Chapter 2
Snow and woods and a barbed wire fence, of deafening helicopters, intense lights and barking dogs.
Two figures ran through a wood, snow crunched beneath there feet.
Closer you could make out that they were about 8 or 9 years old.
They wore hospital gowns with some matching shorts. They ran across the snow covered ground bare foot.
One was a male but it was hard to tell since they both had crew cuts, had white blonde hair whilst the female had brown hair.
Running. Never looking back. Feet tender, heart thumping, soldiers yelling.
Running for your existence because if they take you they might destroy you.
The distance was closing between them.
The possibility of escape was shrinking.
Lungs blazing…got to go faster, be faster.
What the mind can conceive the body can achieve.
Closer still.
The girl stumbled and fell.
Only one question remained: Capture, death or escape?
He ran back and helped her up.
"Anai, come on, we can do this." He whispered in her ear.
Anai nodded and started running again.
He started running by her side.
Anai turned to him.
"Thanks Zan." Anai whispered.
He turned to her and gave her a quick smile.
They ran down a steep embankment, he slipped and slid to the bottom.
Anai skidded down to his side and helped him up.
"Hurry Zan." Anai cried.
Anai could hear the noise of a motor gaining on them.
He leapt to his feet and ran into the thick wood.
Car wheels crunching over the snow, faster, faster.
Target located.
He could only watch in horror as a bullet hit Anai in the stomach and she crumpled to the ground.
Through Anai's tears she looked at him and mouthed run.
Zan did, not for himself but for her, she would never forgive herself if Zan was captured because of her.
A teenage boy woke abruptly from his slumber.
He ran he hand through his white blonde hair.
He walked over to his mirror and looked at his reflection.
He was still the same person wasn't he.
Same white blonde hair.
Same grey eyes.
"So where's this Zan guy?" He whispered at his reflection.
As he suspected, his reflection didn't answer.

Ron Weasley and Harry Potter had noticed something different about Hermione this summer.
She wore black everything, she now seemed almost cat like.
Ron and Harry usually had a heart attack whenever they turned around and saw her standing directly behind them.
They had asked her if there was anything wrong but she said there wasn't.
At first Ron came up with stupid ideas like someone was taking Hermione's place with a polyjuice potion or she was being controlled.
Harry just looked at Ron as of to say 'so you have officially gone mad then' whenever Ron made a suggestion like this.
Harry and Ron were sat in Ron's room at the Burrow discussing Hermione and what could be wrong; they had even gotten Ginny to keep an eye on her since they were room mates, she could keep an eye on her without Hermione being suspicious.
A triple knock sounded at the door. Ginny's knock.
Ginny then slipped into Ron's room.
"Hey guys!" She greeted them.
"So, Ginny what did you find out?" Ron asked his sister.
Ginny pulled out a small bottle with a label that read, Tryptophan.
"What's that Gin?" Harry asked.
"Some kind of medication I found in her handbag. I still feel wrong about snooping through her stuff guys but I want to know what's going on with her." Ginny sighed, she barely saw Hermione any more, and she was always off for long walks or something.
"So, we need to do research to find out what this stuff is for." Ron told them.
They nodded.
But what they didn't know was that Hermione was stood right outside there room listening to there whole conversation. She snuck away down the hallway silently.
She slipped into the bathroom and grabbed a bag from the back of the door and slung it out the window. She then stepped onto the ledge and threw herself off it.
Like a cat she landed on her feet in a crouch silently.
She then slunk into the woods by the Wealsey's property.
But even with her heightened senses she didn't she the curtain of Ron's bedroom window fall back into place.
Back in Ron's room, Harry moved to sit down on the bed.
"I wonder where she's going." He murmured.
Luckily for Hermione they didn't see her jump from a second story window, or she'd have some explaining to do.
Hi, the things in bold below are what my mate Alice thought should have happened:-
"So, Ginny what did you find out?" Ron asked his sister.
"Ron, I found out you are really a girl!" Ginny declared.
"OH MY GOD! How did you find out?" Ron screeched.
