Chapter One: Broken
7:45 am
Strolling through the park I smiled happily holding my guardian's hand. "Arigato Okaa-san." I told her, she ruffled my hair causing me to giggle. It's nice, the weather was slightly cold but I had my coat on.
"Sweetie?" I looked up at her. "Okaa-san has to go for now okay? I'll be back. Sit down on that green bench and wait for me there okay? If you see anyone, or anything weird, I want you to run to the police station. It's the blue building okay?" I nodded.
"Okaa-san? Can I go with you?" I asked sweetly.
She shook her head. "Okaa-san really needs you to stay okay? It's dangerous to go to where I am going, please sit down."
Feeling like nothing could be done to change her mind, I sat on the green chair thingy. She kissed my forehead and left me. "I'll be back in an hour!"
I swung my legs back and forth and tossed some pebbles and caught them again. Little birds came by and perched on my shoulder. I giggled when they sat in my hair, "That tickles birdie!" I laughed when it jumped off of my head onto my shoulder and it gently nudged it's beak me.
So I opened my palm and grabbed a little cracker, crumbled it up and let the bird jump into my open hand. Like I had expected it did.
But roughly 15 minutes later, me being my six year-old self, ran away. Just like Okaa-san said. If anything weird happened run. I saw two really big guys grinning, and they didn't look kind. They went to me. Six year old girl... and two adult men no. But just as I reached the street they caught my coat's hood and that knocked the wind right out of me.
I felt a warm, thing wrap around me. Like my backpack, but really big! I was scared to death, I knew it the second this happened. I was being kidnapped.
When they let me out, I was in a cage. Atleast I could sit down on solid... material. "W-where am I?!" I screamed scared.
A man with white hair, glasses and a lab coat, like my guardian did at her work at the hospital, he looked really happy but it wasn't like the two that got me. He held out his hand and opened the cage. Then he took my hand cause he looked nicer I let him. We went to a room with nice red carpeting like the rug in my room. On the walls were cabinets with really nice plates and cups.
He took a few plates and cups out, also some forks and really tiny spoons. He placed them in front of me and put food on them.
"Don't be scared." He said calmly pouring brown stuff in the cups. "Do you like tea? Would you like hot chocolate and coffee cake?"
"Cough? E?" I questioned. "A sick E cake? That's sounds disgusting." I giggled and held the tiny spoon. "Do you eat with this tiny thing? It's really small!"
He smiled at me. "It's called a tea spoon, you mix the drink with it."
I smiled and took the fork. "Why do you use a fork for it then?"
He laughed, "Silly, you remind me of another girl. The fork is for the cake."
"That makes a lot of sense." I took a mouthful of the cough E. "This sick cake tastes good."
The man smiled. "Oh, my name is Jeb Batchelder and you are?"
"I don't know... I just like my mom, and she likes it when I call her Okaa-san too!"
"Hmm, okay, listen. This place is very dangerous, I want to help you. Just listen to them and I'll bring you out everyone once and a while like now okay?"
I nodded. "This place is really nice with people like you!" I said innocently not knowing how dangerous... This place truly is...
My first day in hell...
I fell. "Get up." The wolf creature snarled. "I can't believe they ordered me to watch and not kill you." The creature scowled at the end.
I just got back up, bowed quickly, "gomen'nasai." and returned walking. We went back to a gray room with a tread mill. I ran up to a mile per hour. Give me a break I'm tired and six freaking years old!
The next room was a table. I got extremely scared, the people looked like my guardian, but really bad. I sat down on the table and kicked my legs like yesterday. But they pushed me down!
They injected a needle into my arm, my eyes dilated. I screamed painfully, I felt like a fire had frozen within me melting then freezing constantly. It was unbearable, my panting got more harder and defined. After the pain subsided my back felt... Different, a second and third injection to my arm and back. The pain felt so bad, I was scared I would die and never see her again.
So I blacked out, I couldn't bear seeing the world, I couldn't bear the pain, and I certainly couldn't bear anything. Almost like, I was created, for a purpose.
My second day...
