I stand there over the crumbled city. It is the year 3045. Most cities have been topled because of the fifth great war. World war three was not as bad as everyone thought. And four was a little rough, but the Americans survived. Soon after, the goverment started to take people to engineer them to be better so we may win next war. I am one of the experiments that the government has done. I am a mixture of animals. Most would call us shifters. But we are merely pawns for the government.

My name is Calina Smith.

I hear something on my right. Loud and irritating to my sensitive ears. I start walking that way adjusting my back pack. I hide in the shadows of the crumbled brick walls and look around the corner.

It's a shadow walker.

Shadow walkers are experiments gone wrong. The government injected and their body refused. Turning them into over grown black beasts. Simple as that. They look like a mix of all the land animals in one, all the fierce ones. Best thing is not to mess with it.

It looks like it's trying to get something in the building. I watch as it claws at the building making loads of bricks fall. Then i see a glimpse of a girl. Shes sitting at the bottom of the building in a ball.

She has blue-ish black hair. Long. She looks so skinny like she never eats. Shes shaking so bad. Probably the fact that it is 30 below. Yeah shes freezing and probably on the long road to hypothermia and death. She will probably get eaten by the shadow before hypothermia kicks in.

I shake my head comptilplating weither to save her from this big monster or let her die from freezing or getting eaten. One side of me says "oh hell to the fuck no! Don't mess with the shadow!" But then again the other side that she is still a kid and most likely die from hypothermia. While she is in my care. And if that so happens i do not wish to get attached to a girl that may die anyway.

I geuss I will save her. I shouldn't have a problem with attachment. I was taken from my mother at the age of 3 months. So i didn't have the chance to get attached. How do i know the because the doctor that worked on me told me my past.

His name was Sebastian, he had black hair, shortish. He was nothing fancy. But his green eyes when they light up because something intreeged him it would always make me smile. He help me out the facility I was in. Not soon after the government found him and shot him down. I hid and stayed low as I watch the guy that i loved and was very attached to get shot ruthlessly down.

My thoughts of Sebastian break when I hear someone scream. I look at it is the little girl. The thing has her by the arm. I rush into my form. A black furred wolf, with eagle wings and dragon talons. I attack it and it drops the girl to the ground. I look at her, shes loosing blood fast. I may just have to get her and fly off instead of kill this thing.

I make up my mind quickly and swoop down and pick her up. I fly off with her on my back. Shes laying there, as I feel the ice cold blood running down my fur. Ice cold? Blood is supposed to be warm. Maybe she is just that cold. Or is she and experiment? Time will only tell.

I fly is up and i find a small cave. I lay her down and fling my back pack. I grab my medical supplies and start fixing her. Once i have tended to her wounds i look at her.

"Look girl. I will be back just rest."

I go out and collect fire wood. And come back to her asleep against the cold cave wall. I shake my head. Place the fire wood and start the fire. I pick her up put her face and front half of her body facing the fire. I change into my wolf and cuddle to her back keeping her warm. I feel myself fall slowly into sleep.

I wake up to screeching. I stand and the little girl is still asleep. I walk out of the cave the sun isn't up. Meaning it's probably 4 in the morning. I hear the screeching again but this time it is so much closer. Then i get knocked back into the cave. I hit the wall with a thud and i slide to the floor. I shake my head and look up and I see a hand. A giant hand reaching for the girl. I run and bite its hand then i feel it's boney fingers wrapping around my ribs and crushing me.

(What do you all think? Should I continue? Voting and promoting will let me know! Please and thanks! ))
