May opened her eyes. She was not in the same field that she remembered being in. Slowly she made her way to her feet. She realized that she was in the same endless field of grass as her first dream. She turned around, expecting to see the hatchery as she had before, and was surprised to see nothing but the same endless sea of grass, but there was something that caught her attention; something was moving in the grass. She approached the disturbance, and found a large, pill bug like creature that was the size of a small lap dog. Immediately she knew that it came from the Hatchery and that it was called a Larva. Though she did not understand the greater puropse of Larvae, she couldn't help but like the little buggers.

She smiled, squealed like a little girl, and picked up the Larvae. "Oh my gosh! It's so cute!" She said while holding the squirming Larva at arms length. She noticed another one next to her, held the first one close with one arm, and went to pick it up the new larva.

Before she reached it, it curled up into a ball, and covered itself in a thin film. At the same time, the Larva she was holding squirmed out of her hands and did the same as the other one. May quickly put down the Larvae and watched the two Larvae turn into eggs. Over the next few moments, the egg of the Larva she had been holding grew until it was waist high. At the same time, the other egg grew until it was as big as a Mack truck without a trailer. Though she felt like she had been watching for only a few moments, she knew that the eggs had been growing for at least twelve hours when the small egg hatched.

A Drone stood where the small egg had been. Once again, although May knew the creature's name, she did not understand it's purpose. The Drone was about four feet long, and had eight legs with webbing between them.

About six hours after the Drone hatched, the second larger egg hatched. From it came a massive creature. It was about two and a half times taller than May and almost as wide as it was tall. May knew the moment she saw the creature that it was an Overlord. She stood watching it as it floated high into the air. It had long tentacles that lazily extended downward five yards. May reached out to touch one of the tentacles...

May awoke to the muffled sound of constant footsteps and a light that made seeing difficult. Unable to decipher where she was, she waited for several moments for her eyes to adjust to the brightness of having her eyes open. Her head was turned to the right, and she saw that to her right was an I.V. leading into her arm, further to the right was her dark grey wing and a lamp stand.

The realization that her wings were out hit her like a ton of bricks, and sent her into a state of panic. How long had they been out? Who had seen her wings? How long had she been unconscious? Where were her parents? Where was she? What happened?

"Good to see you awake." A male voice said to her left.

"May snapped her head to the left and saw that there was a man in a suit seated in the chair against the wall. On either side of him were two men with military equipment on them, M-16, body armor, magazines, drop leg pistol holsters, the whole setup.

"Who are you?" She asked with the quiver of fear in her voice. She was not afraid of the men dressed to kill, but she was afraid of people finding out that she was a freak of nature.

"I am sorry to say that I can't actually tell you my name, but you may call me Matt." The man said. I work for the FBI."

"Okay...Matt, who are you?" May shook her head, realizing she had just asked that. "Why are you here?"

"I am here to ask you a few questions."

"Okay... About what?" May remembered her wings, and immediately felt like scolding herself.

"This." Matt said as he handed her a picture. May took the picture with uncertainty and gasped when she saw it. It was a picture of the Hatchery that she had seen in her dreams.

"My Hatchery." She whispered involuntarily.

"Say again?"

"Um...it's a Hatchery."

"A Hatchery." He said thoughtfully. "What does it...hatch?"

"It makes Larva."

"Where did it come from?"

"The Hatchery?"

"Yes."

"I don't know."

Matt sighed. "What else do you know about it?"

May took a moment to think. "Nothing really. I dreamt about it every night for two weeks. Then, I decided to go to the place that the dreams took place. Once I was there...I guess I passed out. Next thing I know, I am waking up here." She paused for a moment to think. "By the way, how did I get here?"

"That is not my story to tell. When exactly did you start having these dreams?" Matt asked.

"Matt" continued asking questions for what felt like an eternity, and by the time "Matt" was done, May's head was swimming. For the most part, the questions were about her dreams, her eating habits before they returned to normal, and other questions that didn't seem to apply to the situation at all.

"Okay, I think that will do for today." John said as he stood up.

As he was leaving with the two guards, May spoke up. "What do you think is happening?"

"Matt" stopped to turn around. "I have no idea, but both of our lives probably just got turned on their heads."

He began turning back toward the door. "Matt?"

"Yes?"

"Please don't tell anyone about this." May said gesturing to her dark grey and green wings.

"I'm sorry, but I'll have to report everything that happens to my superiors. However, all of this," Matt gestured to May and the picture of the Hatchery, "is very restricted. Don't worry about any of this making its way onto the news." With that, he turned and left with his guards.

Moments later, Lauren and Clark stormed into the room.

I start another semester of college next week. I hope it doesn't affect how often I can post chapters too much. Sorry about another short chapter, but they start getting longer as time goes on. In several chapters, they start to even out at around 2k words.

I am editing this as I post. Checking spelling, capitalization, plot holes, ect... When this story gets to chapter 18, I will have to start writing as I post, so things will really slow down then. I will try to keep up with the rate that I am going now, but it will take a lot more work to do so. Hopefully I will be able to make time.

Thanks for reading! If all goes well, I will have another chapter out by the 22nd. If all goes extremely well, I will have two!
