'Alert! Alert! Subject Escaping! I repeat subject escaping!'... I was running down the long white corridors of what has been my prison for the last I don't know how many years. But now the lights have tinted the white walls red, alerting the scientists that one of their precious experiments is escaping. Yes you heard me right. Experiment. That is what I am. The scientist in this building kidnapped me when I was at least ten. I am now in my twenties and trying to escape this horrid place. The scientists in this place were trying to make an avian hybrid just like in the book 'Maximum Ride'. Well guess what? They succeeded. I am an avian hybrid with wings. My bones are light and I have the exact anatomy of Max from the book I mentioned. The people here are crazy. Trying to train me like a dog but I always resisted them. They wanted to make me into some fighting machine but that's not who I am. I've been beaten so many times for not doing as they wanted me too but at this moment that no longer matters. I see the door that leads to the outside world right at the end of the hall. The slapping noise my bare feet made on the tile floor became more rapid. I burst through the doors and ran for the woods at the other end of a parking lot. The cold air biting the skin of my arms and legs. The only clothing I've worn since being locked up is a hospital gown. The gown barely even covered my ass but that still no longer matters. I hear gun shots being fired at me but I responded by opening my wings and pulling myself into the night sky. I was shaky because i haven't had much flight time but I finally managed to get aloft and soared above the trees. "IM FREE!!" I yelled happily. I looked down at the woods. It seemed the facility was in a very hidden place. After maybe three hours of flying, I saw big open fields and tiny things dotting them. While still celebrating my freedom I was suddenly hit with a wave of nausea and light headed ness. I started to lose altitude and was soon hurtling to the ground. I blacked out before I hit the ground.
~~~~~Ken's POV~~~~~
"Guys let's play some Left 4 Dead!" I yelled happily to my friends. Their names are Cry, aka Ryan, Scott, Minx, Red, and Russ. They were keeping me company on my farm while my parents were gone on a three week honeymoon. Yeah I'm older and still live with my parents so what! We started up the game with me, Cry, Russ, and Scott playing. Minx and Red watched and tried to mess us up and kill us. While we were playing I heard something hit the ground outside and the cows freaking out. "Damn it! That better not be those kids from down the road again!" I yelled running for the door and into the night. The guys followed me but Minx and Red stayed on the porch watching the strong men go investigate. "COME OUT NOW AND YOU WONT GET IN TROUBLE!" I yelled across the large field. Me and the guys spread out to look. "AHHHH!!! WHATS THAT!!!" I heard Red scream from the porch. I look across the field. I saw something I'd never forget. I saw what seemed to be a man standing at least twenty feet from us. I couldn't see his features because he was just a silhouette in the dark moon lit field but I saw one feature I couldn't believe. He had what looked like angel wings sprouting from his back. "Holy shit." Cry said breathlessly and taking a step back. I began walking forward. The man held a hand to his head but didn't seem to notice me yet. The guys followed close behind me in case I needed back up. I stepped on a twig which made a loud snapping noise. His head snapped in our direction. We quickly stopped walking, not wanting to provoke this new creature. His stance became defensive and he raised his wings to try and scare us away. I held my hands up in front of me trying not to seem threatening. Me and the guys started to circle then man slowly. Once close enough I pounced on the man and he immediately began fighting and struggling. He whimpered and screamed which saddened me a little. He was terrified. He was wearing a muddy hospital gown and he was covered in mud from the field. The boys helped me hold the guy and we started walking him back to my house. "PLEASE!!! NO!! DONT TURN ME IN!!" the man said with a weird accent. Minx and Red cleared the way for us and we drug the man inside. He continued to fight. I sat him on the couch and sat there stunned. The man seemed about our age. He had bright blue eyes, sandy blonde hair, and very pale skin. He had deep bags under his eyes and what seemed to be places where electrodes were stuck to his arms and legs. We all backed away from him some to give him some space. He stopped whimpering and looked up at us. His eyes wide, wild, and filled with tears. He gave us a questioning look. I slowly walked to him. He flinched and I jerked back. "Hey don't be scared... We aren't gonna hurt you." I spoke softly. The man still looked at me with frightened eyes. I came closer still holding my hands up and when I tried to touch his arm he swung on me and clipped me on my jaw. I stumbled back and everyone started getting crazy. The man got up and was trying to escape. Cry and Scott ran forward and grabbed him by his arms, trying to hold him back from his plan of jumping out the window. "You can't do that you will hurt yourself!" Cry yelled over the commotion. The man wasn't listening and still fought against them. I was trying to