Jake point of view
I flew till midnight it seemed, when I landed it seemed that no one was out on the street. Still I flew down on full alert. It was a small town a worn down road, and small houses. Nearby I heard taping, fast taping. It reminded me of when Gale would be on the computer. I looked around until I spotted where the light was coming from. There was a light blue glow coming from behind a tree. Someone is on the computer, but who?
I walked to the tree and walked around it. The person on the computer didn't notice me so it gave me time to inspect them. It was a small girl, in flip-flops. She has short hair; it slanted forward, and her eyes reflected the computer screen. I could almost read it until she looked up gasping.
"Who are you?" I asked before she would yell.
"I-I'm Eno. I'm 8 years old. What's your name?" She asked somewhat calmly.
"Jake. Jake Tristan. Gale name'n me." I responded
"Is Gale your mother?" She said.
I never had thought of that before, but in a way she kind of was. She taught me to speak and named me. She was always there for me, and never cared about the huge hunk of wings on my back. She was more than a stranger with a name to me, and I hoped to see her soon.
I sat next to Eno and sighed. "No, I have no mother. I am like a fallin angel, no past no futur. People want me dead, and humans don't understan me. Gale's Differn though." (A.N. Don't worry his grammar will improve)
"Why don't you stay with me tonight? I live nearby. In the woods." Eno said closing the laptop.
"Oky" I couldn't refuse shelter.
She skipped the whole way there. It was directly behind a house. I could tell that they shared electricity. It was a little house, like a tree house, but without the tree. I was small but held a lot of technology, I could tell from the outside. As I walked in I was more aware of the amount of technology.
She had pieces of ipods, computers, and cell phones all laid around a table. Some had wires connecting to others. It is like a house full of wires but it was all organized. Some wires even had tape on the end. My eyes fluttered across the room taking in everything. There was a couch and one king size bed. She lived alone here, a child alone? I didn't understand.
"You can sleep on the couch. Or you could go into the house, no one lives there but it's pretty warm."
"You live lone?" I asked
"Yeah, It's better this way. No one can tell on me. I'm not that respected by the law. I hack into mainframes and stuff. I am only allowing you here because I can tell you're not that law binding either."
"Ah. I'm not that liked." I said remembering the attack on my former house. "I'll sleep in the house tonight."
"Okay, Um. Night. I'll show you around tomorrow."
I beamed. It was like she was reading my mind; I hated not being able to say what I was thinking. I just nodded. I fell asleep on the couch in the house, and I had a dream of Gale. Her smile and the way she looked when the wind blew her hair back, the way she would check up on me when I had a nightmare, and how she told me it was all right.
The dream suddenly turned when the walls started to shrink and the walls turned to bars closing in on me. People in white coats, I learned were called doctors, were poking me with needles and marking things on their boards. I tried to move away…. I couldn't. I tried to break the bars.
BOOM! A stinging pain on my head when I realized I had fallen off the couch. (A.N. My computer crashed AGAIN!!! :O Machines are meany heads)
I sat there staring at the roof. My mind rushed to remember where I was. Then I remembered Eno, her house and everything. I had nothing to do; the sun wasn't up so I just thought. I thought of everything. I wondered what I was. Why Gale didn't have wings like me. Why Eno was helping me. What my reason to live is.
I took out the feather from the weird girl from the forest. It still lingered the smell of her. I wasn't the only one here. I wasn't the only freak. I held the feather near my face and the sent flowed into my nose. I let it, and didn't resist.
My eyes snapped open, and I sat up. My senses had peeked. My eyes sharpened and I stared north. I could sense her. She was near…. Real near. All my muscles tensed as if ready for a chase. I snarled and dug my fingers into the floor. Breaking the concrete instantly. Every sense told me to chase her. To find her… kill her…. destroy her.
I knew I couldn't! I couldn't kill her! She and her family were like me…. I can't kill my own kind. I finally began to relax and I released my grip on the floor. I sighed a great sigh and I heard the door open. Eno stood there at the door wide-eyed she looked surprised.
"My… floor…." She said.
"Sorry."
Max point of view
I couldn't believe my eyes. Those Itex scumbags had done enough, but now they had crossed the line. I was pissed. How could they steal Fang and my DNA and try to make an experiment strong enough to kill my flock and me!
I scrolled down more and my mood didn't change much. They had stats on him: his speed, maximum height, muscle strength, and much more. I went to the bottom of the screen and they had videos of training him. I thought the stuff they did to me was mean.
I clicked one video, they had his wings clipped, his face was covered and they were in a plane, 100 feet off the ground maybe. They pushed him out with his wings clipped. I tensed, as he was about to hit the ground and turned away. I looked back at the screen and there he was standing there only little cuts and burses from rolling on the ground.
He had survived, barely but surely. The video ended after you could tell his legs where broken, almost in half. I couldn't look at any more, but I was now thinking back comparing him to fang and I. As stunned as I was I couldn't help but reading more. It said that they erased or covered his memory after each experiment so he would do it again.
I stood up from the computer and turned to the flock. "Lets get outta here." I said and I walked out of the library flying up without a second thought. I knew he was programmed to kill me, but could I kill him first?
I would have to try.
A.N please REVIEW!!! I've been having a stressful time dealing with my computer to get this to you. So congrats me a little bit.
