2023-03-24 13:38:49They were splicing wolf DNA and inserting it into all the kidnapped children. Nobody in the program knew why, the people never told them. There were rumors. Some of the victims believed they were being turned into weapons for the government. Some thought they were being turned into loyal slaves. Nobody knew the true purpose though... they never would.
W-17-D had been there for a good few years now. Aside from the experiments he wasn't treated horribly. He was given three meals a day, toys to play with, friends among the other experimented children, and even an education. He still missed his mom and brother, but his memories were starting to get hazy. He almost couldn't remember what they looked like anymore.He used to look in a mirror to remind himself that they probably looked like him, but he was hardly looking like him anymore. The wolf DNA was starting to take an effect, his ears were starting to reshape themselves and his honey-brown eyes were taking a more golden-yellow hue. Even his canines were sharpened to animalistic lengths and his nails were hardening into claws.W-17-D knew that he would eventually come to look like W-01-A.He had his own room. They all did. Each Sequence in the Alphabet had their own hall with rooms for 01 through 99. W-17-D, naturally, lived in the D hallway in the 17th room. He hardly got to see his neighbors outside for recreational time in the gymnasium. They talked through the walls sometimes.W-16-D was a quiet girl, but she got bored too. She liked to talk about horses, she was a fanatic. She read all sorts of books and watched all sorts of movies and shows during the before days. Told W-17-D all sorts of random horse facts.W-18-D was the opposite. He jabbered on and on about his day, or what he could remember about his life before, or what sorts of tests they ran on him that day. He even insisted that he remembered his old name. It changed daily, but W-17-D listened nonetheless because it was something to do.W-18-D was quiet today. W-17-D assumed that he was in for weekly experiments. Everyone was always quiet afterward for a few days. The experiments were painful, they needed to let their bodies adjust. He left his neighbor be and instead attempted to read Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief for the umpteenth time. W-17-D had read it so many times, he could probably recite it, word for word. He needed to put in a request for more reading material.The footsteps turning down hallway D caught his attention quickly. Wasn't that hard to do considering how bored he was with the book he was reading. "Recreational Period! All of D Hall head to the Gymnasium for Recreational Period!" W-17-D was on his feet in an instant. He enjoyed the Recreational Period the most out of all reasons the humans came down his hall. There were only four reasons they ever did. Recreational Period, Experimentation Period, Meal Times, and Checkups, not necessarily in that order. Still, he knew the schedule pretty damn well. W-17-D shot up to his feet and left the cramped space of his room in favor of the Gymnasium.The Halls were always mixed up to avoid anyone getting attached. Despite males getting neutered and females getting spayed when they came of age, the hormones were still there and nobody wanted to see that. So it was always different sets of groups. W-17-D really wasn't looking forward to losing his balls, but such was life. "Hey you, 17, you were close to 18 yeah?" W-19-D. W-17-D already knew, by the way, he was speaking, he wasn't going to be seeing W-18-D anymore. "Something went wrong." W-19-D rubbed his neck. "Far as I heard, he died on the table... sorry man..." W-17-D wasn't a stranger to loss. Many die on the table. Such was their life. "Thanks, 19. My condolences to you too..." W-17-D replied quietly."W-17-D?" His ear twitched as he turned to the wall next to W-16-D's room. It was currently dinner time and he was enjoying his venison steak with mashed potatoes and peas. "What's up, W-16-D?" He caught the sound of a sniffle, the faintest noise of tears plopping onto fabric. He felt his heart go out to her. "A-Are we going to die here...?" He couldn't say. It was a very real possibility. "I don't know..." He whispered. He knew she still heard him though. "A-are we even human anymore...?" It was a fair question. One he wanted to say yes to, but... "I... I don't know..." He didn't. The more experiments he went through, the less human he felt. "Do-do you think we could leave...? R-run out those doors and keep going?" He didn't know. Nobody's ever tried. "Maybe..." He replied.She never made it past the first doors before she was gunned down.This was a break in the schedule. 5 am and everyone from all the halls were marched down to the basement where W-16-D was hung up for all to see. Bullet wounds from an automatic riddled her arms and chest, and blood stained her clothes and skin. A pool of I was drying underneath her. Everyone knew immediately. She was the example. She was what happened if they tried to leave. To run away.Someone walked up to the front. W-17-D couldn't see who it was but by the sound of his footfalls, he was important. Those who could see reacted nervously, which was another hint that he was someone to be messed with. Even the doctors and facility workers were antsy. This was someone really high up in the ranks.For a moment it was silent. A microphone made a loud sound, making W-17-D, among others, cringe and grab at their ears. "Ah, my apologies." Even the important man's voice held an air of authority. "I am Michael Jonah, the Director of the W Series. That is you all. I am the one that makes sure you all receive food, shelter, and education. We even make sure you all can run around and talk and play... so I don't understand why anyone would want to leave." Heads turned up to W-16-D's body. "You were all donated to science. Your families didn't want you so I took you all in. All I ask is you let the doctors do their thing and you can do what you want within reason! I want to take care of you all as a parent would their child, and I would rather not punish my children, ok? So you be good individuals and nobody has to get hurt again, understood?" The room stayed quiet. Everyone was too intimidated.The director left not long after his speech and everyone was dismissed one hall at a time. W-17-D looked up at her once more. He should've said something else, should've stopped her. She could've escaped this. Then again, maybe it was quicker and less painful. He didn't know. He never would. He was no hero, he would abide by the rules of the director. He was gonna end up dying here like a dog, but he accepted that.W-17-D gave up years ago.Related chapters

