Chapter 6

(Shadow POV)

I stood there, dumbfounded, wondering why David was in there and what was happening to him. Then I saw them; the ghost of wings, stretching out of his back. They weren't like my wings though, they looked leathery, like bat wings. My eye was drawn away from them though when David screamed and arched his back.

I saw a movement out of the corner of my eye and turned my head to look down the previously empty corridor. Standing down the hallway was a little girl with white-blonde hair that was pulled back in a loose ponytail. She wore what looked like a school uniforn; a white blouse with a pleated navy blue skirt. Her bangs hung over the right half of her face but I could see a glint of silver behind it.

"Leave," she said, pointing back the way we came.

"I can't. I know him," I whispered, afraid Onyx would hear if I talked louder.

"Shadow, who are you talking to?" Sage asked, so I pointed to the girl. "There's no one there Shadow."

"Go away," the girl growled.

"Can't you hear her Sage?" Sage shook her head. I turned back to the girl. "Why can't my friend see or hear you?"

"Get out of here. You'll find out soon. Go!"

I stared at the girl as her form and color faded. Soon the hallway was empty again.

"We should go," Sage whispered, pulling me back the way we came.

I glanced through the window one final time and gasped. Onyx was staring at me over David's unmoving body.

"Shadow?" I looked at Sage, tears forming in the corners of my eyes, "I'm sorry. Come on, let's go get you new clothes."

She put her arm around my shoulders and guided me the way we needed to go and away from the expirementing rooms.

xXx-xXx

By the time we had put my new clothes in my room it was time to go eat dinner. When we got back to the Hall's doors, Onyx paced there, obviously waiting for our arrival.

"Shadow, come with me. Now," Onyx growled before turning on her heel and walking away.

I looked at Sage and shrugged, waving good-bye as I followed Onyx, almost unwillingly. Almost. As we passed the hallway where the expirement rooms were, the little girl appeared, skipping by my side.

"Do you know what's going on?" I asked her, careful to keep my voice very low.

"No idea," she said, "but Shadow?" I looked down at her. "Onyx is not what she seems," and with that she vanished.

"Shadow, I'd prefer it if you walked beside me instead of behind me," Onyx said to me.

I walked a little faster until my pace and stride matched hers. I didn't say anything and neither did she. We walked for a while and it seemed that we were going in circles. Onyx finally stopped outside of a wooden door with no window. I looked around and tried to get my bearings. I was about to say something but I remembered to let her speak first.

"I know you saw me in the experimenting room with David earlier. I know this because I saw you and your friend leaving," Onyx said to me.

"What did you do to him?" I asked, remembering the sight of her standing over David's unmoving body.

"Only reconfigured his DNA, allowing his wings to grow and giving him a few, more desired traits," she answered, playing with her keys. "Would you like to see him?"

I nodded and she moved to unlock and open the door, stopping with the key half way turned. She looked at me then and smiled, turning back around to face me.

"Of course, there's a price for all these good deeds I'm doing for you and your gang. A price that I will have to pay in order for you to escape," Onyx purred with a knowing glint in her eye.

My breath stuck in my throat and I swallowed so I could inhale.

"What do you mean?" I asked warily.

Onyx sighed heavily, "I had this conversation earlier today. I do not feel like having it again. So I'll say it slowly for you. I. Am. Going. To. Help. You. Get. Out. Of. Here. There's no better way to be reunited with my little sister."

Onyx smiled sweetly as I stood there with my mouth agape.

"There's no way that you are my sister," I laughed.

"Uh I can run a DNA test for you but that would take to long. You need to get David moving and you need to gather your group so that you can leave. Here."

Onyx turned the doorknob and pushed the door open. David was laying facedown on a cot that was pushed back into the corner. I rushed past Onyx and knelt on the floor next to him. I reached to touch his wings but stopped, I knew how tender they would be after having them, installed, for lack of a better word. I stood up and spun around, my wings outstretched and twitching.

"What did you do to him!" I screamed. "Why did you hurt him?"

Onyx stood with her back against the door, looking cool, calm and collected. Seeing her standing like that made me even angrier. My wings fluttered a little and I was soon hovering protectively in front of David.

"You don't care about us! You don't care if we live or die! You don't care if we escape or not! You only care about your experiments, not the people you experiment on! How dare you claim to be my sister!" I screeched at Onyx. "Get out," I growled.

Onyx stood still and looked at me smiling.

"Get. OUT!" I screeched, throwing my hands out in front of me and flinging power at Onyx.

She fell on the floor and laughed, more like her old self again, before standing up and leaving, giving me one final smile. Onyx shut and locked the door behind her and I was alone with David. I fell to the floor and cried.

A/N- Well? That was good right? Lol… review please.
