The room was small and bathed in shadows, a trio of iron bars covering the single window in the door that led out of what was in essence a cell. Upon first impression one would think that this tiny room housed some kind of criminal, a person who would be a danger to society and should be kept locked away from everyone else for their own safety. However any who harbored such thoughts would be about as far off the mark as it was possible to be when they actually entered the room and laid eyes on the inhabitant that was kept locked within. Sitting in one corner of the room, with his knees pulled up to his chest, was a small boy. Or what might have looked like a normal boy were It not for the pair of large fox ears that were perched atop his head and the bushy tail that was curled around his lithe body. The child was dressed in a loose fitting v-neck shirt and a pair of pants that were secured at his waist with a drawstring, both of which were white, the little boy actually looking reminiscent of a mental patient. This was not the case although he was being held against his will, the victim of a kidnapping that had left authorities baffled.

Or at least the story went that they were baffled however they had in actuality been misled on that, the organization that had taken the child having people on the inside to make sure that no traces of him were ever found and that nothing led back to them. Not that anyone would be able to tell that this was the same child that had been taken now, his appearance being so different now from what it had been before. When he was first taken he had been a black haired little boy with brown eyes but now his hair was an odd black and silver combination and his eyes were violet. Those weren’t the only changes that had came about as a result of the experiments that had been done on the child, he was also more similar to a wild animal now, feral and distrusting. Around his neck was a leather collar that was about a half inch wide and served the purpose of keeping him in check, the person with the control to the collar able to deliver a painful electric shock with the mere push of a button.

His name was Tristan Fherol however that was not what anyone at the lab had opted to call him and instead he had been given the moniker Fury, a reflection of his temperament and the animal that they now considered him. The collar that he wore around his neck actually bore that name on a little tag that was just like what one might see on the collar of a family pet or something of that manner. Not that any of the scientists saw this child as a pet, he was merely an experiment, granted he was their prize experiment since he was the first that had been successful. Before it had been tried on adults but they hadn't tolerated it at all well and all had had to be humanely euthanized however the first child that they'd attempted it on had been a success.

A soft keening noise left the lips of the eight year old as his violet eyed gaze shifted to the door of his ‘room’, one of his black ears twitching toward the door since he thought that he heard something. His senses had been heightened as a result of the experiments as well so what he was hearing could just be someone walking down the hall past his room but he had grown paranoid in the time that he was here considering the type of people that he was in contact with so he left nothing to chance and his guard was immediately up. A soft growl replaced the keening noise, his ears going back in an aggressive manner as he kept his gaze focused on the door, his muscles tense as he waited to see which of the scientists was going to make an appearance on this particular day.

Dr. Isabella De Rosa had worked for this company for about five years now and she was very happy there. They had amazing benefits and pay, and she was able to do what she wanted for the most part except when they had what the higher ups called 'special projects' that needed her expertise, which usually just meant she had to whip up whatever formula the guys in research sent her so they could test it. She had no idea what they did, though she was extremely smart-genus level even-so she could read the formula and know that it had something to do with genetic alterations but she wasn't sure what they were genetically altering, though she knew it had something to do with a fox. So she just thought that they were trying to create a new breed or a hybrid fox or something and honestly couldn't care less about that so she whipped up their injections and returned to her research. She likely would have continued to be blissfully unaware of what the others were up to had she not started to hear excited whispering about the 'amazing success with that child', though she never heard what child they were talking about and what success they had managed to get with it but it was enough to make her suspicious.

So one day she decided she was going to find out, since she had clearance to get pretty much where ever she wanted and there were no cameras inside the building only at the doors to make sure that nothing left that wasn't supposed to be leaving. They were doing groundbreaking work here after all, it made sense not to have video footage of that which would be stolen by their competition. She was reading through her research notes when she was startled by a loud voice calling out, "Izzy! How about that date tonight?", startling her enough that she jumped and made an irritated sound as she looked over at one of her co workers that she really couldn't remember the name of. "Same answer as every night" She told him, sounding annoyed but he just laughed and shook his head at her, "Try not to stay all night Izzy" He said, waving to her and heading out. That was when she decided to make her move since she knew that the knucklehead was usually the last to leave every day aside from her. She walked down to the research area, letting herself in and heading back to where she knew they usually kept their test animals. She walked down the rows of cages until she got to one on the end that had a chart beside it and she picked it up, frowning when she read through it and her frown quickly turned to a horrified look.

