Hey guys. This is my new story (obviously).
Enjoy
Fang's point of view
This is my story. The story of the free.
We're all born free of this world around us. We have no label yet.
So here I am.
Here I am-this is me
I come into this world so wild and free
Here I am-so young and strong
Right here in the place where I belong
My name's Fang. And I was born free. Unlike a lot of people in the world I live in.
It's a new world-a new start
It's alive with the beating of young hearts
It's a new day-in a new land
And It's waiting here for me
I'm not exactly your everyday teenager. I am the leader of my village. I earned this role from my father before me. I'm the oldest son of my mother Alice and the big brother to my foster sister Nudge.
Oh
It's a new world-it's a new start
It's alive with the beating of young hearts
Yeah It's a new day-in a new land
And it's waiting for me
Here I am
As leader it's my job to keep everyone safe from the collectors.
The collectors are these rich people that live in the east. They travel around here in the west capturing kids under eighteen, forcing the kids to work for them. It's a really bad form of child labor.
We live in a group of about 20 people. We call our selves a flock because of one little thing I didn't mention. We have wings. No one knows how we got them or when we did but they've come in a handy several times. My mother told me what her mother told her. Maybe crazy people, like really insane people decided to Re-evolutionize mankind. So they might have genetically changed us to make us some what better.
We live in what we call the grass lands. There is miles and miles of land, and mountains everywhere you look. My father once told me before he died, that beyond the mountains is a great plain. Nothing but desert everywhere you look. Not one trace of water for miles.
"It's my turn to take first watch mom." I yelled from the entrance way of our tent. Even though I was leader, we still had turns for first watch. "I'm going to mom." I heard Nudge yell. "Okay you two be safe." My mom said and waved from the entrance.
We walked without a word on our way to the look-out. It didn't even look like I was there at all. I was dressed in all black. Black shirt and pants. Unlike Nudge who was wearing a white tank-top and shorts. It was strange with all the silence. Usually Nudge talked the whole way there without taking a breath.
As we came to a stop, I looked around. To my left, there was mountains. To my right, there was the forest and in front of me was the canyon. We sat down on a fallen log and watched.
"So Fang, today me and my friend went out to the pond and we heard this rustling sound in the bushes and out popped a bear. And we're like oh my gosh and we like start to run and then I trip on a fallen branch and the bear falls to and misses me by that much. And then I jumped up and flew away and the bears all like GRRRRRRR! And I was laughing so hard. And then I crashed into a tree and landed in the pond. Like how funny is that. You know you don't talk much. Well I guess that after twelve years I would know by now but it's not even like you talk at all. Why?" She finished. "Are you done?" I asked. "Hey you talked!" I just shook my head. My dad once told me about these things called radios, and they had all these channels that played music and told you about the weather. So we call Nudge the Nudge channel. All Nudge all the time.
I looked towards the forest again and I saw a orange glow in the trees. "What's that?" I asked Nudge pointing to the forest.
"Fang seriously you need to change your whole two or three words a sentence thing. Because- oh that. I dunno. Wanna check it out?" I rolled my eyes and nodded.
"Lets go."
We took a running start and we flew off. Ahhh I love flying. I have pitch black wings and Nudge has tawny brown. Flying is better than anything ever invented. It's better than food and maybe better than music. The wind in you hair. I sighed I love life.
We landed about a hundred meters away from the forest outline. The orange glow turned out to be a bomb fire. There was three tents surrounding the fire and a large pole off to the side with two kids tied to it. A boy and a girl around the ages of six and eight. "Who are these people?" Nudge asked. I shrugged and shook my head. Monsters
Then the little girl looked up at us with big piercing blue eyes. She nudged the boy who also had blue eyes, and pointed towards us. Nudge silently waved at them but they were shaking their heads and waving their arms around like crazy. The little boy even drew his finger across his throat. That's when everything went black.
Max's point of view.
This is it. I thought. We'll break them out this time. My friend Iggy and I are about to bust into the school. Yep, we're gonna bust them out. All the kids in there and bring them back to my village. Lets just say that it's easier said then done.
I've tried many times before, but always end up getting caught. Lucky for me I can break out without causing a scene.
The school is this huge building surrounded by other small buildings around it. It's like a military school, everyone wears suits with badges, but the kids just wear white pants and white t-shirts.
They put kids in cages and operate on them making them mutants instead of soldiers. How do I know? Well other then being kept in cages my pal Iggy and I have the wings to prove it. Ya I'm a mutant freak but you gotta love me.
"What's the plan Maxie?"
"Iggy call me that one more time and I'll kick you from here to next week."
"Oh now Max don't be such a grumpy guss. Now what's the-ow!" He started rubbing his arm. "What was that for?" He asked pouting. "For calling me a grumpy guss. Now be quiet would ya. Give me a seck."
We were under the school in the sewers. There was a vent right over us. At the right time we were gonna move the vent and jump inside the school.
"What do you see Max?" Oh and one more thing. Iggy is blind. Ya the whitecoats (who are the evil, wacko scientists that operate on innocent children) tried to make his eye sight better but failed and made him blind. But you wouldn't believe it. Iggy can cook a mean rabbit stew (another story) and he acts like he isn't.
