Prologue

When my brother and I were born we had the anatomy that no other human should have. My brother more than me at first, but I changed around the age of five. Someone later told me that I was never supposed to know my brother, my twin brother. He also told me that if I hadn't known him I would be dead at this very moment in time and not be able to tell my tale.

When we were born the doctor was supposed to proclaim me and my brother dead to my parents and take us to a place called the School. Unfortunately for that doctor he took pity on us for some unknown reason and let our parents take us home. Though before letting them go home he told them everything that the School had done to us, and he also told them how to keep us a secret.

It's scary to think that I could have never known my brother, my twin, and I am sorry for what became of the doctor that took pity on us.

To explain why we are so different, my brother and I are Human-Avian hybrids. When we were small we were supposed to be taken away for a long life of tortures and 'tests'. Now because of our fortunate encounter with a kind doctor we live a peacefully in a home in Maryland, close to D.C. We have six people living in our house me, Maria, and my twin, Nick. We are fourteen. Will is twelve and Ava is nine.

How do we deal with life when the going gets tough? Well why don't you see for yourself.
