Subject 5

We went to this reptilian's dorm whatever that was. I think it is some kind of living quarters. We went out into this nice place far better than the place I was at. There were trees and I was scanning the trees for one of the other four. No sign of them, I know my leaving won't go unpunished. I have seen tall buildings in pictures but this was the first time in real life.

We entered in through the glass doors and went to the stairs. We then proceed up the stairs. We got to the second floor and headed down a long hallway. She then made an odd turn towards one of the doors and tried it. It was locked, she produced a key and unlocked the door and disappeared inside. Still waiting for them to show up I waited a few seconds. Then she came and grabbed me and pulled me in as best she could. I then quickly took a look at the contents of the room; there were no lethal objects that could hurt the other four.

"So do you have something you want me to call you," Lark asked.

"Well everyone else just calls me 5," I replied honestly.

"Alright, Five it is then. I'm fine with that, I don't have a first name either," she replied.

"Did your parents sell you as well," I asked.

"Maybe, not really sure, I never knew them, all I have is a locket with my name on it. And I don't even know if I got it from my parents, maybe I found it. But I've used Lark as my name ever since," she replied.

"Well at least your parents had the decency to keep you for a while or leave you anything," I replied.

Shrugging her shoulders she said, "Isn't much of a difference. I have no memory of anything but the streets. From the sound of things at least you always had food. I sometimes went days or weeks without food, only water, because water is free."

"Sounds tough, I'd of killed for it. Where I was I had thousands of things stuck in me at one point or another and got so many broken bones I can't remember what I broke," I replied

"I'll give you that I nearly did a couple of times, but i couldn't follow through so I stole things, it's harder to kill someone than most people think, don't know about breaking bones, I didn't really worry about pain so long as I got to eat, that hurt more than anything else," she said.

"Killings easy getting over it is hard. I restrain myself, something they didn't want me to do," I replied.

"From what others say of the feelings that follow I don't want to learn to get over it," she replied.

"I've seen what it does to people; I know four others just like that. They are horrible monsters. Do you know who they are," I blurted out.

Shaking her head she said "Nope, nothing good comes of knowing anyone like that, monsters can pretend but in the end they're still monsters, and monsters always want more blood."

"They bought me almost as soon as I was born for a million dollars. They then took care of me till I was old enough to train at the age of four. Then they started putting in experimental serums into my body which turned me into this. And they also taught me every form of martial arts. They then trained me in anatomy to make me a more efficient killer. I also went through stealth training, god that was the worst year and a half had to steal all of my meals," I explained.

Using her tail she grabbed a cup pulled a beer out of the fridge, simply piercing the cap with her nail she poured it in and drank a sip of it before saying "To be honest I'm not surprised, our government is disgusting, they complain the economy is crashing and they're spending money on trying to create the perfect killer."

My stomach started rumbling, I reached into the pack and grabbed another ration, chicken; great, just great. Deciding not to eat it I asked, "Hey you got any food, these things taste terrible."

Nodding she started grabbing things from all over the room in different cabinets. Telling me to get a big pot in a cabinet she pointed to with her tall I put it on the metal next to her and she started putting different things into the pot in front of her. Then I watched her prepare the meal for the next thirty minutes. Lark told me it was Mediterranean spaghetti. She then handed me a plate with it and a fork.

"What's this," I pointed at the sauce on top of it.

"Romanian tomatoes with a red olive oil, and a bit of parsley, also known as sauce," she replied quickly.

I looked at it for about two seconds considering if she was trying to poison me. Then I decided she seemed nice enough so I stuck a fork in it and lifted the food up to my mouth and when the food entered my mouth there was an explosion of flavor. It was the best food I had ever had. I then gulped the rest of the mean down ravenously. "Good food," I said after a couple minutes. Offering more Lark didn't eat more than a plateful herself.

After the meal was over I said, "That was the best meal I've had in my entire life."

