The sound of echoing footsteps grew louder and louder. Kiraria slid to the back of her dogcrate hoping to hide. But unfortunatly there wasn't really anywhere to hide in a square box.
"Kiraria?" came a small wavering voice from the crate next to mine."They're not going to take me away again are they?" I reached through the darkness until I found her small hand. Squeezing it tight, I mustered up all my courage. "It'll be alright Flutter. I promise," I reassured her. But the truth was I wasn't so sure of that myself. Mabye we wouldn't manage to escape? What would happen to the six of us then?
Would we waste away here in the darkness, never knowing when our next "outing" would come (Which was just scientist slang for hey-let's-take- these-experiments-and-make-them-do-a-bunch-of-crazy-stuff-and-see-what-happens). I didn't think I could stand another minute of being hooked up to scensors while they watched us run, fly, swim, and swing. I don't think any of us could stand it.
"Everyone," I whispered. "Stay down and stay quiet. Whatever they want I'll do it." Someone started to speak but the sound of a creaking door caught my attention.
"Take me," I said simply, looking up at the man in the white lab coat. "I'll do whatever you need me to."
"Well isn't that a nice sentiment," he smiled. "Sadly this requires all of your unique 'talents'. I'm very sorry," he said in a tone of voice that said he wasn't at all the least bit sorry. He motioned towards the door, "You're going out there."
"Into the hallway," I said sarcasticly, " That's new." He sighed,
"Yes it is. You're leaving." he answered.
"You mean outside. Away from the dog crates? What for?" I asked slowly. This had to be some sort of joke. There was no way they would just let us leave. We were the only succesfull experiments they had left.
"Yes outside. You're going to find the other six experiments. And you're going to capture them," he sneered. "If you don't I can guaruntee that one of your 'family' might end up dissapearing." He had me there. I would never let anyone take them.
"What do you want us to do?" I asked. We would 'try' to capture these other mutants, then we would escape. I didn't care if they chipped us. We would just keep running, hiding, and fighting. No matter what they wouldn't get us back in these dog crates.
"We've enrolled you in the Day and Night School. The six experiments are currently going to school there. You need to make them trust you then lead them back here so we can capture them." he smiled. I sighed, and nodded. Afterall I would do anything to save my family.
