. Mrs. Renée.

"Hello B173689..." Renée unlatched my cage door, knowing that I wouldn't attack. "Come here dearie, you're going down to the Western Wing where J763294361 is." The Western Wing? The failures lived down there… Wait… J763294361? Jasper! I looked up quickly, smiling happily. It had been a while since I had been able to see him. "You're going to get a new doctor today. I'm going to be gone for a while." My smile faded just as fast as it had appeared. "Don't be like that… He's really nice. He'll take care of you better than I can or could; I promise." I just nodded, knowing she wouldn't keep that promise. "I'll be back in about a year. I'm having a baby. It's a girl. My husband Phil and I are naming her Isabella, after you."

I looked up again, finally climbing out of the cage that I was way too big for. "You've grown out of your clothes… You're developing fast…" Renée sighed." I'll get you some more when we get over to the Western Wing. J763294361 will be happy to see you. He might stop attacking the doctors." We both smiled, Renée and I walked the distance towards the larger cages. "J32499672 is there as well. He'll be on your other side. Try to keep them calm and to stop fighting. I don't know how long Doctor Hale can take this. They've run off three scientists. Doctor Hale might not be a scientist, but there's only so much violence one person can take." J32499672... Jacob…

We were closing in on the section that I would be residing in of this fairly large building. Mrs. Renée grabbed a clean dress for me, a fully grown woman, and stopped to allow me to change in a closet, away from peeping eyes. "Good girl, when I get back from my time away, I want to hear that you've improved. You're too sweet a girl to stay down here."

We passed by a few occupied cages, the occupants thrashing around wildly when they caught scent of me. Apparently I was the only female that would be staying down here with over a good forty males. Wonderful. None of us experiments spoke to the humans, if we could at all. "Try to behave B173689. I know misbehaving isn't a talent of yours, but try to keep J32499672 and J763294361 in line. They're here because they can't control themselves. The Quiletes and J763294361 are down here… The Quiletes can't control their anger and J763294361 doesn't follow orders unless he's allowed to see you. Try to get them to behave… or they'll be executed."

I nodded, knowing she didn't know that I knew what 'executed' meant. The only two males I liked in this entire laboratory scurried to the front of their cages, even though there was a human right next to me. Jasper and Jacob. I went to the cage on my right, sticking my hand through the bars. Jasper grasped it happily, putting it to his cold and pale face. He was blonde and somewhat muscular; he seemed to literally purr with satisfaction. After a moment or two I went to the other cage. The boy within was tan and had long silky black hair. Like before, I stuck my hand through and the resident grabbed it; but, Jacob stuck one of my fingers in his mouth, grinning all the while. "J32499672... Release her." Jacob sighed, but did as told regardless.

The cages were seven feet tall (with a few extra inches), eight feet deep, and five feet wide. There were sheets for the tenants to curl in (normally only three), and sometimes items that either the scientists or the doctors dropped and didn't notice them missing (such as pens). These were the big cages, mediums were half this size, and smalls were half of that. I had a medium during my stay at the end of the Northern Wing. The wing for the experiments that were less than ninety percent human.

"Dearie, it's time to go in." Unlike with most cages, the bars to separate the occupant with the next resident were drawn up. Renée must have noted my confusion. She said, "They - The Directors - were hoping you could settle them down. You're their last resort. Let's hope you work." Renée unlocked the cage, allowing me to go through. I did, understanding why I was down here. I wasn't considered a failure, my 'siblings' were. The Quiletes and Jasper, they were too uncontrollable. Well, that's what happens when people put animal DNA in humans. As soon as I was inside Renée locked the cage back, and hurried back down the hallway.

I was assaulted on both sides by very worried males. They tugged, pulled, hugged, and whined. "Jasper… Jacob… I'm fine. Let me sit down." They let me, still not letting go. Both of them roared at one another viciously. This was probably some idiotic dominance issue of theirs', knowing full well I was as untamable as they were. "I swear, if you two don't shut up with your testosterone, I will sleep alone with all of the covers."

The growling quit, but they still glared. "Sister, he's an imbecile."

