The xilo project

Chapter 1

I sighed looking out from my window. Its been a long day and the sun is about to set and I should probably get moving or i might get caught again. I slowly rise from my chair and stretch my legs. I take a look at my latest home a small motel room with a small bed and a t.v. to think that i have been running from her for two years. I grab my backpack from off the chair, slinging it on to my back. I grab my wallet off the bed and i walk over and lock my door before i turn around and head back to my window opening it. I look back at my home for the last week before i jump out onto the ground. I land with a light thump i quickly look around looking for a car i could steal before my eyes fell on a van that looked a little run down. I walk over looking at the locks. I notice that it's unlocked. "Huh, maybe i'm in luck tonight." I say to myself opening the driver's door carful not to draw attention to myself I get in and hotwire the van and drive off. The names Nikolas corth and im on the run from an a top secret government project called PROJECT XILO they were trying to splice human and animal DNA for all the jobs we didn't want to do. Soldiers, nurses, doctors in a sense they would be the caretakers of our species. They look like you and me but they are stronger, smarter, more resilient to pain, and more gorgeous then any human could ever look. My parents were on the job to come up with a way to in a sense imprint on of these xilos one to a person or a family. The project had already made its way past early testing to almost consumer production so as to say thanks and do one last test they let me and my family chose a xilo although I was very young about 8 I was happy I mean I never had a chance at meeting someone my age so we decided on a cat human infusion that we named Nep after a girl from a popular webcomic. Me and Nep grew up together for 8 years in our home in the mountains and well I noticed she started to follow me more than my parents at night she would often crawl into my bed and sleep next to me. One day at the lab when I was was younger she told me one day she would be a queen and I, her king and we would rule over these "commoners" as she put it. The months following xilos were introduced to the public.
