(This has Anthro in it, but no sex or anything so it should offend noone. Allthough this is Non-Erotic it is very well the prequil to a very "steamy" story, that is after an X-Ammount of good replys
I'd like to ask you to read just a few paragraphs at least, I spent quite a bit of time on it, and that wasn't to make it bad)
ENJOY!
I walked down the sidewalk returning from my jog, the moon was half way hidden, but the street lights provided fair lighting. I could smell cherries; I looked around but saw nothing. I wondered to where the smell was coming from, then my vision blurred and then came back better than before. I saw everything sharper, I could see farther, and most of all it now looked like day!
The sudden rush of heightened sight made me stumble forward, I fell hard dazed. When I recovered I stood up and opened my eyes, I looked around and saw a cherry pie on a table in a house almost a block down, and the windows where shut. I sat down on a bench and leaned back and thought to myself, amazed by my heightened senses. Then I heard whoomp, whoomp, whoomp and it kept going on and getting louder. Almost as instinct I got up and ran towards my house, going much faster than I have gone before.
When I got near my house I stopped, then I heard the slide then slam of a van door. I jumped behind a tree and some bushes, then footsteps on asphalt and metallic jingles. I looked around; the sound was coming from behind a house just next to mine. Then it dawned on me, for almost a mile I had not seen anyone in or out of their houses. Then my sight faded and it was like normal, I couldn’t see anything.
Then there was more noise, like trucks, and I thought I heard a bulldozer coming down the street behind me. I looked and saw massive black outlines of some kind of vehicles moving towards me. I got down low and crawled close to the bushes.
“What the fuck?” I muttered to myself. They went up to my house and stopped. Then that far off whoomp, whoomp, whoomp turned into a thunderous roar almost strait over me. It was a helicopter, it looked like a black hawk, and then I noticed two pods on each side.
“Holy shit,” I whispered to myself, I knew they where holding missiles, probably six each.
Then I remembered about all the stories of the military coming evacuating every one from their house that had been on the news right after the story on that explosion downtown. None of the people interviewed knew much more than they where whisked out of their homes by some military official. People said they heard gunshots but details where very sketchy. Maybe I was about to find out.
The light came back to me, but it wasn’t my sight, a massive floodlight on the helicopter had light up my house and everything around it. Then I saw those vehicles where defiantly military, there was a goddamn tank in my front yard! I saw armored personnel carriers, with men pouring out of them. They surrounded my house; the men carried CAR-15/203 and M16/203s.
“Fuck, what the hell is this?” I muttered, but it was a bit too loud for me to feel comfortable, even though there was a helicopter overhead.
The helicopter moved over my house and ropes came down, then four figures.
“Go, go, go!” someone shouted, and then they busted through the door, lobbing flash bangs and some kind of smoke grenade. The men on her roof went through the window in my bedroom doing the same.
I got up and ran, but a dark figure stepped out from around a house. My vision blurred once more and I could see everything again.
“Stop!” he yelled, his voice muffled a gasmask. Then he shot, I felt a burning pain in my arm. He shot again, then everything slowed down and I saw the bullet fly over my head. Then he started shooting more. I ran at him, dogging bullets, dirt flying up behind me. I fell forward into a roll and sprung up kicking him in the chest. His gun fell next to him; I picked it up and pointed it at him.
“Asshole, you fucking shot me!” I yelled at him, I was mad, too mad. Then I lost control.
When I came back in control I saw him lying on the ground motionless, a bullet hole through his chest and a spreading pool of blood under him, smoke curled up from the barrel of the CAR-15. The smell of spent gunpowder filled my nostrils. Then I Ran.
I went down the road, bullets flying past me, I ran as fast as I could. Then a short while later I stumbled and fell, I looked back and there was a figure in a black cloak and hood. I raised the weapon at it.
“Wait! I’m here to help you” a female voice said.
“How,” I asked.
“Well right now I’m your only friend, now common, I’ll explain later!” she said. Then she disappeared into an open manhole
“Down there?” I asked.
