Disclaimer: I do NOT own anything but my OC Caliber and Luna. James Patterson does!.

This is my first story and im not really good at writing so im EXTREMLY sorry is my characters seem mary-sue – ish if they are just tell me (and what parts that make them mary-sueish) and ill fix it right away :)

anyways I hope you enjoy!

My fiery red hair danced in the wind as I watched Luna prance in the meadow we were camping in, chasing the butterflies.

Caliber's the name! im abnormally tall for a 14 year old female, I have bright emerald green eyes; I'm really flexible and balanced...am i missing something?oh right how could I possibly forget!...I'm 98 % human I'm 2% bird.

I just recently I escaped from a place called The school , with the help of Luna. The school is basically hell. They do experiments on not the average flu shot on lets-see-if-this-kid-responds-normally- kind of experiments, its the how-about-we-take-this-animal-species-and-inject-into-you-and-see-if-you-grow-something-funny type of experiments. Basically kids. Dont trust anyone in a white-coat!

"Look..." Luna's soft voice called me back.

Luna. She was still the same but I can see she's happy to be out. She was always quiet but talked when she knew she had too.

She had soft brown hair, and chocolate brown eyes that showed wisdom far beyond mankind.

Luna is 2% bird also. The problem with that is she doesn't have the 'bird-campus'. Which allows one to know which way they go so she isn't a "success" experiment plus theres something about her ,you can't really tell what's wrong with her but you can sense that there's SOMETHING not right.

Luna's weakness is swimming (don't tell her I told you that...she thinks everyone is trying to kill us.)shes afraid of drowning in the 'deep unknown' .The only strength I'd say shed have is her telepathy (moving objects) and she can understand animals/nature.

Me?

PSH!

I'm bad-ass. Don't know why or how but I'm STRONG, which was the main focus with me in The School while with Luna they worked on brains(so she's a GENIUS) they worked me on muscle (I'm like super man..Correction WO-man) my weakness? I'm not a fan of the dark. I can't remember what I did about 8 months ago. Or anything before that…so I can't tell you much. But that's normal…right?

"Caliber." Luna's face was full and alert, in her hands was a butterfly with its wings ripped apart.

"Luna! What did you do to that butterfly?" Luna wouldn't hurt anyone, unless it was self-defence.

"No...it's an omen" she examined her butterfly and took out the journal I bought her( we found a credit card in a scientist lab coat...idiots...and Luna got the password in 5 minutes) and put the dead crippled butter fly in between the is what i meant when i said she understands nature,she can read the signs and interpret them.

"What does the omen mean" I asked sounding slightly down to my negative thoughts

"Something has changed...I don't know...it's a fuzzy omen...I will take watch tonight and see if I can read from nature.

"Okay..."

we set ourselves in the middle of the field were the grass was sat herself and waited for the moon to come up as the now settled sun gave a purple glow to the night.

Luna's P.O.V

Envy. Caliber. How I envy you she knows how to blend in, and talk to people I can't. I feel awkward. I hate that feeling of not knowing what to say or do...I hate, those who can be happy while I suffered 15 years of my life in hell. Never mind, Hell seems like wonderland compared through what I went through. What MANY of us went through.

The moon rose up to its highest point and I let the beautiful nature calm me.

I listened for my canine friends to howl about the change but they were as silent.

The stars were showing that the 'change of the stars' will happen soon. The year of the Aquarius is other words. The end to this beautiful yet sadistic world. Shadows passed flew by the moon. Too big to be birds... I idly thought.

"Arhoooooooo" there! A wolf cries in the night sending a chill down my spine, wolf was proclaiming change.

The mysterious shadows landed in the trees not far from the meadow. Stealthily I followed to the point where I heard faint voices.

"I'm so tired I could sleep for days!"

"Max...I'm hungry"

"Okay fang and I will hunt"

"Ar-Ar-Arhoooooo" another wolf cried in the night, mourning its fallen friend.

Wolves around the forest, but miles away, howled to mourn their lost unknown comrade. Curious, i took a couple steps forward...

Snap! a twig under my foot snapped in half and it seemed like it echoed loudly through the forest.

"Max! That-that-w-was kinda close -d-dont you th-think?" a little boys voice cried.

"We could take it..whatever it is...lets search for it and listen for the U and A signal" a strong female voice responded sounding leaderly and strong.

Damn! I turned and ran, faster! I screamed in my head.

I ran into the meadow letting my black baggy shirt, skinny jeans, and converse camouflage me into the night. I army crawled to caliber and whispered to her sleeping body.

