Ya know I hate that name.\u0026nbsp; Call me Morg or I'll give ya another black eye.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nXander knew how much the Goat hated his real name.\u0026nbsp; Montague Morgan Mortis.\u0026nbsp; Morg was his assumed name that he preferred everyone to call him.\u0026nbsp; Though the two act rough with each other, they are the closest friends either has, and both share the same scarred past.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"So it was the nightmare again?\"\u0026nbsp; Morg had made his way over to Xander's side and started to help him to his feet.\u0026nbsp; The one where your house was on fire?\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Ya.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Dude go see a fucking shrink.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"No.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Why the fuck not?\"\u0026nbsp; Morg had placed Xander back on the bed and got a good look at his face.\u0026nbsp; They both knew Xander wasn't going to say anything about that incident to anyone other than himself and Xander's sister Clarissa.\u0026nbsp; The three were the only survivors from their entire neighborhood after the meteor storm nine years ago.\u0026nbsp; For the last four days, Xander has had to relive the nightmare.\u0026nbsp; Morg had the same nightmares, but his weren't as bad as Xanders.\u0026nbsp; It was a miracle that the three were even still alive.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Well what ever dude.\u0026nbsp; Get dressed.\u0026nbsp; You sister will be here to pick you up for your classes in 30 mins.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nXander didn't even look at Morg until he was halfway out the door.\u0026nbsp; \"Do you think it's a sign?\u0026nbsp; All three of us suddenly reliving the past?\u0026nbsp; This isn't normal even for trauma cases.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Shut up.\u0026nbsp; Get ready for class.\"\u0026nbsp; Morg slammed the door behind him as he left.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nBoth of them sighed.\u0026nbsp; They both felt uneasy.\u0026nbsp; Rumors were going around, not just the city that they lived in, but all around the world.\u0026nbsp; There were other survivors to the meteor storm that hit the planet besides them.\u0026nbsp; These rumors said that the other survivors had become freaks of nature.\u0026nbsp; Able to wield \"powers\" and were terrorizing the areas after they discovered what they could do.\u0026nbsp; Normal police couldn't do anything against them. Not even the government stood much of a chance against some of the \"Boomers\" as they were being called now.\u0026nbsp; Not until a group of Boomers sold themselves to the government to catch and sometimes kill other boomers.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nXander shook the thoughts from his head and started to get ready for another normal day of college.\u0026nbsp; All three went to Trinity Marks College.\u0026nbsp; It was a local university and easy for the three to get to.\u0026nbsp; Was the best choice for them to make.\u0026nbsp; Clarissa was now a Senior, Morg a Sophomore, and Xander was in his second semester of his freshman year.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nXander waited by the door for his sister.\u0026nbsp; Hearing the truck horn outside he ran out the door and down to the truck waiting for him.\u0026nbsp; She smiled when she saw him, and he smiled back.\u0026nbsp; Xander's blue fur shined in the sunlight as he hopped into the bed of her truck and tapped the roof of the cab.\u0026nbsp; As soon as he finished, he braced himself as his sister floored it.\u0026nbsp; She sped through the parking lot to Xander and Morg's Apartment complex and onto the highway towards the school.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nClarissa adjusted her driver side mirror to see Xander leaning against the air current that threatened to push him off the truck.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"How was you night last night? Got any cute girls' phone numbers?\u0026nbsp; Or guys for that matter?\u0026nbsp; You know you have to share if you find a real hottie.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nXander chuckled.\u0026nbsp; \"Naw.\u0026nbsp; Didn't like what was available on either side.\u0026nbsp; Too preppy.\u0026nbsp; Never going to a Sorority party again.\u0026nbsp; Morg acted like he was literally dying there.\u0026nbsp; What was it with the preppy gangsta wannabees and their music?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nShe shrugged.\u0026nbsp; \"I dunno.\u0026nbsp; Fuck one and tell me what you find out.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nXander flipped her off and she returned the gesture.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nWhen they finally reached the school's parking lot, Xander jumped out of the truck bed and hugged his sister once she was out of the truck.