Recap:
We all watched her disappear into the distance, and then we all went our own ways.
I was halfway back to the clinic when I blacked out.

My consciousness retuned when I heard some yelling, and a motor running. It took me longer then it should've to open my eyes, and realize that the yelling had something to do with a sack that was sitting next to someone, no, something sitting near the opening to a chopper. It was pointing a gun at something. Then it stood up, and dumped the contents of the sack on the floor. A little blonde girl came tumbling out. Now, if this wasn't terrifying enough, the fact that she had wings and was obviously stronger then a normal human made me turn my head. That little movement made me realize how much pain I was in. I squeezed my eyes shut, then opened them again, to down at myself. I was lying on the floor, my wrists and ankles bound with tight rope. At the other end of the plane, was my bag. I'm not sure why they kept that, but there it was. Suddenly, I felt a pinch on my arm, and my vision got blurry. I fought to focus as I looked up, straight into a very dog-like face. The dogface had a syringe in his hand, and I knew that he just injected me with something. As I fought for consciousness, I watched a few other Dogfaces wrestling the girl into a cage at the back of the chopper. The Dogface that injected me stayed close, in case I needed something more. I kept fighting, but I finally had to give into the darkness that threatened me.

I woke up for the third time in twenty-four hours. I had to fight to clear my mind that was probably still foggy from whatever the stupid Dogface injected me with. After a few tries, I finally managed to get whatever was above me in focus. A small white spot on a big grey surface. I reached up to try to touch it, and realized that the thing that I was looking at was way closer then it seemed. I closed my eyes to steady myself, and then sat up as best I could in the small space. I opened my eyes, and what I saw almost made me lay down again. I was in a cage surrounded by many others, others filled with things that shouldn't exist. I ran my hand through my hair, messed it up, then shook my head to fix it. I looked around again. To my left was nothing but mistakes, obvious failures. To my right, was the girl in the chopper. She looked at me and I could feel her presence in my head. I frowned, and blinked a couple of times, trying to break the link, but it didn't work.
"What the hell?" I thought. "Zangetsu? You there? What the hell is this girl doing?"
"I think that she can read minds," Zangetsu's slightly fogged voice replied, obviously not sure.
The startled look on the girls face told me all I needed to know. I twisted around in the cage the best I could manage, and looked at her.
"Hey, where the hell are we?" I asked her.
"The School," came the hesitant reply.
"The what?"
"The School. It's a lab dedicated to playing god."
"Great. There's enough of those bastards in the world," I muttered as a door swung open, announcing the entrance of something. A Dogface rolled a cage into the room, then left. "What is that?"
"An experiment. It's gonna die soon, if it's not dead already," the girl replied.
"Okay then. That's, not disturbing at all," I said, shivering.
There was a pause when another Dogface came in the room, and looked around carefully. His eyes locked on the girl, and my heart skipped a beat. Then he looked away, right at me. I looked at the girl, and she looked back at me, and it almost seemed like she was giving me luck. I blinked gratefully, and waited for whatever was going to happen. The Dogface came up to me, and without a word, unlocked the cage, and pulled me out. I didn't struggle too much, that stupid drug hadn't worn off completely yet. Then, as it was dragging me into a different room, it injected me again, and I passed out. Again.

So! Apparently my favorite word (in this chapter) is injected. I must've used it three to four times.