“It’s just a mechanical tunnel, and right now it’s the only place safe,” she replied, “common!” Then bullets snapped over my head, I took no time getting down there, and then closed the cover.
“Who are you?” I asked while hopping off the ladder.
“I’ll explain everything later, we must go” she said, and then she started traveling down the tunnel. I followed her, only inches behind.
After a while my whole body started to tingle, I thought nothing of it. We kept going for a long time, maybe hours. Then I felt that tingle again, but this time everything went black, I fell hard.
When I woke up I saw a feline face looking back at me, for a minute I thought it was a cat, well I was kind of right.
“Are you alright?” she asked.
“Did you rescue me?” I asked kind of dazed.
“Well not really rescue, but yes I helped you a bit.” She said.
“Thanks.” I said, and then I passed out again.
When I woke again I looked around, I was in a room on a nice bed, and there was carpeting, wall paper, and a beanbag in the corner. Then the door opened and she walked in. I looked at her, she was an anthromorphic feline, she was chestnut brown with white accents and a black streak down her back. She was dressed in tattered clothes, obviously they where the only ones she had.
“Y-you’re a... a...” I stuttered.
“Yes, that’s why you’re here, well not because of me per say,” she thought for a moment, “well I’ll explain all I can, and honestly we don’t really know.”
“We,” I asked, “Who’s we?”
“There are four of us, and we know where definitely anthromorphic. That’s almost the weirdest thing, before this all happened, we all where furrs, err... before we got furry,” She pointed at herself indicating her form, “and I’d bet anything you are to.”
“Like anthro and stuff?” I asked, but I already knew the answer.
“Well can’t you tell?” she asked, she almost knew what I just thought.
“Yeah, but how can this be happening?” I asked.
“Well we don’t really know all we do is that where now anthromorphic, obviously something happened to all of us.” She said.
“You say us to much... Is it going to happen to me to?” I asked nervously.
“It’s already started.” She said in a calm voice.
I I just sat there and thought to myself, how could this be happening? Then I thought of something.
“Hey, where you downtown,” I thought for a minute, “umm... on Thursday?”
“Yes, I think so...” she trailed off.
“What was the last thing you remember?” I asked, getting a bit interested.
“Well I was walking down the sidewalk by some building, something new, Bio-Tech or Bio Something. Then there was a really loud noise, when I woke up I was at home laying on the floor of the living room.” She said.
“That’s what I remember, but I woke up on the sidewalk feeling really bad, when I got up I smelled something weird. Then got on a bus later and came home, I was throwing up all night.” I said.
“I got really nauseous later that night and threw up a few times.” She said.
“Wait! I remember there was something on the news about an explosion at some place called Bio-Insights. I looked up Bio-Insights on the internet and... I...” I couldn’t speak, when I tried all that came out where raspy growls. Then my body went numb, I felt warmth spread from my toes up my body. The warmth washed over me, and then everything stopped.
I was standing in darkness, all around me there was nothing but black. Then I heard something coming towards me. I turned, then everything turned white and I was staring in to the eyes of a raptor. It was black with red spikes running down its neck from its head. There where red spots accenting its body and its eyes seamed to glow, they where calming and almost inviting. I reached out to touch it and placed my hand on its chest, and then a brilliant glow surrounded me.
It burst into light, and moved towards me, disappearing into the glow around me making it grow brighter. My hand felt like it was covered in warm liquid, I looked at it and there was a claw, then the skin on my arm started melting away in to scales. Everything that changed felt like it was covered in the warm liquid, as it moved to my head it got cold. I screamed but as it washed up over my mouth all that came out was gargling noises. Then everything flashed black and I was out.
When I woke once more I was still in the room, but I had rolled off the bed and was now laying on the floor tangled in the sheets and my tattered clothes. She was gone; I had yet to find out her name. I looked myself over and noticed I looked mostly the same, besides the scales covering my body. The biggest changes where my hands, feet, and head (though I now had claws instead of hands and feet). I felt my head with my claw/hand and found my hair was gone, and then I felt my face. There was a snout now where my mouth had been and my eyes where spaced farther apart.
