Chapter 2
CHAPTER 2: Chaos Erupts.
Things have been bad these past few months. A virus or something appeared, and my mom is close to giving birth.
Also, it's a girl.
So now we are keeping ourselves inside our house to be safe while also watching the news.
[ BREAKING NEWS! ]
The virus called H5G9 has come with an unnatural phenomenon about human babies being born with animal features.
And they are being called Hybrids.
Half-human, Half-animal.....
The question is..
What came first?
The Hybrids or The Virus?

"Hey... mom, what if -" Before i was able to finish what i was saying, my father cut me off.
"If it is, then we'll love her because she's family." Dad replied, reassuring my worries.
"Yes, we'll love her, and you will be her big brother, so you better take care of her." My mother said while she caressed my head, calming me down.
"I will, and I'm gonna protect her with my life." I promised both of them.

Days after that, my mom is ready to give birth, and I'm left alone in our house as they said it's too risky for me to go out.
It is, but still....
I couldn't help but sigh in worry. I hope they come back safe. I shook my head and went for a walk around our house as i recall the memories that we did here while the world was still in peace.
Like me and my mom baking, and dad is trying to help, but he messed up badly he forgot to put the right amount of temperature when we baked it thus it became a burnt crispy bread and not a soft fluffy one.
I chuckled as I reminisced down the memory lane, but then the sound of chaos outside made me look out through our window, giving view to our front yard and the road.
Chaos everywhere.
And there I see our front road neighbor, the Indian couple. I've heard from my mom that the husband is a doctor. If he is, then what is he doing out there and not at the hospital?
Wait... is his wife infected with the virus?
"Poor guy." I muttered to myself.
'I wonder if my parents and baby sister are safe..."
I solemly thought as I watched them drive away towards the hospital my parents went to. Probably where he works as well.
With them out of sight, I withdrew my gaze on the window and thought about what would my little sister would look like while going up to my room. Would she look like mom, a latina brown haired woman with brown eyes and a face that makes her look like she's in her 20s and not lik-.
Shudders*
I stopped as I felt like if I continued, I would be beaten to a pulp. Sigh... you know what they say 'never ask a woman her age'.
Anyway, maybe she would look like dad, a tan black haired man with green eyes and a face of a military Sargeant.
Or will she look like me a mixture of both of them black hair, brown eyes, and a baby face... of course, my face would change once I grew up. I hope...
"Sigh... I can't wait to meet her." I said with a smile on my face.
I entered my room and got two empty bags, and filled them with necessities such as my clothes, pictures of my family, books, and a camera. I did this because I sense that we probably won't be staying here.
Then, I heard a car park in our driveway. I rushed downstairs, excited to greet my baby sister and to see if my mom or dad were safe.
Once they opened our front door, what greeted me was...
My parents and my baby sister, who is... normal? That's good, right? Anyway, I watched as my parents walked into our house and once they were inside we sat on the couch in our living room.
"So...what's her name?" I said, curious as to what name my parents gave.
"Well... we decided that you'll name her." Said mom as she looked at me while holding my sister, who is currently peacefully sleeping.
"For real!?" I smiled.
"Shhh!" Both my parents shushed me.
"Oops, sorry." I whispered.
"Yup, wanna hold her?" Said Dad.
"Of course, who wouldn't?" I joyfully said to both of them.
As mom handed over my little sister, I felt a sensation, a feeling of hope.
Hope....
"Hope, her name's Hope." I said while my gaze still focused on the cute sleeping little sister.
"That's a beautiful name, dear." My mom soothingly said while my father nodded, indicating that he as well agreed...
A few minutes after that, my parents started to pack, leaving us alone in the living room, watching my little sister sleeping. Then I noticed something her body structure was more muscular, and she's like hairy but not hairy hairy, just hairy.
"She's a hybrid..." My eyes widened in shock as i whisper low enough for no one to hear.