Everyone wished they could get rid of the pain that came with the experiments. No amount of anesthetics could take it away. It never got better, even as years passed. W-17-D wreathed on the operating table, fangs piercing at the gag in his mouth as he tried to scream. He clawed desperately at nothing, his hands couldn't move, not with the restraints. What hurt most was the waist down. He knew they were changing, it was like growing pains but so much worse. He could feel his bones shift and break to fit a new form. He passed out when the firey, stinging pain shot up his spine.That was the day his tail started to grow. At first, he couldn't walk because of the way his legs had changed. Not quite paws, but no longer feet. His toes stretched and pushed up, the middle two now the same length while the pinkie was virtually gone. the rest of the bones in his feet were still humanesque, leaving his walking very unstable at first.The good news was, he had a tail, which helped him to stabili

Elaine came by monthly. She called it therapy, but it was so much more than that. She asked a lot about them leaving this place. She needed to know who she could save and who was too far gone. She needed information from them so she could save the others. W-17-D, among a couple of others, showed promising signs. They wanted to leave. They wanted to see the sun, they wanted to feel the grass, they wanted to go somewhere where they didn't have to do experiments and survive. That, she would give them... When the time was right. "You won't tell anyone, right?" The first time was always the hardest. Elaine had been all across the world, meeting other Series and trying to shut them down. Finding children as old as W-17-D who didn't have Stockholm syndrome was hard to come by. The boy was special. "I won't tell a soul, 17." She promised the almost adult. He relaxed a little, his ears folding back uneasily as he retreated to his bed on canid paws. He was very special indeed. Another promisin

W-17-D was running laps with a few other hybrids. It was a test of speed and agility for them, but they were supposed to think of it as a game. He didn't think of it as a game. He just knew that the director himself asked for this test and the gym, and so he had to perform at his best, dodging obstacles that were put in his way as fast as he could. It felt natural to him, even though this was his first time. He knew that it was something deep, something instinctive. Something that he wasn't supposed to have, but had anyway. Whatever made the director happy.Michael was indeed very happy. W-17-D was by far his best product made yet. The boy was fast, smart, strong, and agaile, and he would sell for a hefty price when only fifty remained. The perfect combination of man and wolf, Michael was almost tempted to buy the boy himself as his guard dog. Eventually, when they were all sold, he would have to make more, and who better to show them their purpose and protect them than a former experi

