I'll probably never continue this... About a government experiment that sneaks away and discovers a new world before her.

The sound of heels echoed through a dark alley, the steps were light and graceful, confident steps. A small framed female, standing 5”5 with porcelain skin, and deep sea blue eyes that had a tint of green with a bold yellow ring that danced around her pupil, though the right had been much more clouded. Long flowing blonde hair that was choppy laid on her shoulders almost perfectly. It had added another sense of wildness to her physic.

A light grin was pasted on her angelic face as blood speckled her being. Her hair had long streaks of crimson dripping down and majestically falling as they hit the ground with a silent splash. She wore tall combat boots with black knee high socks, along with a gray v-neck that exposed her shoulder, and an army green jacket with army green shorts and she had thick air force like goggles placed gingerly on her head.

Only months ago she had been in a lab, being trained as a “pet”, and now she was free. Walking out of the alley taking one final glance at her hands that looked more animal like. Large paws with metallic silver claws that could tear skin with the softest brush to the face, she flicked her hands quickly and like knives the retracted and small feminine hands replaced the large paws. She frowned as she saw her large pole on the ground walking over she picked it up and compressed it back down to pocket size.

Her weapon, besides her lethal claws, didn’t look like much, but it connected with her emotions. Shifting into several different weapons when provoked. Putting it into the pocket of her jacket she felt the small collar that she wore in the lab, that had her name engraved into it.

She looked down and thought solemnly, “Nova. My name is Nova…why is that all I know about myself?”, she bit her lip in annoyance. It was true and now she believed it, those that studied her knew more about her than she herself did.

A smooth breeze caressed her face comforting her and numbing her loneliness. Her confident steps came to a halt when she saw the world, if felt like forever since she had. Nothing was around, talking another step forward she stood in the street gazing at the sky that was covered with dark clouds as she heard a loud crack of thunder crash in the sky sending lightening down and rain to pour, with her only thought being, “How beautiful,” she stood allowing the rain to wash over her the droplets that hit her would turn crimson and stain the water pink.
