The files
"Right," I said, my hands on Hattie's shoulders, "it's over there. In that drawer, and be quiet!" I looked into her big brown eyes.
"Okay." She said, and crept towards the stacks of drawers which towered over everything.
She opened her light brown wings and flew up a couple of feet and opened one of the top drawers.
"Got it!" Hattie shouted loudly.
"Oh my god Hattie please be quiet! You're going to wake them up!" I hissed.
"Oh sorry!" she whispered and she fluttered down.
You're probably wondering, what files? What's happening? Where are you? Who is 'them'? Well let me answer your questions my friend. Let's start with the basics:
I'm not normal. I am in fact 98% human and 2% avian
Which means I've got wings which is pretty awesome
I don't have parents (well, I do, it's just I got kidnapped by the White Coats when I was a baby and used as a science experiment.)
White Coats are our nicknames for the mad scientists who put the wings on our backs by the way
There are three of us. Me (Krystal), Savannah and Hattie, they are like little sisters too me. Hattie is a little loud!
We're kids, but we're stronger and faster than the average man. I'm fourteen, Hattie is seven and little Savannah is three. This challenge was too dangerous for Savannah so I asked an old friend to look after her but more on that later.
Right now, we are in Itex and trying to find our file which contains important information on who we are and who are family are and stuff like that. And, judging by the loud, excited voice of Hattie, I think she found them.
"Right, Hattie," I started, trying sound as patient as possible, "come over here and lets go before the Erasers come and rip our throats out, okay?"
She nodded and crept over to where I was standing and handed me a brown folder which had 'classified' stamped on the front with red ink.
"Okay, right," I said, not quite believing that I finally had the files in my hand, "let's go!"
But as I turned around, the familiar sound of the alarm rang through the building, deafening me and Hattie's ears.
"Quick! Follow me!" I cried at Hattie who just stood there in fright. The alarms give her bad memories of her in a cage. In the lab she went to, there was a small alarm that went off every time an experiment had gone wrong. I grabbed her hand and dragged her across the clean, squeaky floors, past lots of desks and straight into an Eraser.
Erasers; half wolf, half human, they work for the White Coats and are always thirsty for blood, our blood.
Before long, we were surrounded by them. One of them stepped forwards, obviously the leader, his teeth dripping with spit.
"Hello handsome." I said, winking at him.
"Give me the files and no-one will get hurt." The Eraser growled.
"No can-do buster! If you want it, you're going to have to get it yourself!"
"So be it!" he hissed and he lunged at me, claws and teeth sharper than ever. Bless him; he didn't know who he was up against.
I swung a perfect round kick, which hit him on the nose. Hard. He yelped in pain and surprise and landed awkwardly on his paw.
"Wow! That was easy!" I said. The rest of them looked in shock and horror at just what happened. The leader stood up weakly, and croaked,
"Get them!"
All of them charged towards us, teeth bearing. Me and Hattie got into our combat positions and we started to fight, one of them grabbed Hattie by the hair and she, very calmly, put her hands behind her and twisted his paw so hard and so fast that it broke almost instantly. That's my girl! I was so distracted watching Hattie fight so splendidly, that I did not see the boot swinging through the air which hit my stomach. I crumpled in pain, and couldn't breathe. My vision went quite fuzzy and I saw an Eraser walking towards me, quite calmly, with a taser gun. I breathed hard, even though I was still recovering, I knew that he was going to use that on me to try and get the file. I tensed my muscles. No, I was not going to let him do this! I'm strong! I heaved with all my strength and stood up, clutching my stomach. I groaned in pain. I pressed harder with my hand and closed my eyes. This was the only way. I felt the place where he hit me, and it started to heal. Oh, yeah, that's another thing I forgot to tell you, I've got healing powers. But the only thing I can't heal is colds and flu's, cancer, death, depressed people or a broken heart. But the bummer is I can only use the power two times a day, and that means I've only got one left.
"Krystal! Over here!" I heard Hattie cry. I turned and saw her at the door. Just want to let you guys know, she's got teleportation power so she can teleport anywhere she likes! But it has to be somewhere she's been to before, so she can't just go to Spain whenever she likes because she's never been there! Oh and she can only teleport by herself, so she can't go teleporting with me.
I ran towards her, punching Erasers on my way. When I finally got to the door, I grabbed our two back packs which was leaning on the wall and blew the Erasers a quick kiss, and we ran out of the door. We closed it super quick and put the air tight lock on so they won't escape any time soon. I heard them howl furiously inside when they realised what we had done. I smiled at Hattie and we made our way outside. We both jumped and snapped out wings open and flew into what was left of the crisp night air.
"Wow! That was close!" Hattie sighed heavily.
"You were brilliant!" I said and ruffled her hair in mid air (yeah, I know, it takes quite a lot of skills to do that!)
