Experiments

Chapter 2

Eve POV
Everyday. Everyday, i'm told to fly faster, faster, faster. Run girl, run. Higher higher higher! Even if i do, even if i fly till the end of my chain, even if i go so fast i'm a blur, I get beat. Lately they have been threatening to cut my hair. While the tips of my hair remained my natural pale blonde, it started to grow in silver, the same color as my wings and eyes. I have a chain that is wrapped around my ankle all of the time, even when I sleep. It is made of a, surprise surprise, silver cord, and it seems to be one seamless loop, no lock, no key, nothing. When they take me to the training grounds, it is attached to another chain, that one made of heavy steel loops, and that chain is long, so so long, that i can fly until i am just above the clouds.

I am the only one that can fly, here. There are nine of us, but they have told us to expect one more soon. Who are we? First there is Primrose. Her operation gave her antlers, and somehow also gave her some power over plants. She has to wear special gloves all of the time, so that her power remains under their control.

Second is Avaline. Her operation gave her cat ears, cat fur, a tail and claws. Her claws are always clipped. Whenever she gets her claws clipped, she remains in pain for a few days until they grow back a little bit. Her hands and feet are pretty normal, but they had kind of a paw pad texture to them. While she does walk on two feet most of the time, occasionally she'll walk on all fours, and her behavior is completely cat-like.

Third up is Maybelle. She is one of the three mermaids here at the facility. Her fin is a lavender color. Aurora and Marine are the two other mermaids here. Marine has a blue fin, and Aurora has a rainbow fin.

Sixth is Sapphire. Sapphire is the most powerful of all of us. She has pure white hair, glacial blue eyes, and swirling snowflakes tattoos all over her body. She can control snow. She wears gloves, hand cuffs, and a blindfold at all times. Sometimes we thing that the doctors are afraid of her, but none of us can bring it up without risking a beating.

Seventh is Ivory. Ivory is mute. Not by choice, the doctors removed her vocal cords. They replaced them with mermaid vocals, or like a siren song. Okay, i guess she is kind of mute by choice, but if she talks we will all be put under her spell. She had to wear a gag, until they realized she wasn't going to talk anyways and just let her walk around. Along with her voice, she had bluish skin and webbed hands. Her hair is pure white.

Eighth is Lilla. Now I know i said nobody else can fly, but that doesn't mean i'm the only one with wings. Lilla is only six, and she has fluffy purple wings. I coudln't fly until i was twelve. So i'm not the only one with wings, but i am the only one who can fly. We live in a bunkhouse. Recently, one more bed has been prepared. We wonder what the new girl will be like, and what kind of operation she will have. You might be wondering about the facility. None of us know much about it, really. We have no memories from before our operations. What we have managed to piece together is that we were taken from somewhere and brought here. Ugh. Look how crazy i am, talking to myself. I should stop now...Lilla needs me.
