Chapter One
Elephyn
I was told I was born fighting. Not sure if that's a good thing or not, but I live with it. Until I was about ten, I had never been outside. I lived in a dog crate- and not even a big one, mind you- with one other girl. Her. My sworn enemy. The birdgirl. Sometimes it seems like they thought she was perfect and there was nothing wrong with her. I was just something the dog brought in. Which isn't that far from the truth actually.
Being born in a lab and all, I really hate the smell of science. All the whitecoats say that I should be so proud! "I'm part of a new generation!" As if. I'm an experiment. That's all they see me as. Sometimes an experiment gone wrong. Very wrong.
The first day I saw the outside was when, as usual, they made me fight…..her. If there's one thing the two of us agree on, it's that these fights are stupid. Just for very different reasons.
"I'm a shapeshifter! I can turn into basically anything! I could turn into her if I wanted to!" I protested as I crouched down, about to begin.
"Well I have wings!" Davian argued. "I can literally fly away!"
Man, I hate her. I pounced on her like a cat. Not like a cat, actually. As a cat. Davian jumped in the air and thrust her pitch black wings out, forcing me to the ground.
"Oh, so that's the way you wanna play," I muttered as I turned human again. Well, almost human. I spread the pure white wings I had just gained and flew up to meet her.
We circled, trying to trick each other into making a stupid move. Which basically meant trash-talking.
"So, yesterday, I was watching TV and I saw an ad for a bird cage that fit 'all sizes'. I thought about getting it for you for your birthday," I taunted.
"Really?" she asked with fake excitement. "Well, I don't know about me, but you'll certainly fit."
Okay, I gotta admit, it's not like we took a class on insults or something, but I am really proud of this next one I did.
"Hey, Davian. How about you and I go get some lunch later? I can get this new burger they have, and you can have a nice worm sandwich. Would you like that? Oh, and you better make sure you bring some photo ID so they know you're a girl."
Her face turned red. Score! Or….maybe not. She dive-bombed and crashed into me, sending us both to the ground. Fortunately, we are not required to play nice. I grabbed her hair and pulled as hard as I could. She gritted her teeth and threw a punch at my face. I ducked, but let go of her hair in the process.
Meanwhile, the stupid whitecoats were standing off to the side with clipboards, watching us like we were some new Harry Potter movie. They even had popcorn! That gave me a thought. "Okay, T!" I told Davian. She froze, her arm still pulled back.
Looking around to make sure the whitecoats weren't watching, I whispered something to Davian. She grudgingly agreed. We exchanged one last glance, nodded, and dived. At the last second, we grabbed the popcorn and flew up, up, up, CRASH!
I always forget about the dome. Luckily, I was able to savor my popcorn, but I had a splitting headache, which was a huge disadvantage. I lost my concentration and my wings disappeared, sending me to the ground again.
Davian laughed at me from above. She never forgets about the dome. Never. But shapeshifting wasn't my only power. I was a very good acrobat, and there were lots and lots of poles. Before I could grab onto one, however, the dome exploded.
A/N: So, what'd you think? Review please!
