The funny thing about facing imminent death is that it really snaps
everything else into perspective. Take right now for instance.Run! Come on, run! You know you can do it!
I gulped deep lungfuls of air. My brain was on hyperdrive, i was racing
for my life. My one goal was to escape. Nothing else mattered.
My arms being cut to ribbons by the brair I just ran threw? No biggie.
My bare feet scraping against every sharp rock, rough root and pointed stick? Not a problem.
My lungs burning and in desparate need of air? I could deal.
As long as i put as much distance as i could between me and the hybrids.
Yeah, the hybrids: half-men, half-wolf, usually armed, always bloodthirsty. Right now they were after me.
See? That snaps everything else into perspective.
Run! You're faster than they are! You can out run all the normals!
I'd never been this far away from the School, i was totally lost.
Still, my arms pumped by my side, my feet crashed through the
underbush, my eyes scanned ahead anxiously through the half-light. I
could out run them. I could find a clearing, with enough space for me
to--
Oh no! Oh no!
The unearthly baying of bloodhounds on the scent whailed threw the
trees, and I felt sick. I could out run men and hybrids no
problemo.
No way could i out run a big dog.
Dogs, dogs, go away, let me live another day.
I glanced around i was ahead but the dogs were getting closer. Dim
light filtered in threw the woods infront of me-a clearing? Please,
please...A clearing could save me.
I burst threw the trees, chest heaving, a thin sheen of cold sweat on my pale skin.
Yes!
Oh no! Shit!
I skidded to a halt, my arms waving, my feet backpedaling in the rocky dirt.
It wasn't a clearing. Infront of me was a cliff, a sheared face of a
rock that dropped to an unseeable floor hundreds of feet below.
In the back of me were woods filled with drooling bloodhounds and psycho Hybrids with guns.
Both options stank.
The dogs were yelping exitedly-they found there pray. Moi.
There was no choice, really. If you were us, you'd have done the same thing.
I closed my eyes, held out my arms...and let myself fall over
the edge of the cliff.The hybrids screamed angrily, the dogs barked
hysterically, and then all i could hear was the sound of the wind
rushing past.It was so damn peaceful, for a second I smiled.Then taking
a deep breath, I unfurl my wings, as hard and fast as i could.Thirteen
feet across, snowy white with the odd silver feather, they caught the
air and i was suddenly yanked upward, hard, as if a parachute had just
opened.
Yow! Note to self: No sudden unfurling.
Wincing, i pushed downward with all my strength, then pulled my wings up, the pushed downward.
Oh my god, i was flying-just like i'd always dreamed.
The cliff floor, draped in shadow, receded beneath me. I laughed and
surged upward, I felt the pull of my muscles, the air whistling through
my secondary feathers, the breeze drying the sweat on my face.
I soared up past the cliff edge, past the startled hounds and furious Hybrids.
One of them, hairy-faced, fangs dripping raised his gun. A red dot
appeared on my shoulder, the basic sports bra on my top half and small
shorts on my bottom not protecting me one bit from it.
Not today you bastard!
Veering sharply west so the setting sun would be in his hate-crazed eyes.
I'm not going to die today.
Max sat up in her bed breathing hard. She looked down at her top,
making sure there was no mark. It was always the same. Run away, fly,
get shot. She stood up and looked at her 15 yearold room mate.
Jasmine was curled up in her bed, long golden blond hair spilling over
the edge of her bed. Max always wished she could be like Jasmine.
Beautiful long golden blond hair, grass green eyes, tanned, a thin and
small frame. Her power wasn't that bad either. Jasmine was your basic
enegy caster. She could transform her body into glowing bright pink
energy, but still keeping her body shape. She could fly, heal and shoot
pink blasts. Max however had wavy brown hair, a tall and wiry frame,
dark eyes and wings coming out her back. Not much else needed.
She remembered how the group that named themselves Alpha Omega had let her join. It was a relativly small group of mutants.
She smiled thinking of them.
