Pov: Zach
There is only one word in the whole dictionary that describes what I felt like when I woke up, shit. I felt weak, had one hell of a headache, and my back⦠just felt weird for some reason.
A few minutes later my eyes adjusted to the light and I realized that I was in a dog crate, one that looks like it was made to hold Cojo on crack and 'roids. I figure this because no matter how hard or how many times I kick the bars they don't even bend. The door was secured with a key card slot and had a food slot on it big enough for my arm to bend and reach the slot but that's it.
Later, I felt my strength returning and the headache tapering off but the feeling in my back was still there. I took off my shirt to find out what the hell was causing this feeling when my fingers ran over two indents. They started opened up, I felt bones cracking and my back spiting open, and out came 2 wings. By then I was scared shitless.
I tried convincing myself that it's not real and it's just a dream by plucking a feather, it hurt like bloody hell. After a minute of screaming (more in fear than in pain) I told myself "ok Zach, you were kidnapped of the street, probably by some crazy organization, they somehow caused you to grow wings and threw you into a cage, there's nothing you can do about it now"
An hour or so later, someone came towards the cage and drop a plate through the food slot. On it was pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon, and a slice of breakfast pizza. After eating all that goodness found a note under it saying "look under the plate"
So I did what it told me and found what looks like a small IPod with earplugs. I turned it on and there was only one thing on it. I played it and there was a voice that sounded like what the news does to someone who wants their identity hidden. It said "Hello Zachary Truman Seitz" I thought "Just Zach will do" "in case you a haven't noticed already you've been kidnapped and genetically altered" "thanks Captain Obvious" " You'll subjected to experiments to evaluate you physical strength and endurance" "shit, I suck at PE" "you must be able to finish these test to the best of your abilities or you'll be eliminated" "is this a new version of that Solitary show?" "Place this iPod back on the plate and the guard will take it away." I did what I was told.
An hour or so later some scientists came to my cage; to me a "scientist" is just an adult nerd. One of them went up to my cage to unlock it, He spoke in the most stereotypical German accent "we think you could use some exercise" Now I could just attack him and run, but even if I got past the 5 other ones I'd probably have the whole base after me, besides I wonder if they did anything else to me besides my wings.
Long story short, today was hell; there was the classic treadmill with electrodes and then a maze. They gave me only a 15 minute rest in between sets and gave me only water. They also must if took a good liter of blood out of me. As I went to sleep inside my cage I heard the faint noise of a chopper on the roof.
