Septiplier - The Man Who Had Wings

Chapter 1

Mark

I raced through the forest, my black-and-white wings folded neatly behind my back. Sweat was dripping down my face as low, thin tree branches whipped me. I heard faint voices in the distance, shouts to be exact, and footsteps. My heart nearly stopped from panic when I heard the wheels of a car and the roar of an engine.

Dammit! I thought, spreading out my wings, which were longer than my arm span. I flapped them, lifting me off the ground, and zoomed towards the cloudy gray sky. I flew above the clouds and kept a steady pace. Pretty soon, the shouts and car engine noises died away, and I could finally relax.

I did a somersault in the air, thinking about how cool it was that I had some awesome fucking wings. That's at least one thing that was–what I could call–good from those experiments. Human animal hybrids, I thought. Pretty wacky, but cool.

I was the last human hybrid experiment they made before they moved on to creating shapeshifting humans. Those experiments, however, weren't used on kids and teens like they did to me when I was 13. Now, they're using full grown adults. Mostly men, though, which I thought was kind of sexist. Women weren't as strong as men, but they were still agile and tough.

I ran my fingers through my red-dyed hair and began slowing down, then dipped and flew out of the clouds. I was flying over a small town, which was surrounded by a lush forest. At the far north of the town, there was a highway that most likely led to a city.

I decided that the forest was a good place to stay, so I tilted towards the direction of the eastern part of the forest. I made a quick but somewhat sloppy landing. My left wing hit a thick tree branch, so I awkwardly fell onto my side. Ugh, fuck.

I folded my wings and stood up. There was no way I could go into the town. I didn't have a hoodie or anything that I could hide my wings with; all I was wearing was a black t-shirt and jeans.

I'll have to lay low for a while, I thought, beginning to roam the beautiful forest. For now.

Suddenly, I felt a raindrop splash onto my nose. I groaned. "Great..."
