Chapter Four
Maximum, what is different able Jessica compared to the rest of the class?
It was Algebra time, and the Voice was updating me on three main subjects-math, this academy, and now Jessica.
I peeked at her through the corner of my eye. She had her ear tilted upward, as if she was always listening. She was drawing-a lefty, the creative type- a picture in her sketchbook. I adjusted myself a bit, and saw that it was an eagle. Every few seconds, she would do a 360; she was paranoid.
Then I heard a barely audible crack, and her eyes closed. Her right hand reached behind her, and fell to a stop right below her shoulder blades. The spot where our wings are located.
Does she have wings? I asked the Voice, perplexed by what I just saw.
Yes, but she doesn't remember them, it answered.
What? How can she not remember her wings? Besides, would she feel them?
No. the scientist at a place called the Academy wanted to see if she could remember them, even if they took away her memories of them. she cannot see, or feel them. However, she has never lost her paranoia. You must be very, very careful around her, the Voice explained. They are going to terminate her in a matter of months because they think that it is now a hopeless cause. It is your mission to make her remember. Bu,t you cannot out right tell her, because she will not believe you, and you will loose her trust.
Okay but- I began
