Chapter 5

(David's POV)

Everyone stood up and grabbed their stuff, leaving the uneaten food behind. We headed towards the doors, not walking, but not running either. The doors opened before we got to them and everyone in the room looked up.

Onyx stood in the doorway looking at our group. "If you are smart, you will all go sit down," she directed us.

We turned around and began to walk away when she raised her hand and lifted her finger. "Except you, David." I froze and turned around to look at Onyx. "Come here."

I walked forward, every step against my will, but I still ended up standing in front of her in the few seconds it took to cross the hall.

Onyx looked at me hard, "You never came to my chamber. Come along David, we'll chat as we walk."

I walked out, catching a glimpse of Shadow watching me, her eyes wide, before the doors closed.

"What do you want Onyx," I said as calmly as I could.

"What do I- don't you know silly boy?" She barked, "Haven't you heard?"

"Heard what? The rumors? Rumors aren't true," I scoffed.

"But don't all rumors have a smidgen of truth?"

"If that's true then I should have been dead a long time ago." Onyx looked at me with a look that told me to continue. "A while back there was a rumor that you- no, my creator, the person that changed my DNA, implanted a virus that would kill me in 2013. It's 2015, I'm not dead. Rumors are lies."

Onyx considered this, walking quietly beside me, her arm hooked through mine.

"Have you heard the new rumor?"

I sighed in defeat and shook my head. "No, I haven't heard the rumor."

"Well," she murmured, "if you haven't heard it maybe I shouldn't tell you."

"If you were going to talk to me about petty things like rumors, you wouldn't have dragged me out of the Hall. What do you really want?

Onyx stopped and turned to face me. "Four things will happen soon. You think I'm oblivious to things, but I'm not. I'm going to give you wings. I also know that you and Shadow are in love. Three, Shadow is my sister. Lastly, I'm getting you out of here."

xXx-xXx

(Shadow's POV)

"Well, that went well."

"Shut it Ash," I growled.

"Hey, don't attack me. I'm just sayin'…" Ash trailed off.

"Sayin' what?"

"Life sucks, then you die," Ash muttered.

"Thanks for putting it bluntly Ash."

He flashed a smile at me as we sat back down. I smiled back.

Stark spoke up then, "There's a back door in here… but it's probably locked." He looked pointedly at Ash.

Ash raised his hands in surrender. "Fine, we'll go out that way. It leads to a courtyard."

I looked at Ash. "A c- courtyard?"

"Yeah, a grassy area with walls around it but open to the- oh."

"Right, open to the sky. A way out."

"Shadow?" Sage asked, "You're the only one with wings. How are the rest of us supposed to get out?"

"Lunch is over," a guard said, walking over to our table, "time to go."

The guard left and continued walking around the room.

"Shaunee, Kathrine and I are going to the library. If you need us look there," Matt said.

I said goodbye to them and turned to look at Sage. She stared at me and her eyes faded from green to grey.

"You look better with green eyes Sage," I said.

"Thanks, but I have to practice," Sage murmured.

"Speaking of practice," Stark said, looking at Ash, "you want to help me?"

"Sure," Ash said. " Bye Sage, Shadow." Edward followed them without a word.

"Hey Sage?" Stark said. Sage looked at him. "Why don't you take Shadow to get clothes?"

"Good idea. Come on Shadow, let's go."

Sage led me out of the hall and in the opposite direction than I came in from. We were walking by a side corridor when I stopped. Sage kept walking until she noticed that I had stopped following her.

"Shadow let's go. There is nothing down there. Just the experiment rooms."

"Hold on Sage. I thought I heard something."

Sure enough, a moment later there was a scream. I raced down the hall, Sage following me asking me to stop. I did… eventually. I was standing outside a door listening to the screams of someone in pain.

I reached out to open the door when I noticed Sage staring through a window. I walked over and looked through. The room was white and pretty much empty except for a table and a person standing in the room by the table. But strapped to the table, that's what appalled me the most, because it was David screaming his eyes open, blank and staring, that was strapped to that table. David who jerked and contorted. And Onyx was controlling it all.
