Experiment 504A
Female
Lycaon Pictus

September 13, 2026


Okay, so first off, before I tell you about how I get attacked by a killer bulldog, I need to explain some things. I crossed out the top of my journal entry, as it would be quite annoying if someone reads this and then thinks that my name is Experiment 504A. I have a name you know?
To everyone at the lab, my official name is actually Akuma. It means demon in Japanese.
I guess I earned it.
Another thing, that Lycaon Pictus means something. It’s not a lot of gibberish like you thought. What it really means is African Wild Dog in scientific-nese. I looked off one of the scientist’s sheets one time and that’s what it said under my name. The female part is self-explanatory, so I won’t go into detail.
I got rid of the other stuff because it wasn’t really that important. I didn’t die on my day of death, I’m not being tested anymore, and they never knew what I was allergic to anyways, so why does it matter? Oh yeah, I guess I forgot to mention my “brother experiment.”
First off, that guy was probably not my brother. I mean, he may have been, but I didn’t like him anyways. My brother experiment was referred to as Experiment 504B, or Kevin. By the way, boys always get Experiment [number]B, and girls always get Experiment [number]A. Also, to be a “sibling experiment”, you have to be the same species as your brother/sister experiment. So I was created first, and my species is Lycaon Pictus, or African Wild Dog. So then Kevin came along a couple weeks later, just a little boy who was wandering about, minding his own business. He never saw the sedation bullet coming, and when he woke up, he was part Wild Dog.
Anyways, my “brother” Kevin, was a real butt-head. For one, we never got along, always arguing like real siblings. He always wanted to be right, and he was way too cocky for my taste, so eventually, we just gave up on one another, only using the other for company when we were lonely.
Why am I even telling you this? I bet you don’t even care, you just want me to get to the bull dog don’t you? Fine.
So, blah, blah, after I got chased down by those scientists and passed out, someone picked me up and whisked me away to fairy-tale land where I got my own pet unicorn and a gumdrop house. Wrong. What really happened was a little surprising.
First, I woke up in a bed. With covers. Which in other words meant I had, one, been sympathized for and some random stranger had taken me in, or two, I was in the recovery room in the lab.
I was hoping it was number one.
But, because I wasn’t sure which one I was in, I got up out of the bed and looked around. To me, it just looked like a regular ‘ole room. A bed in the corner next to the nightstand, a closet on the back wall, and a dresser near the door. What was missing was cameras. Everywhere in the lab were cameras, so either this wasn’t the lab, or the cameras were too small to be seen.
Just to be safe, I went with the latter.
Quickly ripping open the door and rolling outside, I just about ran into a large dog.
A very, very, very large dog that didn’t look happy.
I had just stuck with staying as still as possible while its beady brown eyes glared into mine. Then it let out a growl and started straight towards me. I chose that moment to stand up and run the hell out of there, practically tripping down the stairs and running into a table. I ran right into the kitchen, hoping that I could possibly jump up onto a counter, or a sink, or something! I was being chased by a devil dog for crying out loud!
I was sadly disappointed when I found that the kitchen was a dead end, any hope flickering in my soul dying as I backed into a wall, the dog cornering me. So this is how I was going to die? A bulldog on steroids?
Just as I was sure I was about to be shredded by the canine, a loud voice yelled, “Alexander, you better not be scaring our guest!”
In walked a woman my who, from the way I was looking at her, seemed to be at least thirty years old. Freaky thing was, she was looking at me, wolf ears and all, and wasn’t freaking out. I have a flipping tail!
“Sorry about that, Alexander doesn’t exactly enjoy having strangers around.”
When I didn’t reply, she seemed to get the hint, laughing before speaking.
“I guess you want to know why you’re here, correct?” With a little nod of my head she continued.
“My name is Amy Carter. You must be Akuma.” Again, I nodded, but this time, I had something to say.
“I get that you rescued me and all, but who are you and why am I here and why are you not freaking out that I’m part wolf and-“
She cut me off with a laugh. “Calm down, one at a time. First things first, I told you my name is Amy Carter, but I also go by Dr. Carter. I used to work at the lab you escaped from.”
“But wait, how did you manage to stop working there? I mean, you can’t just quit can you?”
“Yes, I know. I can’t just walk out and quit, as the job description did say life working. Can’t have the fact that their making animal and human hybrids getting out into the public.” Shaking her head, she glanced up at me and continued.
“I escaped like you did. They had taken my son away from me and told me that if I didn’t work for them, they would kill him. I accepted the job, having nothing else to live for. They turned him into a hybrid as well. Crossed him with a panther. When the time came, we ran for our lives, escaping that place and coming to live here. He’s the one who found you out there. You were lucky you made it into our territory, or else you would be back in the lab right now.”
Giving a confused look, I raised an eyebrow. “So, wait, where is Jacob?”
“Right here.”
A voice to my right made me jump up in the air, practically leaping out of my skin in terror.
“Wha…” I trailed off, taking a good look at the boy. He had the black ears of a panther, his long black tail swishing back and forth in amusement. Besides that, it wasn’t obvious that he was a hybrid, except maybe his eyes. They were golden, black-slit pupils focusing on me with a gaze that made me shiver.
And that was the moment that I realized I was in love.
