Experiments

Chapter 19

A/N:um. Heeyyy. *awkwardly says hello after awkward silence* YEAH LETS DO THIS LETS WRITE A CHAPTER!!!!!!!!

**************

Eve POV

I have to escape. This is torture.

"MOMMY MOMMY MAKE HER DO THE THIIING" The little girl, Vanessa her name was, cried. Vanessa. Her name should be something more like WHINY BITCH in my opinion.

"Evelyn dear, do the thing or no dinner." Her mother cooly told me. I sighed. Not like i could protest. I flapped my wings once, twice, three times, and on the third flap sparkles exploded from my wings, leaving me exhausted. Vanessa giggled. Her mother smiled fondly at the little girl.

"Alright Vanessa, time for ballet practice. Leave the bird alone dear." She said. She grabbed the small girls hand and led her out of the room. I heard the click of the lock as the door was closed behind them. And again we were trapped. I turned to look at the small, furry, sleeping figure beside me. I poked her and with a claws out and tail fluffed start she jumped up. She looked at me with wide eyes. I clasped my hands together and hoped that what i was about to do would work. I concentrated on the magic in my heart and spread my hands. The words 'My name is Eve' were left glowing there. Her eyes went wide, and she gave me a sharp, fang filled grin. Extending a claw, she went over to the wall of the small, bare room we were kept in and scribbled something. I went over to read it and, after a moment spent deciphering the, ahem, cat scratch, i was able to read it.

'Elzia' it said.

"What an odd name" i thought to myself as i read it. Elzia. Well, not like i could ever be able to say it ever. My fingers wandered to the large scar across my throat. Had hey really cut out my voice? Was I really doomed to live this quiet life forever? A tear fell down my cheek as i thought of all the nights I had spent singing to Lilla to help her sleep. Her favorite song had been the sunshine one. Oh, how she loved to hear Eve sing that. She would always fall asleep with a smile on her face when i sang that, right as i would sing 'Please don't take, my sunshine, away...'. More tears followed the first and soon, i was crying silently on the floor. Elzia came and put a hand, or was it a paw, on my shoulder and used another to wipe some of the tears off my face. Yes, we were trapped. But at least I wasn't alone.

Paige POV

Eve. I thought of her silver wings. Was she okay? Was she alive? I hoisted my bag again over my shoulder. We had started on our journey that morning, heading out into the woods to the nearest city, where we would try to steal a car. Only GIll had been able to drive before being taken into the facility so he would be the one to find us a car to drive. All the rest of us had been taken in at a very young age. We remembered basic things about the world but none of us could remember anything about our families, or if we had even had families. But we didn't care about that now or at least, I didn't. All I could think of was Eve. Innocent, sweet Eve. What had the girl gotten herself into? What if she had been captured by the facility again?

No, Paige, then at least she would be safe. I thought to myself.

In my bag was food and a sleeping bag and a change of clothes or two. Gill I think had the other supplies, and the rest were carrying more food or clothes. Ahead of me, I saw Gill raise his hand.

Stop.

I peeked around him and saw the buildings of the small town near us. The kind of place you might pass through on a road trip, but not really a big tourist destination. People bustled to and fro, shopping, working, completely unaware of the band of rejected experiments lurking in the woods a distance away from them. Gill turned and spoke.

"We'll wait until night and then see if we can find a car that someone left unlocked. If we can't. well, we'll have to break a window then i guess." At that, he sat on a tree stump near him and closed his eyes for a bit. I guess we had a while to hang around. I should have brought a book with me.
