Phantimal

Chapter One
Professor M stared into the gooey, purple tube of liquid. The creature was strange; part wolf and part phantom. It opened a single, yellow eye, with a purple slit in the middle. For a second, it looked as if it were in pain. Then it opened it’s mouth, muttering something. Out of nowhere, it screamed horribly, and cracked the tube. M didn’t know what to make of it. It crawled out, with tentacles growing out of it’s head, then grabbed Miko’s face. She screamed and screamed, but then there was only silence.

The experiment had gone horribly wrong, but if it lived, could it be a success..? Mira ordered for Miko to be found, and for the beast to be corrected. So they enrolled it in school. She made friends easily, but seemed to have a problem. She was too advanced for her class. Work became easier and easier for her, and she became more and more reclusive. In group projects, she controlled everything. She was always called on. She eventually forgot about her friends, and only focused on winning, and they put her in the class for gifted animals, taught by Mira herself. But she realized she didn’t have a name. So they named her Phamira. But one day, The phantoms attacked. She seemed hypnotized, and did what they said. Mira stopped her, of course. But she realized if Phamira was so smart, the phantoms could become just as advanced. “''Beep! Beep!'' Mira squawked. ''Beep! Beep!'' Phamira Screeched. Then Miko woke up. “It must have been a message from Mira! I need to stop the experiment!” She ran to the lab, and pressed the blue button. The liquid froze. But when she went to the pillow den, where there’s usually lots of drama, instead she saw sick animals all laying down on the floor, some stretching their limbs out, and some curled up in balls. She moved a rabbit’s ear off his face, which was burnt on one side. In fact, all of them were burnt somewhere. “F..fi..Fire...” He coughed, spitting up some embers. Miko took a step back. “Fire Phantoms.” Miko looked at him shocked. Was there a new type of phantoms?
