Modified: How It All Began (ORIGINAL)

6. Enhanced Growth And Senses

The aroma of spaghetti bolognese fills my nostrils as I sit up and rub my eyes, I blink around the room and notice that there is no food, I get even more confused when the smell gets stronger but there Is still no food.
Then the door opens and in comes the food with Dr Crewe, I stare in disbelief as she sets the plate beside me, she gives me a confused look as I stare at the steaming bolognese in front of me, I feel the familiar injection then hear her leave.
I blink as I remember Dr Crewe first telling me when I asked why I was here,
We expect just sensual changes
That means senses right? So hearing, smell, sight and taste, right? I close my eyes as I curse under my breath.
I begin to eat and decide to try to keep my senses a secret along with my claws as it's probably wise to do so.
Well, so it seems as though I've got the sharp hearing of a cat I don't know about the night vision yet because the light in my room is never off, I don't know about the sharp vision of a bird yet as nothing exciting has happened for me to follow.
I then started to think about the physical characteristics of the two, I've got the wings of a bird, the tail of the cat, I think about a pointed cats ears so I smooth my fingers along my own to find them normal.
Then I think to their eyes and how their pupils are like ovals, I stand and make my way over to the mirror, my mouth drops as my eyes have noticeably changed, my pupils has elongated into slits just like a cat, I also noticed that my pale green eyes has brightened in colour to almost look like sparkling emeralds, I hope I've got night vision.

I sit back on my bed as I think of the possibilities I'll be able to do once I'm fully grown, would I be able to jump wall from wall like Catwoman? Or fly about the sky like a raptor, probably not since I'd more or likely have a wimpy set of wings, the thought disappoints me as I may as well have something good come out of this kidnapping and keeping me captive against my own will business.

I decide to colour to pass the time when I hear the familiar set of footfalls, I quickly avert my gaze down to the colouring book as I carry on colouring to not give off any hints that I can hear, smell and see better. I look as Dr Crewe enters and waits at the door for me, I unwillingly get up and follow her out of the room and to the table, I'm laid down again and they begin to prod around at my exposed wings and tail, they begin to take their notes with hushed whispers of spoken thoughts as I look up to see Dr Crewe come over with three needles this time, I watch in concern as she flicks a needle and hovers over me, I go still as I feel the needle penetrate the skin at the base of a wing, she then repeats with the other wing when she retrieves the third unwanted injection, she then goes to my tail, I grit my teeth as she injects it at the base of my tail, my words spill out as she bends up right,
"What you doing that for?" I ask concern lacing my voice.
"To speed up growth" she simply says not even giving me a once over, I watch as two other people in white robes go off to one side giving me second glances,
"Is the new enclosure ready?"
"Nearly ma'am"
"Good" they begin to disperse giving me curious looks along the way,
Enclosure?
They are treating me like an animal.
She stands me up as I feel anger seeping into my veins, I clench my hands to stop me from doing anything that could ruin any chance of escape.
Dr Crewe pulls me into my room and shoves a plate of food onto my bed then leaves, as the quietness settles in I can hear a distinct dripping sound, I look down as blood is slowly dripping from my clenched fists, I make a sour face as I slowly open them and my nails retract back into my nail beds.
Better get rid of the evidence, I run my hands under the tap and quickly dry them over my shirt, I then quickly run my foot over the blood spots on the floor smudging them away. As if nothing happened.
I check myself over in the mirror and find my wings slightly bigger and all the joints Are now fully formed, I check my tail to find that it has grown a lot since the last I looked at it, I take the end of my tail and pull it around me, I'm surprised that it can reach over both legs, wow it's long.
I can move my wings in all places but if I move them too much they start to ache same with my tail, so I try to keep them limp, with my wings sagging against my back and my tail bouncing against the back of my thighs, it seems as though they grow alloy more in my sleep.
I colour my time away as I start to get unbearably tired and give in to the forgiving warmth of my blanket

I'm wake up as my back is almost painfully itchy, I blink myself awake and take myself in front of the mirror and I'm horrified when I find the start of what seems like the itchy pin feathers scattered around the base of my wings, it follows down my spine and to the base of my tail.
I hang my head as it's only going to get itchier from here.
