Why I Hate White

Max's P.O.V.

I woke up to the smell of bacon. Before I got up to see if it's ready I thought of Fang and me kissing. Did I like it? Well, who doesn't think kissing a hot guy isn't fun? But still he's like my best friend and if we dated and something went wrong or he found out my secret-I have wings- would we be friends anymore? Probably not. UGH! Why did that stupid scientist have to mess up my perfectly good life? Let me tell you how it started.

Flashback

We were living in England because Mom and Dad were bringing awareness to global warning and all that jazz. I was really little when our Nanny-never trusted that old woman-took Angel and I to this lab. Angel was 2 at the time and I was 10. I wish I were younger so wouldn't remember what went on in there, but Angel was lucky and she doesn't remember a lot. She just remembers getting sick. A lot. And pain. There was white everywhere-that's why I HATE the color white-, scientists running here and back, and well a bunch of kids. We were lucky we ever got out. I saw a scene I never want to see again. A scene that I'm glad Angel didn't see-that's why Angel is happier than me. The horror, the sadness, the pain, the lost, the look in their eyes that say: just kill me now, and well, the lost hope that everything will be okay. That's what I saw in those kids' eyes. They were all in cages some 2 or 3 some of them up to 16; in small little cages. At the time I wondered if we were just here to give back; like we do to the people in jail, but we didn't have blankets or food to give. Then we walked into a room with cages. Empty cages.

"Go look at the cages. We are going to get you a dog so you need to go sit in them to make sure they would fit the dogs. Make sure your comfortable." She said to me.

"But what about Ari? Doesn't he want one?" I asked her troubled. He had gone on and on about wanting a dog. I wonder why he would go to basket ball practice instead of coming to get a dog.

"NO!" she yelled. So then I just went over to a cage. It was about my size and my dog would fit in. Just as I was about to get out Nanny pushed me in. I hit the back of the cage with my head and it was now bleeding. I heard a loud bang and the all of a sudden the door closed.

"ANGEL! NANNY! What's going on! NANNY! I can't get out!" I said trying to get out by shaking the cage.

"Maw!" Her name for me since she's just now talking; somewhat talking "Whaw arew we?" Angel asked me. (A/N: Angel said where are we?)

"I don't know but I'll get us out of-" I tried but then right as I almost got it unlocked-with my handy Bobby~Pin- when a needle went through my hand and I went unconscious.

I remember waking up to someone poking me and a horrible stomach ache. I open my eyes and look down. I was wearing a white gown-the kind you wear in the hospital- and I didn't know where Angel was.

"Ange1, ANGE! Where are you?" I yelled. Something poked me again and then I peeked out through the bars to see a boy with black hair and beautiful obsidian eyes. He looked about my age.

"Hey, I'm Nick." He said very softly. "Umm could you not yell? Some of us have really bad migraines and horrible stomach aches."

"Okay, sorry. Do you know where my sister is? She's 2 years-" I said before I puked in a little bucket in the corner.

"Are you okay?" Nick asked.

"Yeah, I think so. How long have I been here and when will I get out of here?" I asked the nice boy. I got sick again before he answered.

"I've been here for 2 months. The first few weeks are hard but you will get used to it. And you have been here for 5 days." He told me quietly since someone else got sick to. I looked to see who it was and nearly knocked over the cage. It was Angel! I had found her. I started to try to undo the lock on the lock, but it didn't work. I was looking in my hair to see if Nanny put another bobby pin in my hair when someone touched me from the other side of me.

"Hey the name is Jeff and don't try to get out or the white coats will put you out, again." Iggy told me right as a, I guess a 'white coat' walked straight over to my sister's cage.

"HEY YOU CAN'T HURT HER! Hurt me first!" I yelled at him but he just took her out of the cage. "STOP! DON'T HURT HER!" I yelled as he took Angel out of the room.

"What are you doing? Now they are gonna come and get you! Do you even know her?" Nick asked me. Right as he finished his sentence he went to the very back of his cage and hid. I wondered why he did that right when someone opened the cage door. Right as I got out I started kicking and slashing. I looked around for something to hit with other than my fist when I thought 'I'm gonna let Nick out and then I'll have four hands and if he get's out-' was all I got of the plan before I went unconscious, again.

I woke up with a bright light in my eyes, a horrible pain in my arm, and I figured out that I wasn't in my cage. I was lying down on-

"!" I screamed.

