Chapter 17

I sat in my cage and stared at the flickering dim light, it was the only thing I could use to keep track of the time. The strange dark boy didn't speak again, I did catch him glancing anxiously at the door though. I was just waiting for something to change, so I could cause a little trouble for those no good, devil working scientists. That was my sole aim now, to cause trouble for those who thought they could control me or the other experiments and play god.

I continued counting the flickers of the light bulb.

The door opened on flicker 4,821,642. Counting was the only was I could keep myself sane and stop my mind from wandering to Chase and Sky.

The door opened and more lights flicked on causing my eyes to sting as they adjusted to the lighting. A small blonde boy was dragged in kicking and screaming by his hair by one of the rough looking Erasers.

The dark boy came alive and started watching anxiously.

"You wana go back with your lil buddy? Well do ya you worthless dog?" The Eraser shoved the blonde boys head into the dark ones cages bars, making them rattle and him to cry out in pain. The Eraser was laughing as he unlatched the cage door. When the blonde boy was nearly all the way in next to his friend, I saw the Eraser hand tighten in his hair and cruelty spark in his eyes. I narrowed my eyes.

"Ya know what? I wana play a bit."

"I'll play with you. That's what you do with dogs isn't it? Play, feed, water then control them. Are you their bitch?" I asked in a bored blasé voice.

Sky would scold me for saying the B word, but she wasn't here to protect me. And I know how to get a rise out of the guards, I've been watching Chase and Sky do it all my life like experts. And it worked like a charm, the Eraser forgot about the boys and came after me nearly ripping my cage door off to get it open.

I heard the blonde boy whisper as I readied for the attack. "Does she have a death wish?"

I grinned the minute my door was open and with all my might, I head butted the Eraser in the face. I heard his nose crack and teeth splinter and fly out. I ignored the pain of teeth sinking and sticking into my skin; I tackled the Eraser ad he pulled backwards shocked, when he fell I smashed his head into the hard floor. As he started to get up I snapped my wings out and pulled down empty cages from the air on top of him. I must've hit a weak spot because he went down like a sack of bricks. These Erasers weren't as tough as the Wing Beaters.

By the time the scientists and more Erasers had come in to check what ha happened, I'd already gotten back into my cage and sat watching them smugly. They cleaned up the mess whilst throwing me cautious looks. They murmured about the Arena and how mad I was meant to be.

A scientist walked up to my cage and kicked it. "you're here for a reason kid, the Arena wants us to break you." He snarled.

"Not before I break you." I said in a sweet voice as they left, this time leaving a few lights on so we could see better.

"Thanks." I turned my head to the blonde boys direction and looked into his thankful blue eyes.

"It's okay." I said quietly leaning my head into the bars.

Then I started laughing uncontrollably and wiping at my face and hair, smearing blood from tiny puncture wounds. "Hehe I've got dog slobber in my hair, I bet he doesn't even know how to brush his teeth."

"Why'd you do that?" The dark, quiet boy asked.

I looked him straight in the eyes and my humour vanished. "Because I'm not going to let them win. They can't stop me from fighting them."

He smirked a little then he went back to his quiet depressed look.

"You fought once didn't you? You got scratched but you still got a souvenir. Show her." The blonde boy tugged at the other guy till he fished in his pocket and pulled out something tiny and held his palm up for me to see.

In his hand was a long, slender, curved tooth. Bout the size of my pinkie. Just like the ones in the Erasers mouth before I knocked them out. It was a fang tooth.

"It's a fang," I murmured as I fingered the tooth.

"No it's a tooth from the Eraser." The blonde argued.

"No that tooth is called a fang. How'd you get it?" I asked curiously and catching a smirk on the dark boys face.

"The Eraser was hurting me so I pulled this out. I like pulling their teeth out, it makes them hurt and scream."

I saw a spark in his eyes that caused me to grin. He had life and fight in him. He hadn't given up yet even if he was quiet and brooding.

"I think you're dangerous and sharp. Just like a fang. Hey you haven't got a name so how about it. You can be Fang yeah?" I asked on impulse.

His eyes narrowed and he shrugged as he put the tooth away. "Sure whatever."

I grinned now being able to refer to him by name. "What about me? Can I have a name? What can be a name?"

I looked at the excited blonde boy and frowned. "A name is something that is you, but we pick something special that shows who you are. We'll have to think of one for you."

As the blonde boy started rambling on about cool names and what he could be called I curled up and fell into a light sleep. And for once I dreamt of nothing but blackness. Which was a nice change from blood, death, gore, screams and Chase and Sky. If I couldn't live with them, I didn't want to dream of them. Cause that would give me hope. And the scientists used hope to control and break you. I wouldn't let them break me. Not ever.

A/N SO what ya think? Next is Iggy's name and you will be meeting another flock member. Any suggestions on how to get their names is more than welcome and I could use the help to be honest. I'm stuck on a few of the flock members.
