1. Chapter 1

Kendra

Pain. It was everywhere.

It left me motionless and in darkness. It was a welcome feeling from the truth that I did not want to acknowledge

My sister was gone to a place where death was a blessing.

The lab.

A while had passed and the silence hung over my head like death, while the throbbing pain from the bullet wound in my arm reminded me that I was still alive. I opened one eye slightly. It was still nighttime and I was still in the forest. Hearing heavy footsteps approaching, I close my eyes once more, barely breathing. Hoping that they wouldn't find me like this and drag me back to the lab. The hopes die as the footsteps draw closer, stopping right at the side of my head. I almost want to cry. All this effort to escape and stay hidden over the years means nothing now that they found me. A flashlight is shined in my face before the person that found me.

"There's an injured girl lying here! I need help to move her!"

I prepare myself to run as I hear the man kneel next to me. He takes off my jacket and touches my wound slightly. It's one of the scientists, I'm sure of it. I unexpectedly punch him in the face, breaking his nose, leaving him lying on the ground calling to the rest of the group while I blindly bolt into the trees running as fast as I can, panting heavily and dizzy from blood loss. I just need a clearing and then I can take off I think as I zigzag through the trees, hoping to lose any pursuers. I spot a clearing, using my last bit of strength to launch myself forward into the clearing. Oh shit There must be dozens of them here. They've all spotted me and are running toward me. There's only one thing left to do. In one fluid motion, I pick up speed and launch myself into the air spreading my wings and pushing myself upwards away from my pursuers. I smile, light headed and injured, but still free to go and rescue May. Then suddenly, I feel a sudden pinch in my leg, looking down to see that a tranquilizer dart had hit me. "Damn it!" I shout frantically flapping my wings before fading into darkness right before I hit the ground.
