Project Wolf Fang

"Fang... Fang," said a distant, feminine voice.

Fang stirred from where he lay, ignoring the distant voice that echoed in his head.

"FANG!" screamed the voice in his hear.

Fang got up with a start. "Shit I'm up!" he replied in an angered voice. He looked around and saw that he was no longer in the white room he had seen just the other day. Now he was in a dark room, no longer under the supervision of the lab coat men. He noticed that he lay on top of what appeared to be an enlarged dog bed. "Where am I?" he muttered to himself.

"Over here," exclaimed the voice.

Fang looked around the room before his eyes settled on the source of the voice. It was a wolf with long, flowing, light brown fur that moved with the unseen air. He also noticed that the wolf was feminine in physique. She was slightly smaller than he was, but was still very large for a wolf.

"Good morning sleeping beauty," said the female wolf to him.

"Who are you?" asked Fang as he stretched himself before getting up on his feet. He looked at the female wolf with curiosity. "And how did you get in here? And why can you talk? And why are you a wolf and not a human? Wasn't I the only one with these genes?"

"Whoa, hang on there," interjected the female wolf. "Enough with the rapid fire. My name is Shahara. I got in here because I was given access specifically to this room. And I am a wolf and not a human because I requested to be part of this project."

"Huh, what are you talking about? The project only started yesterday."

"Well, breaking news! You have been out cold for more than a week!" said Shahara, then added in a sly tone. "I have been watching over you all that time."

"That's completely not disturbing in any way," replied Fang sarcastically. "And how was I out for a week?"

"You're meat was spiked. You were supposed to sniff it out, so that means that you have failed the first test."

"Oh..."

"Well then, now that we have made each other's acquaintance, it's time for us to go out to the training yard," said Shahara as she turned and walked over to a wall. She lifted up a paw and pushed against a small scanner. Immediately, a hole big enough for them to go through opened up on the wall. "Well then, are you coming or not?"

"I'm coming," said Fang as he followed close behind Shahara. He stepped out onto an immense hallway, each side containing similar wolf doors. He saw Shahara walk down the hallway, then turn right to an area that read 'Training Yard'. "Wait up!"

Fang ran towards the corner, nearly smashing against a black wolf with white streaks on the turn.

"Hey watch it!" exclaimed the wolf as Fang passed him.

"Sorry!" replied Fang as trotted up behind Shahara. He saw her open a large steel door before turning back to him.

"So, are you ready for training?" asked Shahara as the steel door began to slowly, rays of daylight creeping through the ever wider gap.

"I guess I don't have a choice," replied Fang.

"Well then. Say hello to Project Wolf Fang's training yard."

The door fully opened. A large training yard was sprawled for miles on end. Hundreds of different wolves off all shapes and colors were training in a different variety of combat situations. A whole platoon of them ran past Fnag in formation.

"This is Project Wolf Fang," stated Benseti awestruck.

"At it's best," continued Shahara. "The program has only been up for a week and we already have more than two hundred wolves nearing their training. Every day we get more and more new recruits."
