Dark.
That was all I could see after the doors had closed, I was seven at the time and scared out of my mind. The white coats had left me and a few other 'mistakes' in the same cage to save space. I was the oldest, the other two were five and four at the time. Aron was the second oldest under myself, he was spliced with a bat. Sadly when they had performed a procedure to make his hearing stronger his eardrums were damage, Aron hasn't been able to hear since. But Lina, the youngest, was the worst off of us. they had tried to make her into some type of fish mutant, needless to say it hadn't worked. Lina was still optimistic, even if she couldn't walk for more than ten feet. She always talked of how we would escape, but if we did what would we go to? None of us knew what the outside world was like or even seen a glimpse of the sun, or the moon...But still with Lina's help we were able to keep our hope, thanks to her we were able to will ourselves to live.

It was late one night, well at least I think it was night, when an eraser walked by our cage. Normally this was not strange at all but this time the eraser stopped to look us over. Instantly I pulled Lina into my lap and held her protectively, she was the weakest of us so I felt she needed protection most. The eraser cracked a smile and broke the lock on our cage. "Run." That was all it said before backing into the shadows. Without a second thought I reached back an grabbed Aron's hand, yanking him up and charging out of the cage. carrying Lina I made my way out of the room and down one of the long corridors. It was very very dark in the hall meaning most of the white coats had probably left by now, all the better for us. "Stay quiet Lina, okay?" I told her, my voice barely above a whisper as we crept our way through the corridor and out into a large open room.

Aron was holding onto the back of my white gown like shirt as we inched our way cautiously to the door. It was odd that we hadn't run into any more erasers since we left our cage. I shook the thought from my head and lead Aron to the door, and the moment I opened it my eyes widened. There was a window, large rows of windows along the walls of the hall. all three of us nearly cried out with joy, we were free! We were finally free! I charged to the window and carefully sat Lina on the ground beside me as we pried them open. "You first Aron." I mumbled as I helped him out the window, I knew he couldn't hear me but I didn't mind, talking to him as if he weren't deaf made me feel a bit better. Once Aron was down I lowered Lina out and was about to follow when I saw it. There was a cage in the corner of the hall with a baby in it, I couldn't just leave the poor thing there.

I walked over to the cage and using my large paw like hands i pried it open, this cage was weaker than ours had been which was a relief. I picked up the small baby and smiled when it began to squirm, it was alive and looked to be normal. I gave off a sigh of relief and climbed out the window after my pack. "Lina, I've found a..." My breath hitched when I reached their side and saw what was about to happen. Erasers, they looked like newly made erasers. It wasn't til now that it hit me on why we were set free, we were going to be their training. they would learn to hunt escaped experiments through us. i held the baby with one hand and took Lina's hand with the other, "Lina we need to run." Lina nodded and pointed to the woods to show Aron where we were headed.

"Go!" I yelled and tugged Aron along be hind me. We both ran as fast as we possibly could through the woods, desperately trying to escape. The Erasers weren't on our tails so I assumed they were giving us a head start to challenge the newbies. Great. As we made our way through the woods I came up with a great plan. splitting up. I was determined that at least one of us would live to be a free mutant freak even if I didn't make it. When we reached a river I stopped, "Lina... I need you to swim the rest of the way okay? They won't follow you in the water." I said as I helped her into the water, she looked like she was going to protest but decided better of it. "Aron I want you to fly away. We will all meet up in those mountains." I said as I pointed to a mountain range, which the river happened to lead to. Aron nodded and looked up towards the mountain, "Be careful Ash." Aron said before unfolding his bat like wings and taking off. "Good luck.." Lina mumbled before diving under water and swimming away.

I looked over to the woods and smirked, "Hold on little guy." I said to the baby as I charged into the thick of the woods. I was spliced to be designed for defense and speed, but that doesn't mean i can't fight. No, I was gonna make it out of this alive, and once we were free of these losers Lina, Aron, our new baby, and me would all get a home and live a happy safe life. Yes that's exactly how it will happen. I smiled as my feet carried me through the wooded area faster than any eraser could possibly imagine, true we were considered failed experiments due to our faults but most of our traits were flawless. That Eraser would have a lot to explain when the white coats realized we were gone, but those mutts deserved it.

Hurray my prolog is finished! XD I think I did good~ And Don't worry there will be more action in the next one. But there will be a time skip. this was just a back story. The real fun has yet to begin.

If you wanted to know.

-Ash is a Lupine, they were trying to create the next generation of Erasers with her but they messed up. Ash can change into that full on werewolf like form but when she would change human from her elbows down were still large white paw like hands. As a result they marked her as useless and threw her to the side to rot in a cage. When she turned twelve she lost the sight in her right eye and is afraid that she soon may lose sight in her left.

-Aron is a bat, He was going to be used for night hunting of escaped experiments but when he was three a surgery to enhance his hearing ruined his eardrums and now he can't hear. However he can hear music, it is an odd trait of his.

-Lina is an aquatic type creature. She was created from the DNA of a Puffer fish, as a result when she is afraid she has needles that stick out on her body at will as a defense mechanism. She has trouble walking on land but in the water she could go for miles before getting tired.
