Nightmare
A/N: Please read this with an open mind. I've never tried an OC/OC before but please review anyway and tell me how I could do it better. Also, this chapter does get a bit far-fetched but stay with me. It gets more normal in the next chap. That's the plan anyway. Thanx and keep on readin'!

My name is Xander, I am 15 and have just escaped from the "Institute for Higher Living" more commonly known as the School. Call it what you like, it doesn't matter it doesn't make it sound any better. They experiment on innocent children and it doesn't usually work out. If you are a failed experiment they "put you to sleep", at least that's what they like to call murder.
Here I am, almost free, I've just walked straight through a fence and am looking quite undignified in my loose- fitting grey sweater and plain grey trousers. When I say walked through a fence I don't mean like a ghost or something. I have lots of… firepower, literally. Somehow, they have given me the ability to generate intense heat through my hands, enough to melt anything, solid steel fences for example. So that's me, here I am, standing outside, mid-afternoon in my jim-jams waiting to be shot. Hey, it could be worse… somehow.
"It's been over an hour now and we still haven't found him" Says Sheila, she's frustrated now, we all are. When we smell something we have to find it, it's in our nature so it's pretty annoying when we lose the "prey".
"Maybe he's escaped properly, through the fence?" Kyle suggests.
" I hope not, for all our sakes" Says Mark. We have no idea what Xander is capable of, even he doesn't know. We do know one thing though, Xander wasn't created for speeding up evolution like the rest of the experiments.
"He's a weapon isn't he." I ask. But we all know the answer, he's like an A-bomb. A human weapon, with the kind of power he has he could destroy cities, countries. And he doesn't even know it.
Suddenly, Mark looks up, we follow his gaze to find he is looking South. The direction of the nearestouter limit fence. Mark has better hearing than the rest of us.
"What did you hear?" we ask.
"Something snapped, he's broken through the fence" Mark looks at me, I see fear in his eyes. Our gaze lingers, then he runs and we follow. We are the pack and Mark is the leader.
The pack knows this is a tense situation, they may destroy us if we lose Xander. Or worse destroy our families. We sprint after Mark, moving as one. Kyle once again is on all fours. Before I know it I find myself joining him, my legs are changing, they become wolf-like. As I run I feel my knees turning, my legs become hind-legs, my arms become front-legs. Paws and all. I stop in terror and everyone else stops and turns to look at me. I try to speak to them but all that comes out are muffled whines.
"Oh my God!" Simone, Kyle, Sheila and Mark stare down at me.
"Is that you Kim?" asks Mark, a tear in his eye.
I can do nothing but whine to him. This must be a nightmare, it can't be real. It's physically impossible for us to change completely.
I sit down, my heart is heavy and I let out a whine, then I howl.
"Calm down Kim" Kyle demands.
"There must be a way out of this, change back the way you do when you grow a muzzle, Try!" Mark tells me.
I concentrate, close my eyes and see my human form in my head. My legs begin to change and my paws become hands again.
I open my eyes and amenveloped by relief.
"What the hell happened?" Says Sheila.
"I don't know, I d… don't" I can only stutter.I am human again, but for how long?
Mark rushes to me as I stand up, I stumble slightly but he catches me.
"I can't handle this Mark" I whisper to him.
"It's okay, you'll get through it, we all will" he replies and then something strange happens. We hug, then he kisses me.
"I thought I'd lost you"
Please let me know if that was terrible! im not sure if i went too far or not. ah well i had fun anyway. R &R thanx
