My last normal memory was several years ago... My birth... in a lab... And being separated from my mom... I remember it as if it was yesterday, that hand ripping me from the one I love most. I tried to pull away, but their grip was so strong I felt as if I was about to choke. I was then placed in a room filled with sharp things and glass containers filled with strange liquids. I looked around me, trying to process what had just happened.
A person with tangled brown hair and red eyes grabbed one of those sharp things, filled it with a metallic green liquid, and punctured it right through my skin. I gave a loud yelp, and tried to run away, but they grabbed me again. They stuck some weird metal green things into my skin, and put another one of those painful sharp things into my skin.
I was then placed in a cage with another cat. This one had dark grey fur and some... green spirals on her? This confused me very much, as cats didn't have green spirals where I was from. The cat looked over at me, hissed, and then began to lick herself.
"Um... hi," I said "I am Cassie, what is your name?"
The other cat looked over at me again, and then gave a small sigh. She looked down at her paws and went onto her side and fell asleep.
I decided to go to sleep, so I laid down and closed my eyes. No sooner did I fall asleep I was woken up. The grey cat who was in the same cage as me was gone. I looked around my cage, and decided to look at my reflection. Did I have green swirls on me now?
When I saw my reflection, I was shocked. My eyes were no longer amber colored, they were green, and instead of a black iris the iris was red. I had two white dots in each of my eyes, and I had three grey dots under my left eye.
I heard some loud noises and hissing, so I turned around. The grey cat was being held very tightly by two people, who were wearing thick black suits, probably to protect themselves from her claws, and were sticking things in her. The cat managed to slip away, and jumped over into my cage, and hissed very loudly at them. She shut the door to our cage and looked over at me.
"Oh... um, hi... How... are you... today?" I said to her.
She looked at the back of the cage, scowled, and looked at me "I am Stella... I could tell you were confused by my markings yesterday... Those people holding me were giving me shots that would change my characteristics. They are experimenting on innocent animals to see what they can do... It just burns to see innocent animals loosing their purpose. And this isn't the first time it has happened before, either. Several years ago, some cats were captured and genetically modified here. They managed to escape, but my great grandparents were caught... they have been testing my family ever since then... And now I am stuck here, probably never going to see the outside world again..."
I looked over at Stella. She had beautiful blue eyes, and her fur was the same color as my mom's... It was at that moment I realized that Stella was my sister, and I had never known her before until now... I looked at my reflection. I no longer resembled my mom. My eyes didn't even look like cat eyes, they looked more robotic than cat-like.
A person walked up to my cage and took me while I was distracted. Stella tried to stop them, but they shoved her away, and she got a huge scratch in her cheek. I tried to get out, but they placed me in a room that was very cold and damp. I could smell the scent of blood and dead animals here. Was I about to... die?
They gave me a shot and I fell asleep. I don't exactly know what happened after that, as they had me under something called anesthesia. I opened my eyes for a little bit of time, and my mouth was in a strange mask that smelled like strange gases. I was given another shot and then I was unconscious again.
After what felt like only a few seconds, which I was sure was really several hours, I was awake again. A person pulled off the mask from my face, and removed several wires off of me. However, when I looked around, everything had a strange greenish tint to it. I looked down at my paws. One paw was gone, and the other one was green.
A person wearing gloves walked up to me, holding onto what looked like a cat paw. They placed it where my paw was missing. I yelped, but after that it felt sort of peaceful. But then, something truly painful happened.
I was placed into a machine that almost sucked all of the air out of me, and a person holding onto tweezers walked up to be, placed them into my body, and took them out. On the tweezers was what looked like a misty cat. They put the strange misty cat in a jar, and I suddenly felt faint, and I felt myself fall down.
"Cassie? Cassie? Cassie?" I heard. I looked up, and I saw Stella. Her big blue eyes were looking at me, and she was tearing up.
"Why are you crying?" I said. But then, I turned around and looked at my reflection in the cage, and I realized what she was crying at.
Strange green things, which I now know are wings, were sticking out of my body. One of my ears looked as if it had been chopped off and put back on again- as if it didn't belong. I now had bangs, which were green at the tip. My paws were mismatched, and looked strangely robotic.
Stella's eyes flooded with tears, and she gave me a hug "Its okay, I have got you"
But then, things began to change. I looked back up at Stella, and she looked like the person who removed that ghostly cat from me- my spirit - and changed what I looked like. I suddenly felt a surge of anger towards Stella. I felt something float up, and then it ran directly over to Stella. It cut a huge marking on Stella's neck, and she fell over. She was dead.
A felt a huge surge of emotions in me that I had never felt before. I was no longer the sweet kitten I was at birth. I was separated from my mom, placed under anesthesia for no good reason, I had lost my soul, and now my sister was gone... This was all to much for me. I had to leave this place, before anything worse could happen to me.
I turned around and looked at the body that once was Stella, my only friend... Her body had turned pale, and her eyes were closed tightly. I couldn't stand looking at her. I began to cry, not like small tears, but large amounts of tears suddenly came out of my eyes, and I felt like they would never end. I fell down after a few minutes of crying, and began to dream.
I was in a barren field, no vegetation was there but parched and dead grass, and a few limp, leafless trees. In front of me was a pale grey cat who was floating a few inches above the ground. She looked a bit transparent, too. She had green wings that were detached from her body, and were floating up and down. She glided towards me, and touched my forehead. An image of a grey cat who looked similar to me, but with pink instead of green in her bangs, a pink heart-shaped marking on her right ear, and a spiky music note on her ear appeared in my mind, and suddenly vanished. She looked like she was scared of something, and I was sure it was me. Why wouldn't someone be scared of me? I was a murderer... I had killed my sister, and I no longer resembled one of my kind.
It was at that moment I woke up. Stella was still next to me. A scientist walked up to my cage, wrote some notes down onto their clipboard, and walked away. A few minutes later he and another scientist came back holding onto a box. They placed Stella in it, and threw it in the garbage.
