A/N: Uck, I hate that they are so short, I'm sorry, but here's another chapter. Disclaimer, I own the story and the characters, anything you recognize I don't own.

6.

The flight across the sea was long and hard. We didn't really talk; too busy concentrating at not looking down at the endless blue water below us. My heart was racing with both fear and joy, as I'm pretty sure the others were too. We were finally free from that awful place. We hadn't been treated as bad as most experiments, yeah they stuck needles in us, and had eraser then after they were gone those robot erasers chase us around and use us for target practice, but at least we weren't put in cages. Well, I was, at first.

For two years, I was stuck in a crate, another crate, Sabe's I think, along with other experiments' beside me. Those two first years were the worst, and the ones I remember most. Then, one day, they took me and placed me in a glass room. You couldn't see throw the glass from the inside, but you could from the other end. One way glass. At first it was just empty, nothing at all, but at least it was big, and I taught myself to fly, and then the brought Saber to me. For a few days we ignored each other then after having to get chased by erasers, we became friends.

And then they added Sims and Cuz four years later. At the age of four, another kid would be brought. Emerald and Ruby were brought a day apart, and Star was brought two years later. That was four years ago, at the age of twelve, I was a mother, a leader, and a role model for six others, and that's when I started to plan our escape.

We'd tried about, I don't know, a million times to get out, and eventually the scientist started to say I was outrageous always trying to get out, driving them crazy. Hint, where I got the name Outrageous Drive.

I had almost given up, when those crazy, even more crazy then us, human kids attacked the place. I laughed at how perfect it was and started to make a plan of action, which actually turned out to be just run. So we ran, and you know what happened after that, well not all of it, but we're getting there.

There was a whimper behind me and I looked back. Star was looking tired, but the shore to the land of the free was only a few bird miles away. I looked over to Saber. He nodded, his blue eyes glowing in the setting sun's light and went over to Star. I sighed.

Then I prayed.

Then I wondered if blood lusting bird kids got to pray, or were we part of the problem, the thing people prayed to get rid of. I shook my head to clear the thoughts.

Star was asleep; Saber seemed okay, even with the extra weight of her in his arms. Cuz and Sims looked like they could go on a while longer yet, and the twins both were hanging in there. I smiled (inwardly of course, I try not to show emotion to often for the sake of the brood) and looked out at Long Island. Shivers were running up and down my arms and I looked at Saber. He had the same expression as me. I signaled for the brood to land, and as we got closer, the shivers got worst. Then I saw.

It was the scariest thing I'd ever seen.
