I didn't catch
I didn't catch Alexandria. Someone else caught me.
I was after her, tracking her, yes. But then, out of nowhere, a buck and a man ambushed me. I fought back with all my might, trying to escape the demon deer and his sidekick. I used every power I had in me, but healing powers and an exceptional green thumb aren't very helpful against two men three times stronger and bigger than you. They shot me with a sedative, forcing me into an unnatural sleep. I woke an estamated hour later in a dog crate in the back of a pickup truck on my way to nowhere. I tried to pry open the bars, but I couldn't. Either I was losing my powers or there was some horrable and dark magic at work. Neither option sounds that good to me. Roughly midday I was given a meager meal of bread and cheese by the man. He had dark hair and a scraggly beard, and loads of tattoos. He looked a little bit like a streetfighter. Not the kind of guy I wanted to be heald captive by. After eating the cheese, I started feeling sleepy. They must have slipped something in the food. I was knocked out. When I woke up next, I had some news.
The good news was I was out of the dog crate.
The bad news, I was in a a forest, surrounded by other people. But, they weren't normal people. They all had wings. Like me.
This, my dear friends, is the part where I screamed.

"Please," I say, "Don't do this."
"Tick, tock." says Rigga
"Then you give me no choice," I sigh, "I am going to get rid of my powers."
I can hear her gasp, and the others (who still aren't caught up with the rest of the situation), are looking at the two of us confused.
"You-you can't. It's impossible," she stutters, "You can't do that."
"I came back from the dead, didn't I?"
I run into the crowd, and Rigga, suspecting something, sends soldiers after me. The other bird-people ralley around me, protecting me, and soon Mina's at my side. Eventually, I find what I'm looking for. A young girl, about the age of six, is hiding behind a tree. She has curly black hair and the wings of a cardinal, one of the few brightly colored Homoavians in here. I kneel beside her, putting my hands on her chest. I feel all of the warmth slip out of me, and I start to grow very weak. The girl stays still the entire time.
"There," I say, looking into her chocolate eyes, "You are the Angel of Death now."
The little girl runs away. I pass out from exhaustion.

shadow... no... you... How do you know that will help? They'll all be chasing after her now, hungry for her powers, and you don't know that she can handle the responsibility. I'm sorry, it's terrible of me, but I needed to say it.
(January 2, 2017 - 11:31 am)
I doubt the SOCS knows what I did. I am hoping they wil continue to come after me, and that I can train Brynn on how to be Angel of Death. I understand your concern.

There is a crowd in the clearing. Aly and I hide behind a large tree. It seems to me that there is a fight going on.
As I surge forward, Aly grabs my wrist. "Stop, this isn't our fight yet, so stay behind this tree." she whispers. I oblige, just because she is finally acting friendly.
"I'm going to go to the other side of the clearing and hide behind one of those trees."
"Okay." Aly replies. Her brown hair was pulled up tight with a long piece of grass. Her blue-gray eyes looked worried. And with that, I ran to the other side of the clearing.

How did you get into the enclosure?
(January 2, 2017 - 11:39 am)
Ahat did that older girl do to me? I feel so weird. She came up to me and did something to me. What just happened? Why is everyone mad? What is going on? But I keep on running.
(January 2, 2017 - 11:24 am)
"Shadow- Shadow, wake up!" I exclaim quietly as I shake Shadow's shoulders.
She sits up groggily and looks at me. "What?"
"What just happened?" I ask. "What did you do to that girl, and why did she run away?"
Her eyes open wide. "I transferred my powers," she whispers.
My eyes open even wider. "We need to find her. Now."
Shadow nods and looks at Wing.
"Don't worry, we'll handle it. Go."
Shadow nods and the both of us run off into the forest.
After a while, we stop and Shadow sighs. "Where could she have gone?"
Suddenly, we hear a branch snap above our heads. We look up and a small girl with brown curly hair and brown eyes sits on the branch, looking scared.
Shadow nods at me and we fly up.
"Hey," Shadow gently calls. "What's your name."
"Brynn," she quietly replies. "What did you do to me?"
(January 2, 2017 - 11:45 am)
Grabbing Ava's hand, we flutter off silently to the top of a tree. From there we watched as Brynn raced away through the trees. She was the only other girl here with colored wings.
"We have to help her!" Said Ava.
"I know," I replied, "let's follow her from above the trees, maybe we can scout out SOCS people for her."
Ava nods and we take off again.

