ROAR!!!!
A long murderous cry bellowed as my chest expanded. The bones cracked and popped as my rib cage grew. The pain unbearable as my organs rearranged, adjusting to the slim abodmen as my waist expanded. My hole back morphing as the prickley pain of hair sprouted from my hair line tapering off past my shoulders. My entire being ripped apart and shattered. making it impossible to think of anything. Anything but the pain as my body morphed. 
Memories of my family slowly fading away to the dark abyss. I was fighting a losing battle to keep my sanity as the monster within over took me. Soon there would be no me, only the beast hungry for its next kill. As i whiffed the air the icy wind carried the pleasant aroma of my soon to be first kill. My stomache groaned at me, the hunger urging me to act. I began to crawl on all fours prepared to seek out my salvation. Hunger and rage was all I had now I must kill... "Eeeaaat...pppreeyyy..."! I groaned, drool flowing dawn my lips. My instincts telling me that soon my gut would be full of thick warm flesh. Then and only then would the hunger stop as I licked my lips. 

A roar echoed in the distance as i barrelled throuth the snow, making my way to a lake of frozen ice.  cutting my way through the storm Every frosty breath visible as i ran from my unkown attackers. My feet made contact with the ice sending me sliding across its slick surface. I shifted my weight causing me to spin around towards my mysterious pursuers as small black claws pulled themselves from under the snow up on to the ice. A colony of five infected penguins slithered out on to the sleek surface.
Their heads seemed normal with a vibrant yellow feather displayed from their forheads.  However, on closer inspection the skin around their eyes had been peeled away. Dried blood caked down their faces like a permanent trail of bloody tears. Their bodies now thin and stream lined for skulking through the snow.  the Bigger one opened  its ragged curved beak giving out a warped shriek. The others moving on its commanded like some pack of raptors from an old dinosaur movie.
pulling themselves forward with their bat like arms the smaller  four propelled themselves towards me as I slipped on the ice.  Unable to keep my balance, i fought desperately to get to my feet. I was to late as the first to reach me coiled around my arm. It weighed itself down attempting to chain me to the ice as the second reached. It latched on shackling me down by wrapped around my leg. One by one they had me fully restrained. There beaks pentetrating my appendages attempting to grasp ahold of the bone hidden behind the tendons.
the pain and fear overtaking me as I sporadically threw myself about. All attempts to escape failing me as the adrenaline kicked in. subconsciously thrusting my trapped arm in the air. my strength had finally came back to me. "Get off"! I screamed out in terror, throwing my fist down with a loud crack.  Its spine crushed as it still fought to barrow its way into my arm. I continued to roll around my body frantically thrown about like a ragdoll. Every punch and kick cracking the ice with every thud leaving wells of frigid lake water in its wake. Our blood trickling down into the deep blue as we fought above.
The other three nightmarish creatures held on for dear life as the big one approached. My subconcious berrating me as i fought for control. telling me to calm down or the end would be near. I reached for the second  tuxedoed snakes neck. its spine bared through the Exposed flesh missing upon its tattered tux. Snap!  Its neck snaped like a stalk of celery as I tossed it aside into the icy depths. 
The big one lept upon my chest in a blur of feathers. His head thrusting towards my throat In a flash as he tried to end me swiftly. reacting I slapped him away, sending his famished frame flying through the air. 
Skreeek.
Even in the storm the sound of its nails dragging across the ice could be heard. Slowing him to a stop as he prepared to come back for another attack. I knew he'd be upon me again before I could remove the other two leehes wrapped around my knees. Crippling me so I couldnt make my escape. Do it motherfucker"! I yelled mocking at the alpha. The realization that they had home field advantage and I was about to be their dinner unless i did something. But, there were no more moves to play. I was cornered. The alpha rocketed towards me. My mind racing for a solution as it happened.
My mind skeptical as I froze still unable to comprehend the sight. Sweat freezing to my skin, as a black beast  came up from the ice  grasping the alpha in its merciless jaws. Ice shattered and breaking all around its form as it surfaced. the whales disfigured body making me gasp in horror. Its eyes we're no were to be seen, its face long since carved away by some cruel sense of fate. in its place a glowing veiny sack of fat expanded and deflated. Glowing brighter and dimming as it did. The ice cracked again as a giant  muscular arm flew from the ice holding on to the ice to pull it to the surface as the other arm broke through. Water was thrusted into the air as its spoil realized there was no escape.
"Yawp!, yawwwppp!"
The alpha shrieking in pain as the montrous whale beached on the ice.  Its back fins propping it up on its tips holding him up on all fours as its head turned in our direction. the rustle of our battle alerting it to a possible threat. My shackles released as the remaining two raced off to the alphas aid. wasting no time, my hands trusted  through the ice for traction. I crawled away as fast as I could pierce the ice. The foul smell of rotted fish oil depriving me of the clean mountain air. My legs ever so slowly trying to mend the damage as I made my speedy exit. The battle behind being lost in the blankets of snow as their cries echoed into the distance.
