Broken Bird

Chapter 5

"Did she just say D-Dragon?" Amber yelped, jumping away. "That would be ASH Dragon to you!" the reptile said. "Insignificant low life." Ash said. "Ash Dragon, Calm down." Nick said. Ash rose in futile. "Calm down? Calm down! She just tried to sit on me!" Yowled the reptile. "We are trying to hide, want to be found?" Nick said to her, giving her a cold glare. That seemed to make her shut up and she laid back down. "who are they anyway?" She said. "Mutants like us." Nick replied. " This is my sister, Aria. A winged one like me." I fluffed out my wings, reluctently. "Ah, so your the sister hes always talking about, good for you."

Nick went on introducing us to the dragon. There was something weird about her. I could feel it. Later that night I found it out, she could change her size! She looked cuter in her big form, now she was small and looked as if she could destroy the house if you made her mad enough. We where talking about an escape plan when Amber just wouldn't be quite. Ash was sitting right next to her and kept glaring at her, eventually she snapped. "Would you just shut up! seriously!" She yelled at Amber. Amber went to pick her up when she screamed, Ash bit her finger off! "Ow! It hurts!" Amber yowled in pain. "Dang right it does!" then she started to shift again, into a human.

She was a averaged size teen. brown hair, blue eyes, with some really ripped up jeans and T-shirt.
"Whoa!" I said "You can turn human?" I asked. "Yeah, and?" She said. "Its just, we didn't know you could turn, uh, human." we all looked at each other, except Nick who seemed to know. "Yes, every time I consume something of the human anatomy I can turn human." We all gawked at her, completely dumbfounded. "You all look as if I'm the only weirdo here." she scowled at us all with a look of disgusted

"Sorry" We all said in unison. It's true we all had different features. But none of us could transform like that. Sure me and Nick had wings. And Tim had his hard skull. But it seemed normal. Amber and Chase had there powers but still no transformation. We quickly finished going over the plan and finally after coming to a conclusion we laid down to sleep.

At about 4am I was awoken by a noise in the house. I sat up slowly and examined my surroundings, thanks to my night vision I could see a figure sitting by the door. Looking at my watch I realized how early it was and decided to get up. "Hello?" I said quietly and the figure jumped. "A-Aria? What are you doing up so early? You should be resting." I realized who it was. "Tim, you should know I can never really sleep long." I got up and carefully walked over to him. "yeah yeah" he said as I sat down next to him.

We were silent for a long while, enjoying the company of each other before Tim spoke. "Aria." he spoke softly. "how did you manage to escape the lab, and the white coats.." I looked at him, terrified by how soft his voice was. "what?" I know you heard me Aria." He said a little harder. I thoughy for a moment before speaking. "I would rather not talk about it." I said quietly.

"Aria, you can tell me." He said scooting closer to me. I tensed up and started to stand when he grabed my hand. "Aria please, I thought you died. Least you can tell me is how you got out." I pulled my hand free and backed away. "I said I don't want to talk about it Tim. Please, stop asking."

He got up to try and calm me but I didn't hear what he said. I ran out the door and took to the sky before one word was said. All that ran through my head was what happend that night. How I heard all the screams and how I couldn't help anyone.

Hey everyone sorry i haven't updated... a lot happened and I decided not to do it anymore. But someone advised me to continue so I finished up this chapter.. the first part of the chapter was written when I desided to stop it. So it's a bit sloppy. But chapters will get better. I will try to upload a chapter once a week and chapters won't be as long. Till the next chapter, i will be answering questions from the comments and taking suggestions!
