Bio-Dragon

" My name is Dr. Samatha Johnson. I'm thirty-eight years old. Got two daughters. The oldest Carol is now seventeen and the other Marian is thirteen. My husband died four years ago in the accident that did this to me." I lifted my wings for the camera. " And yes I am a dragon. For lack of a better term. Master in Biology and two in Genetics and I can't come up with a better term for me. So many different genetic changes then the mutations. Perhaps I should start in the beginning. The date was October 22, 2009. At a location I do not care to remember I woke up and had a normal morning after three hours of sleep. My youngest not paying attention to me and my eldest not caring. After the bus took them to school I woke my husband and had a quickly. The closest thing to romance we get to anymore. Then we went to work. Threw the security gates like we always did and we went our separate departments. Mine is genetic splicing. His was cloning I think. All I know is it was one floor above mine. Today was an exciting day for me. We were splicing the genetic material of bird wings, a dog's nose and scent glands, lion's claws, excreta excreta. All to a commotto dragon egg. The goal was to make a real legend like European dragon. I was setting the proper genetic sequences in the splicer machine. I forget it's real name. Wasn't my job. What it does however is make any DNA in the blast area mutated into the set I was setting in. As I was doing so it was starting it's test run to make sure all the mechanical parts worked. I just finished and was about to get out of the blast area when an explosion from overhead happened. That was the last thing I remember in human form." I raised my head to the sound of sirens. " I have to be careful. It has only been a few months sense I escaped. It took me this long to find a waterproof camera and a temporary safe location." I smell something off and I turned off the camera.

It is three weeks later and I barely escaped. Whatever they were working on in my husbands department was a target of terrorists. When I came too the alarms were blazing and there was wreckage and dead bodies all around me. Some of them I knew. I tried standing upright but my limbs would not work right. I lost interest in that when I saw my dead husband. I thought I crawled to his body missing it's lower half. I reached for him and saw a claw. My claw. I started a tearless crying. It was some time later when I heard shouting. Military type shouting. I looked at the doorway and military personnel started entering the room. They did not notice me until I moved my head to face them. They crapped themselves or at least a few did. I did not care to notice as I looked back at my husband, licked my claw, and started making his hair look neat. After the ' What the fuck is that?' moment was over they took me as a threat. I would have welcomed death then but then one decided in saying. " Orders are to take it alive. Johnson Peters the left side." I ignored them until I buttoned my husbands lab coat. I do not know why I was making him look nicer despite him being dead and half missing. I blacked out staring at him. I was tranked. I don't know how many darts it took. I did not even feel them enter me. I do know it was not enough to keep me out. When I awoke again I was caged on a military transport truck. There were four soldiers with me I ignored the two talking about some woman and instead looked at the ones on the right. " If that is not a dragon then I do not know what is. I'll bet my full months pay it is." The conversation went like that for a while till one of them noticed I was awake. " Holy crsp it's eyes are open." That got the others attention. " We gave her enough tranks to put down a horse for a week." I stretched out my neck and looked sorry at them. " What in the world do you think it is doing?" the black guy asked. I stopped speaking to the camera and looked away before shutting it off.

I found the tracking device they must have shot me with last July. I hope they have fun searching the Atlantic ocean for it. A downside to what happened to me is... sssshhhhhhhhhhsssssshhhh! I deleted that I decided not to reveal too much about myself. Well after they messed around some one had the idea of pointing his gun barrel at me. I put my forehead right against the cage so I and the gun would touch. " Do you see that? As if it knows what it is and wants me to pull the trigger." I had a thought my head may be too thick so I opened my mouth in the same direction. One of them threw a chocolate bar on my tongue. I didn't know how hungry I was till then. I tried eating it but my body rejected the chocolate. I spit it out and the three of them started laughing at the forth. That is when I tried to talk. All that came out was a screech that sounded like a dogs growl. That caught their attention. I thought if I provoked them enough they would kill me so I started hitting my side against the cage. They pointed their guns at me ready to fire. I tried ramming the bars with my head but the only result them I got was making myself dizzy. After seeing me fail they relaxed again and one started singing some stupid made up some about the 104th dragon hunters. I laid back down again defeated. For the next half hour I guessed I got reacquainted with the limits of my body. Figuring out movements of my wings and tail mainly. As well as new and enhanced senses I did not comprehend. Then my enclosure. With my tail I started loosening the cage bars that were like pet cages. I was off the truck before they figured out what happened. I jumped out to my freedom and right into the truck that was following behind us. Destroying it's grill. I barely felt the impact against my body but I was free and determined to die. So I ran into oncoming traffic and figured a sixty mile an hour impact to my skull would do the trick. It turns out people generally try to avoid hitting things with their vehicles. Once I gave that up I noticed the four soldiers and a few others pointing their guns at me. My thoughts were what the hell might as well try. So I picked the black guy and started making any noise I could that sounded aggressive I took only two steps before he started shooting. So did the others. I felt the impacts thinking I will finally be joining my husband but it would not be. So I charged the black guy and grabbed the barrel of his gun and pointed it down my own throat. I heard the click. And tore the gun from his grip and took a fresh magazine from his vest. When I tried to put the two together I had bent the gun. I tossed them away and noticed I was growing tired. I flicked the darts off with my wings and took the black guys knife from his belt. I held it as far as I could from me then rammed it into my gut. The blade snapped off and went into his leg. My last conscious memory was me landing hard on the extra magazines for the black guys joy gun. That and one of them saying, " It looked like it was trying to kill itself, sir." I awoke again some time later back in the cage. Pad locks were added to the bars so escape was not possible again. Those same four yahoos cracking jokes at me. The black guy with a bandaged leg and an ice pack. I felt so horrible I started crying again. Made it highly vocal as well. They called it whimpering I call it crying. It was not long after that we arrived at an instillation. It was the last time I saw blue skies for some time." I look around and lick my chops. " Found my dinner. Be back in a few minutes." I turned of the camera.

