Encounters

TW: Mild description of injuries

A/N: THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH, HOLY CRAP!!! YOUR SUPPORT MEANS THE WORLD!!!! 

"PPPHHHIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!! TECHNO'S CHASING ME!!!!" Tommy screams as he runs down the stairs, his (unofficial) older brother hot on his trail.

"I told him not to mess with my stuff, he messed with my stuff." The pig hybrid states, matter of factly.

"Tommy, apologize. Techno, leave him alone."

"WHAT?! I'M NOT SAYING SORRY!! HE NEARLY KILLED ME, PHIL!!!"

The eagle hybrid scoffed, "Techno?"

"Yeah?"

"You have my permission to commit first degree murder." He turned to Tommy, "I suggest you run." The chicken hybrid didn't need to be told twice, as he bolted out the front door as fast as his legs could carry him.

Chuckling lightly, Phil watched from the window as Tommy used a combination of short flights and running to gain ground. Techno soon gave up chase, though the younger didn't seem to notice as he continued to sprint away.

"How long do ya think until he notices?" The pig says as he comes inside.

"I dunno, mate, maybe five minutes?" They both laughed, "You hungry?" Phil asks, gesturing to the sandwiches on the table. Techno nods, sitting down.
"PHIL!!!! GET OVER HERE!!!" The silence was interrupted by Tommy yelling. Sighing, Phil got up, waving Techno down when he attempted to do the same.

"I got it, mate." Trekking outside, he was met with quite a sight. There were two teenagers, both hybrids. One was probably a cat, with ears and a tail visible. The other's features were a bit more subtle, with just fins on the side of his head, maybe a fish?

"Holy shit." They both looked terrible, the cat had a black eye and noticeable bruises lacing her arms. The boy was worse though, he had burns covering most of his body, and looked close to passing out. "Are you guys OK?" Phil asked, reaching towards them, only for them to shrink back.

Turning to Tommy, he got the hint and started talking, "I found them over by the lake." he said, shrugging.

"Who are you." That was the cat, her voice was hard, accusatory.

"I'm Phil, that's Tommy." The eagle answered. "What's your guy's names?"

The cat paused, glancing at the boy, "I-I'm Niki, th-that's Wilbur."

"OK," Phil's gaze flicked to the sky, it was getting late. "Do you want to come inside? It's getting dark."

Niki turned to Wilbur, and the boy did a couple movements with his hands, and she nodded, "OK." She answered cautiously. Phil nodded, gesturing for them to follow. They trailed after him awkwardly, keeping as close together as they could. What the fuck happened to them? He knew that hybrids didn't have it easy, they were often treated unfairly, frequently getting blamed for things they had never even heard about. But this? They were kids for fuck's sake.

Wilbur's body was getting heavier and heavier, with each step Niki found it harder and harder to keep him upright.

"Hang in there." she whispers, "We are almost to the house." Will managed to nod, saving his energy for walking. Hopefully this isn't a trick. Finally, they made it up the steps to the front porch. Phil opened the door, motioning for them to walk through. They hesitated for only a second, before complying.

Inside, they were met by yet another hybrid, a pig this time.

"Who are you?" his voice was monotone, almost emotionless.

"This is Niki and Wilbur." Phil answered for them, "Niki and Wilbur, this is Techno." The cat hybrid nodded, still standing there awkwardly. Be careful. Don't trust anyone. You have no defense. Get out of here. Go back to the facility. It's safe there. You are just a monster...

Wilbur snapped her back to reality when he nearly collapsed. Gasping, she quickly righted herself, so she was holding most of his weight. Phil started towards her, and she quickly stumbled back. Don't let them get you. Holding his hands up, he stepped away, giving them some space.

"Here, you guys can sleep on the couches over there, if you want." He offered, moving so the path was clear. Cautiously, she made her way over. Wilbur faltered a bit, before setting himself down on the couch. Niki was quick to follow. 

My computer is about to die, that's nice. Hope you have a great day/night!