"Bella, tell him I'm not whatever that word means. He keeps calling me it and won't tell me what it is he's calling me." Jacob began growling again but quickly hushed it against his will. "And tell him to stop with his damn mood-air. It's annoying and he won't let me be annoyed until later, when he's gone and I can't strangle him."

Soon the testosterone war started up all over again. Jacob didn't enjoy being called names he didn't know (and probably wouldn't like if he had Jasper's vocabulary). Jasper didn't want vulgar words used around me, to keep my mind untainted. Both of them didn't like one another or the excess dominance they radiated. "Oh dear god… you two are infuriating." The growling only got louder.

The air shifted, the scent of animal undiluted in it. "Jacob…" My tone was warning but when I looked at my tan friend, I noticed that it wasn't him that was about to Metamorphose. It was Jasper, the overly violent one, the one who was always extra-eager to kill someone. Yep, that was my "brother". He was a military strategist.

I jerked out of Jacob's arms, finally seeing that Jasper had backed away from me. He was scared, terrified that he would hurt (or accidentally murder) me. "Sister, no…" He pressed up against the bars as I went forwards. I had to fight Jacob to go to my brother, which only upset him more. "No Sister, just… stay back." His pants were too big, about ready to fall off with all the scooting he was doing. A tail, white with black stripes, swooshed out from behind Jasper. His transformation was already beginning. Unless the person was one of our kind, they couldn't understand his snarls.

Unfortunately, Jacob and I could. It was as if we didn't (or rather, Jacob didn't) know how intensely Jasper wanted to rip Jacob limb from limb. "What the fuck did you say to me bitch?!" I sighed, rushing over and hugging my adoptive sibling. "Get the fuck away from him Bella. I'm gonna murder his ass." Jasper roared at Jacob, teeth pushing out painfully to shove through the kind that could tear the Quilete wolf apart. That was new. "Fuck you too, bitch. Now, move Bella." I shook my head; I'd rather be damaged trying to stop them than just sit back and watch them kill one another. "Bella, move!"

"No." I jumped on Jasper, holding him close to me as he snarled at the both of us, for me to get away and for Jacob to run for his life. "Jazzy… Stop, please." He calmed for a moment before my idiot of a best friend returned Jasper's growl. Seriously, what was it with males and dominance? Was it just an animal thing they tapped into or was it with all males?

Jacob was past words just as Jasper was; I was the only one able to speak properly. I could feel hair break out over my brother's skin, pushing out through his pores. We had smaller (like, microscopic) and more (as in millions per square centimeter) pores on our body than humans. It was for the hair that we could produce or retract into us when we Metamorphose. The hair lengthened as the bones in his legs transformed, followed by his ribs and spine, then his arms, and finally hands into paws. He always had claws, it was something that he could never get rid of; the new teeth would probably be like that as well. His nose lengthened, along with his jaw and the rest of his face. Soon, there was a tiger (White Siberian Tiger) with the soul and mind of my vicious (though loving) brother. Usually the Metamorphose didn't take minutes, but Jasper had been resisting it. It took a second when he just let it happen, it wouldn't have been painful like now.

I looked back at Jacob, and sure enough, he was a wolf. Giant-ish sized. He took up at little more space than Jasper did. And little ol' me was stuck between them, two carnivores. "Jazz… stop. Please. If you hurt him… you'll hurt me." His growls turned into whimpers faster than I thought they would have. Leave it to Jasper to rather hurt his pride than have me suffer in the least. Now, it was just Jacob I had to tame down for now. Heaven help me.

Releasing the calm-ish Jasper, I turned around to face my new threat to existence though, I knew he'd never (intentionally) hurt me. He was just as wrath-acious as the other Quiletes like him. Well, maybe not as angry as them, but he was damn close. He just has some control, but not much. "Jake… Please, calm down. He's not going to hurt you. He just doesn't like you cussing in front of me; and quite frankly, I don't like you cussing at all." He snorted at me, but quit growling ferociously. Now, it was back to the protective kind that both tended to do whenever I was around. "Thank you."

