Time to Rise

Prologue

It's the year of 2075. The war between China, Japan, Russia, and United States has worsened. With weapons that have been outsmarted, United States is backed into a corner. Frantic, US turns to genetics. Scientists use upgraded technology to modify animal genetics. Wolves, dogs, horses, cats, birds, and animals of all kinds have been given special powers. Some are physical, and some mental. Those who don't survive the change became horrid mutations with no control over their body.

 Veil is only six months old. Her siblings have all vanished in the night, and she is only left with her mother's comfort. But this does nothing to soothe her worries. Five days have passed since her last sibling was taken. Veil paces back and forth, claws clicking as she broods. Even though it was dark in the room she was staying in with her mother, she was able to see just fine. She never knew why, and she never questioned it.

 Suddenly, the room is drenched in light. Veil looks around, and she sees one of the humans walk towards her and her mothers containment area. The human opens the hatch, and huge hands head for Veil. Feeling dread seep into her bones, Veil snarls. She won't let herself be taken away by these awful creatures.

 "God, why did I have to be the one to have to retrieve it?" The human snapped, quickly grabbing her neck. With that, they pulled Veil out of the "box" and away from her mother. Veil cried, reaching out with her paws to try to reach her. However, she didn't even look her way. Despair took over Veil, and she thrashed about, doing what ever she could to get out of this human's hands. Sadly, they didn't budge.

 She was brought into another room where she was set in this white box. It had glass walls, but no matter how many times she threw herself at it, they didn't break. A weird buzzing noise started, and an odd light enveloped her, and she shut her eyes as it became too bright for her eyes. Not a moment later, she felt cold wrapping around her like water being drenched on her.

 The humans cheered. For Veil was the first, successful turn that they had in a year. Veil would be the lead to a new evolution. However, it might not be the one she wants.
