Semirah was a happy, go-lucky teen, untill the scientists came. Before that, she was a rich, pampered, popular kid. She made friends easy, she was smart, she never had to worry about tests or arguments, ( Other than with her sister ), and was always on top of things. She's never had a boyfriend, but she wants one. All she ever sees are shallow jerks so far. Well, she never really found a guy that WASN'T a jerk. Then the day came, and her life as she knew it, was over...
Semi was in her room on her computer, tryin' to customize the colors and properties to make it look spiffy, then she heard a scream downstairs, and a loud thump. The thump managed to make her bank, ( It was like a piggy back, just not a pig ), fall off it's stand.The scream - It sounded like mom!She thought to herself. Havin' reflexes like the weird, strange, awesome thingy she was, she immediatly grabbed her metal pole and sprang out of her chair and flung herself down the stairs when she saw her sister dead on the floor, and her parents crying over to the side. " Wha- " She said tryin' to register what was happening. " There she is! " Said a stranger's voice pointing at her. " Mom- " Then she stopped. Her family who had been three feet behind her just four seconds ago, were dead. The five men who had come were taking their bodies and stuffing them in huge bags. Semirah's brain finally caught up with her as tears ran down her face. One of the men grabbed her and tried to give her a shot of some kind, when Semi grabbed her pole and began to attack him, to get him to let go of her. When suddenly she fainted onto the ground.
When she woke up, she was in a straight jacket in a cage of some sorts on a nice soft bed. Weird, was the first thought that came to her, weird that they would put such a nice bed in a cage! She looked up, and saw a face peering down at her. She recongized the face from one of the men who captured her. She tried to get up, but couldn't. Anger surged through her. She didn't speak, but she had a lot to say. After a few moments she did speak, but strangly calmly. " Where am I? " The scientist-looking people were surprised by her calmness. " Your in a lab. " Said the obviously in charge one. " Why? Why did you kill the people I care about? " Again, surprise filled their faces. " It was the only way. " Said someone else. Finally, the calmness went away for a second. " THE ONLY WAY! YOU COULD'VE JUST TAKEN ME! OR JUST HAVE POINTED A GUN AND TOLD ME TO FOLLOW! YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO - " The boss interupted. " Ssshhh....you'll hurt yourself with all that yelling. " " Yeah, like you really care! " He responded saying : " Actually, I do. I needed a cretain person for this experiment, so if something bad happens to you, something bad happens to the experiment. " Semirah turned cocky all of a sudden. " Oh yeah! Not the experiment! Oh, GOD NOT THAT! ANYTHING BUT THAT! NOT THE EXPERIMENT! NOOOO! " He laughed. Then placed a mask over her face and everything went black.....
When she woke up, she didn't acknowledge anything. She layed there untill reality came back to her. " Oh, right. Hey, where are those- " " Right here. " Said that voice again. That boss- guy. Semirah looked up and realized that she didn't have and chains or handcuffs or a straight jacket or...anything! No restraints! ...Oh, that's right....I'm in a cage. She remembered. Then asked in that strangely calm way : " What did you do to me? " He answered after a moment. " You taking this very well. Anyway, why don't you see for yourself? " Semirah stood and, to her surprise, he opened her cage. She stepped out, and followed him toward a mirror, ( A big one. ). She looked. Nothing looked different. Then she saw her neck. She had gills! I have gills! She thought to herself. At first she was happy, and if it wasn't for what he did to get her here, she might've hugged him. She'd always wanted to breathe under water. Then she saw her skin. It was shiny, like she had put on glitter lotion. It was pretty. So far so good.......Then she examined the rest of herself. She gasped a couple times, but nothing else, ( Yet. ). She had greenish blue scales on her palms. She had blue eyelashes, no body hair except her head hair, ( Which stayed the same ), and her eyebrows. Next, she she noticed she had one blue eye, and one brown eye. I had brown eyes before! Wait- how did I not notice the eye thing first? Next she lifted her bangs and nearly hurt herself gasping. She had a rain drop on her forehead! It looked like a tattoo, but she didn't know for a fact. The boss-guy nodded." I thought you might be shocked of that. " Semi turned toward him after a few minutes of not seeing anything else. " Any other surprises? " She said with a flick of her bangs to give effect. He nodded. He told her to follow him. Semi figured she probably should. He took her to a really weird white wall that looked like ice or plastic. He took her hand and placed it on the wall. " Feel anything? " Semi waited...No, nothing. She thought. She didn't respond. " I didn't think so. " He said, " This is ice, it's extreemly cold and I can't touch it for more than four seconds without feeling pain, you touched it for over three minutes... " Semi was shocked. So much was happening. Now she was being led to a pool. " Open your eyes while your head is under and see if anything looks different. " Semi lowered her head in. Nope, nothing. She took her head out and said : " No, it's the same. " Her voice was shaking a little. " Try again, but think....I don't know, consintrate. As much as she hated listening to this guy, she listened anyway. She dunked in her head again, and looked. Everything looked the same, then she focused and she saw it. Everything looked....so weird. She pulled out her head nodded toward him. He looked happy. He then spoke, but seemed kind of emotionless. " Good, now if you'll follow me toward your cage. " Semi smiled, Yeah, sure toward my cage.
She followed untill the exit was in sight. She was surprised he didn't have any sercurity coming too. He turned, only to see her rushing toward the exit. He yelled somethin', and a few security guards rushed after her. Semirah reached the door, but was grabbed and was being brought back. She fought back, ultimatly knocking over several things, and setting somethin' off. She noticed that she was put down and that some people were panicing. She wondered if that switch....Then she heard the boss yell : " Get her and let's go! NOW NOW! " Semi noticed that now would be a good time to get out that door. She rushed, and thankfully made it out. After running through some woods for a few minutes, she heard a loud boom, ( Boom, heh, that's a funny word... ). Semi ran faster, untill she saw an overhang, ( Well, it was a rock that curved at the top, makin' a really crappy roof. ). She decided that she should sleep. In her sleep, all of what had happened came back to her.
She woke up crying. She brushed away her tears and headed toward the next possible shelter. Many brutally boring hours later, she saw a house. A big Victorian looking house......
