Bec’s Point of View[/glow]

The erasers led me back to my cage. My training session went overtime, it was really dark now and I could just see the shiny cage bars that passed me by as I walked back to my own prison cell. Well, that’s what I thought it was. I reached out my hand and touched the bars, they tickled my hand as they passed me, I watched the names on the cages go by as well: Kite, UR, Rick, Country, Azurai, Jem, Rain, Windy, Leaf, Kylee….
Then it came up to my cage, it said: Bec.
“Get in!” The eraser shoved me into my hell box and locked the door.
“Ow.” I felt my nose bash up against the back of my cage. I touched it, it was okay, but it hurt real bad.
“Bec, you back?” Snug’s voice called from above me. I was in the bottom row of cages, Snug’s cage was in the row on top of mine.
There was almost a hundred of us, all bird kids with wings, stuck in metal cages and being tested on everyday in a sick lab we called, ‘the school’.
We were mutants, and proud to be them.
“Yeah, I’m back alright.” I rubbed my nose,
“We were getting kinda worried, you know Bec.” A voice came from the back f my cage.
“AoD? Is that you?” I could recognise her voice anywhere,
“Yeah, tis me.”
“Training went overtime, gosh I’m so exhausted. I bet you one day I’m gonna black out on them!”
There was murmuring for a few seconds.
“I’m tired.” I spoke up, everyone hushed down a notch.
“Ofcourse you are,” Pitiful stuck her fingers through the bars and made me jump, she was in the cage to my left.
“Yeah. Come on lets sleep.” Kylee who was in a cage to my right, told us.
There was silence and I slumped back in my prison cell, wondering what the day will bring me tomorrow.

“Ah! Gosh, what the-!” I woke with a start, the lights had been turned on.
Then I realised that that was the daily ritual the erasers carried out to wake us up.
“Free day off.” The eraser walked along the cages with a clip board,
“Free day off.”
“Treadmill.” …
I whispered to Kylee, “I hope I get a free day off!”
The eraser got closer, “Bike.”
And closer, “Free day off.”
He got to Kylee, “Treadmill.”
I heard Kylee sigh and saw her furrow her brow.
“Free day off.” The eraser told me, I looked to Kylee. She gave me a funny kind of disappointed look and was grabbed from her cage by a pair of hairy hands. She was pushed away out of the room along with quite a few other winged experiments. I recognise some of them: Rain, Jem, UR, Kite, Azurai, Toaster, Misty, Ranna, Arya, Leo, Ace, Windy, and a few others.
I stared around the room. There were huge blobs of empty cages and speckles of cages with a bird experiment in them.
I looked into Kylee’s empty cage.
“Leafy!” I never knew the Leaf’s cage was two away from mine, but now I knew that Leaf was on the other side of Kylee’s cage.
“Heyo Becbec!” She smiled and grabbed the bars of her cage. She had opened her wings slightly.
They were a creamy-beige colour. Very pretty.
“You look, - a little sad…” I told her, she sent me a slightly sad look,
“Rain’s out training and so is Jem, and Windy. Even Kylee’s gone so there’s no one in the cages around me to talk to…” She added, “Apart from you, but you’re still so far away from me.”
I peered at the cages around her, to Leaf’s right was a cage marked ‘Jem’, above her, a cage marked ‘Rain’ and I supposed that the cage behind her was Windy’s for I could not see the name.
“Aww, Leafy!” I pushed my fingers through the bars of my cage, and she pushed hers through too. There was no way we were going to reach, but I just wanted to let her know that I’m not that far away from her.
“Be-e-c-c-y~y~y!” Pitiful whined from my left,
“Aha. What’s up now?” I asked as I turned to face her, her cheek was pushed up against the cage, and she was gazing up at me.
“I’m bored.” She perked upright,
“I think we all are.” Snug scoffed, “I wish we got to train with guns and flamethrowers so we could zap and shoot people and then we’d know how to scorch them until they squirm and -”
“Calm down Snug! I bet we all wished we had guns and flamethrowers.” AoD cut her off.
I giggled.
“What?!” Snug and AoD peered at me.
I coughed and straightened up, “Umm, nothing.”
“AHH!”
The door burst open with a loud ‘Bang!’

