I've never felt kindness in my seven years of life. Oh, I know you must be thinking this girl is a total drama queen… I wish it was that. See ever since I could remember I've been stuck in this cage and the only thing I got to see in it was crud iron bars blocking me from a white room with nothing but a pair of frighting lab doors. I don't know how I got here or who brought me here but all I know is I was stuck. Stuck alone with the whitecoats and the half human half lupine things known as Erasers. They were equally as cruel as the next and there was no escaping them.
The only complete humans in this devilish building called the School were the whitecoats and no I wasn't forgetting myself. The whitecoats like to expirement on anything with a pulse. Unfournatly I had one, so they combined my human DNA with 2% bird DNA. The result? Me, Maximum Ride, 98% human 2% bird. I have wings that are genetically morphed into my back, snuggling up against my spine until I let them out.
For their sick amusment they run tests on me, tests to see what I can do. They'll leave me in a room with four or five erasers to see how long I can fight them off until they can kill me. Once they kill me the whitecoats would just bring me back and start over. They'd strap me to a table and eject cold liquid into my veins to see what painful dreams I could withstand. Sometimes when they have a fresh batch of Erasers, they'll let me out into the woods for them to hunt down. It never ended for me.
So whoever came up with the expression whatever hurts you makes you stronger come spend a day with me.
