Bonus Chapter: The Shanter

Shadow's POV

I turned and headed to the stage. But my mind was still reeling. Why did I kiss Omega? Every time I think about it I cringe and quiver inside. I felt...dirty...

Like I cheated on someone.

I shook my head and rubbed at my temples. This was not working. I pushed those feelings aside and concentrated on the other ones.

Why did I feel...familiarity in that kiss...like it's happened before? I mean nothing is familiar. Not since I have no memories of the past and-

At that minute the room started spinning. I blinked and tried to find a wall, something solid to lean on. I heard voices, music, everything too loud. Too many colors even though the lights were off and the only thing lit up was the different colored floodlights dancing around. Purple, blue, green, black...

Black light?

Foggy...only two voices now...mine and someone else's...

"What do you think you're doing?" I heard myself shriek. The other persons response was muffled. Then me again.

"Things between me and him right now are great, no, perfect. Which is amazing considering that we're constantly on the run with no shelter, our clothes hanging on us in rags but lets not dwell beca-" the voice a little clearer, familiar, said something undecipherable.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN CALM DOWN?! I WILL DO NO SUCH THING!" I heard myself scream. Whatever the other person did must've really shocked and pissed me off to make me explode like that.

"Listen here," I heard myself say softly. "You are like a brother to me, nothing more. I'm sorry if you have that there is something between us because there-WHAT'S SO FUNNY?" I heard loud laughter and it was obviously from a male.

"You thought-" he was chortling with laughter and with a sinking feeling I recognized his voice. Omega. "You thought that I like you in that way?!" he bursted out into laughter.

"Wha-?" I heard the confusion in my tone. I heard Omega catch his breath. I strained my eyes to clear up the fog. All I could catch is two shadows. One, presumably me(I recognize the stance), was standing up with my hands on my hips. The other, Omega, was sitting down, swinging his legs.

"I think that," Omega said calmly. I couldn't pick up the colors or surroundings. "It was a simple mistake. There is nothing between us except a strong friendship. You, Fang, Max, Iggy, and Hunter are my closest friends, and I don't want to mess anything up. You would be a heartbroken mess, Fang would be out for my blood, Hunter would shun me, Max would kick my ass and Iggy will be trying to keep the younger ones from seeing us fight. It would end catastrophically." My head was reeling from all of this information. The younger ones, Max, Iggy, Fang, Hunter...was this a memory from my past?

"So lets forget this happened?" I heard myself ask.

"Yes, Shadow. Lets just put it aside." he said. Silence then-"So how are things between you and Hunter?"

WHAT?

Alright Shadow, calm down, I assured myself. That can mean a couple of things.

"Fine," I heard myself say, shuffling my feet.

"Have you two kissed yet?" he asked teasingly.

"That is none of your concern," I heard myself say. But I knew myself. Cause you know, I'm me. And I could tell...we did.

Me and Hunter have kissed.

Oh. My. Gosh.

All of a sudden, the fog thickened then cleared.

To have a certain dirty-blond haired boy with golden eyes staring deeply into my eyes.

I blinked in surprise and looked at my surroundings. We were still in the party except-

I was pinned to the wall by Hunter.

Oh shiznits.

"Sky?" he asked. I struggled in response. And I realized that I couldn't move. My stomach dropped. Wait a sec...

Even if I went through some weird ass regaining memory thing or something, I still should've been able to move. Still should've been able to throw him ten feet in the air.

Unless he was an experiment.

My mouth went dry and I struggled harder. Lucky for me my back was to the wall so he couldn't feel my wings. I didn't wear that wing covering skin thing because it's itchy and uncomfortable.

And I didn't think I would be in this position.

"Sky? Are you okay?" he asked. What the hell?

"Get off me," I said. His expression hardened.

"Are. You. Okay," he growled, reminding me of Max for some odd reason. Maybe it's because I'm supposed to be setting up on stage right now to get her to the damn room.

"Why would you care?" I growled back, glaring at him. He returned the glare matching it's intensity.

"Because you muttered the name of someone of interest," he said. I snickered amd gave him a devious grin flashing my canines like I always do. A habit. I went to his ear and whispered softly enjoying how he shivered involuntarily because of it. Yes, I know, I'm such a bad ass.

