Chapter 2:
The labs smelled deeply of fresh blood. The scent seemed to rot in the air and just stay there. The horrid smell seemed even worse when in the lab piano music played loudly. It was so calming it didn't match the scent of the blood.
The rookie assistant was shivering at how creepy this whole scenario was. His boss just kept walking smoothly along as if it were nothing. She was just cold like that.
"Dr. Viner, where are we going?" The rookie asked. Dr. Viner didn't even bother to turn around.
"Well Thomas, you're finally going to get to see our project we've worked so hard on." She answered.
"Project? I thought we could no longer hold projects after the Raid last summer." Rookie Thomas asked.
"It is true that after the Raid, nothing for the School will be the same again," She stopped suddenly. "but then again, we're not part of the School," She looked at him with glaring eyes. "are we?" She turned and contained walking.
Thomas knew the School was shut down, but he also thought ITEX was too. As if reading his mind, Dr. Viner answered his unspoken question.
"It's true that we are still part of ITEX, but we go by a different name. Here we are the Society. Gifted scientists with the powers of the world." They came up to a door and Dr. Viner put her hand on a hand pad. It scanned her hand then slid the door open. They walked downwards until they reached another set of sliding doors. Dr. Viner stopped and looked at Thomas.
"Are you ready Thomas?" She asked. Thomas couldn't say a word so he simply nodded yes. She turned back and pushed a button.
Inside was a long hall. One side of cages, mostly empty, the other full of cylinder tubes with forms inside. Thomas stared in amazement.
"Do you know what these are Thomas?" Thomas stared at Dr. Viner but shook his head no. She sighed as if disappointed.
"They're Extraterrestrials." Thomas stared in shock. Dr. Viner stared walking. "They landed on this planet about 15 years ago. Now most of them are still in a coma, but some are good and kicking.
"We call them Harpies. They're natural born hunters like a cat, plus hawk in a humanoid form." Thomas stared at the cylinders. All he could see was a large shape that looked like an egg covered in feathers.
"They're all female with long claws sharper then knives and a large pair of wings-
"Ah, excuse me Dr. Viner, but what's their purpose? What did they come here for?" Thomas asked. Dr. Viner was silent, then insend of explaining, she walked towards one of the cages. In the corner sat a girl who looked 18.
"Thorn?" The girl looked up. "Thomas here would like to ask you something." Dr. Viner pushed Thomas towards the cage.
"A..ah…ah…I…um, hear you have wings," It wasn't a question but Thorn stood up as if she didn't want too. Suddenly she out stretched a pair of giant, red wings that went beyond the cage. Thorn stared at Thomas in displeasure.
"You human disgust me." She said as though she had only learned English a little while ago. She spat at where Thomas stood but he stepped back in time. Thomas looked at Dr. Viner but she only looked towards Thorn.
"And what is your purpose on Earth?" She asked. Thorn hissed loudly.
"Ji'ko rikA." Thorn said. She growled. "To hunt."
"To hunt what?" She pushed. Thorn stared as if she didn't want to answer but had to anyways.
"To hunt bird kids." Thorn growled.
Nudge: Boy, that Thorn person doesn't sound very nice.
Angel: I bet all she needs is a nice big hug!
Max: Uhh...I'm not going to hug a natural born hunter with nails sharper then knives.
Angel: :|
Me: Okay then...*turns to reader* Want to know who Thorn really is? Keep reading to find out more! until next time...
