Break Away

by Google Cat

Young Leo Craig grew up at the School and he broke away four years ago, along with his Flock. The first four years were the easiest, but hard times have come and it may cost Leo everything, even though everything is already lost. Even though the young man has broken free. He still needs to Break Away.

Two dark brown eyes opened, blinking against the cold darkness surrounding them. The body the two eyes belonged to was quiet, minus the small gurgling sound it made as if breathed. Ten little fingers stretched out, reaching up, then balled into two tiny fists. The fists punched the air and a cry escaped the mouth of the body. The body was a baby. A baby boy to be exact.

Suddenly, light flooded into the room the baby was in, causing the baby to flinch at the sudden burst of light. Footsteps rang loud in clear within the room and the child tensed. As if this was his everyday life, he laid still. It was.

"What is the child? Stupid? We should have never done this! He hasn't opened his eyes yet and it has been at least two days!" the voice was angry and cruel, complaining. Another voice spoke back to him, "Sir, the Camera's have shown that the child has opened his eyes and even cried. He's not stupid."

The other voice growled back, but said nothing for a few moments. Then he spoke again, "Make him open his eyes."

Then there was silence. The child didn't move, for fear of something. Then, his eyes fluttered open to see two men, both dressed in white coats. The taller, more gruff looking one, gasped, clasping his hand over his mouth. He was dumbstruck. The child's eyes were filled with knowledge, somehow. The other man nodded, a smile plain as day on his face, "I told you he wasn't stupid."

The gruff man nodded, still dumbfound, and composed himself, "We shall begin, then."

The other man smirked, crossing his arms, "Come on, Little one." he whispered. The baby rolled himself to his belly, two brown wings sprouting from his back. Then he gurgled and sat, glaring at the men. The gruff one laughed a sarcastic laugh, then turned and left the room. The other man scooped the baby up and carried him, the childs face looking over his shoulder. As they exited the room, the child began to beat with his tiny fist and his fight to survive began.
