I made the vent and kept going turning the corner out of reach but I kept going I needed to escape from this place I stopped realising that I had lost the skull the vent below showed his having it on his belt I let out an ear splitting screech at my taken prize. He had it. I will kill him but at the moment I needed to get out of here it was too confined here he was too powerful at this point, he had training I didn't he would win and kill me most likely from our recent encounter. I didn't owe him anymore he may have saved me from those tranquilisers but we were now even I didn't owe him anything and no one stole from me and lived.

Flashback

"Subject two! Where is the mouse? I know you have taken it we caught you on the camera, now return it we only let you see it to explain our tests." The female ordered I hated her so much she was meant to be my carer and teacher but I saw straight through the first act instantly and she knew it so she treated me like that mouse.

To keep my TV I pretended to be obedient for a while putting them under false security ready to escape at first chance but when I saw the small mice she called them. I watched them run around in their individual cages one was being held by a technician roughly and the mouse squirmed until the human male yet out a painful gasp at the bite the mouse had given him. That mouse refused to be tame like the others so when I was left in the room with the technician for blood samples I sneakily took the mouse back to my cell it crawled over the cot edge my body stopped the cameras seeing. It enjoyed the freedom but still trying to escape it was relentless not wanting to be tamed no matter how big the cage. The technician will be back to retrieve the mouse soon to return it to a life of experimentation so cruel. The mouse's skin was flaky and fur was falling out the drug they were giving it was making him suffer why send it back to die painfully. I gave the feisty mouse a quick twist of the neck it hung loosely in my hand true freedom from pain and the cage.

Instinct saw it as a prize I picked and killed it. I realised it would soon start to smell and decompose so I scraped the fleshly parts off the body leaving the tiny skeleton it had been a quick process and by afternoon feeding time I had a clean skull which was mine. Just before afternoon feeding my carer came in mad by her rushed clicking of her heels she opened the cell and began to shout but returning the mouse. I had tried to hide the skull but she pushed me aside and saw the small white skull.

"You animal you will not be having your afternoon feeding and will not be leaving this cell this behaviour is not permitted here." She tried to take the skull I wouldn't let her have it but she punched me making me release my grip she took the skull and began to walk out. She took my prize I had earned it and she took it. Without thinking I ran at her knocking her to the ground. I snarled at her and began use my claws to shred her face and arms anything that got in the way she screamed before I squeezed her neck to the point I snapped it. I was only a young child but that was mine before men could rush in I took my prize and returned to my cell leaving the body I wouldn't take her white skull it was too damaged by the actions of my rage. The cell door closed quickly and gas filled the cell I clutched my prize tight to near breaking point as I was knocked out. That was the last time I saw that skull again and I resented the humans for it.

Flashback end.

I carried on crawling until I got to the elevator shaft my one way up to the surface and I had former commanders pass key I had swiped it would give me a head start straight up inside the elevator was dark but I swiped the key card and the elevator hummed to life going up. The doors finally open and the rooms looked completely different now they looked off white and seemed to be tiny with only small tables and chairs which seemed old compared to the white clean rooms below. I didn't stay I ran down the hall ahead I heard humans running this way so I turned into one of the rooms in the shadows. They ran straight past going down the stairs probably towards the male who took my prize good would hopefully slow him down. I look around the room finding a window it was darkening outside turning into night the TV calls it. I took my first look outside, it was different shades of I understood some stuff around me from the children channels that I was permitted to watch on the TV.

I heard gunfire below he was close so I smashed the window and without thinking I jumped through the jagged hole it wasn't too far from the ground. I stood on the crumbly ground that shifted under my feet it was cold and wet from the rain that had begun to fall I ran for the trees ignoring the gun shots aimed at me the humans couldn't catch me now. I was free and I wasn't going back I would rather be that mouse and would accept death before I was put in a cage.

These humans were in my way but by the time I got to the surface I had just spotted the female enter the forest a perfect hunting ground the humans were shooting at her. I used my plasma gun to take care of them she was mine to hunt her getting injured would make it less fun. I jumped down and ran after her. Once outside I paused and opened my gauntlet and begun pressing a sequence of buttons then ran I would give this female a head start but first I ran to cover.

BOOM!

The building exploded throwing up chunks of debris the tree I took cover behind a tree. After a minute I looked round and saw flames nothing could be recover from that the old gauntlet must have had a build-up of energy over the years of no use. I now turned my attention to hunting the female. This would be her first time outside so this hunt would be interesting to see her true instincts come through human or yautja. I wanted this to be fun so I gave her an hour head start, let the hunt begin. She would soon come after me for the skull the scream from before told me this. While I waited I cleaned the skull for her, taking off all the flesh will pass the time.
