Cut & Paste

Charlotte

This was it I was escaping! Freedom! I could almost feel it. I owed Whitney big time and I felt a little guilt at not trusting Jesse. I thought back to Whitney. She was a nice girl, maybe I would see her around.

I stopped all my thoughts. Even as I tried to deny it, I had gotten attached. She was possibly the only person who had been nice to me here.

Maybe we could surviv this together. I tried to let this thought give me hope, but I knew it wouldn't happen. She would go off with her brother, and it would be too dangerous to stick together. We might draw attention to ourseleves and I definetly didn't want to come back here.

I sighed. I was going to be alone again. Normally this didn't bother me, but today I felt an overwelming sadness. Goodbye, Whitney, I thought, not allowing the it to travel to her.

David~~

When one came to be, I saw Red give me the signal. Quickly, but carefully I unlocked her, and Cam's cells. Before they ran out I stopped them, went over to the other three guards, who were all looking over a screen, and took my gun out, and gave them each to tranquilizers.

"Now come on," I said and Red came out, in full animal shape.

"Get them out," Cam said quickly, and I released a group, who quickly ran for it when I released them.

"And the rest," Cam instructed, and I released the rest.

"Now John, don't run for the fence until I got the hole in, okay?" I asked.

"Yeah," He said, a bit reluctantly.

"Good," I said and we took off, "Now any of you who can go smaller then you are, when we get in the water do that, less weight for Cam. If your a large animal, stay human, and if Cam can't carry everyone, strongest swimmers off first, go animal if they are, and try to keep up, if any trouble I'll try to grab you, but it might not be much help, and if worse We can come back for you, so try to tread till then. Any flires, you got to fly out of here, but stay close, and when we get near the shore, try to distract the out side guards for a bit. Once we get to the surface, all go animal, big ones don't fight, but run, hide, and fight only if you are right next to a guard," I took a breath, "Everyone got that?"

Everyone nodded, "Good," I continued, "Now Red will be leader when we are on the island still, follow her directions to fight, and dodge. And do not go to the fence till I stay so, or we won't be able to save you. Now come on," I said right as we entered the out side. It was dark out, and very quiet, "Stay down, small transformations, go small," I heard a morphs, then we went forward.

I looked frantically for something sharp, to rip the fence with, and was in luck when I checked my pocket, and found a knife in sheath. The blade was long and sharp, plenty good to tear it with.

"Now, stay here," I whispered, and went to the fence.

Phillip

When the first cell was open, his eyes widened in surprise as his muscles flinched under his skin. They were escaping... He suddenly found himself flinging towards the cell bars, his body changed completely into a fox as his teeth knawed at whatever they could find, wanting nothing but escape. His cell door opened though, a man walking by, and he felt sudden gratitiude wash over him. If he was a human he would have said how terribly thankful he was, but he knew he must escape and quickly fled, his small fox body but merely a fraction of the size of most of the animals and humans.

Freedom, He thought with a sudden hope. An excitement that welled up within his chest. Almost there now... freedom is only inches away.

He nearly lost himself before hearing the one man so "Do not approach the fence", and he quickly stalled his feet, sliding inches away in the dirt. He shook his head embarassed.

Jesse

She slipped into the guard room, which was unattended for they were doing their rounds. She looked around lightly hoping to find some big red shiny button that would allow her to turn off the fences, yet unfortunately, it more complicated than that. Looking at the switches, the instructions blurred together.

Slide the yellow panel down. There was at least four yellow panels. She took a guess and pulled down too.

Press code 647. She looked around timidly and saw that the numbered key board was to her left. Gently, she walked over there, trying not to make loud noises or sudden movements. She ambled over to it, and dialed the numbers carefully so that she would not make any mistakes.

The screen will flash 'Turn off basic security fence' Press the small arrow bellow 'Yes'. She waited for the Partials to appear to do so. They would be free in a matter of minutes. But a couple minutes went by and they weren't there.

Jesse felt herself look over to the clock, examining the clock scrutiningly. They were late, and she had no intention of being caught up here. That would do no justice to either of them.

~Incognito

Can anyone bring me in?

You can post for the escape, like get a battle going, I would, but I just did a post for the beginning of the escape, and if I post I would have to end it really, because I'm supposed to be breaking it down, and that would be unfair for me to start and end it, before any one can really post about it.

Dr. Julius Barrick

Barrick sighed, setting aside a few brain scans. He still couldn't figure out where the mood swings were coming from... Barrick rubbed his face distractedly.

Barrick pushed back the conference room's chair, and stood up. He stored the brain scane in a file cabinet, then walked out. Barrick nodded to a pair of guards on their evening rounds.