I was staring cross-eyed at my snout when the door opened; I calmly turned.
“I don’t know your name yet.” I said, almost matter-of-factly.
“It’s Lauren.” She said.
I got up and walked towards her.
“Well you can call me Klondi,” I paused, “Lauren.” I reached out to shake “hands” with her, witch turns out to be very difficult between a claw and paw.
“Well you seem to be calm about all of this now.” She commented.
“Err... well I guess, I just don’t feel so nervous now.” I said.
“You might as well meet everyone else, common follow me.” She turned and walked out into the hallway. I followed her down it and then we turned left into a large room.
When we walked in I saw a brown otter morph on a couch, a tiger morph draped over an armchair, and a dark orange and white fox morph lying on the floor. They where engaged in idle conversation before we walked in, when they saw me they sat up.
“Hello there.” The fox said.
“Umm... Hi.” I said my voice a bit raspy.
“Hi!” the otter and tiger said in unison.
“Err... well hi to you to.” I said back.
“Hey everyone, this is Klondi.” Lauren said.
“I’m Kenneth; you can just call me Ken.” The tiger said.
“It’s Jason.” The fox said.
“I’m Tommy, a pleasure to meet you Klondi.” The otter said getting up to shake my claw. I reached out and met his paw; there was another awkward “handshake”.
“Well hello again, Ken, Jason, and is it Tommy or just Tom?” I asked.
“Tom is fine.” He said. Then I went and sat down on the couch, something else awkward, sitting down with a four foot tail.
I looked around, there where cement walls and no windows, I guessed we where in a basement, probably of some abandoned building. It was quite nice for the conditions though.
“Well... I don’t really know what to say to a roomful of anthromorphs.” I said.
“Join the club.” Ken said dryly.
There was a long awkward pause. Then Lauren broke the silence by saying,
“Well what’s your favorite food?”
Then we all broke out in laughter, but it quickly turned to little giggles and hiccups as we found out we couldn’t really laugh in these forms. Then I felt a dull thud as my tail hit Tom and knocked him off the couch.
“Oh god I’m sorry, I forgot I had a tail back there.” I said half giggling.
“Don’t worry about it, we still haven’t mastered these bodies yet and you’re the newest one here, It’s ok, just watch that thing.” He said while rubbing the back of his head. After that we just started talking about random subjects to pass the time. I called it quits after a little while, I was exhausted. I went back to the bedroom and collapsed on the bed.
Something poked me; I growled and then turned over in the bed. I got poked again, this time I swatted at the air. I was poked again and I got up to see what it was I saw something looking back at me. Then my eyes adjusted and there where three men around the bed with guns pointed at me, startled I jumped backwards. Bad move. There was a hallow whoomp and then I felt a sharp pain. I moved a hand to it and found a dart sticking out of my leg; I pulled it out and looked up. There where six men now and two doors, everything went blurry and then I was out.
I was fading in and out of consciousness, images flashed before me. When I woke up I was on a table held down with restraints. I looked around and I was in a white room with a big light over me, I heard the crunch of the paper gown I was in and looked down. Then I noticed I was me. I looked at my arm, there where no scales, I felt my face, the snout was gone to. I was human again.
Then a door opened and I looked to see a man walk in, he was dressed in a nice suit, had a tie, some cologne, and a nice haircut. He walked up to me.
“Hello ma'am, I’m agent Doster, CIA.” He said.
“What happened?” I croaked, my mouth and throat where dry from not drinking in... Well I don’t know how long.
“There was an explosion at a military research facility, you have been contaminated.” He explained, as though he wasn’t talking to me, but he was.
“Contaminated, by what, how?” I asked.
“That’s classified ma’am.” He said, his tone getting more serious.
“I was contaminated by something and you cant tell me how?” I said.
“Ma’am the government is willing to, shall we say, make up for it.” He said.
“How, or is that classified to?” I asked, being a smartass.
