Name: Hannah

I lived in any normal home. I had a mom and a dad with my older brother, David. I'm a hybrid, but my parents didn't tell me. I basically thought I was a normal human being. They didn't tell me about the gift either. They hoped that no one would come to bring me to the games and that I could be safe. Well, that backfired.

One day, I heard someone barge into my house. I heard my mom scream from downstairs. I ran downstairs and found a man holding a gun to my mom. My dog, Macy followed me. Macy followed me everywhere we had a weird bond, that only she and I would ever have. I guess she was my only friend seeing how I was a loner at school and no one liked me. My mom turned and saw me near the stairs with a frightened look on her face. Before I could go near her, the man pulled out a gun and pointed it at me.

I lived in a dangerous town, and Things like this happened everywhere. It happened about a year ago. I hadn't talked in a year. Macy and my brother were the only ones who I allowed into my walls. I just shut everyone else out.

Macy growled at the man and started circling me. My heart started pounding in my chest. For a 15 year old girl, this was terrifying.

"What do you want?" My mom asked. Her voice was shaky.

"Simple, I'm part of a guild, and we just need food. So, we're raiding your house." He said. He whistled, and a handful of men came running in. Macy stood by me the entire time.

"Someone tie up the girl and her mom." He shouted. "We don't want them to call for help."

"Can we kill them just like we killed that other family?" My head snapped up. These were the people who killed my friend and her family. I struggled against their arms and I grew claws and scratched him. Wait, I grew claws!?

Just as they tied me up, I started to feel dizzy. I closed my eyes for a quick second. When I opened them, I was shorter. The room seemed so much bigger. What's going on? I looked down and saw I had Macy's paws. What the heck!? I was seeing out of Macy'seyes. I thought of a plan. My dad and David, went out for the day. They should be in town.

I blinked once, and I was looking back in my house. Macy was still there. I looked at her.

"Macy, go get dad. Or David and run as fast as you can." It was the first time I talked in a year. My mom looked at me with tears in her eyes.

She barked once and ran as fast as she could.

A man was standing over me. They tied a bomb to my chair and they all left. Still confused about what happened, there was a man who didn't leave. I struggled against the ropes, and used my so called claws to cut my ropes. I got my mom free and the bomb blew.

When I woke up, people were talking in hushed voices.

"She's strong enough to go into the exams. I have to bring her with me."

"Why can't she just stay here?" It was David.

"David, she talked for the first time in a year. And it was to her dog." Mom.

I opened my eyes and sat up straight, breathing heavily. I'm not talking to them. Just because I talked to Macy, doesn't mean I'm going to talk to people.

My mom hugged me tightly. My dad was sitting in a chair not looking at me. David gave me a reassuring smile. I realized he would be going to college soon. And I would be in the Exam. He wouldn't see me ever again. Neither would my parents. David and I were really close. He understood me almost as much as Macy did.

I there was a stranger in the room too. My dad was glaring at him. The stranger was looking at me intensely. I returned the look. He smiled at me.

"My name is Thomas and I'm here to bring you to the Exams."

I rolled my eyes. No really, I hadn't noticed. David laughed and smiled. Thomas looked at me.

"Is she mute?" He asked. I looked at him. More like glared. I looked around for Macy. She was at the foot of my bed. I wondered if I could bring her with me.

"No. She doesn't like talking to people. And her name is Hannah. And she wants to know if she could bring Macy. Her dog. Actually, it doesn't matter because dog goes everywhere with her."

I looked at my brother gratefully. I was going to miss him so much. I got up from the bed and ran up to hug him. I cried quietly into his shoulder as he hugged me back.

I wiped my face. David knelt in front of me so that we could be at eye level. He doesn't need to do that, but he's been doing it ever since I was little.

"Do the best you can kid, and I'll always be here." He put his hand on my heart. I sniffles and hugged him again. I hugged my parents and looked at Thomas nodding. I was going with him willingly. No use fighting it, I was going to go whether I liked it or not. Macy followed us and came with me.

So, yeah that's my life story. And I'm still not talking. I'm writing this. And if any of you think I'm going to tell you any of my secrets well, you got another thing coming because that's not happening.

I had a lunch in my pack. I walked through the dark forest.

The lunch had some chicken and carrots.

I sat down and started to eat my carrots. Then I saw wolves. A mother wolf and some pups.

I froze. The mother wolf hissed and clawed my stomach. The wolf licked up my blood.

I groan, then suddenly I am small as one of the pups. I realized I was a pup.

I whimper. The mama wolf looks at me and my stomach growls. I whimper again.

I am now back in my bloody self and I howl in pain. The wolf stares at me and I throw them my chicken.

The pups started to eat. The mama wolf says to me, Sorry and she takes the meat away.

I see a man and I know he saw my actions and will help me and I black out.