"Okay. We got this." I looked up at the vent and heard voices.
"Four new experiments Mr. Batchelder. But two of them already had wings. We have come to the conclusion that they are the new generation of the first successful experiments. I believe the avian hybrid 1.0." One scientist said. "Excellent Jeremy. And the other two?" asked what I'm guessing was the Batchelder guy. "We predict that they have been here in the past because we tracked traces of forming mutation. Meaning they are evolving, Sir." Some other guy said. "Thank you Elliot. Prepare their operations. I want two new avian hybrids in an hour." Mr. Batchelder said. "Yes sir." And I heard reseating foot steps and a door shut.
"Iggy, give me a lift."
"Ya sure thing."
Iggy bent down and I stepped on his hands and lifted the vent a little. Looking through I saw a man in a white coat standing with his back to us. He was filling some vile with green liquid. I lowered the vent.
"Okay Iggy. There's one man in there with his back towards the vent. If we get up silently we'll have time to knock him out without anyone noticing." I whispered.
"Is this one of your 'I'm doing this and this only' plans." He asked staring at a place above my eyebrows.
"Yup!"
"Oh brother."
I stood on his hands again and lifted the vent. That man wasn't there anymore.
"What the-" I was tugged up from the sewer and I met the eyes of the man I loath.
"Hey Jeb."
"Maximum. I'm surprised you came back… hint the sarcasm." Jeb smiled.
"You know Jeb, if you want to insult someone by sarcasm then you don't say 'hint the sarcasm' it ruins the whole effect of the insult." I said as and sat down on his desk with my legs crossed.
Iggy came up a minute later. "Max what's your plan now?"
"Hmmmm…" I wasn't really paying attention. I was looking at a needle. .NEEDLES! I picked it up and snapped it.
"Maximum, was that really necessary." He said rushing over and threw the needle in the garbage.
"Ya it was." Then I punched him in the face and he fell to the floor unconscious.
"Hey Iggy," I said checking Jeb's pulse. "Did you know that Jeb's last name was Batchelder?" I asked now finished with Jeb.
"No…no I didn't."
"Huh." I dusted my hands. "It's time for phase two Iggy. Stop those operations."
"Oh jeez." Iggy said shaking his head.
"Let's go." I said smiling.
We were walking in the bottom floor of the school. There was operation windows everywhere. One window had a little boy-or what I thought was a little boy. He was covered in warts and there was bubbles all over his skin. The poor thing was on a metal table shaking. I almost barfed it was so disgusting. Monsters. I thought.
We took another right and was faced with a door. I looked inside and saw hundreds of cages.
Fang's point of view
I woke up feeling really dizzy. I sat up and banged my head on something. It was the top of a cage. Where the heck am I? I thought.
Bang! "Ow! Fang? Where are you Fang?" Yelled Nudge.
"Nudge it's okay I'm over here." I answered. Nudge was in a smaller cage across from me.
"Where are we?" She asked. I shrugged I don't know.
Flashback,
I woke up with a start as a huge bump lifted me in a few inches in the air. Where was I? Looking around I noticed that I was in the trunk of a vehicle. Nudge was beside me unconscious.
"What do you think the boss is gonna do with them?" Some in the front asked.
"I dunno. Maybe turn them into some type of frog." Another guy asked. There was some laughing.
"I heard Miss Bridget talking to the boss the other day, something about needing two new bird kids for a project of theirs." A man said this time coming from what sounded like the drivers seat.
"Who knows Grant. They're always creating some alien looking creatures that look nothing like kids. I say those kids won't last forty eight hours in that Devil House." The first guy stated.
Whoa. So they were going to experiment on us? Are they insane?
There was a cough coming from behind me and I saw those two kids again.
It was the boy who had woken up. He had big blue eyes and spiky blonde hair. He looked about eight years old. He was wearing a torn up navy blue t-shirt and dirt covered camouflage shorts with red converse. I looked at him with no emotion while he looked at me with curiosity. He shrugged and stretched his arms out wide in a yawn.
There was another bump and I was sent slamming into the side of the car.
"what's goin' on back there?" Came a last thought was that me and Nudge weren't the ones getting experimented on. Then the world went black.
End of flashback.
Oh god they were going to experiment those kids. I have to save them
"Nudge we gotta get out of here now!" I said just as the door opened.
A man in a white coat entered with a wolf-monster-thing following behind it pushing a trolley. The man had a pathetic looking clip board in his . He came towards Nudge, marked something down and nodded to the monster. The monster then picked her cage up and onto the trolley.
"Hey! What are you doing? Let her go!" I yelled at them. But the monster just picked up my cage and put me on the trolley as well.
The clip-board man started walking to the door with us following close behind. We exited the room and entered a white walled hallway. We rolled along for five minutes and then came to a metal door. The man took out some keys and searched them until he found the right one. He unlocked the door and we came into a large dome it seemed like with mazes everywhere.
We had just entered the door of death.
