1. Chapter 1

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG" I screeched.

Wouldn't you if you were falling from 30,000 feet?

I almost blacked out from adrenaline, but I hung in there, even as my head swam fuzzily.

Yeah, yeah. I bet some of you are asking why I was falling from 30,000 feet, but I really don't want to have to explain, so why don't you guys look back while I try not to go splat, 'kay?

Flashback

I winced as the sharp brush cut up my cheeks and arms, as the rocks dug into my bare feet, as the bullets whizzed past my head. They were catching up. Why can't they just let me go free? I was slated for extermination today anyways.

Oh yeah. I was the avian-omega. The biggest, baddest, bird kid around. The strongest, the fastest, the smartest, the most uncooperative. I was too much of a danger to be free.

So it was either they could drag me back to the School, experiment on me, and then kill me, kill me now, or I could get away, stay free for as long as I could and then get killed, possibly.

I like the last option the best.

There it was. The cliff I had seen in my dream. I didn't pause to consider or worry, I just kept running, right over the edge of the cliff.

My wings, 14 feet across, shot out and caught the wind like a parachute.

A big, black, feathery, parachute.

The Erasers shot at me, bullets barely missing my skin.

I veered sharply to the right turning completely around and faced them all. I laughed eerily while I glowed silver. This was pure energy; I radiated it when I used my power. I shot out missiles of bright silver light, each beam burrowing deep into an Eraser's chest. The silver light made every Eraser disintegrate. I flew away; the ground was still smoking while the smell of burnt flesh filled the air.

To me that was the sweetest scent that had ever graced the Earth.

I flew for hours, never stopping in fear I would be caught again.

With good reason.

I was flying over Arizona when I heard a whistling noise and then felt a shocking pain in my right wing. Then again and again in both my wings. Over and over my wings were punched full of un-aerodynamic bullet holes.

I lost altitude rapidly, wings bleeding as I tried to heal them while I struggled, trying to flap up to gain height.

I began to fall faster, with no control over my descent.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG," I screeched.

And this is where we began.

End flashback

I was still falling and screaming, but wouldn't you?

The ground was getting closer and I was still struggling to get some altitude, but it was in vain. I started to get dizzier from blood loss and I was so close to the ground, I didn't know what to do! Then the ground came up to meet me.

I hit someone. Or rather landed on them.

"oof!"

I had gained enough altitude that my landing wouldn't kill anyone, I think.

"Get off me!" the person under me shouted and then pushed me off their back onto the ground. I yelped in pain as my wings came in contact with the hard ground.

I had heard that voice before. Right before my brother had been kidnapped away from the school. That tough, female voice.

I couldn't think straight, too much blood loss. The world started to fade and right before I closed my eyes I saw a face I thought I would never see again.

I saw my brother.

Then I slipped into a dark abyss, the deep blue abyss. I floated into it with no fear at all.
