Skye P.O.V.

Fang came out first. Then Nudge, Angel, Gazzy, and lastly Iggy.

"So, you go into the woods and get us a girl." Fang said.

"Maybe next time you'll get us another dog." Gazzy joked.

"I don't see why you would want another. I'm perfect." Total said.

"Guys, this isn't funny. Skye needs our help." Max said sternly.

"She's from the school." Angel said, "Skye is another genetic mutation, like us." I was still in pain.

"Fang, get a cup of water. Iggy, make some food." Max ordered, "How are you Skye?"

"I'm so thirsty and hungry. And my whole body hurts!" I was really sad and in so much pain.

Fang came back with the water. "Skye, here's some water." Max said.

"Oh please give it to me." I said. Fang handed me the glass of water. I took it and started drinking so fast the water was splashing all over me.

"Skye, you might not want to drink so fast." Max pointed out. "The water is really cold."

"Oh no it feels so good inside and out! Now I just need food." I said.

"Iggy, how are you doing on the food?" Max asked.

"I'm coming with some cereal. Then some bacon and eggs later for everyone." He said.

"Hear that Skye? You're getting cereal!" Max said.

"Oh that sounds like the best thing in the world to me! Bring it to me NOW!" I said. As soon as Iggy entered the room I ripped the bowl from his hands and stuffed the cereal into my mouth.

"Wow she's eating like a starving kid!" Gazzy said.

"Probably because she IS a starving kid, Gazzy!" Angel said.

"That does make sense." he responded. "But what happened to her?"

"There were these robots attacking her, and I think they were the school's newest invention." Max said. "Like, replacement Erasers."

"Skye, do you remember anything about those robots?" Angel asked.

"Of course!" I answered, "They are like the security guards of the school. Whenever anyone gets away, they go out and catch them. But most of the time the people don't make it." I shuddered, remembering the images of all those poor little kids dying in the dog crates surrounding mine, and imagining that happening to me, too. "And the robots are coming to get me. They must never stop trying to recover an escaped prisoner. I hope you don't mind."

"Skye, we don't mind at all. We would do anything to help an escaped member of the school. I spent ten years there myself." Max said. She made me feel happy and calm, like a family.

"I just hope you can accept this." I said, before I showed Max my secret.