When I turned it on again there was blood on my face. " Sorry found a stray dog. No collar so no master I've learned. To continue I was put into another research facility. Pain of unimaginable proportions I was brung there. Worse I knew the lead scientist personally from college. I decent fellow, especially to his girl chasing days. I think Dr. Morrison messed up with a rubber and children always changes things. His biggest flaw was that he loves to talk about his work while he works. They thought I was nothing more than a dumb animal. Idiot! Of course I would love che... shhhshhssss! Sorry bad wording. Me dragon and him meat. Human flesh is quite tasty but I only have had once and for being betrayed. Not because I was hungry. Getting ahead of myself some. Later for that. Well I was tested, scanned, chopped up, bled, and numerous other things. By the way, they called me Draky! That has to be the stupidest name ever. And he got it from a video game. Screw it. I wish I could give his but a good chewing out. There I said it. By the time they were done with all the tests they had for me I have given up trying to kill myself. Stop eating and they would throw whatever down my throat. Till they found a healthy mix of greens and meat balance. When my scales fell off and none replaced them I did almost succeed in killing myself. The sharp rock missed my vital organs my milimeters. Then they discovered me instinctively... shsssshhhhsshh! One of my weaknesses. Sorry. I learned everything they did from Dr. Morrison's talking and the monitors they never cared to hide from me. A sick joke and mistake to put me in a cave setting then after I healed from the self impaling I was put into a grassy area with a UV lighting system. By the time I was only watched and not listened to I started practicing using my second voice box. Sense they only had video and not audio. What really surprised me was that I cou... shhsssshhhssshshshs! You guessed it. Something else I do not want you to know. It took some time for them to notice my strange behavior. More than enough for me to master myself in audio ways. My attention was from dying to depression to finally freedom. I started becoming active. Learning to fly for example. Even caring about anything. I started growing stronger. I kept how much exactly from them as well. Closer to the end of my stay I became acquainted with one of the newer junior scientists. I liked him. He kept me entertained. I am sorry how I used him to escape as well. It started about a month before my escape in him seeing intelligence in me despite how hard I tried to hide it. It started with simple block puzzles in my meal boxes. I was bored enough to set it up and show the camera and put it back. Then harder and harder. By the time of my escape we were up to physics. Not my strong point. That is why I was a geneticist. As well as he had started entering my habitat. As I hoped after figuring out the first and final needed step of my escape. How to get out the first door. The precaution of a key card, audio code and number code was needed for my escape. I learned everything else by hearing the announcements over the coms every day. They really should have sound proofed my enclosure. The codes had not changed sense I learned it from a caretaker I had until I attacked him when he tried to pork me. Dumb inbred hick. Then the junior scientist started caring for me closely. Washing me and cleaning the bugs away from me. He tried many treats for me for doing well and the super salty crackers I liked best. The high sodium concentration I think. The day of my escape my body had completely absorbed the tracking devices implanted into me. I know because they were absorbed within a week of the first ones that they put into me and my next shots were later that week. The external devices I could easily remove on my own. He had a box of genetic puzzles and I decided to spend one last day with him. We... shhshssshssshhh! Sorry the camera battery died that time. I went on talking for an hour before realizing and I'm in a new location now. Every time I'm spotted I move locations. I have a few nests I migrate to for survival so I do not rely on one location to long. I'm surprised they have not figured out how I keep a step ahead of them. Or they know and waiting one day for the opportune moment to lease their best trap to date. Not that they have very much longer of looking for me. Yet I always make more escape plans. More contingencies when I run out of options. I make my freedom and survival my top priority. Well we had fun that last day and he stood with the box ready to leave. " Goodnight Draky. See you tomorrow." I decided that he deserved to know. " Goodnight." He dropped the box and turned back to me surprised. " Did you just talk?" I moved a little closer to him. " Yes." He was so stunned I was able to climb up his body and pick his id card in the process. " It took me a long time to learn. I have to admit for an assistant you are a caring one. I am sorry for doing this." Obviously a few people know how exactly how got out the door but I'm not telling. After seeing the door closed and the junior scientist locked in I started fleeing. I was on the ground floor lobby before the alarms even started going off. Multimillion dollar facility and they only had two rent-a-cops watching the entrance. Who were mindlessly scared to say the least. And very poor marksmen. Of course being two feet of the ground and even lower when moving made me an even harder target. I was out the front door before they had time to empty their guns. The moment I was in open air I tried to take to he sky but I have never had to deal with wind currents before and came to the pavement with a crash. My next attempt was a little better as I landed in dirt after going a bit further. After that I was quite successful. I stayed reasonably low in my opinion and landed on a house roof near an hour later. All my preparation was not going as well as I hoped and I was tired. I did not know the best way to fly back then. While I rested I start thinking. I started missing my children. Not to be with or live with them but to simply see them one last time. Possibly steal a momento. First thing I did after a few days of letting things cool down and the nets get thin is steal a laptop. It was not too hard but it revealed my location. In fact typing was the pain I had to deal with more than anything. Had to be careful not to break it. After some quick practice I got on an unsecured network and searched for my children. As I hoped with their uncle. Then I got directions. Just as I was about to shut it and abandon it the computer directed me to a new youtube video showing me. Less than an hour and already over 65,000 hits. Again if I had the ability to laugh I would have. I do not know how but I...."

psssssttttt....
