Winging It
Chapter two:
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTES
Caden POV:
Alyssa and I hid in the air duct in the school. How we got in didn't matter, but how we were going to get out was. We were slowly crawling through the air ducts trying to be quiet but quick. Those two combinations don't exactly go well together, especially when you're crawling on your stomach because you're too big for the thing anyway.
"Caden" Alyssa hissed "Are we almost there yet? I feel like an overheated bug about to be squashed!" she complained. I rolled my eyes.
"One; that didn't even make sense, and two; it's not that hot in here" okay, so maybe it was "And three; I don't know" I finished. She made a growl like sound in the back of her throat. I stopped and looked over my shoulder with an amused expression on my face. Or as much as I could turn my head in a freakin' air duct.
"Did you just… growl?" I asked her amused. She glared at me.
"Yes, yes I did" She said. I laughed.
"Shut up and move" She growled. I laughed and kept moving. After what seemed like forever – but in reality was only like two minutes- I came to an abrupt stop. I felt Alyssa's head bump into my butt.
"God Caden, give me a warning the next time you're going to stop so I don't bump in to your ass." Alyssa said.
"You know you love my ass" I said jokingly to Lyssa smirking.
"Why did you stop?" she asked me changing the subject. I chuckled quietly to myself before answering her.
"We're here" I said before taking off the vent and carefully dropping down silently into a room. Alyssa followed silently behind me and we looked around the room. It was one of the modern day 'rooms' (which were really more cell like than anything else) that they were now using to keep experiments in. There were three sets of bunk beds pushed against each wall of the room, making the total number of bunk beds twelve. There were twenty four experiments in this room, and we were going to free them all. When we dropped from the ceiling they all looked as us in shock. A boy who looked fourteen and had black hair and eyes stepped forward and narrowed his eyes at us.
"Who are you?" He asked. I held up my hands in an 'I come in peace' way.
"I'm Caden, that's Alyssa. We're busting you guys out of here." I told him and the rest of the experiments. A little girl came broke away from the group and clung onto the raven haired boys arm and looked up at us with yellow cat eyes. She had bright orange hair with a single black streak in her hair, and on her head were a set of orange and black striped cat ears, with a matching tail poking out from behind.
"How are you going to do that?" She asked. I smiled and pointed up at the ventilation system to where we came from.
"From up there" I said then I switched into my leader mode.
"Ok everyone, while we are up there we need to silent and we need to be fast. Alyssa will go first and lead the way. Younger kids first followed by older ones, then me. Ok let's do this" I said finishing with a clap of my hands. We moved one of the bunk beds so we could have easier access to the vent then began hoisting kids up. You'd think by now the school would boost up their security or something with how many times we've broken in and out of these places. I mean vents, really? You'd think they'd have some secret security cameras in there or something. The little tiger girl went up first followed by the other mutants. The raven haired kid was last then me. Before I went up I moved the bunk bed back to its original place before jumping from it into the air duct. I closed where we came in and out from and began following everyone else out. By the time we were all outside we could hear the sound of alarms signaling the escape of the group of mutants we just helped. I made my way over to Alyssa only seeing about four, five mutants out of the twenty-four left. I looked at Lyssa questioningly.
"Most of them decided to try and fend for themselves." She answered shrugging. I nodded slowly before looking at the remaining kids.
"What about you guys" I asked the remaining few. There were two girls who looked like twins, a teenage boy with grass green eyes and curly grey hair with long sideburns. He looked kind of freaked out as he stood there, hopping from one foot to another. Then there was the raven haired kid, and the little cat girl. The twins looked at each other than sprinted off into the woods together and disappeared.
"Ok that settles that" I said. I looked at the other three.
"I'm going to go on my own" The grey haired kid said. "Thank you for breaking me out of that place" and with that he ran off into the woods also.
"I'm with Raven" The little girl said pointing at the black haired kid. So his name was Raven? That suited him. I looked over at Raven.
"So are you staying with us?" I asked him, a little excited. All of the experiments we have rescued decided to go their separate ways, or the rare ones who wanted to stay with us were either captured the day after we rescued them, died, or decided they didn't want to be in a flock, or group or whatever. Raven nodded slowly.
"Yea we'll stay with you two" He decided.
"Ok, now that we have that all figured out let's get out of here" Alyssa said. I nodded and unfurled my wings, Lyssa doing the same. I saw Raven whip out wings too. They were black, like a well, like a raven. I guess his name was chosen wisely. Alyssa scooped up the little girl (who I learned is named Clio) and we took off, getting as far away from the school as we could.
DEATH VALLEY, CALIFORNIA
Alice POV:
When they brought Mimi back she was curled up into a ball. And then they had the nerve to tell me I was next. So naturally I didn't go without a fight.
