A/N: So, here's the first chapter for the actual story! Yay! It's about the School telling them what to do and stuff like that. R&R!

Cassandra POV

The huge and heavy metal double doors swung open, letting blast of cold hair hit me. I really hated how hot they kept this room; I mean, our animal DNA doesn't need it that hot! Most of us need cold air!

By 'us' I mean me (Cassy), Star (the one we look up to, you could call her our leader), Becky (she's violent, I can give ya' that), Belle (she's kind of a klutz) and Jezze (she's got some animal in her, about 5 different species). We were a batch of total weirdoes.

A Whitecoat walked in, followed by five others. All but the first one were rolling wheel chairs in front of them. They stopped and turned to us.

"You are being made an offer." The one without the wheelchair said.

"What?" Star asked from the cage next to me. She had a strong, determined look on her face, but her eyes still held something. She was found in the School, but no one had any files on her. They didn't know anything about her, not even her real name. But we gave her her name; Star. It was perfect for her because that's how her wings would shine in light.

"Come." The five Whitecoats walked forward with the wheelchairs and unlocked our cages. They strapped our hands and ankles down with Velcro, which was really itchy.

They rolled us down the hallways. Everyone was relieved to get some cold air in their lungs, but we did have to see what types of other failed experiments they had attempted to make. Really sad, you know, because of the five year old dying babies. The world is cruel. Well, more like the School is cruel.

Eventually they brought us in to a long meeting room with a black granite table stretching across the room. One side was lined up with chairs, but the other side had no chairs where we would have to be. Dammit, I hated it when they wouldn't let us walk. You see, this is the type of place where standing is a luxury.

The room was crowded with Whitecoats, all looking intent on telling us our mission.

"Quiet down!" A Whitecoat called out. The murmurs stopped and everyone looked at him. He gave me and the flock a glance, then cleared his throat. "Star, you are considered the leader of all of you guys?" He asked.

"Yes."

"Then listen carefully, you need to here this more than the others. Your mission is to recover subject 00."

"Just add a seven there and we'll all be spies hunting James Bond." I mumbled and Belle snickered from next to me.

"She was our very first experiment, and she has been the best out of all the attempts. But she had been given a... normal life. She's sixteen and goes to school now, so your job is to find her among the students. Her name is Teressa, last name unknown. Find her and take her back here."

"Sound simple enough." I said. "We just tell her she needs to come back."

"Not really," he said, "she doesn't want to come back. You need to fight her to get her back. So, we have your plan all laid out."

"Then what is it?" Jezze asked.

"Here." He handed us all papers, and we read them.

A/N: Yay! Happyful! R&R!

Nudge: Ooh! When am I gonna' come in? Huh? Huh?

Me: Sorry, Nudge, you're not coming in.

Nudge: Why noooooooooot?

Me: Because this is about Cassy and her flock, Nudge, not you.

Nudge: But I wanna' be in it! I wanna', I wanna', I WANNA'!

Me: -Covers mouth- Okay, yeah, R&R!
