What you last saw on the last chapter
I quickly jumped back to a branch and got ready to run then jump. I positioned myself to line up to my target about 12 to 14 feet away. I ran and once I took the jump I heard another growl like it was right behind me. during the jump I felt like it was slow motion the tree leaves slowly fell under me and some animals dazed at the full moon as it appeared from the clouds.

And let me tell you, IT. WAS. FREAKIN'. SCARY.

I just barely landed on a branch then sighed of relief. There were a few howls from wolves and coyotes but they were calming unless you count the animalistic growls behind me. I checked if there was any objects I could use to get Victor off my trail but unfortunately there was nothing around, So i made the next best choice and quickly climbed down the tree then started to run. At first I had no idea were I was going but then I remembered one of my many missions for Stryker.

Flashback
I look outside the old window of the R.V. that Stryker undoubtedly put me and my team in. Although the R.V. looked nice on the outside, it was a junk on the inside, no heater, no air conditioner, and no Wifi.

I could tell fall was here from the orange and yellow leaves outside but I still couldn't figure out what month it is. You see, I've been stuck in a cell for months training and training but never let outside, I can't ask my team because they don't talk no matter what. So I'm sitting in an old R.V. looking out a window like an idiot...

I sighed inwardly then turned to look out the other window to see if there's anything that could help me figure out what month it was, untill I saw a sign ahead with the name 'Arby's'.

I smirked and thought how good a roast beef sandwich would be (even though I never had one). I sighed and sat down giving up on the search of what month it was 'it has to be around september' I thought and closed my eyes for a so called 'cat nap'.
End Of Flashback

I ran through the forest and it was giving me a feeling of deja vu. I knew I left Victor in the dust and I wouldn't be seeing him anytime soon. I kept running untill I saw an old restaurant ahead. I slowed down to a walk and walked over to the old restaurant. By now I could see the run down Arby's restaurant. I looked at the sign and it was missing a few letters like a B, A, and Y.

I looked around and saw a few trees but one of the trees had a familier marking on it. I walked towards a tree and once I was close enough to see the markings clearly. I mentally groan 'I knew this was going to be a bad day' I thought as I studied what was on the tree more. Three claw marks were on a the tree, and I know that they couldn't be some type of animal. Sap is still flowing out of the tree and i can tell it was less then 3 hours ago that this mark was made.

I volt out my claws and looked to see if there was a tree nearby. I saw a tree maybe 5 yards way and scratched the bark to see if the marks were the same. I stepped back to compare the two separate marks and exactly at that moment, I swear my face paled. All my hope washed down the drain to see that there were no differences accept my claw marks were almost an inch smaller. I soon found myself saying the two words I never wanted to hear or say again.

"Weapon X" I whispered in disbelief.

At that moment I actually had an emotion, let alone the emotion that I was raised not to have, fear. I retracted my claws and before I could even process what voice i heard and that I never wanted to hear in my life

"What's a kid doing out in a cold forest at 1:00 in the morning?" The southern accent was clear in the mans voice.

I never realized it was cold but now that I think of it it it was a little chilly.

"Can't a girl go for a walk in the woods once in a while?" I asked trying not to give away much but it was too late, what would a 10 year old be doing in the middle of a huge forest, alone, and no campsites around for miles.

I turn around to see a man that had dark brown hair, brown eyes, tan skin and looked like he was the mid-fourties.

"Not alone, and especially at age of... 9?" He tilted his head when he guessed my age.

"Close 10" I corrected him

"Then were's your folks, kid?" He asked with confusion clear on his face.

I started to walk away knowing I couldn't get out of this conversation. I could hear running behind me like someone was trying to catch up with me, so I started to run. I was pushing myself to go to New York City, it's the best chance. Hours later I lost him. The dark, yet bright streets of New York were never empty. I'm going to take a chance. Lose all contact with all people untill I know it's safe and untill that I enjoy freedom and have a life. A free life.