"Stupid scientists, thinking they could treat us like a piece of used tissue" I mumbled under my breathe, as a terminator dragged me into a room surrounded by clear plastic walls. A whitecoat I recognized as Dr. Olivia Glenir, one of the most evil people in the world, stood by the door with a clipboard in her hand. Next to her was… hey! It's my best friend Dr. Simmons, aka Dr. Spaz! How nice it is to see him again. If you couldn't tell before, that was sarcasm my dear friends. The terminator dropped me off in the middle of the room, and when I say drop me, I mean he actually dropped me. Heartless much? I pushed my blonde and brown streaked hair out of my silver eyes.
"Hello experiment 2615 or what's the name you came up for yourself? Alice?" Dr. Glenir said looking at me with cold calculating eyes. I just glared at her. She sighed like she was my mother and I was refusing to tell her where I was last night. She jotted something down on her clipboard before motioning to doctor Spaz to follow her. He did as she commanded and they went into a small room that was attached to the one I was in. The clear wall inside of the room gave those in that room to peer into the room I was already in.
"Ok Alice, let's see how strong you are" Dr. Glenir said into the intercom in the room. She pressed a button and a buzzing noise sounded opening a trap door in the north wall in the room. A terminator stepped out in all its terminator glory. I crouched on the floor in a position that would allow me to spring up and defend myself. Then, I started to change. I could feel my long blonde hair shortening and hair sprouting all over my body. My muscled shifted, something that was once painful, but I was getting used to it now. I felt my ears poke out from my head and my nose change from one of a human to a nose of a cat. When I was finished with my transformation I was a white tiger… well a blonde tiger with brown stripes and silver eyes. I could feel my tail swinging behind me.
At first when the scientists were deciding what DNA to put in me they were going to give me the ability to shift into any animal, but they decided that I would be to powerful and limited it to one; A white tiger.
The terminator and I circled each other before he pounced. I dodged and countered with an attack of my own sinking my teeth into its side. He let out a cry of pain before trying to swat me away. After a couple of tries he finally succeeded with me taking a chunk of his side with me as I skidded on the floor. I spit out the terminator chunk with disgust. Eww terminator germs. We kept fighting until I won, then they sent another after me, and another, and another. After a while I lost and passed out and returned to my human form only to wake up to be carried by a Terminator back to my cell. I almost immediately passed out again once I reached my bunk. I was awake enough to see Mimi and Alex hurry over to me worriedly. And also awake enough to see we had a new addition to our merry band of mutant cell mates. The boy looked to be about sixteen though he was really tall. He had bright red hair pulled into a ponytail that reached his shoulders and bangs on either side of his face going down to his chin. He has forest green eyes and I could see he had a small silver hoop on each ear. He was pretty handsome.
"Who the hell are you?" I growled at him. He gave me a charming smile
"I, my dear, am Klause, the new addition to this… wonderful home of yours." He said smirking. Oh dear, this was going to be interesting.
SAME PLACE
Klause POV:
So today I found out that I'm not smart...at all. Ok, maybe a little but my actions today speak otherwise. Ok so who marches into battle without a foolproof plan of battle strategy and all the worst case scenarios? I do that's who and it got me captured.
But I'm Klause, so I get captured in style. So I thought it would be smart to break a few windows, free a few mutants and get my ass outta there. That was the plan and as I found out not the best plan out there. So I broke a window which seemed to be a room where I could get to the door I would need to get to the experiments but it turned out it was the window that house the terminators. Ok people; say it with me I'm a freaking idiot. Yes I figured that out.
So after me pulling out some badass ninja moves, or maybe not so badass now that I think about it… The terminators dragged me through the hallway to a cell like room, with a keycard combination and everything. They dumped me in and told me to stay put. I scoffed, like I'd ever listen to them. I looked around the room and saw that it was all white. Everything from the walls to the beds, to the floor was white.
There were two girls in there already. They both looked Hispanic, one girl with light tan skin, curly brown hair and dark brown eyes. The other with choppy black layered hair, dark brown eyes and tan skin. They both looked to be around 15. They looked at me and crossed their arms at the same time. I wonder if they are twins…
"Who are you?" The curly haired brunette asked me. I smirked and crossed my arms to, mimicking their position.
"Who are you?" I asked them.
"I'm Mimi, and that's Alex" The brunette answered. I nodded
"Now who are you?" The girl Alex asked.
"Klause" I answered. I sat down on one of the abandoned bunks. The two girls just stared at me unsure of what to say or do. While I was sitting there I took my time to study the two girls… or check them out whichever definition was fine with me. Mimi was wearing bright blue shorts, a gray/black striped tank top and a tattered grey jacket that she held in her arms, she had a slender and petite figure. I could see that she had wings and they were cream colored with brown streaks and speckles through it. Alex was wearing a black t-shirt, black jeans, and gray combat boots. She had black and brown speckled wings poking from her back.
