Chapter 1
Another Day in the Life
Disclaimer: I don't own anything except Valrith, the experiment idea, and the plot (I might own more as the story progresses).
Forward: Valrith is the first successful creation of combining DNA out of 366 other experiments. The DNA he is made of is the general human code (the reason he is a 1/2 human, 1/2 vampire), Bella as a Vampire, Edward and some randomly self-developed DNA. Valrith is 12 years old.
Valrith's Point of View (VPOV):
(Bzzzzt) "Ow!" I shouted as someone woke me up with a cattle prod, leaving me with the sixth burn of the week. "I'm up, I'm up! It's not my fault I need sleep, unlike the freaks who zap me with this cattle prod on high." Hatred slipped through on the last sentence, turning it into a hiss.
"Out of bed," Alec said, "Aro wishes to see you."
"Do you know why, so I can prepare?" I asked, hoping with all my might that it was just a physical test.
"No. All he said was to get you to the lab, but if you're not there in five minutes, you get a session with Jane."
I shuddered, thinking of the first time I disobeyed as I got dressed. Jane's sessions were torture, literally as she used her mental ability to cause torturous pain. As soon as I was dressed in the simple white shirt and shorts, I rushed down to the lab as fast as my human/vampire body would let me and made the five minute time limit by a second.
"Hello, Valrith. It's really interesting to be able to examine a half vampire, half human. Bella would have never let her daughter, Renésmee, be examined like this," Aro said conversationally.
"I can see why," I muttered so Aro couldn't here me. "I'm lucky to be in one piece."
"Now, it's time for your outdoor period," Aro announce as he led me outside to the field, my favorite time of the day.
Maybe I could escape, I thought excitedly, there aren't any guards and the only one here who would have a chance to catch me is Aro! I was getting really excited as a plan formulated in my mind. All I have to do is get him out of action for a bit, and I'm free. The best thing to do would be to stun him in some way, like a force pike1, or, better yet and easier to make, a stun baton2. I bet I could make one in my room.
Back in the Valrith's room, after a few lab tests, breakfast, and dinner (not in that order):
I looked around in my room, searching for something I could use to create a stun baton or a force pike, and spotted the telescopic antenna to a radio. Yes! I thought, that could be the part to release the electricity. Now all I need is to find some sort of generator or battery powerful enough to stun a vampire for at least a minute. Ah ha! I thought as I spied the microwave, With a few upgrades, this could work.
As I fixed up the make shift force pike and slipped it into my pocket, dawn broke along the horizon and
Alec came into my room.
"Wake up, Aro is waiting," Alec said as opened the door.
"OK," I said, ready for my outdoor period and excited to get a chance for freedom.
