Chapter Six: Where did Olivia go?
Moonrise got his first taste of life at the School the next day. The scientists were actually cutting us a break, for once, and let us out of our cages for a day. I knew that our escape day was coming, sooner than I thought. Moonrise entered the room, very tired and covered in bruises. "What'd they make you do?" I asked him sitting on top of my cage. "Made me run through a maze," he replied, sitting on the floor rubbing his feet. I climbed off my cage and sat next to him. "Yeah, the first time they made me run the Maze of Endless Pain, I felt as if my feet were going to fall off." I was cut off by Cheyenne, who was yelling at me from across the room. "Katie! Come here! I have to ask you something!" Oh geez. Knowing Cheyenne, this was either going to be a very stupid question or something I had told her a million times. I got up and walked over to her, staring into her bi-colored eyes. She has a blue eye and a brown eye, yes, I know that's weird. I think it's in her bird DNA or something.
"Do you know what happened to Olivia?" she asked. Wow. For once, I didn't have an answer. Olivia was one of us, a bird-kid. She had come from around where Cheyenne had come from, but that's all we knew about her. It was about two years ago that she disappeared. One day the whitecoats came for her and she never came back. We assumed she was dead. I pondered on what I would tell Cheyenne. "You were there the day that the scientists came for her. She hasn't come back and I don't think she will," I answered putting a hand on her shoulder. Cheyenne and Olivia were close, almost like sisters. When Olivia disappeared, Cheyenne didn't talk for almost a week. Yet again, I had that strange feeling that this too was going to come back to haunt me.
Don't ask me why these chapters are so very short. I couldn't tell you even if you asked! please review!
