There was no others like me in the school. All alone, all alone. Until the science lab doors burst open. I looked up preparing myself for unimaginable torture. But instead of lab coats bird kids barged in. My lifeless eyes brightened a little. I wasn't alone there were others like me others with wings! The tall blond one walked right up to my medium sized dog crate opened it reaching out her hand. The other bird kids had already opening the other bird kids started opening the other crates.
"Come on." the tall blond offered.
Surprised by myself for trusting her, it could of easily been a lab coat trick, I toke her hand. Me and the other avian kids followed them through the sewers.
Then as predictable as it was an eraser popped up.
"That way." the blond tall girl said.
What? Shes letting us go! I herded the other hybrids that way and didn't look back as we ran through the sewers. I felt so bad I just knew that girl and her friends would be killed by that eraser.
As we were running a white coat apparently on his way back to the lab we stopped in our tracks the white coat walked past us taking a quick glance at me as he passed.
We had run and run but eventually everyone got tired. Everyone tried to slope down on a dry ledge. I stretched my wings for the first time in what felt like ages. I looked over the group of hybrids and avian kids.
" What a relief to be out of there!" a raccoon piped up braking the silence, " I was starting to think I'd have to live and die in that rat hole."
"Hey!" squeaked a rat the size of a small Chihuahua. "Rat holes are actually pretty clean unlike those litter infested places your species likes to live in!"
For the first time I really looked over the group there was a small black boy with spiky hair and a monkey tail, twins about age 5 with cat-like quality's, A snow white dog and cat with bat wings, And a girl turned to the wall. From what I could see she had fins on her arms on the top of her head. There was also something I hadn't noticed until it curled up at my feet. It was the most beautiful cat I'd ever seen besides the three eyes and angle wings.
As I looked at the group which seemed so much bigger in the science lab I felt something in the pit of my stomach as if the creatures before me were calling out to me asking for help.
"Okay listen up!" I said unfurling my wings a little and rustling my feathers. "first things first we need to get out of these sewers, like now!"
