CHAPTER 1 ~ The Begining

I walk into the hair salon as usual. Melenie is there ready for me. "What kinda style do you want today?" she asks cheerfully.

"Just straightened today." I reply.

"Oh? Nothing fancy?"

"Nope, I'm going to be outside in this Oklahoma wind all day." I laugh.

"Allrighty then." she giggles.

she straightens my hair and i wave goodbye as i head for my friends car. I'm only 14 so i cant drive yet but Rasha is 20 and has been driving for a while.

Rasha is tall and beautiful. She has silky, shoulderlength brown hair, glowing emerald green eyes, and perfectly tanned skin. She is usually cheerful and easy going but she can be very scary when she gets mad! I speak from experience.

I on the other hand, have naturally curly hair that does not like me. it is hard to keep it untangled so i usually just have it in a pony-tail. it goes a bit past my shoulders and is a dark chocolate brown. My eyes are the same color and my skin is fairly tan but nothing like Rasha's. She is always telling me that i'm beautiful. I guess she's right. But i don't see it yet. By the way, my name is Samantha Brooks.

We got to the family reunion just before noon. There were tons of people there! There was lots of food on the tables near the lake and a huge playground right next to us.

We ate, talked, went for a walk by the lake then jumped in and got soaking wet. We messed around on the playground till we were dry then headed for home.

We sat at a 4-way intersection and waited for the light to turn green. It turned and we started to cross when a small truck ran a red light and chrased into us! We spun and hit a light post.

I wake up to see a strange man standing over me holding an empty needle. My arm is throbbing and move around a bit to try and get comfortable. Thats when he notices i'm awake. He drops the needle and runs out the door, knocking Rasha over on his way out.

Rasha huffs and stands up. "Who was that?" She growls.

"Dunno." I mumble. My head has started to hurt and my vision has not focused yet so everything is still blurry.

"Well, forget about him. How are you feeling?" she asks.

"My head hurts."

I hear Rasha gasp.

"What?"

"N-nothing." She answers, "I'll be right back." Rasha leaves and the pain in my head continues to worsen.

Suddenly it feels like domeone is stabbing my forehead in two different places. "Rasha! Ahhh!" I scream. "Rasha!"

Rasha busts into the room with several nurses and the doctor behind her.

"o-oh no." she whispers.

"Make it stop! It hurts!" I plead.

No one does anything for several more minutes. They just let me lay there screaming. I can hear Rasha crying and begging the doctor to do something but he dosent. Finally the pain lets up and my vision starts to return. I can see several people but Rasha is sitting right next to me.

"What happened?" I ask weakly.

"Y-you have horns, a-and your ears changed too." Her voice is weak. She lifts up a small mirror in front of me. Her hands are trembling but i can see the two long horns jutting from my forehead. My ears are like a wolves.

CHAPTER 2 ~ Change

I healed rapidly, much faster than any human. They said it probably had to do with my recent transformation. Within a week i was back to normal. Well, as normal as any mutated girl can be.

I had just noticed an unpleasent smell when the doctor walked into the room.

"Are you ready to get out of here?" He asked cheerfully.

I wrinkled my nose, the smell was getting stronger.

"Sam?" Rasha waved her hand infront of my face,  "Earth to Sam!" She called.

"Huh? What?" I snapped back to reality, "oh, sorry." I said with a smile.

"Are you ready to..." Rasha started to say something but the door opened and a wave of nausea hit me as that horrible smell became overpowering.

"You!" Rasha jumped out of her chair, "You ran into me the other day. Literally!"

The man pushed her aside and headed towards me. He smelled of death and poison. I cringed as he leaned over me. He put his head beside mine, "You are comming with me." he whispered. I heard Rasha gasp and the doctor yell as the man revealed a hidden needle.

A needle! This was the man from before! I fought against the urge to throw up as i turned and kicked him in the chin. Jumping down from the bed and looked around. Sure enough the needle from that first day was still there.

I read the lable as the man stood up. "REACTOR" was printed in plain black in the side of it.

"Give me that!" He yelled as he lunged towards me.

I tried to dodge but he caught me by the arm and stabbed me with the needle he was holding. Everyone seemed to freeze,the room grew quiet and time slowed down.

This time my back felt as if it were going to break right out of me. I collapsed to the floor I whined a bit. I tried not to yell this time because i knew what was going on. I was mutating again.

The man stood over me and kicked me when ever i started to cry. He looked quite satisfied with me pain, or maby it was because i wan changing some more? Whatever the case I hated him and anything assocaited with him.

Finally! The pain had stopped. I stood up shakily and looked at my back. My spine had evtended an extra 15 vertebrae. meaning it was about half as long as i was from my hips to my neck. covering this extra length of spine was a thick layer of muscles, skin and fur. at the tip of this tail was what looked to be an ax.

I swung my tail a bit and realized this would be a huge help to me.

"Hah! I've got it!" He roared in laughter, "Just add reactor "X" and it'll be a sucess!"

(Good!) I thought to myself. (He isn't paying me any attention.) I smiled and smashed the flat side of my ax into his stomach, sending him flying into the wall.

"Sam?" Rasha asked. I could hear the fear in her voice.

"It's allright." I replied confidently. "I have everything under controll." never once taking my now yellow eyes off of that horrible man.

I pressed the blade of my ax against his neck.

"What do you want from me?" I demamded.

He glared at me. "You are mine." he said.

"What does that mean?"

"It means you need to come with me."

Ok, i'll admit it. He had caught my curiosity and i wanted to everything. "Where would we go if i came with you?"

"Home."