Kite’s Point of View[/glow]

Great.
So while I’m strapped onto a treadmill with nowhere to go but forwards, the majority of the rest of us (The mutant bird kids) are having a free day off!
Sometimes I really doubt if these ‘erasers’ and ‘whitecoats’ have feelings, or even if they have souls.
How long will they make me run on this wretched treadmill? Hours probably, I wouldn’t be surprised if they made me run the whole day.
“Let’s take a blood test.” A female whitecoat pulled out a needle and jabbed it into me.
I squirmed a little, it actually stung! The other whitecoats held me still while she freely pulled some of my blood out.
“Thankyou Kite.” The whitecoat grinned evilly, ever since they’d started using our real names, I’ve grown to regret it. Well I guess it’s better than “Experiment 6hytxx92”. - That was my old number.
I scowled at her.
Then they pushed me off into another room where they started doing other tests like blood pressure and heart beat.
These people were obsessed freaks. You know what I mean?!
“Okay Kite. Let’s get you onto the treadmill. Going for a nice jog to start off with hey?” The female whitecoat was back.
I scowled harder.
They plugged a heart-rate monitor up to me and they shoved me onto the treadmill. There was an eraser just behind me who held a shiny long stick.
“Want to test the toy out first?” he chuckled as he zapped me with the shiny stick, I had seen this stick before. Many times before. The zaps burnt like mad, and the longer the zap the more painful the after-burn is.
I sighed in pain then broke into a jog, the treadmill got faster.
How long will I have to go on like this? This place was a danger zone, a prison.
No, who am I kidding?This place was hell on earth.

Here is the next chapter! lol ;D

[glow=red,2,300]Chapter 2

Pitiful’s Point of View[/glow]

Bang! Went the door.
There were a few variations of “Eeek!”s and “Ahh!”s that came from the winged experiments.
An eraser burst through the doors and roared.
He stalked up the aisle of cages and glared at all of us.
“Who-o-o played with the plugs behind the heart rate monitor and set them at a constant eighty-per-minute?”
‘Oh god.’ I thought, that was me, AoD, Snug and Bec.
Bec was in the cage beside mine, I saw her squirm a little. AoD and Snug for that matter were perfectly still. Snug was frowning, but still smiling. AoD held a straight face.
The eraser spun around the room. Glowering at every little winged experiment.
I snorted.
Now this was funny! You should see the look on the hairy guys face!
“Shhh!” Bec sent me a shocking look to keep to myself.
Snug stared down at me from an angle.
The eraser stormed up our aisle once more.
He glared at us with his one hand on his hip and the other pointed to us, “I’m gonna find you out.” He pointed to all the other experiments in the room, “- Oh I’ll get ya you little grubby birds. Filthy, slimy…” The eraser muttered dirty words under his breath as he trampled back out. Sending the doors swinging on a high-pitched note.
I sighed and relaxed back into the back left corner of my cage.
“Snug? Bec?” Leaf whispered to Bec from a few cages away, “Did you do that?” she smiled,
Bec looked up to Snug and bit her lip.
“Yes, us four.”
Leaf stared at Bec and Snug, and then started laughing. She laughed so much that she was rolling on the floor literally dying of laughter.
I sent AoD a funny look. Her eyes lit up and she started to laugh too.
Then the disease spread to Snug, Bec and I, and soon we were also rolling on the floor of our cages laughing our guts out.
Or at least that’s what it seemed like.
AoD started to cough and she sat up straight. The laughing stopped as AoD coughed for another ten seconds.
My smile faded.
Snug spoke up, “Are you alright?”
AoD’s coughing subsided, “Yeah, just so much laughter… That’s all.”
There was still silence as we gazed at her inquisitively.
“Honestly.” She started again, “Why are you staring at me like that?”
I turned away, “Glad you’re alright. I was getting scared.” I fiddled with my fingers.
Bec slumped against her cage door so she could see all of us.
Snug sighed, “That was a close call.”
I giggled yet again.