Grinning she said "You're welcome, I'm glad someone can eat more than a plate around here, I get sick if I eat more." Thinking for a sec she said "Where do you want to sleep?"

"Well I'll just sleep outside, if I'd be interfering around here," I replied.

"No, I'm just wondering if you want the couch or the sleeping bag, floor if it'll make you feel better, I felt better sleeping on the floor for about 3 months," she offered.

"Well I've slept on worse than the floor. At the facility I slept on the trash pile for a month," I replied.

Laughing she said "Slept in the dumpsters for a year, I know what it's like to sleep with the trash, did you have to check every morning to see if they're getting rid of it that day?"

"No, but every night there was the possibility that they would start the incinerator. Lucky me the pilot light was out that month," I said.

Shrugging she said "Couch or sleeping bag, I'd offer to share the bed but it's a single, barely big enough for me," she said.

"Sleeping bag," I replied.

Going to the closet she grabbed a sleeping bag and spare pillow. Opening the bag with her arms she dropped the pillow into my arms with her tail. I then sat down and undid this stupid bun that I have been wearing far too long. My long black hair fell down around my head. It felt so good, all those years of oppression my hair can finally fall where it's supposed to. "Oh, that feels so good," I said. Then her roommate walked in the door.

Looking at me the new lioness says "Where did you find your new friend this time, office, shelter, one of your old haunts, just tell me when you have her trust enough that she will let me give her a physical to see if she has any diseases," she says while walking through the room and grabbing the spaghetti Lark had put in a container on the counter.

"Believe me I'm in better condition than you," I told this new lioness.

Raising her eyebrow while putting the spaghetti in the microwave she said "You found one with spunk, is she a runner, has she told you. If she wants legal paperwork that her parents are abusive or some such we can afford another room mate, the school system will pay us a modest amount to take care of her. And I would like to do your blood work at some point even if you won't let me do a physical, papers tend to go through easier with blood work."

"My parents sold me to the government as soon as I was born. And I want freedom, that's why I came to this town. If you try to take me back to them I will find you and kill you," I said to this new lioness.

Taking the spaghetti out of the microwave and eating it with a fork she had grabbed she said "Great food as always, you really have to introduce me to that adoptive mom of yours sometime. Now, miss serious, you've probably got a number instead of a name, they offered to take me onto some government funded project about 4 years ago, million dollars a year paycheck, but I hate our government, and I rather enjoy collage students, so tell me, is Dr. Bradley one of the people you were working with?"Thinking for a second she said "Hmm, I guess I should say being manipulated by."

"No he's in the main facility I was in one of the daughter facilities. I was manipulated by some sort of disciple of his though," I replied.

Eating another bite of food she said "Alrigh, did they chip you or anything to track you, if they did do you mind if we do an x-ray to make sure you got the chip if you tried to get rid of it somehow, rather not have swat or the army come knocking on our door."

Interrupting Lark said "Um, what are you two talking about?"

Putting down her food Lauren walked over and put a hand on Lark's shoulder and said "Lark, sweetie, ask any questions you need in the car or after she answers all the questions I have, right now I'm trying to make sure we're safe." Turning back to look at me she said "An answer would be appreciated, I hate being made a liar."

"Well they put a global positioning system around my leg but I ripped that thing off. And as for the chip they put in my brain I used a taser on myself to at least solve the problem temporarily if they get me back they'll just reactivate it. Now I know you are concerned about those temporary things, but if they think me being gone is a big enough problem they will send the other four after me and once that happens I'll have to kill them or run," I replied.

Sighing she said "For the moment we're fine, they aren't likely to look for you here, and from the smell of things you aren't capable of being tracked, and don't mention yourself Lark, you still smell of streets because of how often you go there."

With that she poured the rest of the spaghetti down her throat and walked to the room behind me. She's smarter than she looks, I then felt at the back of my neck and rubbed my paw over the barcode they put on my neck. I then slipped the combat boots off, those things are just horribly uncomfortable, how do they do it. Damn these fatigues these things are just so bland compared to other things I've seen in my day here.

