Alexandria's POV:

We wound through the vent until we found the three other avians' rooms. Eventually Shayne and I found them. They were all stretched on the one extensive that stretched out for about a mile. Let me tell you, it gets pretty hot up here with all the metal and being pressed up into such a little confined space.

The first hybrid we found was eleven. She had wavy dirty blonde hair that reached the mid of her back. Her eyes were a shade of a strange lavender. She had a thin face with thin cheekbones. She said her name was Star. Star's skin was very pale as if she had never seen broad daylight.

I told her the same as I had told Shayne.

"I'll come but can we please, get my little brother next? I haven't seen him for a few years. I have no idea what has happened to him since when we first brought here," Star said worriedly pausing to catch her breath.

"Okay, we'll get your brother next and then we'll get the other one like us," I said agreeing since I had never had a brother or sister for that matter. I would guess you would want to see them as soon as you could if you hadn't seen them for a few years, but then who I am to say.

We went down the vent about twenty more long rooms. Star peered down the air duct and concluded that it was her little brother. Shayne loosely let down the covering over the bottom of the vent. Star then went down and told her little eight year old brother what we were doing. He was all but delighted to come with us, to get out of the hell whole, the whitecoats call a room.

Star said his name was Crunch. Crunch had stick straight medium brown hair. He had the same skin color as Star and the same face shape but other than that they looked nothing alike. He had deep ocean blue eyes widened with the joy of the thought of freedom or escaping from this place.

Then we went to find the twelve year old. About a million rooms later on, we found him sitting on his bed staring up at the ceiling. I kicked the covering of the vent off and slid down to talk to him. The others followed suit. He looked startled but happy at the aspect of seeing others like him.

I told him what we were doing and he seemed fine enough with the idea to come along. He said his name was Drake but said nothing else. When we had mentioned the idea of leaving he had only nodded.

Drake had straight black hair that fell down to the end of his neck. It looked like I wasn't the only one of us that the whitecoats hadn't given a haircut in a while. His eyes, what you could see of them, were a warm, dark caramel color. His skin was that of a newly fallen snow, as where the rest of ours.

I guess since I'm describing the others, I may as well describe myself. Or have I? No, I guess I haven't. Anyway, I have midnight black unruly, curly hair; that is if you could call it that. As did the others I had very pale skin, you could see my blood pulsing in my veins if you got about five feet away from me. The only thing that I did like about my appearance was my eyes, which were a sapphire baby blue.

Back to the present, I was in front of the others with them following close behind to a route I knew well from previous times, to escape. I took a right up the vent and then left until I started to feel a rise. Sure enough, the vent was steadily sloping up to the very top. When we reached the end of the vent, there was a colossal thick metal thing over it. Last time, I had escaped that had not been there or any evidence it would be there. The whitecoats have done a lot in the past few weeks then.

Hmmm. It looked like I wouldn't be able to move it even with my strength. Now, this was going to be tough to get out of. Then I started to hear faint yells down below and then the unmistakable claws of erasers tearing up the sides of a metal vent. And, I thought it was going to be tough to get out of before. What to do?

Author Note: I won't be able to update for about a week because of a school field trip for several days and then I'm going up to Virginia for a few days to visit family. I'll take a notebook to write in and then update with two new chapters when I get back or at least I'll try. Sorry, for the long break in updating. I was really busy with thanksgiving and then my grandmother going back in the hospital. Reviews would be nice while I'm gone but you don't have to do if you don't want. See ya'll in about a week.