[Ranna]

[BeccyMwa]

Shade’s Point of View.[/glow]

I sighed and sat cross-legged on the floor of my cage. Across from me I could see Bec, Pitiful, Snug, Leaf and a tiny bit of AoD. They were quietly muttering stuff to each other. Leaf giggled.
“Shade? You alright?” I jerked upright at the sound of Fallen’s voice echoing up to my cage.
“Yeah, yeah. I’m alright.”
“Come on… You know you can talk to us. Is something bothering you?” SK called from my right. I looked down at Fallen, then back to SK.
“I’m fine.” I looked back out infront of me, “- Perfectly.”
SK sighed and I heard Fallen tap her fingernails on the metal bars of her cage below me.
I turned to SK, “Actually I’m not fine. It’s just that everyday, I wonder when and even sometimes how we can get outta this… - Jail.”
SK nodded.
“Join the club Shade. We’ve got jackets AND muffins just for you.” Fallen called from below me.
I raised my eyebrows at SK, who simply smiled and chuckled, “Don’t we all wonder about that Shade. Don’t worry you aren’t alone.”
“Do you think… that one day, someone will lead us outta here?” There was silence.
I looked out of my cage that was up quite high and gazed down at Bec, Pitiful, Snug, Leaf and AoD.
“Someday… someone will lead us out.”
“Better be some good frickin’ leader to pull that stunt off!” Fallen added.
I scowled to myself. Fallen was a cheeky one, and how could I ever live without her?
I felt the whole room jump as five white-coats burst in the doors with trays of sloppy food.
“Lunch time already? Geez!” Fallen exclaimed as the whitecoats shoved a bowl of slop into our cages.
“What is it?” SK asked,
“Omelette, mash potatoes and vegetables.” The whitecoat grunted, and carried on,
“Filled with yummy vitamins for growing bodies like yours.” A female with big friendly eyes added as she passed us too, she stopped a metre away from us the came back.
“Salt? Pepper?” She held up a couple of sachets of salt and pepper.
I was all-round shocked and surprised. Why would someone offer us salt or pepper to put on our meals? Who ever cared for us?
“Umm…” I looked uneasily at SK,
“I’m new here and I am head of the winged experiment’s welfare. I’m also here to help you.”
Fallen scoffed, “Took you a long time. I’ve been here since I was a baby and have never had a ‘Winged Experiment’s Welfare’ person come around giving me salt and pepper!”
“Fallen!” SK whispered.
The lady laughed, and pushed the salt and pepper sachets into SK’s cage, “Enjoy. There’s plenty for all of you.” Then she walked away,
SK backed away from the sachets.
“SK, It’s okay they’re just paper.” I told her, SK started to edge towards the salt and pepper sachets. She sniffed them.
“This one doesn’t smell that good!” She tossed the pepper into my cage. I sniffed it and threw it out onto the floor. It landed right infront of Leaf’s cage. Leaf grabbed it and grinned up at me.
“Pepper!” She exclaimed.
Bec turned to her, “Where did you get that?”
“Shade chucked it out. It landed infront of my cage!” Leaf opened it with large shining eyes. She tipped a little onto her lunch, a small cloud of it wafted up.
She sneezed cutely and we couldn’t help but laugh.

[lya4c]

that's really good, Beccy *claps*

[BeccyMwa]

*bows* Me thanks you for your such kind words.

Here is another chappi

Rain’s Point of View[/glow]

