Nereza (was that her name?) POV
I'm healing. I am getting stronger. I have been hiding in the woods now for what feels like days. My body aches from all the tests and experiments they have done on me. I will make sure they PAY. My wings....a girl in the facility, she has them, I saw....it is simply a matter of time before I take them back.

Eve 2 POV
Purple....silly how a color can can bring me so much pain, but when I see purple I don't see the color. Instead, I see a small, laughing face...A pair of fluffy purple wings...Violet eyes, so young, the innocence ripped from them far too early. Then I...I feel her blood again, warm and sticky on my hands and skin. I see the life draining from her eyes and I-I feel her small, so small, cold body, in my arms again. I see the fatal wound in her throat again, the blood..so much blood. It was all over me. I can't stop it. It just keeps coming. A little girl shouldn't have this much blood! Her eyes snap open and stare into mine. Vivid violet and silver meet.
"You're not Eve." A small, cold voice says. My heart was pounding in my chest.
"N-n-no...you, you're dead!" I exclaimed. Her eyes continued to stare piercingly into mine.
"You're. Not. Eve.". At that, small, but powerful hands gripped my throat. I screamed and....

Jolted awake. My heart pounded against my chest and I was drenched in sweat. My wings were awkwardly splayed about me. Gasping, I realized I had been holding my breath. Another nightmare. I touched my face, it was covered in tears, old and new, fresh ones falling every second. How many more nightmares before i forgot what it was like to hold the dying little girl in my arms, to feel her blood on me...the metallic scent that just would not go away.
Breathe, Eve. I told myself. Breathe.

Paige POV
It has been ages it seems, since we started the hunt for Eve. We had found absolutely nothing. Nada. Zip. Zero. Zilch. But we CANNOT lose hope now! I took a swig from my water bottle, stolen from the nearby town, and turned my eyes to the sky, squinting against the bright sun.
"Hey, Paigey!" I heard Gill call. I turned towards him to see he was holding something up in the air. I squinted again trying to get a better look at what he was holding. I gasped and broke in to a sprint towards him to confirm what I had seen. Snatching it from his hand, I held it preciously in my own. In my hands was a single, dirty, silver feather.
