Wassup my partay peoples? Well, thanks reviewers! Second chapter comin' up! Now the story REALLY starts! Hooray!
Wow. I had the worst start to my day. Ever. Two Erasers dragged me out by my ankles, leaving my head to bump along on the hard floor. Twist yawned for a short time before getting jolted awake by two more of the lizard hybrids, crying out. "What do you think you're doing?!" I heard Sliver stand up in his cage, banging his head against the top in the process. An Eraser hissed and lunged forward, grabbing him out as well. His silver eyes flashed and he whacked his wing at the mutant's head.
Now, that might not seem like that big a deal, but when you're slammed in the head by sheer muscle and tough bone going 70 miles per hour, you'd put up a fuss too. And if you had the short temper of an Eraser, your little tantrum might involve killing someone.
The Eraser hissed like a steam valve and struck Sliver across the face with his clawed hand. Sliver winced but managed to shoot up into the air, banging the ceiling. His concentrated face didn't show any emotion, but I knew he was ecstatic at flying at last. Twist watched in awe but took advantage of that moment to break free of the stupidly stunned Eraser that was holding her. They made the Erasers stronger, but stupider. Twist wind-milled her hand around, catching the big lug in the face. I myself tried to break free of the iron grasp on my arms, failing. But Sliver dove down quickly, landing on the Eraser's head. The lizard thing grunted and momentarily let go of me. Twist called out: "Key!" I knew instantly what her plan was. I nodded but was pinned down by a big black boot. When I landed the breath was knocked out of me, and I saw spots. I only had once choice: Die or Fly.
I gasped in pain as I unfurled my wings. How did Sliver do it without having a seizure of pain? They flapped powerfully, toppling over the Eraser who had his foot on my chest. I couldn't help a little "Haha, suckers!" before diving down, snatching the keys to the cage from an incoming whitecoat's belt, and tossing them to Twist. The pale blond girl unlocked Cove's cage without hesitation. Cove burst out, his sandy wings unfurling quickly like he'd been born to fly. He landed a flying kick in an Eraser's chest, snickering as he did so. I couldn't resist a little smile. Then an alarm went off, making me loose my cool. Well…I didn't have any cool, but…it made me panic. Let's put it that way.
I shouted and smashed the red light that made a blaring sound with my strong wing, pulling the black and white streaked appendage away quickly when the ex-alarm sparked. The spark fell on the floor, into a puddle made from dripping pipes. I knew enough to know what would come next.
Aw, shiz.

The fire came faster than I could blink. "Eaohglurg!" I screamed, not really knowing what it meant. Just an exclamation of the moment, I guess. Sliver shouted and plummeted to the ground. Twist shrieked and dropped the keys she had been fumbling with to unlock Clover's cage. A lump grew in my throat. Clover. Ignoring the singing fire, I grabbed the keys and shoved them in the lock, twisting and turning until it opened. The Erasers and whitecoats were busy putting out the fire I had started. Clover jumped out, her scrawny little wings making a slight ripping sound as they unfurled. Twist beat her wings and grabbed Cove away from incoming Erasers. Sliver was right behind me and Clover, his dark brown hair matted and slightly singed. We all nodded at each other once, a slow devious smile spreading across our faces. We shot up as fast as our wings would carry us, crashing through the roof without much effort. Soaring up into the sky, I whooped with joy. Cove stuck his tongue out at the School before throwing something down at it. He looked at me with his large hazel eyes, wondering if I would disapprove. I just gave him a wicked smile. "Nice." He grinned. All the kid wanted was praise. Sliver and Twist flew on either side of me, trying out gliding and more powerful strokes. "Zero…how exactly did that fire start?" Twist looked at me, raising an almost invisible eyebrow. "Um…a spark and a puddle of water." I shrugged. My stupid hair was getting in my face, black wisps flying everywhere. Clover flew in right behind me, her jet black wings fluttering like a hummingbird's. Her green eyes locked into my blue ones. I nodded to her once. That seemed to give her a burst of strength. My little Clover literally never spoke. At least, I've never heard her talk. She didn't really like it when people talked to her, either. Well, no one except Sliver. They had a bond, those two. He would talk to her softly, and she'd just stare ahead and listen, not looking like she was listening. But I knew she was. Cove smiled evily. "Dude, we totally killed those mutant freaks! I was all, ka-pow !, and Zero was like boom! And Sliver, you were all slam!" I laughed, and Sliver and Twist smiled. Clover said nothing. Cove always made us laugh, whether it was an I'll-kill-you-in-your-sleep-and-eat-your-liver laugh or an actual one. I took one last look at the burning School, hunched over in the snowy mountains. You can't hurt us now, School.
Not anymore.
Or so she thinks…MUAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!! And so the plot thickens. Stay tuned for chapter 3!!!
