A/N: Hola. Thank you a bajillion-million times to all people who reviewed. Reviews make the world go round, as I like to say. Technically, I only have four reviews (sadness) and I said I'd wait for ten, but I was feeling review-deprived and I needed to update something. Therefore, here's the next chapter, but I warn you: I'm terrible at writing in Fang's POV, so feel free to criticize. Tell me what you think, though. Glad everyone liked the first chapter. Hope you like this one too.

Chapter Two

Subject Seven

I watched in anger as the traitor dragged Six away from me. He claimed to be our "friend" but I wasn't as gullible as the others. I knew what he would do eventually. He'd pretend to be nice to us and to care about us, but then right when we least expected it, he'd jump out and turn on us. And we'd all be dead for trusting him.

I tried to send these thoughts to Six as she passed by my crate, but she wasn't paying attention. She was just staring at me, looking slightly confused. Eventually, I gave up and turned away.

After Subject Six was out of sight, I leaned back in my crate and sighed. The rest of the winged mutants watched me weirdly.

"You okay?" Eight asked.

I studied his face. I'm pretty good at reading emotions, but I couldn't tell what he thought of the whitecoat or what Six thought of him.

I shrugged and retreated to the back of the cage. The other experiments seemed to get the message and left me alone. Although I felt a small empathic message from Eleven as she held onto the bars of her cage and watched me.

Happy, the message said. Be happy.

I smiled slightly and nodded at her. She grinned, showing her two teeth, and crawled back next to her brother.

I closed my eyes and tried to pull all emotions into the back of my mind. I took a deep breath and slowly let it out, thinking about all the things I just wanted to forget about.

I thought of that stupid whitecoat who was getting into our minds way too easily. I thought of how much Six trusted him and didn't trust me. I thought of how Eleven wasn't even one year old left and yet she had experienced "tests" worse than all of ours combined.

I thought of how, even at the age of six, Subject Nine refused to say a word. I thought of how much Ten cared for his sister, yet there was nothing he could do to help her, much less himself.

Lastly, I thought of Six. I cared about her, that was for sure. We were the same age and we had known each other for nine long years, but still she threw all her trust in a man who would just abandon her someday. And she paid absolutely no attention to me.

And people say I'm antisocial.

My eyes still closed, I pushed all those thoughts into the back of my mind and forced my heart to be as emotionless as my face. While Six was making kissy-faces at the forty-year-old traitor, I was leader. For now.

I opened my eyes and surveyed the kids. Eight was nine as well, but he was just too…..happy to be any use.

Happy good, Eleven reminded me. I rolled my eyes.

Thanks, I thought back. I almost forgot.

Eleven smiled cutely again at me from across the lab. I winked at her and continued surveying.

Subject Nine was chewing on her fingernail and glancing around the room nervously. I'd noticed the pitied way Six usually looked at her: like because she was different, she deserved more attention than the rest of us.

Although, I understood why. Nine spoke even less than I did: and I spoke as little as I could get away with. Nine was practically mute. We weren't even sure if she could talk.

I noticed Nine watching me and nodded at her. Then, I looked over at the little kids.

You guys okay? I thought to Eleven.

Happy, she replied. That was her new favorite word. No idea how she learned it.

Ask your brother, I commanded.

Eleven snuggled next to Ten and waited a minute before answering to me, He say good.

I smiled at them and looked around the room again. Normally, I would watch Six for awhile, making sure she was alright. She wasn't usually alright. She was definitely different then the rest of us, although I wasn't a hundred percent sure how.

Reluctantly, I tore my gaze from Six's empty crate when I heard the door open.

Jeb-the-secretly-evil-whitecoat sauntered in, grinning like an idiot, and carrying an unconscious Subject Six.

I reached through the bars of my crate and grabbed his coat- hard- when he passed by.

Jeb leaned forward, still holding Six.

"What's wrong, Seven?" he asked me.

I glared at him and pointedly looked down at Six. He didn't seem to get the message. Idiot.

"What have you done to her?" I growled softly.

Jeb chuckled and smiled at me. "Oh, nothing. She's perfectly fine. Just sleeping. That's all."

I glared harder at him, making him flinch slightly. He seemed to get what I was trying to tell him: if she doesn't wake up in the next hour, I will kill you.

Jeb cleared his throat awkwardly, nodded in acknowledgement to the other kids, and lifted Six into her crate.

After Jeb left, I leaned forward, trying to get a good look at the "sleeping" girl. She seemed to be breathing, but I could never be sure.

Is Six alright? I asked Eleven, hoping her little mind would understand.

She no happy, Eleven replied, making me glare at her automatically. But thinking about stuff.

That was good enough for me. I mentally thanked the baby and leaned back in my cage again.

Hopefully, Six would wake up soon and we wouldn't have to do any "experimentations" before then. For now, I could relax.

"Seven?" I opened one eye. Eight was looking at me strangely.

"Do you think Six is alright?" he asked.

I shrugged and closed my eyes again. I assumed he took that as a yes, because he didn't ask again.

That was when the door burst open and six whitecoats burst in each with a giant bazooka. Well there goes my relaxation time.

A/N: Dun. Dun. Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun. Don't worry; I won't completely leave you at a cliffhanger. Get me to at least ten reviews for this chapter (even if you have to log out and review repeatedly), and the next one will come soon with Iggy telling the story! Yay! Anyway, hope you liked the chapter and pretty please review!
