Ok so this is my first fanfic. Please tell me if it's horrible…on second thought I'd rather you just stopped reading if you hate it. Just for starters this is written from Misty's point of view. The flock will show up in the next chapter. The "Academy" (the very last Itex related company not destroyed) will show up later along with more avian hybrids.

Disclaimer: I am not, nor will I ever be James Patterson. For starters I'm a girl…

On with the story!

I fingered the locket then carefully undid the clasp. It was a fitting thing to leave for my parents. My uncle Jeb had given it to me when I was found on my parent's doorstep after being missing for the first six months of my life.

I don't really know much about what happened. No one does, and my parents were content to leave it in the past (mostly because they were accused of being bad parents for not watching me better). All I know is that I was stolen from my crib and mysteriously returned six months later. When I turned eight, my parents agreed to let me legally change my. They changed theirs too (that publicity thing again). Anyway from that point on my life had been normal.

Until now.

I picked up the locket and refasten it around my neck. It meant more to me then to my parents. A silver heart with wings, how fitting. As I slung my bag over my shoulder, reality caught up with me. I was really leaving. I sat down on the edge of my bed. I didn't cry. As horrible as it sounds I knew my parents wouldn't miss me. They hadn't wanted a kid. Besides, I'd already wasted all my tears on friends, my cat, ect. Maybe they would understand. I thought for maybe the millionth time. No, my parents would never understand. Hello zoo. As much as I wanted to stay, I knew I had to go.

Taking one shaky breath, I threw open the window. The cool breeze played over my face. My fears were calmed for a second. I was ok, everything would be ok now. I climbed out the window and jumped off the ledge.

I flew.

How was that? I know it's super short, but it's just the prologue. To be clear her wings just started growing one day, that's why she's running away now. I'll explain why later (as soon as I figure out a good reason…) Anyway Read & Review…pretty please?