"Be quiet. You little brat." Someone told me. I'm gonna call him hurter person.

"Well you would be screaming if someone was putting bird DNA in your DNA! Duh." Said the other guy. I'm gonna call him nice hurter person. I sort of recognized his voice but I was being operated on awake.

"Please stop. What are you doing to me?" I asked nice hurter person.

"There. We are done. So Alex," (A/N: This is for you Alex. Hehe) "take her back to her cage. I would give her pain medicine but let's make her suffer. Then she'll scream which will be horrible for the other kids, especially Nick because he was operated on to." Said the hurter person

"Okay, but are you sure that you don't want to give her some pain medication? It would really help her, Tyler." Alex asked, more like pleaded.

"NO! Now take her back to her cage before I experiment on you, too! GO" Tyler told Alex as Alex picked me up and scrambled out of the room. Once we were in the hall Alex told me he was sorry. When we got to my cage he gave me some medicine and some water and told me to take it.

"Hey, Nick take this, please. It's pain medication." Alex told him. Once that door closed and Alex was out of the room Jeff told me something.

"Alex is one of the nice 'white coats', but never get on his bad side because he won't give you pain medicine. It's like going to Hade's layer and back without it. Zephyr over here has experience." Jeff explained.

"What did he do?" Now intrigued in his story. Zephyr, bless his heart, had gone outside for 'Physical Education'. He had put up a good fight to. When you go outside for physical education you run 6 miles, get trampled by dogs, and try to fly with someone hanging onto you.

"Well let's just say he relived himself on him. It wasn't his fault either." He told me trying to keep a straight face. "They gave him this drink that made him need to go to the bathroom, so Alex was holding him and well. I think you know what happened next." Jeff told me.

"Sometimes we have fun here but mostly it's just hurting and pain. The Flock gets through better than the rest because we have each other. Do you want to become part of the Flock?" Nick whispered to me after over hearing the story.

"Umm, who's in it? And can my sister be in it?" I asked him because I could use some fun right now. Right after this horrible stomach ache goes away.

"It's Jeff, Monique, Zephyr, Me, and if you want Angel and you." He answered.

"Sure. So, why are we here in the first place? I mean what's the point of all of this?" I got out before I puked again.

"I think that we are experiments for these horrible people we call objects. They are trying to put bird DNA in our DNA. Then they see what happens. Not everybody has bird DNA some of them have different animal DNA. Never go in the room with the blue door because they have all their failures in there. They put them in there for the rest of their life." He answered with a sad voice no 10 year old should have. "But some of us get lucky. The way they are lucky is because their family finds out where they are and well, help them escape. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't."

"That's horrible. How can someone do that." I whispered to myself thinking I was the only one that heard it.

"I don't know." Nick said obviously he heard me comment.

"Why are you here?" I asked him not knowing if he would comment.

"My family brought me here. They didn't want me." He said. I could tell he was about to cry so I just closed of the conversation and tried to go to sleep.

"Good night Nick. 'Night Jeff." I said to lighten up the mood knowing it wouldn't but wanting to try.

"Goodnight Max." Nick whispered. At that I feel asleep thinking about my Mum and Dad. Wishing I weren't here.

It had been 3 weeks later. Wings had started to sprout and I had a bad head ache so I was trying to sleep when I heard a bunch of banging. I looked up and saw Nick. Helpless lying on the floor getting kicked around by the white coats.

"NICK! Are you okay? STOP HURTING HIM! Hurt me and not him." They were not responding and Nick was looking worse. They had finally left accept one white coat. I started to try to get out of the cage.

"Hey, Max. It's Ari! Don't try to get out. I'll get you out." He whispered. Once I was out I bear hugged him and told him where Angel was. I walked over to Nick and looked him over to make sure he was okay.

"Nick, are you okay?" I asked him.

"Yeah." He mumbled in pain.

"What happened?" I asked him. I will never know the answer to that question because Ari picked me up and took me out of the room.

End Flashback

I will NEVER forget the Flock. Nick, especially. He was so nice and loving. I've regretted even stepping out of that room without them for the last 6 years. So that's pretty much my sad sob story but don't give me pity. I still don't know it he ever got out or not. He might be dead. At that thought I started to cry. No sob.

So, did u cry? Did you like it? I hope you did! Again sorry about not updating. I waz on vacation.
