Chapter 1: Discovery
As my vision cleared, I saw four people in white coats. Everything was bright white. the walls, the door, and the feathers all around me. Why are there feathers?
The feathers looked like a strange sort of rug on the cold linoleum floor. I raised my head to get up, but a searing pain went through me. It felt like someone was slowly ripping the skin from my back.
My vision went blurry and my hearing dimmed again. What is happening to me? As I struggled to stay concious, I began to hear the people talking in hushed voices....I just couldn't understand their mumbling.
My eyesight became less foggy and i realized that if I moved my head diagonally, it wouldn't hurt me and I would be able to see my surroundings easier. I noticed that a blanket of feathers was covering me, too. I also saw that I was strapped down to a silver operating table with black straps.
I started to panic. Light bulbs popped, doctors flew across the room, but most importantly, the straps broke. The doctors that weren't injured scurried around the white room looking for new straps.
I struggled to sit up. Then I realized the source of my pain earlier. I had two feathery appendages rudely stitched to my back. As I stared at them, I realized they were wings. I wanted to scream, but i couldn't find my voice. more light bulbs popped. Guards and feathers flew across the room. I looked at the wings again, amazed. The wings were in a see-through green gel in a huge metal vat hanging from the bottom of the operating table. There were beautiful white feathers suspended in the gel. I decided I had to get away!
I struggled to sit up, but the gel wouldn't give.
A guard saw me trying to get up, and ran to the table. He placed his fingertips to the center of my forehead.
A demanding voice in the back of my mind said, "sleep now. You need your rest, my little creation."
"Where am I?" I thought back.
The voice said, "You are home."
