"Louise! Wake up!" my best friend and sister Lauren hissed at me.
Yeah, you heard me right. Her CAGE. We're at the School, being tortured by evil mad scientists, or whitecoats, as we call him. They've turned us into experiments, only 96% human. The rest is 2% hawk and 2% cheetah. There were originally six of us, but the others died a few days after being changed.
Me and Lauren are 13, we think. Even though we've only been here for a couple months, we don't remember anything about our past, except for our names. Even then, Lauren was the one who remembered. All I have of the past is a necklace has a charm in the shape of Tinkerbell.
"What?" I groaned to Lauren. She was a "dirty blond" with hazel eyes. Don't make a blond joke around her, she'll read your mind and tell everybody your most embarrassing secrets. Yeah, she gets mad easily.
"Erasers are coming!"
That got me up. Oh, FYI, Erasers are wolf-people who are the School's guards, trackers, and executioners. When phased, they are a bit bigger than regular wolves.
"What do we do?" I breathed to Lauren.
"Look asleep. They'll get you first."
"Got it." I told her through our weird mind speech. She smiled back at me in response.
I leaned back, and let my black hair cover my color-changing, normally dark brown eyes. You see, our eyes change based on our mood. For me, there is a huge difference, but for Lauren, there is just a different color tint.
About 30 seconds later, 3 Erasers came through the door. Huh. Guess they haven't learned that we can and will fight for our freedom.
Sure enough, they came to get me first. As soon as they opened the door, I bolted through the opening and snapped their necks, wincing as I did so.
"Come on." I hissed to Lauren as I let her out. We ran to the window and jumped out, spreading our wings in the evening twilight.
