In this world... There are humans.. And animals.
But what if you wanted to be both ?
Well... then I'd happily trade you lives.
My name is Andy. Well, at least, I think it's Andy. I was given that name while being born and raised in a lab inhabited by scientists- crazed white coats that experimented on me, and my little brother. We were given gene's- oh no, I'm not talking about the gene's you'd inherit from your parents- I mean gene's from animals. In my case, a tiger, to be exact. My brother, Ian, was given cat genes. Since we were born 3 years apart, Ian never had anyone to hang on to. He had never met our parents, and he didn't have any friends so when he met me... He clung like glue.
" Experiment 5291. " I sighed as my thoughts were interrupted, and looked over unenthusiastically at the man looming over my cramped cage.
" ..Come for more blood tests, I presume? " I mumbled out, examining the man's oddly clean coat. there's no blood on it today.. I thought to myself, feeling slightly relieved. Of course I wasn't the only one in this place. I had heard that six other 'successful' experiments had gotten away safely, one that the white coats talked about especially- a girl named Maximum. I had always wanted to do the same thing she had... But... They could hurt my brother- my Ian- the only one left in the world I cared about.
" Hold put your hand. " I felt my ear twitch and I resentfully held out my hand towards the man.
" ..Can I have some water after? " the man shook his head.
" Water will only be presented to all experiments strictly at 9 am and 5 pm. It's only 11 pm now. " I rolled my eyes and winced as the sharp tip of the needle entered my hand. It was the same spot, every time.
" ..Whatever. " I groaned as I turned away from him. I glanced over quietly at my sleeping brother, who seemed to be having a nightmare of some sort. We'd been aloud to stay in the same cage, oddly. Mostly because I would had struggled and yelled continuously if they hadn't. Suddenly his eye's snapped open and he sat upright, gasping in horror. I stared worriedly at him for a moment, and then watched as he turned his head towards me. His wide emerald eyes fixed on me and then glanced at the man draining my blood away. He frowned. I smiled and felt the needle pull out. I flexed my fingers while pulling my arm back in the cage and watched as the man began to walk away. When he was finally gone, I pulled Ian into a tight hug. " You okay? " I whispered softly while running my hands through his tangled blond hair. He nodded even though his shoulders were shaking. He didn't want to go through this everyday- no one did. I swore that I'd protect him but.. There was only so much I could do. The white coats had created us- made us the freaks we were, and no one could go up against them. No one inside the facility anyway. We were doomed for life in this hell hole- the school. ..Or so I thought.