Walking over to Lark I looked down at the book she was studying intently and said, "Well the doctor seems pleasant, and the answer to problem 45 is 13."

"No, I'm sorry I couldn't do that but I can help you. I'll still sleep on the floor," I told her, "Hell if I got a problem wrong I got shocked."

Watching her I saw her thinking and she said "I'll teach you Japanese! Languages are easy, I started that one last week so it's still fresh in my mind."

In Japanese I say, "I thank you but they've taught me most of the main languages and several sub-languages."

In return she states in what is likely Latin "A shame, have you learned any of the ancient languages yet?"

I took the tablet and wrote in Russian "they did not teach me that or any of the other dead languages but I really wish they had." I then handed the tablet back to her and walked back over to the sleeping bag and put on my collar with the bells on it as well as on my tail.

Lark can still read it but she gives up for the time being and says "I'll find something to teach you."

"I'm sure you'll try," I responded.

"We'll see about getting something for you to do during the day tomorrow morning, Lauren, the doctor as you called her, will work on getting you adopted to us so the school doesn't have a problem with it."

"Whatever," I said, and laid down. As soon as my head hit the pillow I was out like a light.

Meanwhile back at the head facility...

Presidential order: Activate the other four and capture her or kill her. And activate number six.

That can't be good the LT. thought to himself but he gave the order none the less. The town of Rickersville was about to be changed forever...

The morning came and I woke up in a strange place. My first instinct was that I was being taken back to that place. I reached down my leg and got the knife out. I then jumped up and realized where I was. Behind me I heard "We didn't do anything to you, you're still in the dorm you fell asleep in last night."

"Sorry, it's just," I couldn't think of the proper word.

Laughing she yelled "Catch" and tossed something round towards me. "Lark made breakfast before she left."

I reached out and caught it, "Well what exactly is it," I asked fascinated by this object.

Grabbing one herself and taking a bite out of she said "Lark makes chocolate chip cookie pancakes for some reason, not really sure how she manages it, they're really rather delicious."

I examined the food more closely and said, "Well they look fantastic and smell fantastic, so they must be pretty good."

Leaning against the counter she eats another while watching me. I looked at her crossly. I then decided she wouldn't try to poison me. So I took a bite from the pancake and let the flavor sit in my mouth. The taste was almost as good as the spaghetti I had last night. All I could think was wow. "Damn that's good," I said. I then devoured it and got another one.

Laughing she said "At some point you'll stop thinking that Lark and I are trying to poison you, she'll keep cooking because she loves it, she tends to create odd monstrosities of overwhelming flavor, but they're delicious."

"I am sorry it is just I really can't trust anybody at this point," I said.

Shrugging she said "Pick a name, you'll need a new one, Lark's laptop is on the table in the corner if you want to use the internet to help you come up with one."

Walking over to the computer I asked, "How come Lark doesn't have wider shoulders?"

"She's a species based around dexterity and she's malnourished," Lauren replied.

"Well my species isn't exactly supposed to have wide shoulders, I guess it's the experiments," I said.

"Your species is normally fairly attractive, those experiments seem to have made you fairly masculine, and more like a male lion or tiger to be honest," Lauren said.

"What exactly do you mean by that," I asked.

Walking up me she stood right in front of me and said "Feel the differences in our bone structures on our face and shoulders."

I stood up and felt the bone structure and she was right it was almost completely different, "Well I know what you mean by that but just what exactly does it mean to guys in this society?"

Thinking for a second she held up a find and grabbed something out of her pocket. Flipping it open she dialed something and started talking "Hey, bro, yeah, I need some help with a patient of Lark and mine, yeah, if you could head over here that would be appreciated, Twenty, ok, see ya then."

"I found a name I like, Felicity," I said looking at the laptop screen.