"Who, you Brian? Or should I say-" I paused for dramatic effect. "Hunter?" I moved back to see the expression on his face. Shock mixed with anger. I don't know if he did it on purpose or not but he squeezed my wrists very hard. Ouch. It felt like, at any second they would snap. Which clarified two things.

1. He was an experiment.

2. I was in trouble.

I tried not to scream in pain and said "It's not nice to break anyones wrists for no good reason." His eyes widened in surprise and the grip loosened but didn't release. I started struggling again, a bit more violently though. If he doesn't let go this instant...

"How do you know?" he hissed at me.

"That's for me to know and you to never find out," I said glaring at him. He was getting more pissed and tightened his grip. He lowered his face to my level and our noses were touching-but that didn't matter. It felt like there was only me and him in the room.

"Tell. Me. Now," he hissed. I kept my mouth shut and I knew he was getting frustrated. But we couldn't on like this. Actually, I couldn't. I mean, so what that he was squeezing my wrists to dust? I could deal. But my wings...they were screaming in pain.

A whimper escaped me and I cursed myself. I didn't want to show weakness to him of all people. He immediately locked onto my eyes. I gulped. The mere closeness of those golden eyes made me...

My feelings were so jumbled up, I didn't know what I felt.

I stared at him and soon, automatically, I felt myself close my eyes, lean in...

...and kiss him.

Omega's POV

I saw Max and Fang both head for the hallways. How interesting. If didn't know any better I'd say that they were going to a more private space to snog, not upstairs to steal information from Itex.

Like I said, I'd only say that if I didn't know better.

I sighed as I thought about the past, where the Flock, as they affectionately called themselves, were back together. And it was all his fault. My eyes narrowed as I thought of the Directors' husband. But I call him the Director since he's the head of everything. She's just there for show, for inheritance. She was insignificant, if you really thought about it.

The old Director, she was the nice one. You're probably thinking, 'Are you psychopathic? How could anyone like someone ordered experiments on people?!' Let me tell you, Dr. Valencia Martinez, the old Director, Max's, Hunter's, Ella's and Ari's mother, didn't order any experiments on any one. She gave housing to the experiments that lasted like me.

Then she was murdered by her own husband.

Marian is not my real mother. She just says that I am her son now because according to her I'm an 'awesome experiment'. She's just like her mother. Who died of a wild experiment, good riddance.

I looked around again, a bit impatient. I couldn't find Hunter or Shadow anywhere. I sighed and cringed when I thought about Shadow. She's going to kill me when she gets her memories back.

If she gets them back.

Then I saw them. Hunter and Shadow, I mean. He had her against the wall.

And they were making out like there was no tomorrow.

And there wouldn't be if Jeb caught them like that. But whatever.

It took all my willpower not to jump up and shout in joy on stage. Maybe they were getting their memories back.

Then I saw a scientist with dirty blond hair and hazel eyes burst through the doors, looking PISSED. Oh shit.

Immediately, I jumped off the stage and located Annabell.

"Yes, honey," she slurred. I rolled my eyes. I'm going to chew out whoever brought alcohol to this party...

"You know Brian right?" I asked, remaining casual even though I was panicking.

"My baby? Of course," she said. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes.

"Yeah, he's making out with Sha-I mean Sky," I said. She basically exploded and I pointed her the way there.

Shadow's POV

"GET OFF HIM!" a familiar voice said. Which made my brain focus on what was going on.

Oh. My. God.

Hunter's tongue was in my mouth.

Oh God I'm going to-

His hands were gripping my wings.

I panicked and shoved him with much more force than necessary and ran off onto the stage.

"SHADOW!" I froze. How does he know my name? He's not supposed to...I ran backstage where Omega was standing there coolly.

"Instruments there. Plug in and take off," he said. I grabbed the guitar before I could question what he said and ran to stage. I looked around and saw Hunter and Annabell.

Kissing. Well, it looked more like Annabell threw herself at him...

No, I told myself. Don't make excuses for him.

I couldn't fight nor deny the surge of jealousy that hit me. I looked back at the crowd and sighed.

I so hate tonight.

Hunter looked up and say me staring at me. He shook his head vigorously but I ignored him.

Something told me it was going to be a long night.

Review please:)