I turned back to Jasper, wrapping my arms around his warm and fuzzy neck. "Thank you too Jazz." He didn't say anything, just nuzzled against me. It was something I was happy with being near him (and the Quiletes), he (or they) didn't fill in the gaps of silence with excess talking (or in this case, growling). Now, the girl whom I used to be next to, Jessica, talked non-stop. She never shuts up. It was annoying. She'd be down here soon enough because she couldn't do much of anything. Even Renée said that she was a failure and they were just waiting for enough space to put her down here. Hopefully it will be after I'm either dead or be very very very very very far away from me.

Jacob was protective, and a bit possessive. But, so was Jasper. Sure, I shouldn't allow myself to be overrun by them; however, they took care of me and they cared more than they should. I knew if it came down to it, they would risk everything for me. We had no one else. Well, Jasper, Jacob had the rest of the Quiletes… kinda like I did.

Hell, Paul, Mr. I'm-Angry-At-The-World-And-Will-Kill-You-As-Soon-As-I-Get-The-Chance-To-Especially-If-You're-Either-A-Doctor-Or-Scientist, cared about me. We had been jammed into a Test together, and he was nearly killed trying to get me to safety. The Quiletes were just like wolves. They were (overly) protective and (way too) possessive about those they cared about. Sometimes it was cute, like with Quil; sometimes it was necessary, like during Tests because the Doctors and Scientists didn't care if we died so long as if it was in the name of their science; but usually it was mostly just a huge bother, like now.

Holding Jasper to me, I realized we had a ways to go before any of them would be anywhere near controllable. My brother would be the easiest to have him understand. He just didn't want to be ordered like some puppet. But, if he knew he would be unable to protect me, perhaps he would be more willing to cooperate with them. But, we'd have to start that another day.

I could hear humans approaching the hallway, probably to see what all the noise was about. Or, maybe it was my new doctor. Someone like my first doctor; someone that wasn't like Renée.

There was no click of heels, so there was no reason to hope for a caring person. Maybe it wasn't meant for us… heh, we were too loud for it to be for someone else. As the human strode down the hall, I could see he was pale with blonde hair. When he came closer I realized he didn't have blue eyes like I thought he would have. Definitely a British man. He smelt sterile, and like warmth. I guess I could hope for a kind person. He smelt like the sun. He stopped in front of our cage and bent down, unlike how the doctors did. They usually stood there to intimidate us, and yet most of our kind still attacked them. "Hallo, you must be B173689 E23 L5 L7 A2134773. That's a long name… how about B173689? Or would you prefer Bella?" My head jolted up in instict when he said what Jasper and the Quiletes called me. Bella.

"Ahh, you've realized you have a name already. I'm Doctor Hale. I'll be your doctor along with J763294361's. Well, Bella. Would you prefer to come with me now or later? I have to give you a physical examination to see that all is working well within you." I only clung to Jasper, frightened to go anywhere near this man without one of them with me. They'd kill each other if I'm not here. "I won't hurt you." That's not what I'm scared of, idiot. I know you won't hurt me, you smell too compassionate to do anything harm me.

"N-no…"

Doctor Hale stared at me for a moment, not speaking, and then blinked several times. "What?"

"I said no." I shoved my face into my brother's fur, who was already growling nastily at the doctor, along with Jacob.

"Very well, but please do consider a time to. We need to get this done. You haven't had a doctor in a year, only scientists. So, I do need to examine you." He sighed. "I knew you were intelligent enough to speak…"

Jacob was already backing away, planning on attacking the man, even if he had to tear down the cage door. "Jacob… stop it." I reached out to him, stroking his side. He settled quickly, coming closer to me and Jasper as I leaned away. I caressed both of their heads, making sure they didn't assault the man because they probably could destroy the door that held us from freedom.

"Jasper, calm him down. It'll be easier that way." My brother only blinked at me and a couple seconds passed before the hostility in the air was almost nonexistent.

