A Mystery

The claws on her fingers sharpened and she pushed the girl back while her jaws were still on the neck.

SSSHHHRRRR-----!!

A large chunk of the girls neck was ripped and bright red blood flowed everywhere. It felt so natural to her to kill the weak little girl. She dropped the dead girl on the ground with a *thud*, and tried chewing as her instincts told her.

She started chewing and it was, surprisingly, good, so she swallowed it. Then, she turned back and saw the other girls huddled together in the corner of the cell. Of course the cells across saw what had transpired in her cell. They started screaming and some vomited.

The cells next to her's heard the noise and saw the kids across but didn't know what happened. It made them scared.

'When I killed the girl, it felt so instinctive to kill them. Strange.' The guys who watched over the cells heard the screams and cries of the kids. It was more than normal so they all checked it out since nothing else was interesting there.

When they got to her cell, blood flowed out of the bars and onto the hall. She killed the other two girls to see if she still felt natural killing them, and it didn't feel too bad.

"WHA-WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!?!" The gaurds saw her covered in blood and the girls ripped into shreds. It was brutal. They now understood all the vomiting that happened in the other cells, the girls were sliced open and some had bites taken out of them. They ran panicked to inform the higher ups what happened.

While they left, she decided to learn more of the language spoken, since it would be useful, and decided to listen in on all the speech she heard. Unfortunately, the only language was from the guards, their vocabulary was mostly swear words though. It really influenced her way of talking later on.

Some guards stood in front of her cells and watched her carefully so she didn't make a move.

"Bro!! I got talked to the higher ups! they wanna see her."

"Then let's get her out of there."

They slowly opened the door with weapons pointed at her.

'These people... are great for learning language.' She already memorized how to use the words, "Bro" and "hell" in her speech. She was quite the quick learner.

They seemed to want her to walk out so she followed and walked closer out the door. 'They look kind of nervous for some reason.' Was what she was thinking when they took extra caution at escorting her out.

She heard them talking again on the way and started studying.

"Hey, bro, what should we do if it attacks?"

"Don't jinx us dude!"

'The words 'jinx' and 'dude' sounded different, so she studied how to use those as well. On the way a door opened, and she was pushed inside.

The higher ups got the news that a, pup, killed the rest of her cell mates. It was a little troubling. It took months to make a new pup, but they always died in a couple weeks. Killing three useful pup's was very wasteful. So, a meeting to discuss the new pup's future was being held.

They called them a pup, because they resembled newborn puppies although genetically, they have altered genes resembling wolves much more than dogs. They also die in a few weaks so there are never adults.

Inside the room, a long table had the same number of people on each side and one sitting in the middle. When she walked in, they were surprised at how bloody she got when killing them. The discussion had turned into a debate.

"WE SHOULD GET RID OF A PUP THAT DANGEROUS BEFORE IT KILLS MORE PUP'S!"

"NO, HAVING A POWERFUL PUP LIKE THAT WOULD BE A GOOD THING!!"

One side of the table wanted to get rid of her before she created unnecessary trouble, while the other wanted to keep her because of how powerful she was and how she was unfazed at killing.

'Pup?'

She was still standing there, but she was learning all this language over the debate happening. One she understood almost instantly was how they referred to her and the others as pup's.

She stared down at her bloody hands and arms. She continued to stare for a while, not interested anymore with the debate since she already learned the words.

'This blood is kind of uncomfortable, keeping it on my skin like that.' She hadn't washed any of the blood and it started to annoy her. Without even thinking, she started licking the blood. It didn't taste bad at all. Her licking the blood caught the attention of everyone debating.

It wasn't normal, usually they cleaned the blood off pups after fights because they didn't like it. However, the pup in front of them killed three others a day after being awake and licked the blood off with her tongue.

The pup was different, much different.

Then, the man sitting at the middle of the table yelled, "11 COME OVER HERE!" He just wanted to test her and also check something out.

She was busy cleaning the blood when she heard someone being called and looked up. She was a little confused, but the eye contact told her it was probably her getting called over. Not seeing any problem with it, stopped cleaning and walked over to the man.

'Why did he call me 11? Is it my symbol? Is it spoken like that?' She was thinking of why he called her 11 instead of pup when a hand opened her mouth.

"Aa..?"

She couldn't make any noise that came close to words with her mouth wide open. Her teeth looked Razor sharp and pointy, her hands as well, the nails looked more like claws than nails.

"Hmm... We're keeping her. Check her genetics again for anything abnormal. Debate dismissed." In the end, the people wanting to keep her, won the debate while the others left a little unsatisfied.

(Later in the office)

"Boss, the report came in." The genes she had were indeed messed up.

----------------

Human: 50%

Wolf: 49%

Cat: 1%

-----------------

The bosses brows knitted when he saw the report.

"How did you manage to get a cats genes, even if it's only one percent?"

"We're not sure either. Also, the wolf percentage is too high. All the pups with more than 30% died almost immediately when brought out."

The entire research team had only managed to altar human to wolf genes. They couldn't figure out how some of her's became cat genes instead. There was also nothing wrong with her either. She was a mystery. How exactly did it happen?
