This story is closed for ACursedDreamer and AmbrosiaCaress... we hope you will read along and enjoy this tale of the Howling...
~ Alex paused in the long hallway that lead to the containment area. She much preferred that room to the chill of the basement. That was where most of the subjects were kept, in the darkness of the basement. There were 3 cages... cells... whatever one wanted to call them, on the first floor level, the containment area was what the Doctor called it. Whichever subjects were being.. watched at the time, were kept in those ... cages..
Alex did not try to fool herself. This was a dangerous game, being played with some dangerous people. Most were criminals, in prison for a variety of offenses, stemming from rape to car theft to drugs... "No killers" her Boss, the Doctor, had said. "I do not want to subject the mind of a killer to my... experiments" was the rational. The subjects had no choice in the matter. They were chosen for various reasons, good behavior mostly, more intelligent than the average crook. A couple were chosen because they had slight, psychological issues. The Doctor was curious if the drugs... the experiments would work better on a mind that was slightly, off kilter, so to speak.
Alex did not know the nature of the experiments, she was not privy to that information. She was there as the caretaker, to feed, water, and observe the subjects during the day and at night.
Tonight, the 3 upper floor cages were occupied, all 3 had been given a high concentration of whatever it was the Doctor was working with. Alex didn't know what it was, if she had she may not have ever volunteered for this job. She needed the money this job paid, but did she need it that badly? If she had known that her Boss, the good Doctor, was playing god, perhaps not. But Alex did not know that. She did not know that her Boss, Doctor Karyn Michaelson, a Doctor of Genetics and Biology, was trying to recreate horror...
Karyn Michaelson was trying to create.. a werewolf... using the genetic cells of human, and canine...wolf. The woman was a genious, and if anyone could do something so chilling, so completely wrong, as to create a werewolf, a creature of fantasy that may or may not have existed so many centuries ago, it would be her. None knew of her experiments, none knew what she was trying to create. All thought she was researching the cure for some horrible disease, or some mind alerting psychosis... when in reality, she was trying to create those very same things..
Not even Alex knew....
None of the other employees of the Lab knew what the good Doctor was doing. Alex was the only other female. The other employees were male, which included another Lab Tech, and several guards. All blissfully unaware... The Doctor did not want the subjects to find out what she was trying to do to them, nor did she want her financial backers to find out. Silence was the best option for her. She alone would bare this burden.
Alex was on duty tonight.. she had her notebook, her laptop, and a cup of strong coffee. Her deep crimson red mane was tied back in a ponytail, golden eyes already dimmed with sleep. She had not slept well the night before, dreams, nightmares had kept her up for most of the night... and tonight she had to be up all night yet again. She knew it was going to be a long, long night.

2 of the subjects Alex had observed before, one was the car thief, Alex found herself chatting with him about cars and the like.. he was a wealth of information.. the other was one of the drug dealers. Alex didn't like him. He was an ugly brute and never said much of anything. She got the feeling he liked the prick of the needle the Doctor was injecting him with just a little too much and the high that seemed to come with it. The 3rd was one she had not observed before, other than feeding and water. She was not sure what he had done. She only knew of the car theif and drug dealer because the car theif, a skinny, wirey man named Imez... told her.
As she rounded the corner, the 3 cages, and the men within, came into view.... ~

Alex Clarke
20 years old
Deep crimson red mane
Golden eyes
Working at the Lab to make money for school..
She lives alone, in the city, orphaned at the age of 12, she was not lucky enough to find a foster home that was willing to except her.. she never knew why....and spent her teen years in a group home, an orphanage.. she was and is a loner, without many friends. She works almost constantly during her semester breaks, she has been on many dates, but she never lets anyone close enough to go any further than that. As beautiful as she is, she prefers to be alone, at work. Her only pleasure comes from her daily bike rides to and from the Lab, which happens to be located outside the city in a more, rural.. setting.
