Chapter 1

Who am I? Why am I here? I opened my eyes to find myself inside a tube, suspended in the middle. I looked around and saw many wires leading out of my body, going up into places I couldn't follow. They hurt. I was hurting all over. I felt small in this thing. I was confused as to who I was.

"Doctor! She's alive! The process is finished!" I heard a female voice say. I looked over in the direction of the voice and saw two people standing near a monitor.

"Her vital signs have stabilized. We could release her later today after more monitoring."

"This is good, let's hope we don't make the mistake that our predecessors made." The person next to her commented. His voice was much deeper, that of a male's. What was he meaning? His predecessors? What mistake did they do? I had so many questions but there was no time to ask if they kept me in here.

"Put her to sleep so she can finish up. Our experiment here is done and on file." He said before walking out of the room.

"Yes doctor." The girl said. Put me to sleep? This isn't good. I don't like this. I don't agree with that at all. I want to get out and ask them questions about this place. I watched her punch a few buttons and one of the tubes on my arm moved. I glanced down at it and saw some liquid moving through it. This wasn't good.

Something started beeping somewhere, but at this point I didn't care. I felt something inside of me flex out and the tube started to crack some. The tubes began to pop out of my body as I forced them out using powers I wasn't even aware of and all I could think about was one thing:

Where the hell was I?

The tube around me shattered, sending liquid, wires and glass everywhere. I was alone in the room now, the girl having ran out moments ago. I got up from my glass prison and hopped onto the floor, carefully avoiding the shattered glass. I looked around at the strange room and saw nothing but gray everywhere. The door opened and the man, accompanied by the girl, walked in.

"What are you doing outside your tube?" He said at me angrily. I looked at him, not sure how I respond.

"W...what do you mean?" I spoke to him actually, using my mouth. I was surprised I knew how to even speak to this...human in front of me.

"You are my experiment! I order you to stop and remain still while the security team contains you!"

"Order me? I...I don't understand!" I said back. I felt my frustration grow and I looked over at one of the machines nearby. I could feel the surface of the machine. I wanted to make it feel my frustration. So I crushed it. I imagined myself crushing it and I watched it in front of me, get crushed.

"What are you doing? Stop this madness!" He shouted at me.

"Why are you yelling at me? I don't even understand why I'm here!" I shouted back. I could feel the rest of the room at this point. All my questions I had wanted to ask were gone, he made me upset and now he was going to pay. I closed my fists and let myself squeeze each individual part I could. Both of them had run out of the room by this point, leaving me alone to my chaos.

"They didn't care about me..." I whispered. "He called me his experiment..." I flexed my powers once more and the room shuttered.

"I will show him what I think about that!" I teleported out of the room and to what I thought was the outside of it. It was surrounded in a blue glow, pulsating slightly and I could feel each piece of that building. It was cold, hard, and small. But...I couldn't do it. I couldn't close my hand and crush the building. He may have shown me no sympathy when I was going to ask him hundreds of questions...instead I was told I was an experiment.

"What am I then?" I whispered out loud. "I'm...more than what he says...right?" I heard the sound of my heart beat for a second before my chest began to hurt. I bent over and fell some feet before I caught myself and landed on the ground.

"Ow...the pain...why does it hurt?" Maybe that medicine to put me to sleep got in after all. I couldn't stay here, they'd probably put me back in a tube and I'd be his experiment again. I closed my eyes and imagined myself farther away from here.

"Any place but here." I muttered. I disappeared from the scene and blacked out.

Switchover...

I was walking down along the riverside, like I always do on my Friday nights. 'Twas about 12:33 A.M. and I still wasn't tired. Too many things were on my mind for the moment, one of them being the latest happening. But, I digress.

My life was and still is very complicated. Let's start with the fact that I own a very prestigious company, which is called, 'ArkTek'. ArkTek is a software programming company. Days are hectic, and I still find time to go walking at points. Stress is heavy a lot of the time but I manage.

So, next on my list is that I am, or was, an orphan! Yea, try having that on your plate, doesn't feel good, does it? Whatever, I don't complain. I never heard a word from my parents or even knew if they were dead. I didn't bother to look for them because I was almost as scared to find what remained of my parents, if they had another kid, or both died, or even the possibility of them being drug-addicts.

That was one personal thing I hated the most, drug-addicts. My best friend in the Orphanage was named, Drake. Nobody knew his last name but we all called him Drake. Meh. Seemed to fit him always. He was one of those people when at 18, had a stubble or a 5 'O clock shadow, as other people called it. I walked extensively until I hit a fork in the river with an island in the center.

I walked carefully on top of rocks, so as I don't slip and get my clothes wet, to reach the island in the middle of the river. Ever since I was 12, I would run away every week or so with Drake and we would camp out in the island. As I took a step on this island, I realized that this was my first time going here without Drake. I shrugged it off, he was probably too busy anyways with his family to want to go out here.

My name is Leonardo Velia Di Salvatore. Long but in Italian it means something more. People call me Leo or for more formal attires like business meetings, Leonardo. Meh. I don't really care which people choose.

I walked along the shores, picking up a rather large stick as I walked along, but only to throw it down again. I shrugged and headed towards the middle of the island. Now the island wasn't too big, it was probably 50 by 50 yards at the most. I didn't measure it.

As I approached the center of the island, I spotted something. Something rather, new. A shooting star! Wow! This may have been the first one I have ever seen! Oh yes, the fable behind it! Alright. Wish. Make a wish. There.

I had just wished what I desired most of all, I cannot tell you because otherwise it wouldn't be true. It was always fun to have a childish imagination.

Suddenly, a flash of light emerged and it blinded me for a moment. I could only think of the possibilities that it can or could be. I just covered my eyes for now, but I shall wait until the light wears off. About 5 seconds later, the light dissipates. I uncover my eyes to see something that wasn't there before. I slowly approached it, in complete caution. It looked like an animal, yet, had a strange resemblance to the human race.

Odd.

I observed it more, it appeared to be a female, because of the flower that I saw, and quickly turned my head. "What are you?" I asked.
