I was perched on one of the long support beams that showed because of collapsing celling. I looked down at the white and gray walls of the training room and watched as my group trained. The humanoid wolves known as the wolfdren where forcing the young teens to run and even fight one another. I hate training, but that's what you have to do when you work for Dr. Rufford. I had somehow managed to sneak up here without alerting the wolfdren guards and this is where I planned to stay until they where gone.

The wolfdren are known for their violent actions towards everything and everyone. When they make us train they're extra violent towards us, the young teens that Dr. Rufford kidnapped. None of us wants to be here but if we leave Dr. Rufford will kill our families and then he'll kill us. We all just try to survive the training while wishing to go back home, we just pray that someone will find us and take us back home. Well not everyone wants to go home because some of the teens want to work for Dr. Rufford and help him take over the galaxy. They weren't like that when they first got here, but they broke and lost all hope.

It's pretty sad to have people that aren't even twenty years old break down and become mindless drones working for the mutt that ruined their lives. I just try to avoid everyone because I've decided that it's better if I'm a loner. However it's not that easy to stay to myself because everyone seems to watch me and make sure I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. The guards and even the other teens just closely watch me when I'm around them. Sometimes they even look for me.

They only do this because my older brother is the Galaxy's greatest hero. Ratchet Evris, the lombax that has managed to save everyone except his little sister. Oh yeah, I just went there, but that's what happens when you feel like the only person you care about isn't even looking for you when you go missing for a whole freaking year. Maybe I shouldn't rant about that, I mean there's no way of knowing that this lab even exist because it's located within a large forest on the outskirts of a city known as Metropolis. Most people don't even know that this forest exist because of how large Metropolis is.

I sigh slightly while folding my large ears back. I want to get out of here and I want to help free all the teens that haven't broke yet. I don't like seeing the innocent suffer because of some pysco pathtic mutt. I don't want anyone to be chased by huge wolfdren and maybe even killed by the wolfdren, well besides those who do crimes and make others suffer.

As the training session comes to an end everyone leaves the room below making it a good time to leave my place on the support beam. I look just to make sure everyone is gone before I leap down from my support beam because the last thing I need is to be mauled by smelly wolfdren. I flip in the air before I hit the ground so my feet are facing downwards. I land perfectly on my feet like every time I leap from high up places. A slight smile came across my face because I felt accomplished. I had never skipped training and got away with it before.

I walked out of the room and into the hallway full of teens going and coming from the training room. I almost got trampled in all the chaos because of how small I am. I was born very frail and sickly, I'm also shorter than most lombaxs. I give a slight sigh of relief when I finally reach my room. When I slipped into the dark room I knew I was safe, well at least for now anyway.
