OK first off I am very sorry that I have not updated in a while but I was kinda busy and was stuck on where to go with this story. I was about to discontinue this story but with the help of my new co-author toe walker (Yay!) So yeah, thats about it. Enjoy the story!

Rachel POV:

Percy and I slowly made our way through the forest. At what we guessed was night-time we usually camped out in the trees to avoid the dogs. And during the day we moved further away from them.

I looked at Percy who was currently trying to catch a fish in the river that we had stopped by. The collar around his neck gleamed in the artificial sunlight. I remember when I had seen it and asked Percy what it was.

~flashback~

Percy and I were sitting down gasping for breath. We had just had a close encounter with the robot dogs and were exhausted from running for so long and so fast. I studied Percy closely for the first time. We really hadn't had much time to talk to each other since the dogs were always chasing us.

He looked about the same as he did before other than the fact that he had ears, a tail, and deadly sharp fangs. "So what exactly did they inject you with?"I asked him after I had caught my breath. He looked at me and said, "I could ask you the same thing." I nodded before saying, "Let's make a deal. I will tell you what I was injected with if you tell me what you were injected with."

Percy sighed and said, "I was injected with Clouded Leopard, Jellyfish, and Porcupine DNA."

I stared at him incredulously "You're kidding right?"

He shook his head before he closed his eyes and began to glow. Literally. He opened his eyes which were now glowing a luminescent green. He smiled at my expression. His teeth were unnaturally white. The effect was eerie.

Then he stopped glowing and small spikes grew out of his arms. Porcupine. Then he unsheathed some claws similar to mine. Must have been the Leopard DNA.

"Your turn." he told me.

"Fox." I said unsheathing my own claws.

He nodded like he was expecting it. Although he seemed kind of surprised that I had claws. His hands came up and fingered with a collar that I just now noticed around his neck. He pulled at in in obvious discomfort. "What is that?" I asked frowning.

He looked up as if just now realizing that I was still there. "What?" He asked. I sighed.

"What that around you neck?"

"Oh, that." Percy says, Shifting slightly. "It's an electric collar."

"A what?"

"Electric collar." Percy repeated softly.

I stared at Percy in shock. Why in the world was there an electric collar on him? Then a thought occurred to me.

"Did they ever use it?"

Percy's face was answer enough. I gasped. "Don't worry about it." Percy said, "C'mon lets keep moving. I nodded and we both got up and headed off again.

~flashback end~

So far it hadn't caused any problems but I knew that it made escaping just about impossible. When Percy was sleeping I sometimes inspected the collar just to see if there was a way to turn it off. So far I haven't been able to figure anything out.

Percy suddenly lunged into the water and came back up holding a fish triumphantly. I rolled my eyes at his animalistic behavior. Then again, he was part animal now so I guess that was understandable. But I I was to, so who was I to judge?

"Nice job. Although it took quite a while." I said with a smirk.

Percy snorted "Like you could do any better."

He tossed me the fish. I caught it and looked at him in confusion.

"Aren't you going to eat it?" I asked him.

He looked at me with a you've-got-to-be-kidding look. "You expect me to eat it?"

"Well...yeah." I said, confused.

"I don't eat fish." he told me, "you wouldn't either if you heard tiny plea's of 'please don't eat me' in you head every time you try to take a bite."

I couldn't help it, I started laughing. "What's so funny?" Percy pouted.

"Does that really happen to you?" I asked him.

"Yes! And it is not funny!" he said indignantly.

"Whatever you say~"

Percy growled and lunged at me playfully. I shrieked and started to run. We chased each other in circles for a while before both collapsing on the ground breathing heavily. I looked over at Percy and saw him frowning at the ceiling above us.

"What's wrong?" I asked him.

He looked over at me and asked, "You ever think we will see camp again?"

I stared at him. I wanted to tell him that of course we would and that we would escape but I knew that the chances of escaping were next to nothing so I kept quiet. He sighed, got up and said, "We should keep going." I nodded in agreement.

We walked for what seemed like hours until we came to a wall with a door. Percy and I looked at each other and a shared understanding seemed to pass between us. We both reached to open the door and walked in. It was a plain white room with a small black window on the left side.

I looked over to ask Percy what he thought this place was but he was pale and frozen in place. He must have recognized this place. "Percy?" I asked trying to snap him out of his daze. I heard the door open behind us and spun around to see who it was. It was the mean scientist lady. I hadn't ever talked to her but I had seen her around before.

"Steve." I heard Percy mutter. I looked at him strangely but then brushed it off. At least he was back to normal again.

"Hello! How are you feeling?" the lady asked. Percy growled and the lady smiled. "Wonderful! I am glad to tell you that you passed our test and now it's time to go back to you crates." She said clapping her hands. Some erasers came in and grabbed us before dragging us into a room filled with dog crates. They threw Percy and I into some empty ones and walked out.

OK so I'm gonna leave it at that because I really don't want to do a POV switch.
