Chapter 7: Memories Through Pain

Seven Years. Seven freaking, long, awful years. I've been blind for seven years now and it hits me hard. I lost the beauty of sight seven years ago when I was only seven-years-old!

Why am bringing this up now? Well lying crumpled and hurt in my cage exactly like I had seven years ago when my sight was stolen from me, just hit me.

"Iggy. Iggy. Just listen to us, we can help you. We can help you, return your sight!" Jeb whispered one last time through the bars of my cage.

"Leave. Now." I hissed through clenched teeth.

"Fine. More testing early tomorrow. Enjoy as much sleep as you can." Jeb growled; I heard his footsteps leave the room and I was once again alone.

They had used illusions of the flock on me.

They had seen how weak I truly was.

"At least the flock is safe." I mumbled quietly to myself hunched over hugging my knees. That was one good thing today. At least the flock really wasn't here. I sniffled rubbing a dirty, torn sleeve across my sightless eyes. This time I didn't try to stop the tears.

The memory of seven years ago still burned like an iron in the back of my mind.

~Flashback~

"Stupid whitecoats." I grumbled rubbing the burn marks on my arms where I had been shocked while running mazes. Damn, burns hurt worse than anything else. Figures.

"You can say that again." Fang growled leaning back in his cage.

"Stupid whitecoats." I repeated. Max and Fang grinned in my direction through their bars. It was good that I could still make them smile in moments like this in our nightmares.

The door slammed open; immediately Max, Fang and I tensed up. What horror was next? We just did test! Gazzy and Nudge shuddered looking so young and small.

"Come along with us Subject 3. You're wanted." A whitecoat stopped in front of my cage door. He glasses shimmered off the light as I starred into his eyes wishing I had a death stare right now.

He creaked it open looking at me with a bored expression. I folded my arms over my chest and shook my head.

"No."

"What?"

"I. Said. No." I repeated.

"Yes you will!" Now he was mad, just what I needed.

"NO!" I shouted.

"Oh you will." Laughed the whitecoat. Right then, a huge Eraser raked his claws into my ccage and grabbed chunks of my wings and hurled me out of my cage. I was thrown to the ground under his hairy foot.

"Iggy!" Max cried starring at me. I hissed glaring at the Eraser as he pulled me up dragging me by my collar out the door.

"Iggy! No! Leave him alone! Iggy!" Max and fang both yelled as I left them through the doors. I gritted my teeth determined not to look frightened or like a wimp for their satisfication.

Hoping I would comeback.

I was strapped (and thrown) down to a metal bed still covered in dried blood. The whitecoat left me alone there leaving for a long time. Eventually my arms and legs became numb with pain and whatever they injected in me.

"Hello." I turned my head sharply to see a girl in a cage next to me. She had long blond hair, and deep green eyes. She looked about my age.

"Um, hi." I greeted nodding my head trying to escape.

"What's your name? What are you doing here?" She asked softly .Her gaze lingered onto the wings on my back. She looked like she never got out much or seen anything out of this room or even anyone else.

It's sick what these people will do to children here. Little children!

"I'm Iggy. I have wings on my back. As for this, well I have no idea why I'm here." I tried to shrug but felt too much numbness. The evil tools glistened in the light, sending chills through my spine.

Two whitecoats came in and grinned wickedly at me. I glared back at them. An Eraser followed the two grabbing the girl's cage roughly before slamming her onto a cage roughly. She winced but managed a wicked glare back at them.

Before she left she whispered to me, "Good luck iggy." The she was gone, forever. I never saw or heard her again. And I never saw again.

The whitecoats began their work, along with my new piercing screams.

~End of Flashback~

I had never even gotten to ask what her name was, I never even heard her again. That memory still haunted me, but I forgot all about her until right now sitting all alone in my cage.

Being here right now showed just how little chance of success I was on escaping alone. I needed help. But from who? I was completely alone here.

"Hello? My head snapped up at the voice. Someone else was here…

Hmm, who is this someone else? What happens to iggy? This is only the beginning. So much more to come. Send me those reviews people on my story, they are loved! IGGY