I woke up in a strange room with wires pocking me, my arm, my legs, my chest. I was exposed and frail. They smirked as the feeling entered again, burning and freezing combined to create a feeling so unreal.
"Listen here, that specimen is very rare to actually be able to take up these chemicals normally toxic and deadly to any other creature. Don't you dare kill her." They scolded the man like wolf. The beast agreed with a grunt. "Good, take her to her cage when she is ready, not when she wakes up got that?" Another grunt to agree.
After a while I stood up and felt my back. My eyes widened in shock as I pulled out a feather. "hane?" I felt four limbs on my back and I walked to a cabinet. "T-tsubasa?" Feathers and wings?! WHAT?! I felt something soft slowly move behind my legs. I turned around and saw, a black and white tail. "I-impossible."
"You speak pigeon English don't you?" The man that talked to me before all this hell started, Jeb.
I nodded. "I told you, my mom likes it when I talk in Japanese so she taught me words cause I like going outside." I said in basic English.
"Well okay then, if your ready to go talk to this guy," He jerked his thumb to the wolf man. "He won't harm you or else something bad will happen to him."
I nodded again. "I'll go now." He grabbed me by my wrist and forced me to walk to a cage. Weird, it was slightly larger than normal. "This is bigger."
"Your lucky your rare so they're letting you have better stuff than most experiments we test." He growled before locking the cage with me in it.
My mind railed when I closed my eyes. My tail, the wings, it's not human, it's not natural. I wish I had a mirror I feel so much taller strangely I mean I am like 2 foot 8! but I feel like I'm almost 4 foot 3 strange isn't it?
Well they called me out again, what test this time?
My third day
I've figured and decided something, there was a boy next to my cage today, he said he was gonna die.
"Why would you die silly?" I laughed.
He faced me, his cage was opposite me. "You just don't get it! This place? It's hell! I've been here for months and I'm gonna die. These stupid claws, they told me yesterday that if I made no progress, they won't save me."
"Save you from what?"
"Expiration. An expiration date. Just like when food goes bad, five, six numbers appear on your neck, mine is today. They said they could help me, but I failed the dumb test! I couldn't climb before I was hit by an Eraser, that's what we call the wolfmen." Good to know! "Well, I hope you live longer. By the way what are you?"
"Beats me, I have two pairs of wings, kind of like a dove and a bats with a cat tail. I guess you could call me, either an Angelic Demon cat or a Demonic Angel cat." I smiled warmly, if he's gonna die might as well show I am not afraid, after all he just taught me how to live. The pain of fire and ice can finally stop.
"Mind if I name you then? I know I won't live to have a child of my own, and you said you don't have a name, I heard you earlier this week. I'm in the room next to you actually, they moved me here for whatever reason." I nodded. "Thanks, I may be only a year older or so from you judging by your size I'd say six so I'd be seven anyways. How does the name Raven Kotori sound?"
"Kotori?! I love it!" I beamed happiness. "Kotori in Japanese means Bird of luck!"
He smiled before a loud clash went our way. Erasers, "Alright," The main one grunted. "You," He pointed to the boy. "Time for you to die." He picked up the cage and threw it at the two erasers. "And you." He pointed to me and grinned, "Your gonna watch."
My eyes widened in shock. Death in front of my eyes? I nodded though I figured out my way to live, the way to survive and I had to stick with it. Accept fate.
This is my story, this is the life in School, but since I've chosen this path, I have one question. Do you think, anyone can change me back to me?
A/N: Oh my gosh is this an Authors Note, at the bottom!? Not in the middle or the start?! Yes! Yes it is! Oh my gosh finally I can read the story and get on with it and if it's good enough I'll read the A/N when I decide to!
This is my second Maximum Ride fanfiction, and I HAVE to say, it's much better even though it's only 1000 words. I am gonna ask though cause it's nearly summer and I can afford to say this.
What do you expect content wise. Longer chapters? Every other week updates (I have lots of stories to update other than this)? Or even some kind of song to go with the chapter (Songs make things more exaggerated sad things become unbelievably sad when a song accompanies it)
Thanks for reading, it's a really short chapter but not a short story.
Oh and Review!
Flock included eventually!