"What are you doing?" Alex asked glaring at me.
"What does it look like I'm doing?" I asked smirking and winking at her. Her glare darkened and my smirk grew. Mimi opened her mouth to say something when the door to the cell opened. I jumped off the bed only to see terminators bring someone in. It was a girl with blonde hair and natural brown highlights. She was wearing a black leather jacket with black boots and holed\frayed jeans. She looked beat up and half dragged herself to her bed before plopping down. Mimi and Alex rushed to her side and gazed down at her worriedly. I lazily made my way by their side. The girl opened her eyes and I was surprised to see them to be a strange silver color.
""Who the hell are you?" she growled at me. I gave her a charming smile
"I, my dear, am Klause, the new addition to this… wonderful home of yours." I said smirking. Her eyes narrowed. This was going to be fun.
COLORADO MOUNTAINS
Aero POV:
I looked at the two kids in front of me. The girl Skyler was tall and had cool purple eyes. She had short messy brown hair with bright red tips. The boy Radon had choppy gray hair down to his shoulders, light white fuzz around his face and wings with white speckles in the center. He was wearing green cargo pants with a black t-shirt. They were both dirty and hungry. We took them back into the house and fed them. We stood around the kitchen watching them cautiously as they devoured the food we provided.
"So how old are you two?" I asked them. Skyler paused from her meal to look up at me.
"I'm 12 and Radon here is 8" She answered. I nodded.
"How did you guys escape?" Joey asked next. They launched into a story explaining how they were exercising in the school field and one of the whitecoats stupidly- but smart for them- left the gate opened that led into the parking lot and Skyler and Radon, along with all the other experiments with them at the time, escaped and these two happened to make their way here.
After their tale they asked if they could take a nap. I agreed and let them crash on the couch. The rest of my flock went to go and do their own thing. Shanay-nay convinced Jane to let her do her hair. Jane looked at me with scared brown eyes, as she fingered her long wavy brown hair as Shanay-nay led her into the bathroom. Shanay-nay slapped Jane's hand away from her hair.
"Stop worrying girly, I'm gonna make you look beautiful…well prettier than you already are" She said winking at her. Then as an extra note she said "We are gonna make Joey's knees weak just looking at you" She smirked at Jane's horrified face and Joey un-amused one.
"It's going to take a lot more than getting her hair done to get my attention!" Joey called out to her. I hit him in the gut. "Kidding" he wheezed. I rolled my eyes and leaned against the doorway to the living room watching the two younger kids sleep.
"Being a stalker now huh?" A deep voice said behind me. I jumped and turned around only to have a face full of t-shirt. Joey's red t-shirt to be exact.
"geez Aero, if you wanted to be this up close and personal to my muscled chest, all you had to do was ask" Joey said with a cocky smile. Annoying cocky bastard. I grumbled this aloud.
"You know you love me" he chuckled putting his red lips close to my ear. I rolled my eyes but I would have to be lying if I said He wasn't attractive. With brown hair just above his eyes, lime green eyes, pale skin with red lips, tall and muscular and a very cute smile, he wasn't very hard to look at, at all, but I would never admit that out loud. Especially to him.
"Who are you trying to convince Joey? Me or yourself?" I asked him sticking my tongue out at him. He just chuckled before peeling a banana and taking a bite out of it.
"Childish much?" He asked, and then He then picked up a strand of my blonde hair.
"Is this natural?" He asked me pointing to the natural brown highlights. I rolled my aqua blue eyes.
"No its not, I took mud and streaked it in my hair making them highlights in my hair" I said sarcastically. He laughed.
"God Aero, I'm just messing with you" He said messing up my hair with his hand. I slapped his hand away.
"You're annoying" I grumbled. He just flashed me a bright smile, and then it slowly faded.
"So what are we going to do with Thing 1 and Thing 2 over there?" He asked motioning to Skyler and Radon with his head. I sighed and shrugged.
"I don't know" I admitted. "I'm thinking of letting them stay with us for a while, maybe seeing if we can get any information out of them. Plus Radon only eight and Skyler's twelve. I'd feel guilty leaving them on their own." Joey nodded.
"Looks like our little flock of four now gained two more mouths to feed" Joey quipped.
"Yup" I said sighing, running a hand through my hair.
"How much longer till' we leave?" He asked quietly.
"Tomorrow" I answered. "It'll be best to leave tomorrow." He frowned and nodded, finishing his banana, he went to the kitchen before heading outside.
"I'm going flying for a bit" He said before walking out. I closed my eyes, resting my head against the doorway when I heard a little shriek come from the bathroom.
"I swear to God Shanay-nay, if you cut anymore hair off I will shave all of yours off in the middle of the night!" I heard Jane yell. I rolled my eyes. Oh Boy.