W-17-D's heart was beating against his chest. He wasn't sure why, but he was anticipating... something. He knew something was coming. He could feel it, and it made him antsy. He had difficulty sleeping because of the instinct that told him he had to be ready. It had been two days now, and he was still alert and wired despite the lack of sleep. He stared tentavely at the door, expecting someone to go through it. He didn't hear anything, though, nor did he smell anyone approaching. He supposed it didn't matter, though. It was gonna happen. He knew it. He recognized the lavender perfume and the Chelsea boots as they approached. The doctor wasn't supposed to be here more than once a month, but her prescence was a welcome surprise... and what he assumed he'd been waiting for. W-17-D was already on his paws and opening the door for her. "You heard me coming, 17?" He nodded. "Are you taking me out?" Dr. Hughes paused before nodding. "We are going to the gymnasium." She replied. He nodded an

Elaine sighed. She knew she had to give him answers. She would, Wild deserved to know the truth. "Finish your dinner, and I'll tell you the truth behind why I was at the W Series Compound." She said slowly. Wild stared at her with his dull yellow eyes. Debating on if she was giving it to him straight. After a few moments, he turned away, helping Tiffany nibble away at her own pizza slices. Westley was down a slice and halfway through the other with the napkin covering his nose. "I am not actually a therapist, if you couldn't tell. That was just my cover." Elaine started slowly. "So what, you're like a spy or something?" Westley asked. "Or something. I am an agent. My real name is Elaine Moore." Wild thumped his tail against the chair bars. "You couldn't tell us because we would tell the others. You chose us because we wanted out." He deduced quietly. "Yes, exactly." She smiled at Wild. He didn't return it. "I wanna go home, lady. Can I go home?" Westley pleaded. "Soon, but not yet. Th

Wild's sleep was restless that night. It was a new territory, new sounds that made him jolt up despite the closed and locked door. He knew there were still people there despite the early hour, and he was on edge because of it. All in all, he didn't sleep too well. It didn't matter too much. He'd gone a few nights without sleep before as an experiment. At around 6:30, there was a knock on their door. Wild knew I was the man that was with Elaine yesterday. He'd said his name was Richard? Wild also knew he had something. Food was his guess. Despite the conversation he'd overheard about his appearance, Richard genuinely seemed to like him, so Wild got up to get the door.The offer was poptarts, the smores kind. Wild didn't know there was such thing as smores poptarts. He only knew what smores was from the books. "Gotta be honest, I wasn't really sure if you even ate human food with your wolfish appetite!" Wild rose a brow. "We can eat anything a human can." Richard made a show of wiping h

They'd been here a few weeks now. Elaine took them to see the sunset and the sunrise each day. Give the poor hybrids some sun. Elaine and Richard asked questions on occasion about what it was like there. Wild was more vague than the other two at first. He just wanted to be done with that place. Wild knew he would have to talk about it eventually, though. Eventually, he started to tell them about the schedule that he'd grown so accustomed to. How they were always in their rooms as they were now and about the gymnasium that acted as their outside time. Then, there were the experiments. He didn't say much about them other than "It hurts."Richard was doing card tricks with Westley and Tiffany. Wild was watching, but he was more interested in the people with Elaine. A couple with Westley's scent on them. It was very old. Another couple with a boy, all carrying Tiffany's scent. The last was a man, nearly ten years older than Wild. "I'm very glad we found you, Mr. Thatcher. I'm sure you alr

Wild missed the others. Elaine knew he missed Tiffany and Westley. She knew that he knew they belonged where they were. They weren't as far gone as he was. He couldn't quite go back into human society like those two. He knew, and so did Elaine, deep down. That's why she decided that he would be the one to help save the others. That was the initial plan anyway. Now that the news of the hybrids were out, that meant getting the police involved. Get Jon involved. She was going to have Jon and Wild meet. She would invite him tonight and bring him over tomorrow if he agreed. Elaine stopped by his room, where one of the other employees had brought him something new to read every few days or so. He preferred books over the TV. "Hey, I might be bringing someone over tomorrow, and he's going to ask questions about the facility and the experiments. Is that ok?" Wild looked up from his book. "If it's the first step to freeing the rest, I'll do it." Elaine nodded quietly, bidding Wild goodnight a