She was totally dumbfounded for a few seconds, unable to comprehend that the people she worked with had actually done an experiment like this on a child! She shook it off and stood there, undecided for a few moments before nodding to herself and opening the door of the childs cage, determining in that moment that she was going to get him out of here. She looked over to see the growling little guy, shocked at the ears and tail, and the startling unnaturally colored eyes. She shook that off again after a few moments and walked towards him, kneeling down when she got close without invading his personal space. "Hello Tristan, my name is Izzy. I want to get you out of here, please come with me quietly, we cant let security hear us" She said, holding her hand out to him and waiting to see if he would take it so she could get the child out of here. What she would do with him afterwards she wasn't sure but she knew she needed to make sure he was freed from this place.

Hearing the slight clicking noise that the door always made when it was going to be opened by someone, having growl intimately familiar with that noise in the time that he had been here, Fury kept his gaze locked on the door as it swung open. His muscles grew even tenser as first the unfamiliar scent assaulted his heightened sense of smell and then he caught sight of the unfamiliar woman that was seemed to hesitate for a moment before walking toward him. That caused another growl to leave his lips as Fury tried to scoot back farther but since he was already pressing against the wall there was really nowhere for him to go, which caused a gleam to appear in his violet eyes that was reminiscent of a cornered animal, which for all intents and purposes was what he was now. The instincts that had been triggered by the gene manipulation that he had undergone caused him to be extremely wary and since everyone who came around him seemed to hurt him in some way he naturally thought that she was going to do the same.

One of his large ears flicked forward when he heard her actually call him by his given name however since that was something that none of the others ever did so it gave him pause. The white tip of his bushy tail flicked back and forth as he gazed at her, seemingly trying to figure out what to make of her, his expression once again making him look like an animal rather than the little boy that he was. The instant that Izzy held her hand out to him Fury bolted to the other corner of his cage, whirling around and growling at her, baring his teeth and showing that he had four sharp little canine teeth. It was obvious that he didn't trust her, Fury thinking that she wanted to lure him over to her so that she could do some sort of horrible thing to him like all of the others. He didn't say a word to her so it wasn't even evident if he had the ability to speak though he was obviously capable of making noise since he was growling at her and actually went so far as to let out a high pitched little bark that was an exact match for what a fox in the wild might elicit. It appeared that the formulas had been incredibly effective with this child, making him a prime merger between human and silver fox.

Izzy of course had no idea just how badly this child had been treated in the past so she had no idea that her coming into the room and holding her hand out to him would scare him, but it quickly became obvious that was the case when the little thing bolted to the other side of the room from her. She thought for a moment that he'd looked curious about her or at least he hadn't seemed quite as terrified as when she walked in but that ended quickly. "It's okay Tristan, I'm not going to hurt you" She said to him, trying to be reassuring so that he wouldnt' freak out so much anymore. "I just want to help you, you can leave this place and no one will be able to hurt you anymore. You can come stay with me and I'll help you" She said soothingly, kneeling where she was and not making any move towards him again. "Come on hon, take my hand and I'll get you out of here" She said softly, holding her hand out to him again without moving towards him since she wanted him to come to her so that he wouldn't be so scared. When that didnt' work either she sighed and got up, heading out and making sure to secure the door so he couldn't scurry away and get lost. She went to go and get a tranquilizer for him, not really wanting to do it but she needed to get him out of here tonight or she'd lose her nerve to steal him away since she knew that these people were not going to be happy when their little pet went missing. Once she had the tranquilizer she returned and unhappily aimed the gun at him, shooting it and sending a little dart into the childs arm. She waited patiently for the medicine to take full affect and then she returned the gun to its place and went inside to scoop the little guy up and take him home. Her heart was pounding in her chest as she bundled him up in a blanket and carried him out, knowing that the security cameras were going to catch her leaving with a bundle in her arms and that would make them suspicious of her. When she got to her car she settled him in the back and then started to drive for her place, hoping that he wouldn't wake up before she could get him home but if he did she'd just have to deal with it as best she could.

**CleverFox** · February 16th, 2013, 02:00 AM

Trust was something that most young children were good at giving, which was sort of what had gotten Fury into this mess to begin with, the little guy having trusted the wrong person and because he remembered that he wasn't about to allow it to happen a second time. So while he was curious about Izzy since she wasn't like the other scientists that he'd had dealings with all he could really focus on was the white coat and that linked her to all of the others that had hurt him. So while he was briefly curious, since both children and foxes were known for their curiosity, that faded when she held her hand out to him and he bolted across the room, putting himself in another corner and quickly whirling around to face her. He could easily hear the words that she was speaking to him but that didn't mean that he believed that they were true, the small boy shaking his head when she told him to take her hand and that she would get him out of here. Fury didn't think it was the truth and he wasn't about to give her his trust so he just shook his head and then watched as she left the room. That was just as confusing as her arrival since she hadn't done anything to him, this causing the child to briefly think that he'd been wrong about her, but that changed dramatically when she returned to his cage with a gun in her hands. Instantly the child was on his feet but before he could really do anything other than frantically look back and forth the woman had shot a dart in his arm and that caused him to all but go nuts. Tearing it from his arm he thrashed about the small confines of the cage, striking the walls which were thankfully padded and struggling against the drugs wildly for a few moments before the tranquilizer took affect and he slumped unconscious to the floor. He was completely unaware of what was going on as she gathered him up into her arms and carried him out of the building where he had been held since the strangers had coaxed him to go with them, the little guy remaining completely out of it during the car ride.