Suddenly, however, a long, thin wail spread throughout the building. Barrick and the guards looked at each other. Barrick's jaw tightened. He recognized the alarm as the signal for a fence failure.

"Go! Get out to the fences! No one get in or out!" cried Barrick anxiously. The guards ran off. "I want them all in one piece!" Barrick shouted after them.

Turning away, Barrick swore violently. He sped off toward the guard room. Barrick had to get those fences turned back on... If anything else failed besides the fences, the whole island would be at the Partial's mercy. Barrick knew from experience that the Partials would find only pleasure in destroying everything that was created in the compound.

Barrick slowed to a panting halt as he reached the guard room's door. He frantically punched in the entrance code. His fingers fumbled, and the code was rejected. Barrick swore again. He forced himself to stop trembling, and punched in the code again.

This time, the door slid open. Barrick stepped into the room, his eye automatically looking at the security monitors. Barrick groaned as he saw the group of Partials breaching the first fence.

Barrick shifted his gaze to the control board. A figure stood haunched over the switch to turn the second fence off, her eyes glued to the security monitors. In the guard room's dim light, Barrick couldn't make out who the person was.

"Get away from there," Barrick snarled, taking a step forward. The figure glanced back at him, back at the monitor, and quickly flicked the first fence back online. For a brief moment, the wailing alarm stopped. Then she flicked another switch and the alarm started back up. Barrick cast a glance at the security monitors. His worst fears were confirmed. The Partials were now breaching the second fence. Barrick turned back to the figure.

"Do you know what you have done?" Barrick spat dangerously.

**Hope this is okay! If not, I'll edit it...

Whitney

We had made it over the first fence, at least Charlotte and Josh and some ferrety looking boy made it. (That's you I think LaReina).

I knew though that I couldn't take it all for granted yet. We still had another fence and we could only hope that Jesse hadn't been caught.

We plunged into the water and I grasped the metal coils of the next fence, it was safe. I started climbing and the others did too. I was near the top when I was suddenly shocked and thrown backwards.

"I knew we couldn't trust a scientist!" Charlotte yelled.

"She must have been caught!" I screamed over the loud sirens that had started, signaling a break.

"Look over there!" Josh pointed down the fence. The other group of partials was climbing over the fence a few at a time with the help of a partial who seemed to be able to channel the electricity.

I ran to them and the others followed. I just hoped they would help us.

"Can you get a few others over too?" I asked as we splashed to a stop near them.

David~~

"Sure" I said, and then went down to cut the other fence, It was hard to do under water, but with my gill in I was able to get it done.

"Okay everyone through the gate, remember my words, you four, just follow my instructions. Stanley, go ferret and grab on to Cam, Charlotte, go eagle (right?) and fly over, and tiger twins, stay human and grab Cam two," They nodded at my words, then I turned eel, slip through the fence and monitored the others, hoping we would make it.

Yay! Thanks! Time for Stanley to make his entrance!

Stanley

Stanley had sprinted along behind the others, gasping for air as he did, his hand on his chest. He didn't know how much farther, so as they ran, he pulled out his 'puffer' and took a deep breath, gulping the air down. His legs felt wobbly and all jelly-like, and his face felt as though it were the underside of a hot pan. All in all, Stanley hadn't the slightest idea why he had to become a partial in the first place.

All the while, though, Stanley still found it in him to mumble, "We're gunna be killed" a million times aloud, though it was really only low enough for everyone to hear a mumble of gibberish. A few times the girl who was leading him had to spin around and hiss at him to shut up. Though they were trying an epic escape at the moment, Stanley still felt his chest quivering inside him, tears building up beneath his eye lids. He didn't think they liked him, either.

Stanley took a deep breath. "S-s-s-sorry."

The one girl started wading into the water, and scaled up the fence, only to be electrocuted at the top. Stanley flinched back, closing his eyes. He wanted so bad to cry out with all th fear that was welling inside him, but somehow he found himself able to resist the urge, and keep his mouth clamped shut.

They reached another group - one who had a half-eel boy - and he instructed Stanley to turn ferret. "M-m-m-m-m-me?"

Stanley couldn't help but feel the hot stares on his face. His right eye twitched. "They hate me ... they all hate me ..." Stanley mumbled to himself, his eyes wide like a gold fish's, his right one twitching a few more times, much more noticeably than before.

Stanley, though, before morphing looked for the 'Cam'. All the teens looked so ... cool. He felt like such a nerd. Stanley was led to a girl, Cam, who had piercing black eyes, silky raven- black hair and pale skin. Stanley blushed, and looked down.