I knew the doctor was staring at us, trying to comprehend was what happening. "They listen to you." He was more intelligent than the other people that have examined us. I rewarded his intellect with a nod. "They trust you." Another nod. "If you were to give J763294361 the orders instead of the scientists, do you think he would follow them?"

I looked at my brother, he gave me a nod. He held enough confidence in me to examine the test to make sure there wouldn't be some kind of way for him to die. "Y-yes."

Doctor Hale smiled at me. "Will you come with me to be examined please?"

"Jasper… he has to come too." He merely rose an eyebrow at us. "If I don't take one of them with me, I'll only be able to come back to one of them."

The human sighed. "Very well… Which one is Jasper?" I hugged my brother again. "Then come on." Doctor Hale stood, unlatching the lock and opening the door. I walked out first, followed quickly by the tiger. The blonde man locked the door back, and started ahead of us.

Unlike me, Jasper and Jacob only had two sections to their name. I had five. J763294361 A51 was Jasper and J32499672 A51 was Jacob. So, I could understand why Doctor Hale didn't know which was which.

I stooped down, smiling kindly at my best friend. "I'll be fine Jacob, turn back while we're gone. Jazz will protect me." He licked my cheek through the bars, a simple way to tell me to hurry.

It may have been stupid of me, but I trusted Doctor Hale. He just seemed the type of person who wanted to help us instead of hurt us like so many of the other doctors have done.

I stood and followed after the human, Jasper at my side. He rubbed against my leg, a slight whine. I knew what he was saying. 'Bella… He's a nice man but I don't think you should be talking to him. I don't think they should know we can talk.'

"Jasper, I think it's fine. It means they won't kill us yet." He was such a worrier. He'd be a great father if he was given the opportunity.

'I still think Jacob's an imbecile.'

"You think everyone is an imbecile."

'They are.'

I sighed. "Including me."

'NO!' His whines turned into light growls. He almost never raised his tone to me. 'You're not stupid, not like Jacob, the humans, and the other idiots that live here. You care, you haven't given up on our humanity. You're more human than these humans.'

"Jazz…" He went between my legs, spreading them, for me to sit on his back. "I'm not a child Jasper. God, you're like a father without actually being related to me."

'I raised you. You were next to my cage when you were a pup. You're my child.'

Another sigh left me. "Should I start calling you 'Dad' then?"

He snorted at me. 'Please, as if I need another reason to kill Jacob.'

I laughed. "You know better than to hurt him Jasper."

'Just because I know better doesn't mean I can control myself.'

"You won't do it. You know it'll kill me." I gently stroked the hair behind his ears.

'You… mmmm… a little… to the… left…' Complying, the three of us took a right, towards the Southern Wing. It was the wing that had all of the test tube babies developing, where we were examined, and where the Tests were performed. Doctor Hale smirked at us with mirth obvious in his eyes. Jasper wasn't like a father, not truly, just an extremely overprotective brother. This man, this human, could be like a father to me.

He was like how Renée said he would be. Doctor Hale was better for me than she could be, or was. Maybe… maybe this place would be an alright place to live if he was to take care of us.

A/N!: I know it's been a while, even I am disappointed with myself. It's just… there's a bunch of shit going on in my life right now and I'm having a hell of a time dealing with it. So… I'm not sorry and don't ask me to be.

Plus! I'm having to sneak online at school to put this up because my jackass stepfather cut the internet off. So, sue him. He's the ENTIRE reason behind all this. The crap going on in my life and not being able to update as soon as possible.

I've had this idea for a while, unfortunately. I never got around to it because I seem to continuously start things and never finish them. Hopefully this will be an exception, like The Carnivore Lamb And The Unnatural Lion was. But, it's on hiatus because I forgot how I wanted it to go. As soon as I find the paper that has it's layout on it, then I'll start on it again. Ugh. Time to go through my bedroom again.

*hiss* I just don't think life's all that great.

Bye-bye for now!

Review please.

The word of the day is… Turbulent.

Turbulent is a adjective that can sometimes be used to describe relationships, either violent or confusing ones. Turbulent is mainly used to describe storms, such as hurricanes or tornadoes.