**animefangirl** · February 16th, 2013, 03:44 AM

Izzy really was a kind hearted person and had she known the sorts of things that were going on here she never would have stayed with this company this long nor would she have made the extremely complicated injections they'd used to genetically splice this child with the genes of a fox. Some small part of her was fascinated by the sight, curious despite her disgust with the situation and the fact that he acted so much like his animal side and even had fangs intrigued her, but first and foremost she saw him as a child and she wanted to save him from this hell that he'd been dragged into. So she tried her best to coax him to cooperate with her but when the child refused she was left with no choice but to tranqualize him and she felt bad about it when she saw the slightly betrayed look in his eyes as he shot up to his feet to look frantically around. She was started after she shot him and he started running around like a crazy thing, hitting hte walls and looking like he was going to hurt himself any second and she was almost relieved when he passed out so that didn't happen. Then she quickly gathered him up and took him to her car, driving home and was greatly relieved that he stayed knocked out. She carefully scooped him up when she got home and went inside through her garage, and after a few moments consideration took him to her spare bedroom and lay him down on the bed, walking over to lock the windows just in case but she doubted that would be needed since he was so small and they were high windows. THere was an attached bathroom if he needed it, nothing fancy it was just a small bathroom with a stand up shower and no tub but it served its purpose on the rare occasions that she actually had guests. After that she left him, locking the door behind him and then going to sit in her living room, shocked by what she'd done and the gravity of the situation sinking in. She'd stolen him from her company, a company that clearly had no problems testing genetic splicing on small children, and she had a sinking feeling that they were going to send someone after her to retrieve their little lab-fox and was thinking that she needed to get out of here before that happened. Maybe she could go to the authorities and get into witness protection or something, since surely this would be a serious enough crime to testify against her old employer and be protected by the program, along with Tristan.

**CleverFox** · February 16th, 2013, 03:58 AM

There was a small part of Fury that wanted to go to the woman that was holding her hand out to him and saying that she would take him away and keep him safe but he was a smart little boy and had learned from his previous mistake so he wasn't about to fall for the lines that she was trying to feed to him. So rather than accept her hand he growled and snapped at her, keeping his wary eyes focused on her until she left the room. He relaxed a degree once he was left alone however when she returned with the tranq gun the little boy was immediately on his feet, his ears pinned back and his eyes darting around as he tried to figure out how to escape. Before he could actually do that he felt the sharp prick of the dart that she had shot into his arm, this causing him to thrash around wildly before he finally collapsed. The little guy was completely oblivious to everything as he was taken from the lab and transferred to Izzy's house, Fury completely out of it for a little over a half hour after he was placed on the bed in the guest room. The first thing that he became aware of when he regained consciousness was the soft bed that he was laying on since that was something that he hadn't been given at the institute, he'd only had a blanket. Of course the next thing he realized was that he was somewhere strange and that served to make him panic, the little guy jumping to his feet and going to the window but he wasn't tall enough to reach that even by jumping for it so he turned his attention to the door. Fury tried to open it but he found that it was locked, the little guy getting frustrated and starting to hit the door as he let out a high pitched keening noise, his ears pinned back and his tail tucked between his legs. He was stressed because of what was going on and his heart started to race as he tried to get out of the room, feeling the desperate need to escape before something really bad happened to him. "Out!" he screeched, proving that he could still speak since he hadn't said anything to Izzy when she'd discovered him in the lab, though his voice sounded hoarse from lack of use, as though he hadn't spoken for quite some time.

