Special

Intro

   Let me put it simply. There are people that are born "special" and people who aren't. That's just how it is. Me? Yeah, I was born special...very special to be exact. What is "special" you may ask? It's what we call people with traits of animals. Human-hybrids.

For example: there are some specials with cat-like features such as cat tails, cat ears, maybe even whiskers. Or there are some even with a toad-like appearance. I feel bad for them...the ones with an ugly special. I especially feel bad for those that are not born special.

My best friend is a blue bird special. His name is Jay Maxwell. He has blue feathers intertwined in his short, silk black hair. His feet are bird claws and feathers randomly poke out of different places on his body, but he normally hides them since he is very self conscious of his looks. Also like a blue bird, he is super perky and jumpy...the opposite of me.

Like I was saying at the beginning, I was born really special, but I hate it. I get special treatment most of the time when I don't hide my appearance. When I was younger, I was placed in a special class just so that the other children wouldn't be distracted by me.

Both of my parents are non-specials, so when they found out that an extraordinary and unique kid like me was their child, they were in complete shock. My special is....

   a dragon.

Dragons were supposedly only mythical and didn't exist, but if they never existed then how could I have been born a dragon special? Exactly. At some point they had to be real. It was said that the very first special was a phoenix. A woman with a body of golden red flames, eyes as orange as a fiery sunset, and just by her standing in front of you, you felt as though you were in the presence of a god. There is no proof of such thing though. 

Since this is an intro after all, let me tell you a little about myself. I'm exactly 19 years old. Female. And being born with a dragon special, I have golden, snake-like eyes, extremely sharp canine teeth, and pointy ears (which do nothing to improve my hearing that's terrible by the way!). My senses are superb (except for my hearing obviously), I'm really fast and agile, and every once in a while I'll breath fire, but I have no control over it...at least not yet anyways. My hair color is a blondish-brown and it goes down just below my shoulders. I'm pretty short for my age- standing at exactly 5'0''.

My name is Nik (short for Nicole) Carter.

And this is my story. The story about how I ended up here....
In line for execution.
