Hey! I want to thank the people who reviewed on my story and for the compliments and ideas that they gave. So far, no bad comments so I am crossing my fingers that I do not get any. Anyway, here is chapter 2. ENJOY!

I stared in shock at the man standing before me. His dark hair and olive skin were exactly the same shade as mine. The only noticeable difference between us was our eye color. My ice blue eyes were nothing like his dark brown almost black eyes. His clothes were dirty and wrinkled. His hair was messy and in horrible disarray. The doorstep was cloaked with the smell of beer and cigarette smoke. I gathered myself together and decided to meet him and my mother before drawing any more conclusions about them.
"I was wondering if I could talk to you and your wife about an important matter that concerns the two of you," I said smoothly hiding all traces of emotion behind a carefully constructed mask so I did not cause suspicion.
"Fine," he replied in his rough voice that sounded like the crunching of gravel underneath the wheels of a car.
He opened the door wide, allowed me to walk inside and shut it firmly behind him as he ushered me to the small table in the kitchen area of the trailer where my mother sat. The floor was littered with clothes, shoes and various other items. Walking through their trailer to the small round table was like walking through a maze. Everywhere I looked to walk, I had to maneuver around the objects strewn across the floor.
When I was finally seated opposite the man and woman, I began my tale. "Thirteen years ago you gave birth to a daughter and I she was me. I do not know how it happened but I was raised in a lab and used as a human experiment. I escaped and I came searching for the two of you because the evidence on their computers says that you are my parents," looking at their faces I could not tell what they would do with me but I knew that they could see the same resemblances that I saw. They new I was their daughter and looking closer at the woman before me I saw that she had the same ice blue eyes that I had, along with the dark black hair and olive skin tone of my father and me.
"Look, I do not know why you came looking for us we never wanted kids, I can see the resemblances and have no doubt that you are our daughter but that still does not change our decision," the man replied bluntly. "We gave you and your brother to that place in the first place," said my mother in a matter of fact tone.
"Okay, slow done and let me get this strait" I spat at them my words displaying all of my fury, hatred and anger towards my so-called parents. "Who is my brother and why did we end up with those crazed scientists?"
"We had your brother first," she replied, "a man came to us and offered us money to give him up. He never said why."
"We were young and had no desire for children," continued my father, "both of us had dropped out of school so we gave him up and took the money. We had found a quick way to get money so when your mother got pregnant again about a year later, we offered you to the same guy and he gave us money for you as well," he finished like it was the most common thing in the world and I could tell that they had no regrets about their decision.
"What kind of people are you," I shouted in their faces "you gave them two innocent children and are the reason why I had to grow up in a living nightmare. They starved me, ran tests on me and infused wings onto my back," I screeched at them.
"Hold on a second wings?" they both asked in bewilderment.
I was so furious I slipped off my jacket, watched it fall to the floor and unfurled my huge wings that stretched from one end of their kitchen to the other. My face was filled with hate and I am sure that I looked like the Angel of Death with my dark black wings.
"This is what I am because of you," I seethed, venom dripping from my words. With that, I ran from the trailer, through the door open, almost knocking it off its hinges and stopped running right in front of the trailer. Turning around I saw that they had followed me and were staring at me in shock and terror.
I smirked at their reaction to me and took of into the air leaving behind the two people that I thought were going to make my life better. There was only one goal I had left and that was to find my brother. From what my parents had said, he was one year older than me making him fourteen. While at the School, I had heard that six experiments had escaped about three years ago. By searching through their computers, I had found that they were all bird kids like me. My brother was taken by the same man I was so he must have been used for the same experiment as me so if he was a bird kid he was with those five others right now. The records at the School showed no signs of any other human avian experiments ever made besides the seven of us meaning we all escaped.
Even more questions started to filter their way into my brain as I processed this information. How would I find them? What was my big brother like? Would they turn me away or welcome me as part of their family? I had no answers for any of these questions so for right now, I decided to block everything out and just focus on the freedom of flying and putting as much distance between me and the rotten people called my parents.
I was gliding through the air when I became conscious of a mass of huge flying creatures following me. Squinting into the distance I was able to see them more clearly and realized that I had forgot about one very important part of being a fugitive from the School. Flying clumsily behind me with perfect snarls on their deformed faces were ten Erasers, intent on bringing me back to the School or killing me and claiming that it was an accident when they presented the scientists with my cold lifeless body. Could this day get any worse I thought to myself as I turned to fight the rapidly approaching Erasers adrenaline coursing through my veins.
Well? Please review and tell me what you think. The next chapter may not be up as fast because I am busy this weekend and on Friday but if, I have time tomorrow I will try to write chapter 3. Till the next chapter!