TAC tac tac tac TAC!
The sound of my fingers dancing skillfully over the plastic keys echoed through the quiet room.  time was running out as i worked dillegently to corrupt the evidence. The first of the morning crew would awaken soon enough to take a look at the other subjects in the room and if there was even a whiff of foul play then I could kiss my ass goodbye. "Grr. Why cant I say no to a pretty face" I said, cursing myself as I scratched my head. 
TAC. Tac
"Damn it, another mistake" I said fisteated with myself. Being this Stressed out and strung out on caffiene wasnt helping matters much.  I i fought My shaky hands to press the right keys, but I wasnt cut out for this kind of stress and she knew that. 
TAC. Tac. Tac.  
"There we go..." I murmured,  as I finished changing the logs.  "...and now there was a power failure in test a" i said proudly as i moved on to hiding 0173. The keyboard clicking rapidly as i successfully pasted the deceased 0165's profile over 0173. I began to drum roll on the desk with my boney fingers as I announced, "And now youre 0165". I stared down at the sceen, my chest truimphly pumped out as i stared on at my patch work. The once darkened 0165 tab was now vividly green as if he had never turned. My cover was flawless down to the smallest milli-pixel.  Telling myself not to get to cocky, i began to sift through the footage of the nights event.
Click. Tac tac. Click. Click
The sound of my fingers one again speeding across the board as I clicked through.  Editing out anything that could incriminate us when the sun rose. This hurdle wasn't as simple as deleting a clip or two. I had to manually go through and cut several hours from a whooping 300 videos feeds.  My eyes already raisinn amd stinging as I pressed on. 
I stretched, Every fiber of my being damanding me to stop .I took a glanc at The screen above me.  The screen minutes before was buzzing with action. As  0173 once again had desperately scrapped away from the claws of death. He had managed to crawl away from the carnage leaving a twin trail of blood. his body now sprawled motionless on its back as he stared up at the false artic sky. A beeping noise alerting to the lack of motion as it switched to subject 0168.
hisssss.
The once little boy was now the size of a full grown man. His body lost to the snow leapord mutation as he sat Crouched down over the body of his prey. his jaws now  developed around the grotesque mutated body of a  dall sheep. Its back plated with keratin scales curving over its back like some makeshift armor. The fleece of it body had become matted now flowing under each plate.  Giant spikes had grown from each elbow to pierce any eho dare to atack from above.  its head sported an extra two horns curiving down over its neck. The pair forming a spiked helmet. However, even with all that armor it was no match for the demonic beast that 0168 had become.
Baaaaaa.
 its screams died out in an instant as he crunched down on its neck. Its body falling lifeless as he twisted its head clean off. Blood streaming from its neck as 0168 Plopped the sheep down on the snowy rock of the mountain pass. Flipping it over on its back to expose its unarmored fluffy underbelly. His claws plunged into his chest ripping it apart as he ransaked the sheeps corpse. 
Purr.
His chest vibrating continiously in glee as His muzzle greedily pulled out a grizzly mass of crimson flesh that was its liver. slurping the meat down as Blood splattered over the rocky pass. The edge of the raven painted red with every mouthful. The rest of its flock herded together in a dome of pointed scales on the opposite side of the gorgeous that formed the fake mountain pass. 0168 paused as he scanned the dome from across the way. Looking for a chink in their aarmor as he sprung back. With a powerful thrist lhe launched himself, crossing the vast ravine with ease. Landing gracefully as he landed tactfull next to the mutant buffet. He pulled himself back to his two arched feet raising his claws menacingly to startle the heard.  he viciously swiped his 3 ft razor claws with blistering speed . Sparks flying as blood sprayed the air. The injured sheep startled took a step back as He forced his talons between the cracks he madem pulling them apart as he purred, annoumcing that the end was near. The sheeps helpless as he one by one swatted away their remains.
I grinned rubbing my face in amusement, "youre just a fucking beast arent you". Knowing that if 0173 ever got off his ass and made it to him his fate would be sealed. "It would be my luck. why did i even bother making you look alive". My mind wandering to a  daydream of 0173s head lobbed off rolling down the rocky cliffs of the ravin. His teeth and jaw splintering away in a mesh of gore and bone with each slam against the artificial walls. 
flinching as i snaped back to reality i jumped back to work, blissfully unaware that the door to my workspace was no longer closed.  an observer peered through the cracked door studying me curiously as i murmured to myself.  The figure Amused that i was unaware that i was no longer alone.