“Well where willing to compensate for your losses, we think you may like our offer.” He dug around in his suit, and then he pulled out a slip of paper and handed it to me. I looked it over, it was a check made out to me for one million dollars, my eyes light up.
“Of course, consider me compensated for.” I said, feeling a *bit* excited.
“You will be released shortly, good day ma’am.” He got up to walk away.
“Wait, what about the contamination?” I asked him.
“Ma’am I told you its classified, I don’t even know what it was.” He said.
“No I mean am I still contaminated?” I asked getting a bit worried.
“If you where do you think I would be in here?” He asked.
“Well what about everyone else?” I asked.
“Right about now someone else is talking to them about this.” He said.
I thought to myself for a minute, something seamed a bit weird.
“Well a million dollars seems like kind of a lot, how long have I been in here?”
“You have been in this facility for about a week now recovering, but you have been in another place for about three months.” He said, emphasizing place funny, almost like he didn’t even know.
“A million still sounds like a lot for just three months, normally I would only make about two thousand in three months, why so much?” I asked, then quickly added, “not that I don’t like it.”
“Oh yes, you cannot tell anyone about this, you can’t even discuss this with the other people that where exposed,” He looked me in the eyes, “I can’t say what will happen if you do, It just wont be anything good. Now if you do not have any more questions I’ll send the doctor in to check you over and you’ll be out of here.”
“Nope I’m fine.” I said.
“Now how did you get contaminated?” He asked.
I thought for a second, and then I remembered what he said.
“I got contaminated, how?” I said.
“That’s a good girl, now you take care of yourself.” Then he walked to the door and turned back, “you where never here.”
About three minutes passed then the door opened and a woman in doctors fatigues walked in.
“Hi there, I’m going to look you over real quick to make sure you’re ok.”
She listened to my heart and lungs, poked me to feel for tenderness, and then gave me a shot.
“Ok, you’re fine; you will need to take one of these pills every week to prevent reoccurrences of whatever you had.” She handed me a bottle of huge pills, they looked like those big peanut M&M’s, “what ever you do don’t take more than one a week.”
“Why?” I asked.
“I don’t know, by the size of those I would say to wait at least eight days, they told me you shouldn’t skip either.” She said.
“Umm... is that it, can I go now?” I asked.
“Yes, go out the door and to the left until you see your friends.” She said. I thought for a minute, well I guess they are my friends.
“Ok, thanks.” I said, and then I walked out the door.
I walked until I saw a group of people not in uniforms, must be them.
“Klondi, over here!” one of them yelled out.
“Lauren?” I asked.
“Yeah it’s me.” She said.
“Ok now all of you are here we can get going.” One of the men in uniform said.
“Hey you know where I live, find me later.” I whispered to Lauren.
Then we where whisked away in different directions by two armed men each, loaded on helicopters while blindfolded, taken to different places, put in different cars, and brought back to our houses.
Ending notes
Bio-Insights’ contract with the government was canceled; they continued their research and where later shut down. Klondi, Lauren, Ken, Tom, and Jason Where later reunited at Klondi’s house and past that stayed good friends. The others affected by the explosion died at the scene, there where only five who lived. Klondi found hidden surveillance devices in her home, she dismantled them and searched her home for all others, finding all but one, witch she later accidentally crushed by sitting on it, she then told the others of this and helped them find and dismantle the devices in their homes. The pills failed, after the last ones where gone there was not enough of the drug in their systems to stop the contamination from hitting again, they soon learned to control and could change whenever they wanted. The government feared they would speak about what happened to them and every year sent checks for “significant” amounts of money. The five later put their money together to build a large home for all of them, on a much bigger piece of land, where they now live. All of them have developed a “special” friendship with each other.

“Hello ma'am, I’m agent Doster, CIA.” He said.
“What happened?” I croaked, my mouth and throat where dry from not drinking in... Well I don’t know how long.
“There was an explosion at a military research facility, you have been contaminated.” He explained, as though he wasn’t talking to me, but he was.
