Chapter 10. To Trust Or Not To Trust
Rez's P.O.V.
Mark's right, they definitely aren't normal. But who said anything in my life is normal? I'm still not sure if I'll stay with this group though, they're a ready-made bunch of friends. Do I really want to turn their lives upside down when they find out my secret? Mark found out on the first day, so should I just leave? Do I trust them? These questions whirred around in my head throughout the last two periods and as I went through the still-painful transform behind one of the sheds. As I soared up and into the clouds I realised something I hadn't fully grasped a hold of, I'm flying home instead of walking. I'm really half dragon! I land a couple of blocks from the industrial tower, and walk. No use awakening Corporal Wilkinson's suspicions. I didn't get any homework today, so I have a proper look at the laptop. There's an awful lot of blueprints and information on war in its database. I scroll down the blueprint section and find Project Rezeri. It says that I was experimented on by a group called GTC (Genetic Transfer Centre) to find a weapon to give them an edge in the war.
She will have the characteristics of a large reptile, possibly a dragon or lizard if DNA reacts properly. She will have the ability to fly and conduct electricity. She will have sharper hearing, sight and smell. She can run faster, think faster, and disappear faster. Project is success, ready to move soon, as soon as we find her.
Oh no! I think. I'm meant to fight in a war? That's why they want me? But who's the war against? And what else has this GTC group done? I can't even talk to anyone about this! Tonight I feel even lonelier then I've felt as I drift off to sleep.
