Twelve Years Gone
Flashback
"Jeb, please!" I squealed. "You have to take us out of here!" I looked up at him from the chair I was strapped to. "All of us! Max, and Fang, and Iggy, and Nudge, and Gazzy, and Angel!" He just looked down at me sadly.
"And how do you suggest I do that?" he asked. Jeb was the only nice-ish white-coat here. He seemed to generally care about our well-being, and didn't call us 'things'. Glancing at the security camera's a beckoned to him with my finger. He leaned down in front of me, and I explained my plan.

I sat in my bed remembering the old days. Those day's in the School where they put us through hell every day. Smiling I remembered my freinds, and planning to escape with them. Then the smile slipped off my face. Oh yah. They'd left me behind. Or rather she had. Max.
Flashback
The cage door was flug shut in my face.
"Next time you should co-operate," came an icy voice from the other side. "Otherwise we might have to activate your expiation date." I raised an eyebrow. Expiration date? Before I could ask, the white-coat was out of the room and in the hallway. I lowered myself onto my elbows and looked around. A slight movement from the other doorway caught my eye. It was Jeb and the rest of my Flock. They were all out of their cages and whispering quietly. They were to far away to hear with me, without yelling, and I didn't want any whitecoats to come running. I settled for waving my hand. Jeb looked up.
"Are you sure there's no-one else you want to bring?!" I saw his lips form the words. Jeesh. It sucked having soundproof rooms. Max looked up at me and I met her large chocolate brown eyes confidently. Of course she'd take me. I was part of the Flock. This whole escaping thing had been my idea! We were best freinds. Partners. I watched her eyes, and suddenly, as surely as if i was tied to the tracks and a train was coming, my hopes and dreams were crushed. She turned and walked through the door, slowly shaking her head.
