Chapter 1: The Nightmare
Bam!
Running as fast as her legs can take her, hoping as much as she can that she doesn't get caught. Suddenly, the sirens are set off, blaring in her ears
"Oh, crap." she thinks to herself. "They figured it out."
She looks ahead at the forest of freedom beyond the fence.
"If I could just make it over…."
BANG!
A bullet races passed her ear. She runs harder and faster. Not turning around for a sec, she sprints toward the fence.
BANG!
Another bullet hits the dirt behind her heels.
"Just a little more…"
Suddenly, she has the urge to go up. The fence is closer. She has seconds to decide.
At the last possible second, she springs out her bright, red wings, and pushes off the ground. Just narrowly missing the barbed wire, she makes it.
"Freedom at las…"
BANG!
Another bullet nips her wing, and she plummets to the ground. Hard. She gets up groggily, and starts to run.
"Have…to….run…"
She hears shouting from behind, and wondering why the gate hasn't opened. She turns, and sees that they have given up. The last thing she sees is the bright, shining moon, before she passes out, tumbling.
A/N (via 2016): Hey guys! I know I've haven't posted in almost two (maybe one?) years, and I really apologize for that. A lot has been going on in my life at home and my internet life hasn't exactly gotten a lot of my attention save for an occasional check on something.
I've finally managed to get a break and look back at this story. You have no idea how badly I cringed while rereading this and noticed so many grammar errors, random tense changes, etc. Blech! And so I've decided to revise each chapter and post the next one. Again, I'm sorry for the long hiatus for my old readers. For my new readers, I hope you enjoy!
