A/N HHHIII peoples this is my first fanfic. hope you like it! i worked hard. please read, and review.
Darkness is all I saw when I died. I didn't die by cancer, old age, or accident. I was murdered. But by who, that is the question I ask myself. But I was reborn in this world, and light filled my eyes when I did. Well, good; I don't like the dark, even though I can see in it.
There are two others like me. Moonwing and Ark; they are my friends. I am Luna. But don't get your hopes up on having wonder names like us. We are not like you. We are different, we are mutant bird kids, but our teeth are sharp like carnivores - we are also vampires. But we look like you, reading this book, human. Except we have wings, and drink blood, and can kill you with a few kicks, and are awesome.
I am the only girl so far. Yes, that means Moonwing and Ark are boys. And try not to fall in love with them. You won't stand a chance. Just some advice for the future. So here we are in our convertible, driving our stolen vehicle through the country looking for people like us.
All of a sudden Moonwing brought me back into the present." Luna, I think we took a wrong turn." I checked the GPS.
"No. We're in the right place." I said to him. He looked unconvinced. I gave him a sturdy look. He rolled his eyes and concentrated on the road. Okay, now I know we are not old enough to drive, but we literally look like we are seventeen. But we are only fourteen, and fifteen. Moonwing and me are fourteen, Ark is fifteen. From the back seat I heard Ark mutter something. "What did you say, Ark?"
I looked back at him. But he wasn't looking at me. He was looking out the window. "Nothing. I said nothing." he said in his smooth, soft voice. I wasn't convinced. He looked so tense.
"Come on Ark. I'm not deaf, and don't have human ears, even though they look like them. You know I have super hearing. Now what did you say?" He was still looking out of the window. "Ark." I said in a strong voice.
"If you had super hearing, why didn't you hear what I said?" His voice was barley audible, at least for human ears. But still it was so small, so quiet. Finally, I just gave up.

Ark was looking at the scenery - beautiful golden grass covered the dirt. Then, when that ended, there was a great big forest at its edge, which extended on to the mountains. You couldn't even see the snow-capped tops! Ark had never seen anything like it.
He let out a sigh, and muttered " Awesome." Well, that got Luna going. They had a conversation for five minutes, until she gave up. That was how it usually went. Oh well, he thought. He felt bad for her, unable to enjoy this magnificent view because she was too busy arguing with Moonwing.
Fourteen-year-olds, he thought. They're always fighting, aren't they? He was getting annoyed, their arguing was drowning out the blue bird's song. Ugh. "That's it! No more fighting!" he yelled. They stopped instantly. Finally. The blue bird's song filled the car again. It is so cheerful, he thought. Doesn't it know how cruel this world can be?
He, himself was confused about that. Why would anybody want to kill teenagers? Why would anybody experiment on teenagers? Why would anybody want to bring the dead back to life? It was so confusing, it made his head hurt. He shook his head, making his long blonde hair shake, too.
His blue eyes were fixed on the forest. He loved forests. They were so deep, and it looked as if they knew the earth's deepest secrets. But then again, a forest can't hold secrets… or could it? Oh, well. He knew he would never have a chance to find out of what they were doing. This endless thing, they never seemed to find what they where looking for. He thought about what it was like to on your own. Terrible memories shot him in the head. "Ugh." he moaned.
He heard Luna speak but couldn't make out the words. Flashing through his mind - like bullets - memories popped in and out. Some were ones he didn't recognize and some he did. Some of the memories he had were of him in the alley, starving, almost dead again. And some that he didn't recognize were of a big building, where he was inside a huge lab on a stretcher, dead.
"AAAHHH!!!!" he screamed. He heard the car screech to a halt. He was finally released from the grasp of the headache and lay down gasping for air. Luna got out of the car - he could hear her slam the door. Then he heard his open and she rushed to his aid. A little too late for help Luna. She picked him up with ease and laid him on the golden grass. He moaned; he still had a painful feeling in his head, but that he could deal with. He was scared though.
He had never had a mind pain like this. At least, not for a while. He'd had one when he was little, but that was different. At least it was over. Whew.
----------
"ARK!!!!" I screamed in his ear. He then shook his head, making his hair fly. When he looked at me, he looked as if he had seen a ghost. Or at least something close to that. I felt relieved; I had thought he was having a seizure or something. "Ark what happened?" I said trying to sound strong, but the shakiness found a way out of its box. Oh well; it made Ark smile. But Moonwing was still shaken.
Still, it took a while for him to recover. We left the car in the sandy shoulder were we had skidded to a stop. Waiting till dark we got a running start and jumped fifteen feet in the air. Right when we started to fall we snapped out our wings from their uncomfortable positions. Aaahhh. I thought. Flying felt more comfortable than driving. Oh yes, much better.
Both boys seemed to be happier too. As we flew I thought of the danger we could get in if we where seen. Gosh, I can see it now Flying Bird Kids Seen In Sky. Dang we would probably be first page material … awesome. Well, I have so much to worry about, so that is the last thing I should worry about. The thing I always must think about is that if we get captured; we will try to escape.
Finally we passed over a town. I think Moonwing said he saw a sign that said "Welcome to Harington!". Well Harington it is then. Maybe this town we will find what we are always looking for - more us! "Do we even want to bother to look, Luna?" Moonwing said.
"Of course. That will always be my answer." I replied.
----------
Moonwing was tired of this, they always did this going town to town, looking for more only to find nothing. Ugh. he thought. Okay Moonwing. Get a grip. Now look for a hotel or something. He searched and searched but at last when he thought there was none, he found an expensive hotel. A Hilton Hotel.
Good. he thought. Somewhere to sleep… that's comfortable. A bed. He plunged down to the park nearby. Nobody saw him or the others. He started at a walk to the Hilton, but then as his excitement grew so did his pace. By the time he got to the Hilton he was running as fast as possible at human speed. Because he couldn't do super speed in a city. Finally, they entered and it was nice and fancy. He got a room for them and headed to it. Number 47 nope, nope, nope, oh there it is! They got inside and were as happy as mutants can be.