**animefangirl** · February 16th, 2013, 04:21 AM

Izzy was hoping that she hadn't totally ruined things with the child when she was forced to tranquilize him, but her limited experience with kids let her know that they tended to be very forgiving so she was hopeful that even if Fury took offense to what she'd done he would get over it. She didn't really dwell on it for long though, she just waited for the drugs to take effect and then carried him to her car and then into her house. She looked at him after she settled him on the guest bed, still amazed by what science had turned him into even though she hated every part of what had happened to the little guy. She shook herself out of that after a few moments and left the room, locking it behind herself and going to the living room to wait for Fury to wake up even though it was late and she wanted to go to bed she knew that she really needed to wait for the child to get up first so she could try and talk to him. A half hour later she heard him thumping around in the room before he even started to pound on the door and screech about wanting out and she sighed, getting up and walking over to the door where she quickly opened it and entered without giving him a chance to slip past her. She closed the door again and locked it before looking down at the little boy that she had more or less just kidnapped. "It's alright Tristan, I told you I would get you out of there and no one would hurt you anymore, remember?" She said to him, keeping her tone carefully gentle as she waited to see how he would respond and hoped that he wouldn't be too upset and would try to calm down and process what she'd just told him. If he didn't she wouldnt' really hold it against the child but it would be frustrating to her. For now she was just going to wait and see how he reacted, watching him carefully since she remembered those teeth and claws of his and didn't want to end on on the receiving end of them anytime soon.

**CleverFox** · February 16th, 2013, 04:31 AM

Given that this was the second time that he had woken up in a strange place, the first time being after the men coaxed him into the van where they used chloroform to knock him unconscious and take him to the institute, Fury was sort of freaked out when he woke up in the bedroom where Izzy had left him. His first instinct was to go to the window and try to get out that way but he wasn't tall enough to reach, which frustrated him, and when he went over to the door he found that it was locked and that only served to further the little guy's frustration. So he ended up screeching that he wanted out, pounding his little fists on the door as though he thought that he could knock the thing from its hinges or something. Laughable given his small size but he was a child and not really prone to rational thought. When he first heard the sound of footsteps in the hall and then that of the lock being turned he quickly stepped back, prepared to dash out the door once it was opened however Izzy seemed to have anticipated that so Fury found himself unable to go through with that plan of action. Once the door was closed and locked again Fury quickly distanced himself from her, the boy's small hands going to the collar around his neck since he was fully expecting that she was going to zap him with it at any moment. "Bad," he told her, eying the woman warily since she was still wearing that white lab coat that he associated with all things bad. His tail was flicking around behind him in a nervous manner and his ears were still pinned to the sides of his head, the child's body language being very expressive, as were his eyes. "Not Tristan...not anymore," he added, his voice still hoarse and one of his ears pricked a tiny degree since his voice sounded strange to him but that was just because he hadn't heard it in so long. Fury was keeping his gaze focused on the woman, anticipating that she was going to do something and fully intending to bite her if she made any move to grab him since there was only one of her and he thought that he might be able to at least do some damage even if he wasn't big enough to really fight her. Odd thoughts for an eight year old to have but it was a reflection of the predator that they had made him. Yet even so there was an odd, longing look behind the wariness in his eyes since he was still just a little boy and that part of him wanted comfort even if he was too scared and mistrusting to accept that or seek it out.

**animefangirl** · February 16th, 2013, 01:31 PM

Izzy felt bad for the little guy when she heard him freaking out in her spare room, and she was a little worried that he would hurt himself or something so she didn't think to ditch the lab coat before she hurried down the hall and let herself in, but if she'd given it real thought she would have realized that it was likely going to make him more wary of her than if she had taken it off. She was careful to block the door on her way in and to close it quickly behind her, not wanting him to escape since that would just not be good for either of them. Once she was in the room she was a little confused when he immediately told her 'bad' and reached for his collar with a wary look, the woman of course not realizing that the collar was electrified otherwise that would have been another thing she was pissed about with her former colleges. "Not bad, Tristan. I'm not like the bad scientists" She told him softly, kneeling down to his level but not making any effort to walk over to him she just wanted to help him be comfortable talking to her if he could. She had no intention of going over to grab him so his wariness there was unfounded, and had she known that he thought that she would have reassured him on that one too but she didn't know so they missed out on that. She gave him a sad look when he told her that he wasn't Tristan anymore, her heart going out to the tiny child and she shook her head again. "No, you're not Fury. You are Tristan, you're a little boy who didn't deserve any of what they did to you. Come over here hon, let me take that collar off then we can talk" She said, giving him a beckoning gesture to try and encourage him to come over to her so she could see about removing his collar, she had tools if she needed them and she was determined that it was going to come off since she didn't think that a little boy needed to have a collar around his neck like an animal. Whether he came to her or not she went on to talk to him some more, wanting to help him feel at ease with her and maybe start to trust her a little bit. "How old are you Tristan?" She asked, thinking that maybe asking him questions that weren't related to the scientists and what had been done to him might be a good way to get him to calm down so that they could talk some more.
