Prologue

Character's Background:

The name of this character is Cosmo. Cosmo is a wolf with, what most people would call a "shady" background. First of all, Cosmo is a wolf with jet-black fur, besides a stripe of snow-white fur that runs down the entire length of his spine. On the outside, Cosmo looks as if he had lived a normal childhood; one that any fur would suspect of a normal child. But Cosmo...was no "ordinary" child. In fact, he was a genetic experiment; born from the test tubes of a scientific lab. It was an attempt to make a crossover of a bird and a wolf. Once he was born, they kept him in the lab for his childhood. His "childhood" consisted mainly of tubes, needles, blood and feather samples; from the wings he developed; and many other, usually painful tests on the poor cub. This mentally damaged the cub, and once this was realized, they threw him out into the cold, unforgiving streets. He was considered an outcast among society; a "mutt"; you may say. He is now the age of 24, and still roaming those streets, foraging for food in trash, and always wondering where his next meal will be.

Chapter 1

Cosmo was walking down the sidewalk, his head hung low; afraid to even catch a glimpse, of what he believed to be furs, silently judging him. He walked over to an alleyway; his usual foraging spot for food from the dumpsters.

He quietly opened the lid of one, and he started to dig through the rubbish. Once he finds nothing, he sighs, closing the lid, and walking off hungry once again.

" Oi! The hell you doing; rummagin' through my garbage! " yells the owner of the building. This causes Cosmo to spin around, and look at him.

" Looking for my next meal, sir...that's all I'm doing... " he says, staring at the man intently. The man scowls, as he walks up to him. " Now you stay off my fucking property, mutt! Or I swear, you're ass'll be in jail before ya know what hit you! " says the man between clenched teeth. Cosmo just sighs, and starts to walk away.

" You don't DARE walk away without answering me! " he yells, as he runs up, and strikes the pup down. He yelps in pain, being too weak to fight back from being deprived of food for so long. The man spits next to him, as he walks away, leaving the crumpled body laying in a puddle.

" Stupid mutt.... " he says under his breath,as he walks back into the building. Cosmo lays there for a while, being too weak to get up. But after some time, he hears some footsteps come near him, and he moans.

" Haven't you already taken care of me? " he says. There is no immediate reply; just a hand on Cosmo's shoulder.

" Ya need help, son? " asks an unfamiliar voice. Cosmo reluctantly accepts his help, and soon enough, he is back on his feet.

" Kid, you need a ride home? This don't look like your neck of the woods... " says the stranger, and the pup looks at his feet.

" I-I dont have a home...been livin' on the streets for as long as I can remember... " says the pup, staring down at his feet. The stranger just chuckles, and pats his back. " Well, you can spend the night with me... " he says, walking towards his car. The wolf is very concerned, but the thought of food and a warm bed take over his instincts, and he followed close behind.

They both hop into the the car, and the stranger soon pulls out. " So, what is ya name son? " he asks. Cosmo looks at the strange fox, and looks back down.

" W-Wasn't given a name...I go by Cosmo, through... " he says, and the man chuckles. They drive for a while. Man, this guy's house is far away., thinks Cosmo.

" So...I can tell you've been through some stuff... " he says, sighing a little bit as he says this. Cosmo looks even sadder, whimpering a bit as he nods.

" Well...I can help. You Want me to help? " asks the fox, looking at Cosmo. Cosmo gets a little angry, and he stares over at the fox.

" Now how the hell do you think you can help me, huh? Only thing iI could be helped with, is if i was given a fucking childhood! " he yells, slamming his fist on the armrest next to his seat. The fox looks sincere, as he looks up at the wolf.

" Well, that's what I'm gonna do... " says the fox, as he pulls into a driveway.

" Huh? " is all that Cosmo gets out, before feeling something very small, but sharp enter his arm. Within seconds, he becomes woozy. W-What the hell?, is the last thing Cosmo thinks before falling into an unnaturally deep sleep.

After what seems like an eternity, Cosmo wakes up, only to see that his hands are bound behind his back. He tries to claw at whatever bound his hand, but to no avail. He slumps into his seat, waiting. Fucker kidnapped me! I should've known better, thinks Cosmo. Soon enough, he sees the fox walk into the room, and Cosmo starts to go into a rage.

" What the hell are you doing with me, fucker? LET ME GO! " screams Cosmo, which only causes the fox to chuckle.

" Never had one as feisty as you...listen, I'm not here to hurt you, son... " says the fox, sitting down into a chair on the other side of the table.

" I ought to dig my claws right into your furry little eye sockets! " growls Cosmo, which makes the fox silence him.

" Now you shut up, because I do have the power to hurt you in more ways imaginable. Am I clear? " says the fox plainly, which scares Cosmo even more than his threat; his tone of speech. He quickly silences, whimpering a little.

" Now...you go by the name Cosmo, am I right? " asks the fox, and the wolf nods a bit.

" Ok...and you were born from....well, lets says you weren't born the conventional way...am I correct? " asks the fox, which causes Cosmo to completely break down, sobbing loudly. The fox sighs sadly, as he rubs his back. " Shh...you're fine... " says the fox, and Cosmo soon is calm enough to produce a nod.

" Ok...then I have the right man...so, you didn't have much of a childhood, you said? " asks the fox.

" Complete shit childhood....still remember the needles and tubes... " says Cosmo, with a slight shudder. The fox stands up, and paces a little bit. " Well, that's what I'm here for...to give you something you never had... " he says, which confuses Cosmo very much.

" Now how the hell do you propose ya do that? Get a fucking time machine, and steal me from that god-forbidden lab? " spits out Cosmo. The fox sighs, and Cosmo feels another sharp thing enter his arm.

" You will see soon..." he whispers, as Cosmo is soon back asleep.
