Chapter 1: a strange place
I opened my eyes only to find myself in a dog cage; it was only big enough for me to sit in so I couldn't move. I felt something feathery against my back I turned and was shocked, a large pair of dark gray wings was coming out of my back. What the hell had happened to me and where was I anyway? I looked around and I saw that I wasn't alone in the room, there were lots of other cages some with animals but some with other kids, younger that I was. I was fourteen the other kids in the room appeared to be between the ages of eight-ten. I held my head to try and remember what was going on, images flashed through my mind. I saw mazes, electricity static, myself screaming, fluids being injected into me, and then the door to the room flew open.
Six kids three of them appeared to be about the same age as me, came bursting into the room. They began spreading out in the room opening all of the cages; one of them came to my cage. I cowered into the back of the cage frightened, a girl with short blond hair squatted in front of my cage holding her hand out to me. "Come on we're busting you out, all of you." She said. I slowly made my way to the front of the cage, when she saw my wings her eyes widened. Looking away she led the others and I out of the room, we approached a door that led into a putrid smelling sewer. I followed the group of strangers not knowing what was going to happen next, a large figure suddenly blocked our path. It was Ari an Eraser who use to beat the other experiments' and I, the blond haired girl stood in front of the others.
"Fang get everyone out of here!" she told a boy with jet black hair.
He nodded at her, and then led the others to a demolished gate.
"What are you doing?" I asked her.
"Just go I'll meet up with all of you soon." She replied.
She charged at Ari and immediately began fighting each other; I froze and watched the fight. Fang ran towards me, grabbing my wrist he began pulling me to the gate "come on!" he shouted. I followed him out; we all were out sooner than I expected us to be. I watched as the other experiments fled to places I didn't know, I walked away from the others I would have flown but I didn't know how to fly. Out of the corner of my eye I saw the girl emerge from the entrance we'd come out of, she was covered in sweat and breathing heavily. I continued walking not knowing where to go; I didn't remember anything of my past only of that horrible place.
"Why don't you come with us?" the girl called to me.
"I-I can't." I replied turning to them.
"Aww why not, were not weird or anything. Well besides the wings." One of the smaller kids, a boy, said.
"You mean you all have wings too?" I asked with disbelief. "Wait does that mean you're the flock?"
"That's us, we have wings to which means us winged people should stick together." The blond haired girl said.
I was still unsure; I'd been told at the school that the flock was a group of rouge experiments. I glanced at each of them I remember something they'd said, I tied thinking of names. After a while of thinking I finally remembered.
Max the leader of the flock-She appears five feet tall, has blond hair, brown eyes, and fair skin. She was wearing a short sleeve black and white striped shirt, a pair of dark blue skinny jeans, a short jean jacket, and a pair of convers.
Fang second in command- he's an inch or two taller than Max, has jet black hair that had a chunk covering his right eye, dark colored eyes, and olive tone skin. He was wearing a red shirt with a skull on it, a black jacket that came to his elbows, a pair of black skinny jeans with chains on the left pocket, and a pair of black convers.
Iggy explosives expert- he was about six feet tall, skinny, really pale looking skin, reddish-blonde hair, and light blue eyes. I heard that he was blind but didn't know if it was true. He had on a plaid shirt, blue jeans, and a pair of convers.
Gazzy explosives expert- He appears to be about three feet tall, has blond hair, blue eyes, and lightly tanned skin. He was wearing a hoodie with a star in the middle, a pair of jeans with a hole in the right knee, and a pair of black sneakers.
Angel Gazzy's sister- She was about the same height as Gazzy maybe an inch or two shorter, she had curly blond hair, big blue eyes, and pale skin. She had on a light pink shirt, blue jean shorts, and a pair of brown sneakers.
Nudge the motor mouth- she was about four feet tall, had light brown skin, gray colored eyes, and dark brown hair with blond in the bangs. She was wearing a foam color tank top, dark blue jeans, and gray convers.
I looked at each of them with a questioning gaze; I didn't know how to answer them. They all came towards me, surrounding me. Each of them placed a hand on my shoulders then gave me a large grin, each of them looked at me waiting for an answer. I gulped and backed away, I still couldn't go with them what would they think of my other side?
"But I don't know how to fly." I muttered.
"We can teach you." They all said at once.
We were in a slightly populated area so they couldn't take off here; I followed them to into some nearby trees. They all unhurled they're wings and took to the sky, though Max and Fang stayed behind. I slowly spread my dark grey wings and mimicked what the other two did; first they took a running head start then leaped into the air once up they gave their wings a flap in order to stay air born. I ran then gave my wings a strong flap; I got up a good five feet off the ground before I lost altitude and started falling. I flapped in order to prevent myself from hitting the ground, my wings caught the air and I soared upward. I flapped near Max and Fang who gave me grins and thumbs up for doing it, I followed behind them looking down at the small world below.
