My lungs burned. But I can't stop.

They'll capture me if I do and I can't go back. I can't go through it again.

"Come on little piggy. Stop fighting and come quiet it'll be a lot easier on you." One of the erasers said. He's the one in charge of me and Antwon. Making sure we don't escape. He failed.

Your probably confused. Let me start from the beginning.

My name is Persephone. Nobody knows that though and I can't tell anybody. But the scientist call me Subject sixteen. (A/N what up Assassin Creed 2 reference. (What up iisuperwomanii reference))

During one of the many experiments they conducted on me, they messed up, miscalculated, and almost killed me. They ripped up my vocal cords, scarring me for life, mentally and physically. I have a lot of bad experiences from that place but that's the worst. Anyways they took away my voice. I'm mute.

Antwon is my best friend. We've always been friends. We grew up in dog crates next to each other. I've never really known anybody else though.

Except... Well a really long time ago, before I lost my voice, there were these kids like us- with wings, I mean- and after one of my operations, they put me back in the room with dog crates and they were gone. I asked Antwon what happened to them but he said they were gone before his operation was over too. I always assumed that they had just died. It happens at The School.

Antwon has caramel colored skin, the curliest dark brown hair, vibrant green eyes that I love to stare at and he talks a lot, but since I can't talk, I love it. He also has dark brown wings, a little darker then his hair.

I have a beach tan skin color, untamable, messy, black hair that reaches my lower back, with sea green eyes and I have black wings.

Now back to the present, we finally escaped the school and flew away. They found us and we didn't realize it until it was to late. Since they have a choppers we can't fly away unless we want our wings torn off from the powerful winds that the blades make. Not wanting to be in excruciating pain we decided to run instead of fly.

Although we can run a lot longer then a regular person, we can't run forever. Plus the winds from the choppers isn't  making it any better. We need to lose these erasers and fast 'cause I'm running low on stamina.

I saw a small canyon up ahead. The wind from the choppers shouldn't reach the bottom. Then all we have to do is deal with is the erasers.

I tapped Antwon on the shoulder and pointed at the canyon. He looked over, confusion filling his tired face. Then he realized what I meant and nodded his head. We changed the direction we were running towards the canyon.

When we reached the canyon we climbed a little of the way down, then when the winds weren't as strong we kicked off the wall and flew. The eraser copied our motions. Except they kicked off sooner and with their wings being more powerful then ours, they could do it without having their wings torn off from the wind.

I was tired and exhausted. I could make it much longer. I was slowing down and the eraser were getting faster to me and catching up.

Then I felt something dig into my left wing. I silently cried out in pain. I looked back to see an eraser right behind me with blood on his claws. I felt warm liquid drown my feathers as I fell to the ground. I nearly blacked out from the pain. But I was determined not to get captured.
