I sighed softly as i streched out on the thin mattress on the floor. The other girls were still sleeping but my internal clock always woke me up at 6 am on the dot. I grabbed some clothes of the pile next to my mattress and quietly made my way to the bathroom. i got to the bathroom and quickly shut the door. I Looked in the mirror and tried to search my face and find the monster. I didnt see a monster looking back at me i just saw a girl with oddly bright eyes. But i knew that was not the reason i was called monster. The reason I was called monster was because of the vicious claws and deadly fangs i sported.
I was kicked out of school for being a monster, or in kinder terms, a mutant. The principal had said that I was a danger to the other students and that he would not get sued over an orphan like me. Yeah thats right i said orphan, life at the orphanage was hell. I knew my name was Briar, i knew that i was 16 years old, and i knew that i was a mutant. But the way I was treated i was a monster plain and simple.
I got dressed and put a blank expression on my face. I walked downstairs quietly, my bare feet making no sound on the creaky boards. The Matron of the orphanage, Miss Larcy, had assigned most if not all the household chores to me. I was not treated like a child who lost her mother and never even knew her father, i was treated like a beast of burden.
I quickly got to cleaning the downstairs while everyone was still asleep. The kids here were awful always calling me names and pushing me around. They were freaked out when they figured out that i healed almost instantaneously after i got injured. In the 3 years that i had been here i had learned how to fight. My mutation made me into a killing machine. I could run at speeds around 45mph on all fours and not get tired. I could slice open sheet metal with a single claw. I could also sniff out a 12 hour old trail. I could easily run away and survive in the wild. So why didn't I? I was waiting and hoping my father came for me.

I woke up quickly, i didn't open my eyes right away though. I sniffed out the room and once i decided that no one else was in here I opened my eyes. I streched out on the tiny bed they had in the barracks. Where the hell did they get these things? I got off the bed and changed. Stryker had said something about a misson today. I stalked through the halls and made my way to the command room. I passed a few people on my way there and they all just nodded politely. A grin streched across my face, they knew better than to fuck with me right after i got up. I strolled into the command room and took my seat. I had to fucking wait for thirty minutes before everyone else showed their faces.
"Now team, I have another misson for you." Stryker announced like he was proud of himself. I began to impatiently tap a claw on the table.
"The matron of an orphanage in Ohio has alerted us of a mutant that currently resides there. The mutation is unknown but we do know that the target is a 16 year old girl named Briar."
