Chapter One

I hate a lot of things, but the number one spot has to go to the 'wonderful' (notice the sarcasm) gatherings I cough am forced to cough go to with my parents to the company they work for, and that I coughforced tocough work at as well.

I didn't always hate these get-togethers. Quite the contrary, I actually enjoyed these get-togethers because it was usually the only time I got to spend with my parents. It all changed when one day when I was 14 I got ran over by a car and ended up in a coma. My mother, who is an inventor, thought that this was a perfect opportunity to use me for an experiment that she was currently working on and since she needed a specimen, preferably human since they could no longer use animals…. Stupid people, to make it simple, she used me.

Her daughter

Her ONLY child

She used me as an experiment and made me into a freak….

And this I am constantly reminded of when I go to these get-togethers….

I am a FREAK

… Thanks Mom….

What did she do?

My wonderful mother injected my body with different types of metal. She placed most of the metal in the bone marrow, so when my body produced blood cells they were 'evolved' as she put it. She placed metal in my blood stream, and in my muscles.

I woke up a few weeks after the 'operation' in complete and total pain. But that wasn't the worst part…. I couldn't eat any of the foods I usually ate.

No hamburgers

No french-fries

No meat

No vegetables

Fat and metal were all I was allowed to eat. Anything else and I could die from malnutrition.

My father, who works as a spy for the company, was quite angry for not telling him that she used his daughter to further advance my mother's experiment. Well, that was his opinion till he found out that the metal in my body could go up and through my pores to protect me. Then he was glad that my mother did this to me and I was forced to work for the company.

This is the part of my life where my respect for my parents went down the drain.

…And where I began to form my revenge.

I got my own office at the company, its name you ask? Can't tell you… they not only will kill me, but you as well. Anyway, I got my own office and since my mom's inventor's gene runs through my veins, I upgraded my cell… I mean… office. Yeah, office…. I also upgraded myself so when I feel like it I can form claw like fingers that are resistant to high temperatures and can melt and cool metal at my will, also, my claws have magnetic properties that I can bend to my will as well.

I make sure to have a lot of Germanium also, to create things with, as well as arsenic, to inject in my veins to make the metal I make, or eject from my body, and mold, deadly. I also inject Antimony, to make myself fire-proof, Polonium, to make radio-active artwork, Boron and Calcium, for my body to get some nutrients, and lastly, this metal mixture is mixed with Mercury to make it liquid.

I can drink a variety of metals; these include Mercury, Rubidium, Caesium, Francium, and Gallium. After drinking these I can do physical things much better, I mean… run faster than professional Olympic stars, lift a jeep and hold it over my head with one hand, jump from up to the roof of a three-story building… that sort of thing, and I also speed up slightly, and cannot sit still.

I lost all my taste for things around the first week of eating and drinking these things.

I also carry many other metals to melt and mold, in this extensive amount of metal, I am proud to say I have Titanium.

Anyway, as you can remember, I hate get-togethers, and unfortunately, this is where I am now…

"Oh, look how much she has grown!" My mother's coworkers said as I rolled my eyes and turned up the volume on my mp3 player, too bad my hearing had intensified after the operation, as did my eyesight. "How old is she now?"

"Nineteen"

"A complete success, Cobalt is not only still alive, but is very useful to the organization" I growled and left the room heading to my 'office' to grab metal, a snack, and lots of 'drinks'. I didn't care that I was going to get in serious trouble for my actions. I then walked over to the invention that I was helping to create. It was a time/dimension transport device. After passing all the security devices I went to the outside of the device. This was the main control system, I pushed random buttons (I can't have you repeating my actions) and the safety door opened. The outer rim was called the 'safety feature', or the 'outside layer', while the inside was the actual 'transport device', or the 'inside layer'. For various safety reasons I cannot say, the actual 'transport' button is on the outside, for other safety reasons.

I took off the wooden board that held the keyboard of buttons and checked the wiring. I had heard that yesterday's test-run had been a failure once again. I saw a few loose wires and soldered them where they belonged. I gingerly placed the wooden board back where it belonged and tested out the controls. After pressing a few buttons the inner glass door slammed shut and locked. I grinned. One of the loose wires down, just need to check the other to one to make sure it works. I pressed a few more buttons and was happily greeted by the intercom stating that my destination was ready. It was then I heard the door open. I instantly ducked down, fearing it was one of my parents. I heard a woman giggling and grimaced. I was locked in, and now as I remember it, you can only get out from unlocking the door on the outside layer. I groaned as I stood up, grabbing my bag as I prepared to pound on the glass wall when I got the lovely view of a man and a woman sucking face, the man lowered the woman on the keyboard on the outside and I watched in horror as she leaned back, taking the man with her, as she pressed the button that transported the person in the 'inner layer' to wherever they had wanted to go. I inwardly cursed as I felt waves of nausea wash over me as the weirdest sensation came over me. It felt as if I were being taken apart, molecule after molecule. I raised my hand and almost screamed as I looked through my hand in terror. I felt my stomach drop as I felt as if I were up high on a roller coaster and just about to go down a big drop. I closed my eyes tight as I felt myself spinning, and as quickly as it started, it stopped.

I carefully opened my eyes to find myself in a desert.

In between two people

Who both looked at me in shock.

And both held what looked like kunai to my throat.

My day keeps getting better and better.