"I-I-I'm S-Stanley," Stanley stammered out, sticking his hands deep into his pockets to ensure that no one saw them shaking. He remembered the time a guy in his class had mocked him. "T-T-T-Today junior!".

Stanley took out his puffer, again, to grab some more air. Blushing - since he had to be even more geekish in front of all these girls - he took a deep breath. Then, Stanley closed his eyes, and morphed into a ferret.

"I'm ready, I'm ready," Stanley stammered, twice, still looking at the girl, awaiting any more commands. He ran in a few circles, around everyone's ankles. Stanley hadn't the slightest clue why they'd even decided to bail him out; he didn't fit in, as usual.

Sorry if there's a bunch of spelling mistakes. For some reason I can't spell at all today!

John

"good times" I said to David as I stood next to him watching the chaos. He laughed and nodded and I ran off. I grabed a guard and spun him around griping him over my leg before starting to kick him. I ran up to another puched him into the fence were he sizzeled. Bang a gun shot rang out over the other sounds and I looked round to see Buzz cut with an assult rifel. Payback I thought and ran up behind him I was about to just kick when I saw a rope I graned it and wraps it round his neck before pullin tightly He droped his gun and began to choke.

"who's on a leach now asshole" I said as he whessed his last breath. Suddenly I became aware that the scientist were running away from the building. What the hell I thought before I heard the sound of a countdown.

"shit" I muttered to my self before running away as fast as I could.

"hey man I think we can stay a little longer" David said I shook my head and grabed him we both plunged into the water as the island exploded.

***

"John, John wake a up" I heard Davids voice say.

"just leave him we gotta go Daivid" I heard Philip say

"no I'm good" I said haizily opening my eyes.

"so what's the plan now" I said looking at the city that strected out in front of us.

Camryn:

After David gave orders to everyone, I nodded towards him, showing my consent.

I would be carrying three partials: Stanley, the ferret, and the white tiger twins, Josh and Whitney.

Stanley came my way first. "I-I-I'm S-Stanley," he said, obviously nervous. I pitied the guy. I didn't know how I could make anyone nervous, so I was hoping it was just the situation we were in that frightened him.

"I'm Cam," I said, smiling, although I don't think he heard me. He muttered to himself, shuffled a bit, and transformed. I grinned to myself as he ran circles around everyone's legs.

The tiger twins came next. "Hi, I'm Cam," I told them. They greeted me and introduced themselves. They were to stay in human form.

I watched David slip into the fence and sighed. I wondered how long it would be until we left, and the even more important thing- if we would live.

David~~

hurry I shouted to Cam, as I grabbed a knocked out John, and helped him onto Cam.


After that the trip was pretty boring, I stayed eel most of the time, leading the way. Sense I had been here plenty of times before, I knew where not to go. The first thing I did at the shore was tend to John.


"John, John wake a up" I said.

"just leave him we gotta go David" Philip said

"no I'm good" John said, "so what's the plan now" then stretched out in front of us.

"We have to get away," I said plainly.

"well that-" Red started, but was interrupted by gun fire.

"We have to split up," I said as we ran to the city, "Meet at Antonio's deli, my dad owns it. We can hide out there for a bit, before we move on."

Then with that the group divided up, me and John ran up with, someone I could not remember the name of, headed for the city.

_________________

Guys, head to the DT now, time to discuss.

Caleb

As far as he could tell, every Partial had escaped except him. Not that he cared, let them run. He was interested to see how long it would take before they worked out that this was the only place for them.

"Subject Harrison." Caleb looked up, seeing Doctor Barrick flanked by two guards. "How would you feel about going after the escapees?"

**Sorry it's short, gotta get to Easter lunch**

Red

"Everyone come on!" I yelled to my group.

We stalked into an alley and tried to stay out of sight. I had to check around corners and watch to see if anyone was following us.

After thirty minutes everyone was shivering from our wet clothes. I looked around to see if there was anything we could use.

A homeless shelter caught my eye. I strolled in with them following behind.

"Remember, look for things you wouldn't wear. Try to look different." They stared at me as I grabbed the nearest pair of scissors and searched for a bathroom.

***

Hopefully no one would recognize us. At least no one would recognize me.

I had chopped my hair short, in a boy cut basically. I choose closer fitting clothing. One of the women helping me found a beat up box of hair dye. I was now a red-head. Ironic, no?

"Let's go you guys. We need to get to that deli."

Even with our digused selves, I was cautionous, taking every alley and backway possible. The scientists didn't need the technology and numbers on their side.

But it helped.
