I awoke to a burning pain in my back. It's been about 2 weeks since the lumps had grown on my back. I howled bloody murder as felt the skin slowly rip open, warm blood and a little bit of goo dripping slowly down my back. I felt something else coming out, something that felt kinda like a bird, but wet and gooey, I felt the tears surge down my face, pooling on the floor of my cage as I sat hunched on my hands and knees. Blood slowly pools down my back and onto my legs.
Once the pain went away, i stayed on my hands and knees, my chin pressed to my chest, panting heavily, gasping for breath. After a while, my arms gave way and i curled into a ball, not caring about the blood and tears i was laying in. Slowly i fell back asleep, the gooey stuff on my wings dripping off and drying.
"Get up, 275!" the erasers growled, kicking open my cage and using my experiment number. i crawled out and one of them yanked a feather out of my wing for fun. i yelped, my wings still being sensation.
"Move them like this." another experiment said, moving their wings to show me how to spread mine. She lightly lifted my wings how she showed me to move hers to help me learn. after a few she let me do it on my own and it came naturally. suddenly there was a shock from the floor. "Get on with it!" the white coats shouted from the safe zone behind the glass. "She's not ready! they're too small!" Alessandra, the other experiment who was teaching me, yelled at them. she turned to me, spreading her wings to full length, picked me up, startling me, and flew to a high perch in the room, sitting me down next to them. again there was a zap from the floor, but only Alessandra felt it. she jumped off the perch, wings folded in and landed in a running roll and lunged at the glass, hate on her face. they sent a huge zap trough the floor, making Alessandra pass out.