\u0026nbsp; Xander and his sister weren't related by birth, only by marriage.\u0026nbsp; She, like Xander, was a halfbreed, though her breed made a hell of a lot more sense than Xander's.\u0026nbsp; She was a Liger, he was a Wolvion.\u0026nbsp; Her dad married his mom when he was two, so they grew up close as normal siblings should.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe one thing they both hated was when others made fun of their fur color.\u0026nbsp; Both had natural \"Unnatural\" colors.\u0026nbsp; Xander was blue while Clarissa was jade green.\u0026nbsp; Their parents didn't know why their fur color came out that way, but it didn't bother them.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nXander released the hug and ran to his first class.\u0026nbsp; Leaving his sister by her truck.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n- - - - -\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe first two classes went by without much trouble.\u0026nbsp; Today was a very normal day.\u0026nbsp; Same teachers, same class schedule, same class material.\u0026nbsp; Same boring day.\u0026nbsp; The only things that got Xander through the day was a cute little fox/bunny hybrid that he kept eyeing.\u0026nbsp; They shared two classes together, the very first two to Xander's disdain.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nWhen the class ended, Xander started to make a move to ask the other hybrid on a date later that week, but got cut off by a very large wall of fur and muscle.\u0026nbsp; The fox/bunny managed to slip away before Xander could get a chance to ask for his number.\u0026nbsp; Sighing he just left the room and made his way to the commons area for something to eat.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n- - - - -\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nMorg and Clarissa were sitting at their group's table, waiting for Xander to get done with class.\u0026nbsp; The lunch room was crowding faster than it was emptying out.\u0026nbsp; Morg started to light his cigarette, but was cut off by a quick swipe of Clarissa's paw.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Not inside.\u0026nbsp; You want to get us thrown out again?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nMorg sat there with his mouth open, intending to say something smart, but remembered that led to a kick to his nuts and quickly shut his mouth.\u0026nbsp; \"Right, sorry. My bad.\u0026nbsp; I forgot.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nBoth sat there for a few more minutes.\u0026nbsp; Morg hummed to himself a new song he heard on the radio while Clarissa was starting on her home assignment for one of her classes.\u0026nbsp; Both stopped when they heard a tray fall to the floor.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Get the fuck out of my way pipsqueak.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nA tall bull stood in front of a small Dachshund.\u0026nbsp; Neither Morg, nor Clarissa had seen the dog before which was odd considering only regulars knew about this diner.\u0026nbsp; That and you have to have been invited by another regular to get in.\u0026nbsp; No one walks in alone either.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe smaller dog smiled.\u0026nbsp; \"The big bad bovine can't take a little push?\"\u0026nbsp; The Dachshund had a very cocky smile.\u0026nbsp; The Bull was one of the line backs for the Football team and looked like he could snap the dog in half with one punch.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"You are an annoying little fucker aren'tcha?\u0026nbsp; Guess we'll have to teach you some manners.\u0026nbsp; You should go around and slap food trays from other people's hands.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe dog's smile didn't disappear and he slowly started to close his eyes.\u0026nbsp; \"Come at me if you have the balls cowboy.\u0026nbsp; But the only lesson that will be taught is not to judge someone by their appearance.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe bull balled his fist and swung at the dog's muzzle.\u0026nbsp; Before he even got close, the bull lit on fire and crumpled down in pain.\u0026nbsp; Fire erupted all around the diner as furs started to scream and run about.\u0026nbsp; Most were lit on fire and fell just as the bull did.\u0026nbsp; Finally one female screamed the one word that had everyone heading for the door.\u0026nbsp; \"Boomer!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nMorg tipped their table over.\u0026nbsp; He pulled Clarissa behind it as other furs ran for the door only to be hit by the flames.\u0026nbsp; The dog laughed in the center of all the panic.\u0026nbsp; Soon the diner was coming down around them and the dog was gone.\u0026nbsp; Fire trucks and police cars were starting to show up, but they couldn't douse the flames.\u0026nbsp; Morg and Clarissa knelt behind the table wondering what the hell was going on.\u0026nbsp;\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
