I was sent on a new mission. To kill the leader of Animal Control. Fear was spreading among the humans. If I could kill this man that would be it. Animal Control would be dismantled. The human government was ready to try and 'negotiate.' They finally realized they could never beat us. As if we would really talk to them. They had to realize we would just continue to trim their numbers. The only trouble we would have would be The Rebels. Still protecting those filthy humans like pathetic guard dogs! After everything we have done! I thought of Leo and my parents. We could never be equals with the humans! They didn't deserve that kind of kindness!
I hid my rage and stuck to the shadows. Since this was an assaination I was alone. I prefered it this way anyway. The human wasn't guarded well. So stupid. I practically walked right into his house. He and his wife were laying in bed. They looked so peaceful together...so happy. My parents faces passed before my eyes and I raised my claws ready to strike. They couldn't be happy. My family couldn't stay together. Because of these people...these monsters. Right when I was about to strike a scream pierced the night.
I whirled to see a young girl standing at the door. A teddy held tight in her arms and her wide fear filled eyes stared at me. I heard a sharp intake of breath. Damn...the parents were awake. I turned back ready to strike...when a knife went through my shoulder. "Stay away from my daughter you animal!!" My eyes narrowed. "YOU'RE THE ANIMALS!!" The woman had a walkie talkie. Knowing my cover was blown I ran for the window.
A squad of AC was already waiting. And here I was so lax...of course he had bloody backup waiting! A tranq whistled by my head, and I fell from the tree. I tried to catch myself, but my shoulder screamed in pain. Hitting the ground hard, I tucked and tried to roll back on my feet. "Haha...look at him! And hear I heard pussy cats always land on their feet!" A dart hit me in the leg, it's numbness spread. I knew I wasn't going to make it. They would catch me...and they would kill me.
I stopped running and turned around. There was only 5 of them after all. "Here...kitty kitty kitty." Giggles of laughter. Like a pack of hyenas circling it's prey. I was on limited time before my body gave out from the drugs. So I rushed them. I was still faster than they were. Took the first one out easy. Second one punched me in the face. My claws still got his neck. Now I was dizzy...the third was harder. Blood poured from my nose and my eye was starting to swell. My leg was fast asleep. He jabbed and I ducked. Number 4 shot me with another tranq. I roared and rushed him. He felt my fangs in his neck. I spit his blood and number 5 ran. 3 still thought he could take me. I chuckled and ran at him. He kicked my in the chest and I went down. He was on top of me then...but that was with in clawing distance. I raked them across his face, and he screamed. My fangs dug into his arm. He tried to roll away, but I locked my legs around him and ended up on top. My blood dripped down on him. "Die...monster." I strangled him until his eyes looked like they would pop out of his head.
My breath came hard as I looked around me at the bloody mess. The sound of sirens coming closer. My whole body felt like it weighed a thousand pounds, and my vision was starting to dance. I slowly stood and started to hobble away. My body screaming in pain as my adrenaline wore off.
It had started to rain, but I managed to make it to an alley before my body decided to fail me. As I lay there I heard a door open. The sound of footsteps coming closer, and then a gasp. I looked up to see a girl staring at me horrified. She was wearing a uniform for a resturant and a bag a garbage was in her tiny hands. "Oh my God...what happened to you?!" She dropped the bag and ran over to me. Her hand reached out and I growled. She stopped and stared wide eyed. "It's ok...I just want to help you." I growled low and flinched away..."Leave me be girl..." She looked so sad...her soft brown eyes filled with tears. Why would a human care about what happens to a hybrid? That was when the tranq finally took hold, and everything went black.
