I sank down deeper into the corner of my cell. My wings wrapped around me.

"Why are we keeping this monster here?" A man asked peering through the bars.

"She's an important experiment so leave her alone." Another answered. I squeezed into a tighter ball at their words.

"Look your scaring her," said the second voice, "Now leave I'll watch her for now."

"No matter what you say," The first man hesitated," She's still a monster." I didn't relax until I heard the door close behind him.

"Sorry," The guard currently standing in front of my cell said. I stayed quiet. this guard his name is Walter Smith and he was positioned here a lot so I knew him a little.

"You know you wouldn't be in this cell if you decided to cooperate with us instead of trying to escape. If you did that you might be treated better." He said keeping his gaze on the wall in front of him.

"Nothing would change." I whispered reaching my hand out to touch the lumps on my back. Tears threatening to spill from my eyes.