Wild was separated from the others to get x-rays done. It turned out he'd fractured one of the bones in his legs, but that was the worst of his damage. Jon had broken his arm and his nose. He also had a concussion that had put him in his comatose state, and he needed stitches. All three of them did, actually. Kat had the least amount of damage, only needing three stitches compared to Wild's fifteen and Jon's forty-two. They found Elaine's contact in Jon's phone, so she was now on her way Montana, where they had ended up crashing. The good news was that they were close to the Wyoming border. Wild was almost back to his home territory. It made him feel better. "Good afternoon, Wild." He sat up in his bed, regarding the doctor uneasily. White coats didn't exactly associate with good things, but this doctor only checked his fluids before listening to his heartbeat and breathing as well as taking his blood pressure. "Afternoon..." Wild watched him go about his business as usual and let him

"What do we do?" Kat questioned as they looked up. "... it might be a while before we are found... we need to survive." Wild staggered to his paws and peered up. "Starting with patching ourselves up with what we can use and finding or making a shelter. I sense rain in the air." Kat was immediately pushing Wild back onto the ground. "Rest! I can take care of building a shelter. You need to focus on your injuries." The puma hybrid dashed off after that, presumably to find material for a shelter or some sort. Wild glanced back up at the incline. Would Kat have done it if he asked her to climb up for help? She wasn't the most trusting of humans. Wild got to work, picking glass out of the cuts on his skin and using the hem of his shirt to dab away blood. A small part of him wanted to lick it, but he shoved that thought far back as he moved onto Jon. He had small cuts from glass, too, and bruises everywhere like Wild. The worst of it was the buising gash on his head from it bouncing off the

It was a little more than a month before Kat was discharged. The local police had gone after Michael Jonah for what he did, and he was now wanted in both Idaho and Wyoming. Only the P Series was located, the federal authorities of the state taking them while Kat was allowed to go to Wyoming to help free others like herself and Wild. Elaine knew it wouldn't be long before Michael Jonah was wanted in most, if not all, the US. If he was smart, he would turn himself in and give up the locations of all the Series. Wild and Kat knew better, though. He would probably leave the country and go to one of the Series out of the country where he wasn't wanted. That would become a problem for the UN, and it would be out of their hands. Things were finally picking up on the Series's case. Most of the neighboring states were looking for any sort of facilities that could house Series. Nothing had been found yet, but it wouldn't be long...This time, with Kat not dying, They had two hybrids staring out
The W Series Chapter 18
Wild had never been in a house before. Taking to an airbnb as their temporary housing until Kat got better. Wild... didn't know how to describe the place other than "better." It was so strange to see a real kitchen and a living room and all the rooms told in stories, but now he was there. The couple that was housing them immediately felt bad for the animal boy, seeing how he was and how utterly confused and shocked he was to see it all. Even more so when he could make himself at home here. Home was a concept he'd never understood before. He'd never had it, but to relax on the living room couch and read was nice. He left the room mostly dark besides the lamp behind him as he enjoyed himself I the relative silence to let the adults talk and figure out sleeping arrangements with their hosts. A long-haired, silver weasel-cat hybrid watched him wearily from the dark, making growl like noises on occasion, but Wild couldn't be bothered. He was in the zone now. Nothing could pull him away fro

