Forever or Never

Fugitives

Jan's POV~

CLUNK!

The door to the dark room we were caged in swung open, and John-the manager of the MSA strutted in with 3 white coats behind him.  His son Michael was the Extenguisher leader.

For a moment he stood, staring at us.

Were cameras trained on us when we digussed a break-out?

"I heard a squeal" he finally said.

Louis looked down.

John slowly went over to Lou's crate and stooped.

Louis scramble as far away as he could, fear filling his face.

"You know" John started.  "I could decide to retire you..."

Sweat poured from Lou's forehead as his fingers clenched.

"You scared?" John grasped the bars of the crate and stood up.

i guess our hollow bones made us incredibly light.

"I kow you are" John went on-holding up carrots just out of Lou's reach.

Hurt, i watched as Louis licked his lips and tried to decide if it was possible to grab one.

But with a bang the doctor threw Lou's cage across the room.

The up side? The cage door flew open.  Down side? As Louis limped out of the cae, i noticed his hair was suddenly wet and red.

Oh, i would kill John.

"Louis!" i screamed.

"Jannice..."his words seemed muddied.

At once, those three whitecoats ran to catch him, but Lou's wings snapped out making them all stop.

It was hard to tell in the dark, but his beautiful wings were like brown and white striped.

But the oohing and ahhing of 'course lasted only a second before the scientists charged after him.

"Up and away" he spit blood from his mouth, took off running, and jumped-flapping his wings.

Lily and i exchanged astonished looks as he flew down and grabbed John.  Did i mention we are incredibly strong?

With lighting speed, he ran John's finger along all our locks and we were all tumbling out.

This was it-do or die.  i chose do as my arms flew to fighting stance.  i had no idea how i would do on a stomach that only had about 7 sips of probably blended up guys of failed experiments--i kid you not.

The whitecoats immediately ran at us, but with them not being genetically engineered like us, well, let's just say we were running through the halls in no time.

Mysteriously, though, John had disappeared.

Was it real?  Was i really escaping with my flock?

"HOLT"

My eyes grew as i skidded to a sttop.  Michael.

"Um" i stepped in front of the others.

If someone had to die, it'd be me.

"Excuse me?" i laughed nervously, but his face quickly morphed into a wolf, along with his arms.  i was nasty.

You think you'e seen bad?  No, you haven't.

His big furry paws grabbed my arm and swung me around so i was in a very painful armlock.

Pain is just a message, came the same voice from earlier.
