The soft rustling of the trees was a familiar sound, as was the crunch of leaves and pine needles under your feet. It was familiar because of the years of hiding you has been forced to live through, and it was almost comforting.

Had you not been being tracked and hunted by him. Abbot, the man who claimed to be the savior of humanity. The same man who captured and slaughtered hybrids by the hundreds, trying to eradicate the half-breeds from earth forever..

You were one of them. Lucky you, being the clever creature you were, had escaped. But now you were in unfamiliar territory, and alone..

Or at least, you would have liked to be. But the rustling of leaves and the quiet crunch if steps that didn't match yours were a quiet indicator of another presence. A human, you determined, thanks to your keen sense of smell.

Suddenly, before you had much time to prepare for the attack, a girl lept out of the bushes, grabbing onto you with a fierce growl and pinning you beneath her. A flash of orange and tiger print invaded your vision, but only her hands pinned you, no weapon.

"Name,"she demanded, dark brown eyes boring into yours as she kept you down.
