   An A.S is an Animal Speaker. Animal Speakers are rare, and I don't know anyone other than me that is one. Obviously, we can talk to animals. We used to be considered "miracles of nature". Now we're considered "freak mutants". I'm no longer special, now I'm a criminal. Tabatha made it illegal for A.S to be born. I'm already here though. If you have an A.S you have to either disown them so they can be a community slave, or "donate" them to her so she can most likely kill them. If you choose to donate you get paid.              "Breakfast" mom called. I got out of my bedroom for food. We all sat down and ate in awkward silence.
   "We have to be sure the house is clean and we're wearing our best. Tabatha is coming today." Dad broke the silence. I stared at the floor. She was coming to collect A.S. Or have them changed to community slave. I looked up, anxious.
   "What are you gonna do?" I whispered. "We love you very much", was all mom said. If they donated me, they got money. "Is Clarity gonna leave us?" Casper asked, his 5 year old eyes wide. Cara ran up and hugged me. "Don't leave us!" She cried. I got up. "I'm going to Kelsey's. I'll be back for lunch." Lunch was when Tabatha would come.
   When I would have to say goodbye.