"Caliber" I hissed.

"Caliber!"I called again.

I sat up and shook her…which was a bad idea, when she's asleep her self defence mechanism goes on and anything dumb enough to touch her gets thrown...guess who hit a tree.

"GAH-damnit!" I yelled

Caliber shot straight up.

"What's wrong?" she came over to me.

"SHH! I think other experiments are in the clearing next to us...leave" I explained.

"Let go say HI!" she bounced up." I've never met anyone that's like us before!"

Caliber jumped up and down.

"No. we will leave...they might be erasers! "I got up and winced, my back is definitely bruised.

"Ugh fine"

I unleashed my yellow wings with grey and black tips. I would have ran but it's too risky. Those experiments could be dangerous and they are in a pack. We couldn't possibly take them, wait maybe- hell who am I kidding- its hunting season for us. Who knows how many hunters there are.

i looked at Caliber and she unleashed her red and black tipped wings. we flew through the trees remaining hidden so the other experiments wont see us. We headed for the city hoping for dear god that we could blend in. I motioned for Caliber to follow me up to a tall buildings roof.

Once there Caliber instantly fell asleep in the late July air.

Calibers P.O.V

I was in a white room. A blurry face smirking above me- strapped to the table…why? What's going on?

I struggled. And failed to free myself.

And sharp pain coursed through my left arm.

"Shhh….it'll be fine soon-"

"AHHHH-"my screams cut off.

I bolted up to find myself in the city with the cars and there damn loud ass honking.

"What time is?" I mumbled and tried to block my sensitive ears.

"About 5:45 from the looks of the sunrise." Luna's quiet voice spoke out from the edge.

I opened my eyes to see she was on her belly leaning slightly over the building to "car watch".

My stomach growled and I felt like I was about to die.

"Lunaa~we haven't eaten in a day and a half can we PLEASE go to a breakfast internet cafe "I gave her the puppy dog eyes.

"Fine. Change your clothes. They're dirty; I changed mine while you slept." She was wearing her normal black attire- yep I know smart words- attire.

We bought 2 pairs of clothes each and Luna a laptop. I carry that stuff because I'm strong, but when we have to A and U... we share the load from time to time.

We walked in the cafe and Luna set up her laptop. As I got us food.

"Fangs blog...where does fang sound familiar..." Luna mumbled to herself as she typed away on her laptop, ignoring her tea.

"That's right!" she spoke louder

"What?" I've never heard her mention someone named fang so my curiosity leaked into my voice.

"Remember when I said I saw the experiments in the clearing next to our meadow? One of them was named fang!" she exclaimed

"Oh well we should-"

"Max...it's the person who was listening last night..." a little voice angelically said from a couple seats from me.

"Mind reader...Damn let's go Caliber before the catch us..." luna cautiously said.

I stood up, pretending to throw away my muffin tray out with Luna and her cold green tea...i really wanted to say hi to the experiments. But Luna wears the pants in this pair.

As soon as we got to the trash can by the door I could feel six pairs of eyes on us.

"Run" Luna's voice now stiff and yet demanding whispered next to me. I took the cue and took off. Not looking to see if Luna was behind me.

My feet were suddenly in the air as Luna glided me into the forest keeping low enough not to be seen but high enough so my feet don't touch the ground. probably since i wasnt the fastest flyer out there

A female cut in front of us with blond hair and pink streaks blowing in the wind, her wings stretched out preventing us from going straight. Luna made a sharp U- turn and put me on the ground, as she hid her wings and ran with me. If they were air we will be safe on the ground. The trees were together so it would be difficult for the others to catch up to us if we make no mistakes.

We turned to the left and a shadow reached my side. The fingers of this stranger just grazed my arm.

Omg...they might actually get us!" these people seemed to have a lot more experience then us and we clearly weren't fast enough to get away at this rate.

"Luna-"

"I know" she cut me off.

I saw a cave nearby and grabbed her .Dragging her to the dark…dark…cave.

We reached a cave and she pushed me in forcing me to the very back.

Several minutes passed.

More minutes.

Then I could hear faint voices and footsteps as they echoed in the cave.

"I think they went in here"

"shhh!"

"There…" a male voice mumbled

The figure or figures spotted Luna…

Dumbass .I face palmed.

"Max what does Dumbas-"

"where'd you hear that from" 'Max' said trying to avoid the little girl from repeating the word I had said in my head- wait….I said that in my head. MY head….can she read minds.

Luna stood up and faced the-what seemed like- six figures...

"Alright...start talking" the female lead 'Max' spoke.