“Contaminated, by what, how?” I asked.
“That’s classified ma’am.” He said, his tone getting more serious.
“I was contaminated by something and you cant tell me how?” I said.
“Ma’am the government is willing to, shall we say, make up for it.” He said.
“How, or is that classified to?” I asked, being a smartass.
“Well where willing to compensate for your losses, we think you may like our offer.” He dug around in his suit, and then he pulled out a slip of paper and handed it to me. I looked it over, it was a check made out to me for one million dollars, my eyes light up.
“Of course, consider me compensated for.” I said, feeling a *bit* excited.
“You will be released shortly, good day ma’am.” He got up to walk away.
“Wait, what about the contamination?” I asked him.
“Ma’am I told you its classified, I don’t even know what it was.” He said.
“No I mean am I still contaminated?” I asked getting a bit worried.
“If you where do you think I would be in here?” He asked.
“Well what about everyone else?” I asked.
“Right about now someone else is talking to them about this.” He said.
I thought to myself for a minute, something seamed a bit weird.
“Well a million dollars seems like kind of a lot, how long have I been in here?”
“You have been in this facility for about a week now recovering, but you have been in another place for about three months.” He said, emphasizing place funny, almost like he didn’t even know.
“A million still sounds like a lot for just three months, normally I would only make about two thousand in three months, why so much?” I asked, then quickly added, “not that I don’t like it.”
“Oh yes, you cannot tell anyone about this, you can’t even discuss this with the other people that where exposed,” He looked me in the eyes, “I can’t say what will happen if you do, It just wont be anything good. Now if you do not have any more questions I’ll send the doctor in to check you over and you’ll be out of here.”
“Nope I’m fine.” I said.
“Now how did you get contaminated?” He asked.
I thought for a second, and then I remembered what he said.
“I got contaminated, how?” I said.
“That’s a good girl, now you take care of yourself.” Then he walked to the door and turned back, “you where never here.”
About three minutes passed then the door opened and a woman in doctors fatigues walked in.
“Hi there, I’m going to look you over real quick to make sure you’re ok.”
She listened to my heart and lungs, poked me to feel for tenderness, and then gave me a shot.
“Ok, you’re fine; you will need to take one of these pills every week to prevent reoccurrences of whatever you had.” She handed me a bottle of huge pills, they looked like those big peanut M&M’s, “what ever you do don’t take more than one a week.”
“Why?” I asked.
“I don’t know, by the size of those I would say to wait at least eight days, they told me you shouldn’t skip either.” She said.
“Umm... is that it, can I go now?” I asked.
“Yes, go out the door and to the left until you see your friends.” She said. I thought for a minute, well I guess they are my friends.
“Ok, thanks.” I said, and then I walked out the door.
I walked until I saw a group of people not in uniforms, must be them.
“Klondi, over here!” one of them yelled out.
“Lauren?” I asked.
“Yeah it’s me.” She said.
“Ok now all of you are here we can get going.” One of the men in uniform said.
“Hey you know where I live, find me later.” I whispered to Lauren.
Then we where whisked away in different directions by two armed men each, loaded on helicopters while blindfolded, taken to different places, put in different cars, and brought back to our houses.
Ending notes
Bio-Insights’ contract with the government was canceled; they continued their research and where later shut down. Klondi, Lauren, Ken, Tom, and Jason Where later reunited at Klondi’s house and past that stayed good friends. The others affected by the explosion died at the scene, there where only five who lived. Klondi found hidden surveillance devices in her home, she dismantled them and searched her home for all others, finding all but one, witch she later accidentally crushed by sitting on it, she then told the others of this and helped them find and dismantle the devices in their homes. The pills failed, after the last ones where gone there was not enough of the drug in their systems to stop the contamination from hitting again, they soon learned to control and could change whenever they wanted. The government feared they would speak about what happened to them and every year sent checks for “significant” amounts of money. The five later put their money together to build a large home for all of them, on a much bigger piece of land, where they now live. All of them have developed a “special” friendship with each other.
THE END... For now