intervene again, but Scott had other plans. He punched the guy square in the stomach with all his force. "SCOTT NO DUDE!?" I yelled angry. The man doubled over trying to catch his breath. Suddenly the guy spun his body causing Cry and Scott to go flying into walls. The dude looked at Scott and swear I saw the winged guy's eye change to red then back to blue. He was very angry. But Minx saved the day by bashing a xbox controller on the back of the mystery man's head. He fell to the floor unconscious. Everyone stopped for a moment and just calmed down. "Now what?" Red asked. I shrugged my shoulders and walked over to the man and examined his face. His skin was pale white, I figured out his eyes were blue, and he had what I think is sandy colored hair. But right now it's caked with mud and sweat. "Cry, Russ, Scott help me carry him to the bathroom. We need to clean him up he is tracking mud everywhere. Minx. Red. Grab some towels please." I said hoisting the man up. To be just skin and bones he was heavy... The guys joined in and we made the trek up the stairs. "Are we really bout to bathe this dude?" Russ asked. "Dude you worked part time in a hospital. You told me you had to do this before what's the big deal you have the same parts anyway!" Cry exclaimed. "Doesn't mean I liked to do it! I don't wanna see this dude's dick!" Russ shot back. Me and Scott were a giggling mess while listening to Cry and Russ arguing. We finally got in the bathroom and put the guy in the bathtub. I found some scissors and cut off the gown thing. Minx and Red came in shielding their eyes with towels. "Now what Ken?" Minx asked while turning her back to us and putting the towels she had on the toilet lid. "Uh... clean him up and hope he doesn't wake up in the process." I said turning on the water and making it luke warm. I turned the shower on and me and the guys started washing this random dude. After about twenty minutes of awkwardness, arguing, and washing the dude was clean and dry. We had to dry his wings as well which was a hassle. We managed to get him in a shirt after making slits for his wings and put some boxers and pants on the man. We lay him in my room with the lights off and the door slightly open to let him know he wasn't locked in. I plopped down on the couch and sighed. Cry was still aggravating Russ because we made him wash the man's... lower half. Soon we were going back to how we were and played more video games. We looked at the clock to see it was only ten at night. "Who wants food?" I asked picking up my phone to order pizza. While were waiting for pizza I heard soft foot steps coming down the stairs. Then I heard a picture frame fall and a small yelp. I stood and walked around the corner to see the man trying to fix the picture. "It's fine don't worry." I said smiling. The man flinched and looked at me. His eyes filled with worry. I walked over to him slowly but still giving him a warm smile. "What's your name bro?" I asked trying to make him comfortable with me. "Fe-Felix.." he said quietly. I chuckled and held out a hand to Felix. "I'm Ken. Don't be scared of us. We aren't going to 'turn you in' or hurt you." I said. Felix looked at me wide eyed then smiled the brightest smile I've ever seen. Then it went away when everyone else came into the hall to see what I was doing. "Felix. This is Cry or Ryan which ever, Minx, Red, Russ, and Scott. We are your friends now don't worry." I pointed out everyone to him and Felix gave them a small smile. We showed Felix into the living room and his eyes lit up when he saw the game systems everywhere. "You know what those things are?" Red asked sweetly. Felix gave her a 'really did you a ask that' look. "I was taken when I was ten there were game systems then." he said. She just laughed and handed Felix a controller. Surprisingly Felix was kicking our asses. Then pizza finally arrived and I paid for it. "I bring provisions my good people!" I yelled happily. I was answered with yells of joy. Felix just laughed at us, not knowing what to say. I sat the pizza on the coffee table and everyone dug in... except Felix. I saw him staring at the food and could see the hunger in his eyes. I nudged his shoulder with mine to get his attention. "You are allowed to eat to Felix." He looked at me and back to the food. "I haven't had pizza since the day before I was taken from Sweden..." Felix said grabbing a slice. He nibbled at the food at first then actually ate it. The poor dude managed to finish a whole pizza by himself. He must have been starving. "So Felix you said you were from Sweden right?" Cry asked. "Yeah but where am I now?" Felix asked. "Montana USA." I answered. Felix's eyes grew wide. "Dude that's crazy..." he said. We just nodded and helped him feel better. We played video games for awhile longer. We were playing a yet another round of L4D when Felix started coughing and wheezing. "Dude are you alright?" I asked nervously. Felix didn't answer. He just kept coughing and when he stopped he pulled his left hand away from his mouth to reveal there was blood on it. "Felix are you okay!?" Minx asked with wide eyes. Felix chuckled "yes I'm fine don't worry. That happens sometimes. It has ever since I was changed into what I am now. Trust me it use to be worse." We all skeptically started playing again. Something told me that everything wasn't alright...