The man and I stared at each other, the knife in my hand itching to be in his chest.
"Get away from me," I said venomously. "I have had enough of you people."
"Excuse me?" The man said.
Hybrid.
I can smell it on him. He's to clean to be a human, to well pressed. His clothes are brighter and of higher material.
Hybrid.
"One of you freaks already gave me something weird," I said. My hand tightened on the knife hilt and the man just smiled pleasantly.
"My name is Thomas, I am the advisor to the Hybrid Keeper Kate. We tried to send a letter but of course you don't have a stable address" Thomas said holding out his hand. I stared at it and kept my hand on the door ready to slam it shut. "And I am afraid I don't know what you are speaking of. Can I please some in, I mean you no harm." I stepped aside and he entered my small apartment looking around curiously. I tucked my knife in my belt and closed the door.
"So what do you mean," Thomas said sitting down. "About a hybrid giving you something?"
"When I was younger my parents died. I was adopted by a gang and started getting into trouble," I pulled down my shirt collar and poked at bandages. "About a year ago I got stabbed near the heart. My so called family thought I was going to die so they abandoned me. A hybrid healer or whatever saved me according to Isis, my doctor."
"And this healer gave you something?"
"I can see and smell things I couldn't before. I have faster reflexes, I jump higher....freaky shit."
Why does this guy care?
What do you want?
"Ms. Gold-" Thomas started and my hand quickly moved back to my knife. "How do you know who I am?"
"The Hybrid Keeper has sensed you, you are to join the trials to become the next Keeper."
"What?"
"You're a hybrid Ms. Gold," Thomas said.
I laughed. "I'm a human not one of you freaks."
"Ma'am I believe your mother was a hybrid."
"So I'm a halfer?" I fell back on the couch and rubbed my temples. "A halfer?"
"What is that....a halfer?"
"Half human, half hybrid," I stood back up and started pacing. "So let's just say I believe you- why does this Keeper chick want me. Like I said, gang member. An enforcer in fact, I've helped killed people."
"I do not know why the Keeper wants you. That is why I am here," Thomas's hand started to glow and I stepped back. "I think you are of the wildlifes. Apprentices of the animals, which is why you can do those things you said earlier. Do you know pig Latin?"
"Take away till a vowel and add ay, right?"
"Good, use that, it seems to work best for your powers."
"What?"
"Are you ready?"
"For what?" Thomas launched up and suddenly all the lights in the apartment went off. "Hey!"
"I am going to try and kill you," Thomas's voice said off in the distance. "If you want to live I would recommend protecting yourself." A bright light came out of nowhere and hit my side. I fell back and felt blood trickle out.
Another bright light and he hit my cheek. I coughed and my mouth tastes like iron. "Why are you doing this?"
"You were a gang member weren't you? I can not test you like the others, fight back," Thomas appeared in front of me and patted my head like an encouraging teacher. I pulled out my knife and tried to stab him but he jumped away quickly.
What did I do go deserve this? Okay well there is a long list of things I've done. Torture, kidnapping, running from police.
But that was when I was different, I've changed. I almost died, I was inches away from death and I changed.
I'm not that girl anymore.
I'm not that girl anymore.
My mind started flashing back to another time. A woman was standing above me, a lit match in her hands. No wait, her hand was on fire but she wasn't panicking. She was calm and laughing.
Was this woman my mother.
"Remember pig latin," Thomas said from the darkness. My eyes were slowly adjusting but not fast enough.
Okay, okay what animals can see in the dark?
"Atcay!" My head stung and crippling pain dropped me to my knees. I closed my eyes and when I opened them I could see again. Thomas was leaning against the wall twirling a blade in his hands. I forced myself up and jumped quietly over the couch.
"You must move faster than that," Thomas said. He had his arm wound tightly around my neck and I bit his arm.
"I'm a cat," I said. "Agile, strong, and can see in the dark."
I found him again and threw my knife. He shouted as it imbedded in his shoulder. The lights turned back on and I ran over to pull it out but he held his hands up. Thomas pulled the blade out and looked at the wound.
"Interesting," he said. I helped him up and he handed me the knife. "I can see why the Keeper wanted you now."
"What does she want me for?" I asked.
"She wants apprentices for the Exams."
"You stabbed me, as a test to see if I could make it in another test?"
"And you passed," he held his hand out and I stared at it, then shook it cautiously.
"You're different from what I expected," I said. He raised his eyebrows. "I got one of your stupid letters, all I read though was the Hybrid Keeper is sending Scout Thomas and then I burned it."
"What did you expect?"
"A pompous prick dressed in fancier clothing and maybe carrying a magic wand. I don't know what you hybrids carry around with you."
"Well you should figure it out," Thomas said. "You're one of us freaks now. Please do me a favor and lay down."
"Why?"
"Because this will hurt more if your standing," he held something to my nose and I collapsed.
