Silver (A Ninjago Maximum Ride Crossover)

Chapter 3: Like Me

'Silver's POV'

I'm awaken early in the morning by the sound of my cages door opening. I stand up and see only one white coat, he tosses a body into my cage. I realize who it is as soon as her pale face is in my line of vision.

"Julia!"

The white coat doesn't say or do anything else before he locks my cage and walks away.

I hold Julia on my lap and examine her. By now, they've already put her in the same outfits that the rest of us wear; they're short, pastel blue, hospital gowns, and they have pants instead of just being a dress.

I can't see anything on any of her skin that isn't covered by her clothes. I sit there for a while, wondering what they planed to do with her.

Julia's eyes begin to open, slowly revealing her dark brown eyes

"S-silver..." She shivers and lets out a stutter. She begins sitting up, almost as if trying to show me something

"Julia, what is it?" I ask. She turns away from me and shows me her back. Covering the top part of her back are big, bloody cuts, two of them. They run vertically down her shoulder blades. My eyes widen and I cover my mouth with my hand

"Silver, what did they do to me?" I can hear the tears in her eyes.

I can only assume, but I assume that she's going to become part hawk, like myself. I don't remember it, but a few years ago, I had asked Lilian what I'd looked like before they turned me into a monster. She told me that she'd only had a glimpse, but my hair was once dark brown, and my eyes were the same colour as they are now; bright blue.

She also told me what I had looked like while they were transforming me into what I am now, and Julia fits the description perfectly, other then the fact that her hair isn't changing colour.

"J-Julia..." The words get caught in my throat. She covers her back again and turns to me "you're going to become part hawk..." I close my eyes, I don't want to see her reaction

"So, I'll be like you?" Her question catches me off-guard. I'd expected her to be bawling. I open my eyes and she's looking at my wings, which rest, folded down behind my back

"Y-yeah... You will..." I answer slowly. She smiles and hugs me tightly

"At least you'll be here to help me..." She whispers quietly. I rest one arm around her back, while the other pets down her hair

"I will always be here for you, Julia." I feel her breath start to slow down, she's falling asleep. I let my head fall against one of the bars of my cage. My eyes fall shut and I fall asleep...

~~~

The next morning, I'm waken up by screaming again, but it isn't Julia. I open my eyes and see Lilian being forced out of her cage. Julia is off of my lap and watches helplessly as they force her out of the cage doors

"Lilian!!" I scream, standing up and pounding against the door of my cage

"Quiet down!!" One of the white coats points his taser gun at me

"No, let her go!!"

He shoots it, but not at me. His shot hits Julia in the stomach "you should've listened" he smirks wickedly

I immediately fall to my knees and cradle her small body in my arms. I don't cry, I won't cry, I won't let them break me like this.

The white coats eventually force Lilian out of her cage, they take her away.

Dez watches me as I kneel on the cold, metal ground, and rock Julia back and forth.

"So, did you figure out what they're going to make her yet?" He asks
