Limited Wings
Chapter 1: Fear of the Unkown..with. Wings?
There was no time to explain anything, I grabbed Lyric's hand and ran as fast as I could out of that old smelly crap whole of a building we were trapped in for days. "Skye! Where are we gonna go? They're after us!" She bellowed to me as we reached the dark forest. It was about midnight I assumed. "I don't know! Maybe we can find a police station around here! C'mon!" I yelled as I saw two big guys coming from behind us, one screaming something to the other. They were on motorcycles so it was easy for them to catch up to us. Why the heck were they on motorcycles? I thought as more motorcycles had surrounded us. Lyric was full of adrenaline and furious, she scares me when she gets like that. We immediately got into fighting stances back to back, like always.
As the group of pathetic kidnappers inched closer to us, their leader came out and spoke; "Now now ladies, we don't have to get violent." The Leader said with a sincere tone. Hah, that's funny. Not violent.. "But if you insist." He motioned one of his henchmen to demonstrate what they'd do to us if we didn't cooperate. The guy picked up a twig and snapped it into many pieces. "Ohh noo please don't do that! That would huuurt." Lyric said with extreme sarcasm. The Leader twitched a little and snapped his fingers for the henchmen to engage attack. Show time folks.
I launched a kick to the chest at the first guy who was charging at me, making him fall to the ground breathlessly. "Split!" I yelled as two guys were coming from our left then our right. We jumped a few feet away making the fools run into each other like bulls. I had to chuckle a bit because I had to admit, that was pretty stupid. Just then A huge guy with serious BO came up behind me and held me by my neck. I arched my back a little then elbowed him straight in the gut, which made him wheeze, but not let go. So I tried stomping on his foot, which in turn made him increase his grip around my neck. I wasn't about to give in to this guy. Even though I'm almost out of oxyegen!. Just when I was about to attempt to flip this large man over my head, I heard The Leader say; "Look! We have your sister!" She struggled to get loose but another big ape had a M-16 to her head, and another with a very sharp knife to her throat. Jeez can you say over kill? I thought. Then the guy that had a grip on me suddenly let go and dropped head first to the ground. Uh. What just happend?.. Then the guy holding the M-16 shot a few rounds and fell to the ground unconcious. The Leader, shocked and appalled "What is going on here! I demand to know now!" He explained as fear arose in his eyes, making them widen to see what was lurking in the dark. Then I heard a BOOM! I looked around franticly for Lyric who was on her hands and knees gasping for air, just as I was. I lurched over to her when a greenish gas appeared around us. What the?.. "Hurry cover your mouth!" I heard Lyric say before I inhaled once, I was so tired..I hadn't eaten in oh I don't know, 24 hours?..And when we did all we had was prison food: Stale bread and soild milk... I got dizzy, but before I fell unconcious I saw a dark person standing above me..with..wings? Impossible..Then I was gone.
