Chapter One

I woke up in this strange place I have never seen anything like it. And to add to my horror I was in what seemed to be a dog crate. I don't even know how I got here. Once I find who ever did this to me I am seriously gonna kick their sorry but till next Tuesday.

Ok so I'm Shadow, I don't really know why exactly it just is. I have wings yea real wings. I'm about 3 percent bald eagle. I basically live alone no family, no friends, basically just me, myself, and I. How boring. Honestly it's actually not as bad as it might seem. Then again maybe being stuffed inside a dog crate when you're alone kind of makes you go a little crazy. With no one to talk to and all.

First I had to figure out a way to get out of here. You know dog crates don't exactly have too much room in them. As it turns out there was a piece of metal wire about 2 inches long, just long enough to pick the lock. Man, these people were dumb. I got the crate open in about 5 minutes give or take. After I got out of the crate I looked up because I saw a light shining on the floor, it turned out the ceiling was made entirely out of glass. Wow another stupid point to the bad guys. So of course the easiest way of getting out seemed to be whip out my wings and fly straight out the ceiling. It is so awesome flying out in night, but not flying through glass that hurt. Oh and I almost forgot to add the fact that they weren't quite as dumb as I thought they did have an alarm that went off after I flew through the ceiling. Time to fly as fast as I could which is about 200 mph. I guess I misjudged the bad guy, whoever that was, because they have things that can fly and they can fly pretty fast. I was right over a forest, so I flew into the trees lucky for me they aren't quite as nimble as I am so some of them hit trees right away and fell down through the trees.

There were about 3 left, just my luck 3 to 1, time to pour on the adrenaline. I hit one in the head with a roundhouse kick which made him go down for the count. I was able to get another one with a punch under the chin. 2 down 1 to go. Oh boy someone had sent for back up, now there were about another 10 of these things. I had to get out of there and fast. I quickly flew up threw the trees and at least three bad guys flew into a tree so there were still 8 or so left. I flew as fast as I could once I got out of the trees. After a while I lost them, or at least I hope I did. . .
