Chapter 8

Caged

I have heard of the School before, although i've never truly been in there. I was created in a different lab and taken out of it right away. The school is worse than anything i could have possibly imagined. I had always know it was bad of course, but I never knew the full extent of it. I wondered why the stars lead me here. I mean if they wanted to they could have kept me from being captured. Maybe it was punishment. Maybe I failed so they let them capture me. No. I did all I could and the stars knew that. There must be some other reason I was captured. I was going to have to do a lot to catch up in school. They could have at least let me finish the term! I shifted around in my dog crate trying to get in a comfortable position. Wincing as a sharp pain shot through her wings. A few days ago while she was running the maze she had tripped smashing her wings beneath her. She had snapped several bones but the whitecoats did not seem to care. When she had fell all they did was force her to get back up and finish the maze. My wings are killing me! I haven't seen Nightmare since the first day after we were both captured and were in the truck. But members of the flock keep popping up. I was pretty sure Shadow, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and Nova were the only ones they were looking for now. Apparently I had a number to: 35827. It was weird to be called that, but I'm sure the others are used to it by now. I surveyed my surroundings, this was a new cage. They had moved me several times before. The cages around me were for the most part empty. But there was a few at the end of the row that held several grotesque humanoids. Failed experiments. I knew I should feel bad for them, but every time she looked at them I wanted to puke out the little food I had. I had been in here for about a week and a half according to the random calendars I saw. The whitecoats were trying to do something to me but I did not know what. I just hope it's not to bad.