Elaine and Jon hadn't truly fathomed how much Wild had been stressed out until check out around eight. He was out the doors the moment he saw them and didn't turn around to look at the building once. Wild felt like he could breathe again, inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly. He'd survived the night. That was good. He was ready to check on Kat again and see how her night had gone. "Wild!" He glanced at Elaine, ears down in an attempt to ignore all the noise around them. "Elaine?" "Are you ok? You seemed to be in a hurry to get out..." Elaine commented. Jon came out with the they few bags of luggage he and Elaine had brought. "I didn't like it in there. Reminded me of the Series..." Wild replied as he opened the car door and got on the back."Why didn't you say anything? If you were uncomfortable, we could've slept somewhere else." Jon was saying as they drove back to the hospital. "You guys seemed fine with it. It's not like staying a night killed me..." Wild replied as he looked out
The W Series Chapter 16
Jon had to talk to the cops. Wild did a bit of taking as well, only to confirm that Jon was helping him rather than hurting him. After that, he got to see the other hybrid. The puma girl was still asleep, out due to sedatives. He swore he could still smell it in her system. He took the time to examine her more, beyond the feline features the puma DNA had given her. He could see small scars and scratches, maybe from herself, maybe from another hybrid. He knew how hard it was to get used to claws. He wondered what was next for her. Would she go home too? Join the cause to save their kind? "Idaho man, they are really something." Jon sighed as he came in. At this point in time, Wild was simply staring out the window, watching the cars on the highway zoom by. His ear twitched, though, signifying that he was, in fact, listening to Jon. "What's next? When she gets out?" Wild asked, shifting in his spot to look at the detective. "Technically, that's up to her and Elaine. I did call her about
The W Series Chapter 15
It was a bit weird, driving off the road. Jon had told Wild it was so they couldn't be spotted by the director on his way out. They would be watching what he was doing from the surrounding forest. Jon took a camera and a small recorder with before leading Wild away from his car and in the direction the director's vehicle had been heading. The leaflitter felt natural on Wild's paws. This was where he felt he belonged. He could feel it deep inside. His nostrils flared, and his ears twitched as he took in every sight and sound. He wanted to run. He pushed the idea down. He knew he couldn't, but he wanted to. He always had and always would. "Wild, keep up, kid." Jon called. He caught up quickly, slightly distracted. He smelled vanilla and coconut body wash with a slight hint of musk. It made him stop again. "Wild -" "We aren't alone out here." He sniffed again, trying to locate that smell. It was above them somewhere. in the trees. A female. Copper. He was picking up a coppery smell now.
The W Series Chapter 14
It had grown dark again as they stopped at a hotel for the night. They, naturally, were going to be sleeping in the car again while Michael Jonah slept blissfully unaware of them inside the hotel. "It's getting very cramped in here..." Wild sighed as he crawled into the back, trying to keep his lower half from going numb sitting in the car as long as he had been. "I'm sure... you haven't exactly gotten to get out since we started. Wanna, I don't know, take a walk or something?" Jon offered. "I thought I couldn't be seen?" Wild twisted around, hearing his back pop a good many times. "You can't be seen by Jonah. It's dark, Wild, very few people are awake at this time of night." Jon pointed out. "Besides, you need it. You'll cramp up if you don't, and that hurts a lot. Trust me." Wild sighed and popped the back door open. "Let's go take a walk then." He tucked his tail uncomfortably into his jeans, so he looked a little less like a freak. He couldn't cover up his paws, but otherwise, he

It was about what Wild expected. They sat in the car, watching and waiting for someone to come out of that big, stupidly tall building. Wild munched slowly on the burrito he'd been given as he stared down the rotating doors of this giant, clearly expensive apartment complex. He was scared to look away. He didn't want to miss out on the director and lose him and any chance of finding the other hybrids. "Don't look so obvious, kid. We have to look casual, or the target will know something is up." Jon warned Wild. "Hard to act casual, being victim to his crimes.""I'm sure, but you have to. Please don't make me regret taking you along..." Jon looked pointedly at Wild, who leaned back and tore his eyes away from the doors. The hours passed slowly and endlessly. Wild tried to keep himself distracted with the idea and freeing the others, them all going home to their families. This was the best case scenario. Wild knew from the books he read that nothing ever went as planned. There were goi