Now, I am really annoyed! Well, along with the other few mutants just like myself who don’t get a free day off.
I’ve been flying for… what, like four hours now!! Well, at least I’d rather be here, flying whist being pulled back but an elasticised string (So that we don’t fly away. Pfft!) then being on the treadmill.
I loathed the treadmill, mainly because my legs get tired more easily than my wings and the shiny stick you get zapped with really burns afterwards. I still remember peop-… Well, mutants telling me afterwards how bad the burns on my back were, it took ages till they healed.
“You’re dragging behind Rain!” the eraser yelled from below me.
Another thing I loathed, erasers and whitecoats that now use your real names.
‘It must be about one o’clock already!’ I thought as I pushed my wings down, and up then down and up once more, ‘And I’m getting real hungry!’
I turned my head to one side and took a good look at my wings, what a beautiful goldeny-chestnut colour they were. Matched my hair I guess.
“Umm… hey, umm -” the scientist tapped the eraser’s shoulder.
“WHAT?!?! Whadda you want?” the eraser spat.
“Heart rate is way above normal. So high that its impossible for any normal human to get that high. It isn’t safe we must pull her down and get her food and drink right away.”
“Aw, come on! There are plenty more birds in the world -”
“No! And that’s my final words. Get her down.”
The eraser grunted and tugged the string. I jerked and dropped to the ground.
My feet touched the earth once again, then my full body weight was put onto my feet.
My vision went blurry and my legs caved in from beneath me.
I felt my face hit the ground.
“See!? We should’ve gotten her off earlier!” The whitecoat rushed over, I tried standing up.
For some reason this whitecoat was willing to help me. He pulled me up and I stabilized myself on my two feet, but to fail by taking a dizzy step and tripping over my ankle.
“Owie-owie-owie…”
“Dr. Stefanoni!!!” the whitecoat called,
“I’m fine, really.” I found myself telling the whitecoat as I attempted to stand up once again. A brutal pain shot through my body, coming from my ankle.
The whitecoat sat me back down.
“Stay here Rain.” The whitecoat got up and called once again, “Dr. Stefanoni!!”
I grasped my ankle. So much flying, I wasn’t used to being on the ground walking again. I found myself asking myself, “Who is ‘Dr. Stefanoni’?”
After thirty short seconds, a young lady with big shining eyes came and kneeled down next to me.
“Hi, I’m Dr. Stefanoni, but you can call me Mel.” She spoke calmly.
I didn’t answer. What was I supposed to say?
“I’m the new head of the winged experiments welfare and I’m here to look after you.” She felt my ankle to see if I’d broken anything, “Luckily, it’s just a sprain. Here, how about I take you back to your little room to rest?”
I still didn’t answer her.
She sighed and lifted me up.
She walked through the swinging doors into a room full of cages. I recognised this room straight away, it was where all of the winged experiments were kept.
“Rain!” Leaf exclaimed from a distance.
I was stared upon by many pairs of beady eyes, most of which I knew.
Mel put me into my cage gently and I sat cross legged on the floor.
“What’s wrong? Why are you back so early?” Fangrock called from opposite me, Fangrock, Suriel, Graceful, Gone-Mad, Fast-cars, Maddie and Protector were watching me from their cages.
“I-I was out flying and they made me come down and I hurt my ankle.” I stared down at my foot. It looked a little red.
“Aww!” Leaf pushed her fingers through the bars of her cage.
I pushed mine through too, they could almost touch…

[Ranna]

Graceful’s Point of View[/glow]

“Do you think it was the eraser’s fault?” Maddie asked,
“What do you mean?” Fangrock asked, “Eraser’s fault for what?”
“That Rain hurt her ankle.”
“Who knows? It might’ve been a training accident.” I added,
“Mmm, yeah.” Fast-cars agreed.
I lifted my cheek off the side of my cage.
Gone-mad laughed at me.
“What?” I asked, “Why are you laughing?”
“Psst, Graceful!” Suriel bumped my cage, “Gone-mad’s always on a high.”
“Yeah, I know that Gone-mad’s always on a high, but what’s so funny?”
“Nothing.” Gone-mad answered, “It’s just that you’ve been leaning on the side of your cage so long that you have bar marks pressed into the side of your cheek.”
I touched my face, I could feel the bumps.
“Great.”
“Lets see.” Protector asked. I turned my head her way.
She laughed then sighed and I put my head into my hands.
“The good thing about free-days off is that you don’t have to do any training. But the bad thing is that there’s nothing to do, being cooped up in these shiny prison cells!” I exclaimed, ending it with a large, long sigh.
“Oh but there’s heaps of things to do!” Maddie told me,
“Like what? Tell us Maddie.” Suriel asked her,
“Li-i-i-ke… I spy!”
Gone-mad, Fast-cars, Fangrock, Suriel, Protector and I all groaned in unison.
“Hey! What’s so bad about I spy?” Maddie asked happily,
“We’ve played that every-single night since we were placed in cages next to each other!” Gone-mad exclaimed,
“Anyone got any other suggestions?” Fangrock asked.
There was a slight pause.
“Twister!” Maddie exclaimed.
The rest of us all groaned in unison…

[lya4c]