Nodding she pocketed the device she had been talking to and said "Alright Felicity, my brother is coming over and I'm going to have you do the same process, I think it will help."

"What exactly do you mean by that? And you never answered my first question," I replied.

"It means you aren't pretty is the simple answer," she replied flatly.

"Well I have never been in a society like this where I came from we never out too much on looks not that I would know though," I replied, "do you think I could look pretty."

"You were in a lab; of course you weren't in a society about looks." Getting the door when there was a sound at it she said "Hey bro."

"Hey, who's the new guy you two are working with," Jeff said looking around Lauren's shoulder with something different about him.

"I am not a guy I am a girl," I said nearly on the verge of tears.

Putting a hand on my shoulder Lauren said "Sorry hun, if you'll excuse me for a sec I've got a brother to beat the crap out of." she said while throwing her brother out the door, who was smaller than her, almost Larks size.

"What, I'm sorry; you didn't tell me the patient was a girl! She looks ambiguous, what's that thing Lark said, androgynous," Jeff tried to explain her.

Sighing Lauren grabs his shirt and throws him at my feet saying "Care to do anything to him, I don't have the heart to considering that Lark told me not to beat the crap out of him when they met and he called her a guy," Thinking on it she said "She even took a punch for him, that girl is too nice for her own good, especially considering she grew up on the streets."

"No, I just don't want to be confused with a guy anymore," I relied.

Grinning she said "Yeah, we can fix you up, bro, go grab your makeup kit."

"Make up kit I thought you were here to give me a new identity," I said.

Smiling Lauren said, "He is, but we're going to get you looking like a girl first, that way the picture is like how you want to look."

"Well alright," I replied.

Walking back in lugging several big containers Jeff said "Ok, just makeup for now right?"

Nodding Lauren directed me to a chair with a mirror in front of it. Grabbing one of the boxes and putting it on the table next to the chair she said "Close your eyes." and turned the chair around and put something wet over my eyes.

Putting down the other box Jeff said "Why do you use zucchini instead of cucumbers, and where did you even find those, I could have sworn I ate them all last week."Opening the box next to me she said "I bought more, now hand me the lowlight dust in your blue box." and started dusting my cheeks with something.Sitting there I controlled my muscles that wanted to twitch and stand up. It took them hours and I heard a crunching at some point that I assumed was the zucchini being eaten. Eventually Lauren said "Open your eyes." and turned the chair to look at the mirror.

I looked into the mirror and see myself yet not myself at the same time all I could say is "Wow."

Grinning over my left shoulder Jeff said "Now she looks more like a girl, shame, teaching her the true meaning of men in bed would have been fun, maybe you can do that sis, but she looks good, I'll say that, just not my type, I do like her build if it just had different equipment."

Punching Jeff over my head Lauren said "I'm glad you're happy sweetheart, now Jeff, go get your stuff to make her legal, I'll get Doug to process the papers. After that we'll adopt her."

Coming back in with several things in his arms Jeff said "Ok, so who is adopting her?"

Setting up the camera for him Lauren said "You and me dork, Lark still isn't accepted as someone who can adopt someone. Now sit still Felicia, this picture is going to be used for everything we have to do, should only take a few hours after we get done, tomorrow we'll go and start adopting you."

The process took a few hours. An hour later Lark showed back up from class.Coming and dropping her bag on a chair Lark gets the fridge with her tail and looks over at me. Grabbing a beer and drinking half of it she says "How much did you spend on one makeover Lauren?"

"$564, we used some dyes and a couple compounds to help her have a more feminine face, her skin will grow in the same place as those compounds." Lauren responded.

Drinking the other half of it Lark says "Money well spent."

Watching it all Jeff says "I thought she only drank on weekends."

Shrugging Lauren said "its fine, her liver is in extremely good condition, and she's shocked that this is still the same fur she rescued."

Nodding Lark said "So when are you registering her for school?"

Laughing Lauren said "Care to go, the registration is tomorrow."
