One in the Same - Hunger

Natalie slowed and listened to the wind. She couldn't hear anything for miles. She cursed her blind eyes and the people that made them useless and sprinted forward. She stopped after a few more miles and listened. She was about to swear again when she heard the faintest sound of a car. She bolted in the direction of the sound and thanked God, if he really existed.

She then heard another sound, which made her swear again. Her stomach growled and she growled at it, cursing her luck and the god she just thanked. She ran in the direction of the road, in hopes that someone would be kind enough to buy a meal for a blind girl with black nails and spotted arms.

Her stomach grumbled loudly again. She swore loudly at the air and mentally told herself to cut down on the swearing. Man, was she hungry…

Jaedon panted and put Julia down in the sand. His throat was parched and his skin was burning in the blistering sun. He coughed dryly and sat down, pulling his knees to his chest. Julia wrapped her arms around his shoulders and rubbed his back. He put his fingers on her throat and felt the vibrations as she hummed their special song.

Jaedon sighed and was giving into his tiredness when he reminded himself that Julia couldn't walk on her own, so he couldn't cop out on her. He stroked her hair as they baked in the scorching sun. When his head felt light and he was unable to stay awake any longer, Julia shook him violently.

Someone is coming this way. She signed. Through the air.

Jaedon's eyes widened and he looked behind him. But it's coming from the School. You can't trust it.

Julia ignored his warning and waved her hands in the air. As the figure came closer, Jaedon saw wings flapping in the air, proving this wasn't someone trying to take them back; this was another escapee! The figures wings were so large, they almost covered the sun from Jaedon's sight.

Jaedon got up and waved his hands in the air when he felt an annoying sensation in his stomach. Empty. He thought.

Julia smiled at him sympathetically. I'm hungry too. She signed.

Jaedon laughed and continued waving his arms. Man, was he hungry…

Talia flew as fast as her huge wings could take her. She was like a beacon in the air, so she needed to get away as fast as possible. If they downed her, she was doomed, as she couldn't run.

She went as high as possible so that no one could see her and then she flew forward at the speed of a cheetah. Her wings beat the sky as the scientists had beaten her so many times. Her hair blew in her face and she got a sensation that she had only had once before…

Freedom.

The last time she escaped, he had a friend with her, who ended up betraying her for her own freedom. The girl who betrayed her was betrayed by the very people who had promised her freedom. They were punished severely and starved for days. They no longer acted like friends or even acquaintances. They were enemies after that. Soon, the other girl was terminated because she wasn't able to survive certain things.

Talia pushed away the memory and flew through the desert, hating the scorching sun on her back. She smiled and did a few loop-de-loops in the sky and laughed her heart out. There was no one to betray her or to stop her now.

Then she suddenly saw two figures, off in the distance, waving their arms. They were either insane people thinking she was a plane or they were more kids from the school who didn't have wings and were trying to escape.

She dove close to the ground and flew a mere twenty fee from the ground. Her wings were touching the ground on the down stroke, but she didn't mind. She suddenly felt something in her stomach and heard a grumbling sound. She muttered a curse and hoped she could hold it back. Man, was she hungry…

Logan panted and tried to keep up with his frantic brother. He wasn't sure why they still had to run so fast; they were already far enough for the school to disappear into the distance.

"Eathan…" Logan let go of his hand and fell into the sand, breathing heavily. "Why… Why do we have to run that fast?..."

Eathan sat next to Logan, putting an arm around him. Come to think of it, he was pretty tired too. "We need to make sure they don't catch us again."

"But… But I'm tired…"

"Okay, okay, let's just rest for a few minutes," Eathan shifted into a comfortable position. "But then we need to keep moving."

A few minutes later, Logan was softly snoring peacefully and Eathan kept glancing carefully in the direction of the school. Eathan sighed and was about to sleep when he looked back and saw two people walking over. They were far away, but that didn't really matter.

"Logan!" Eathan jerked his brother as he whispered as loud as possible. "Come on!"

Logan's tired eyes fluttered open and he yawned loudly. "What is it?" He asked in a childish voice.

"We need to go!" Eathan helped his brother up. "They're coming!"

"But…" Logan looked and saw the two white coats walking towards them. "Do we have to run?" He looked helplessly at Eathan.

"Sorry, buddy." They ran as fast as they were still capable of, until Logan's stomach made a low, growling sound. They slowed and Logan whimpered. "I'm hungry…"

"So am I, but we have to keep going. Maybe we can get food when we get there."

So they continued to run. Eathan muttered a curse under his breath. Man, was he hungry…