Quick sketches of Brynn:
(January 2, 2017 - 12:29 pm)
This was so stupid. How could I have let Mina convince me to let her do this? I was gonna kill her.
A messenger comes into my room.
"We have another report form Mina. Please report to Conference Room 3."
I follow him down the hall and into a room, where a small radio is on the table.
The radio crackles to life. "Sprocket, this is Mina. Can you hear me?"
I nod, then realize that she can't see me. "Yes I can. What in the name of Kyngdom is going on?"
"shadow transferred her powers to a girl named Brynn. We are trying to get her to safety."
Dang it. Why did they have to do this? "Why did shadow do that? Never mind. We will talk about it later. What do you think the best course of action is? I think that the scientists would get suspicious if we made more bird people. Do you think I should come into that mess?"
"I don't really know. I think that we should just wait, or we could register other mutants. They wouldn't have to be bird people."
"To dangerous. Besides, I don't to put any of our forces in danger."
There was a pause. "Maybe you need to infiltrate the base. I am sure you could enter as a scientist, then control things form the inside. Take some people with you, and then try and figure out how to free these people."
That's interesting. Of course, it would propose a lot of unforseen dangers.
"We would have to modify me. Everyone knows what I look like, as well as all of the Counselers. I don't want to take any serums, but it seems like our only option. I will ask the scientists to arrange it."
"Alright. See you on the other side."
(January 2, 2017 - 12:54 pm)
"Listen," I say to the girl- Brynn, "You need to come with us. We'll explain everything in time, but right now we just need to get you to safety."
(January 2, 2017 - 4:03 pm)
While Shadow finishes talking to Brynn I finish talking to Sprocket. I sign off and turn back to look at Shadow, kneeling down to calm the girl. The girl, Brynn, looks so scared. How could SOCS experiment on a tiny girl like this?
Suddenly, two girls about 10 years old swoop down and land in front of us.
"Brynn!" they both shout, clasping her hands.
Then the entire forest is filled with questions.
"What happened?" "Why did you run?" "What did Shadow do?" "Do you have powers?" "SOCS is coming after you!"
"WHAT?" Shadow exclaims. She turns to me. "We need to get out of here fast. Abort the mission. Tell Sprocket that she needs to break through the base and pick us up. We can't sneak around anymore. This little girl will be dead."
Brynn has her head down.
I look back at Shadow. "Maybe we should consider our-"
"No," Shadow interrupts. "Any more waiting and we'll all be killed."
I realize she's crying now.
I nod. "Okay. I'll tell Sprocket."
I radio in and in a few seconds Sprocket picks up.
"I'm in the middle of a meeting with a scientist, but yeah?"
"Listen," I hiss. "Abort everything. You need to come pick us up now."
Sprocket realizes the seriousness in my voice. "I'll see what I can do. Be there soon."
The transmission is cut off and I turn to Shadow and sigh.
"They're coming."
(January 2, 2017 - 4:00 pm)
I motion for Brynn (Who has probably never flown in her life) to jump on my back, and she does. Then Mina and I look at each other and take off, soaring straight up. We fly high enough that we reach the enclosure's domed ceiling.
"Do you see them?" I ask Mina
"No-wait, yes! Over there!" She says, ponting at a section of the forest. It's very close to the edge of the enclosure, and I can see Sprocket standing next to a large truck, waving at us. We swoop down, and I feel Brynn grasping at my clothes, trying to stay on. Soon, I feel my feet touch the ground, and Brynn slides off my back. Mina's not far behind.
"Thank goodness you're okay!" says Sprocket, hugging me and Mina. Then she turns to Brynn.
"So you're the reason we came out here?"
"Yes. Are you really the Resistance?" she asks in awe
"You better believe it!" says Sprocket, "Now, put these on," She says, handing us each a set of new clothes, "You're going to have to change if you want to blend in,"
I'm given a pair of jeans, a t-shirt advertising some band called 'The Tuck-and-Roll Trio" and a dark sweatshirt.
"No shoes?" I inquire
"Sorry," shrugs Sprocket, "We're on a budget."
(January 2, 2017 - 5:49 pm)
The girl Sprocket gives me a black shirt and a red skirt with black leggings. I'm not used to it, because I usually just wear my brown dress. But I get changed into it anyway. Shadow, Mina, and Sprocket look like really good friends, and although we're all being pursued they have time to laugh and catch up with each other.
"So you're Brynn, right?" the girl Sprocket asks.
I wake up from my thoughts and nod.
"She's...?" Sprocket asks, tailing off and making gestures at Shadow.
"Yup. New Angel of Death," Shadow says.
Wait, what?! Angel of what?!
"I don't understand," I say.
"Shadow, really?!" Mina exclaims. "Way to break it gently."
While they all argue, I walk off to the side of the forest where there are many flowers. I begin to pick some when I hear a snarl behind me. A fox is hidden in the bush and launches for a bird.
"No!" I yell.
The fox yelps and leaps back, running away. But the bird lies there, dad.
I rush over and pick it up, realizing its a cardinal.
Stupid fox.
But the bird starts to stir and gets up and flies away.
I gaze in shock as it flutters through the air and disappears in the branches of a nearby tree.
I whip around and Shadow stands there, staring at me.
"Good job. Now you've discovered it."
(January 2, 2017 - 6:30 pm)
They got us. Headmistress got both myself and Dee.
It was all a flash. The helicopter came and picked me up, and Dee was already on it. But they weren't friendly, because then they put a knife to my throats and said they would show it to Shadow. They then threw Dee and I in one cell
So here we are.
"Alexandria, are we friends?" Dee asks.
I consider it. Friends. "Yeah. Looks like we're stuck together a lot too, so might as well."
We both laugh.
"Good," she sighs. "No one likes me anyway."
"That's not true-"
Suddenly the door to the dungeon slams open and three guards stream in.
We both jump back surprised.
"Aw, scared little puppies," a guard mocks. They all laugh.
I push Dee behind me.
"Leave us alone," I spit.
"Of course, because we're so afraid of you," a guard scowls.
Dee steps out from the side. "You are. You are afraid of her."
The guard nervously laughs. "What are you taking about, girl?"
"You're afraid of her," Dee repeats. She turns to the two others. "You're lonely and you're mad."
Right as one of them aims their gun I leap for the cell door and pull the nose of the uh through the bat so the guards face slams into the door.
He yelps and I grit my teeth. "Aim that somewhere else or I'll be aiming for you."
I let go and he falls back while the other guards help him up.
"WHY YOU-"
The door opens again, interrupting the guard, and in walks Headmistress.
"Alexandria, dear, how lovely to see you," she says with a fake honey-sweet smile. "I see you've met Dee Lark, daughter of-"
"Lieutenant Lark, yes," I interrupt.
She inhales sharply but clears her throats and smiles. She then shifts her snake's gaze to Dee. "You could help us with your little emotion reading, you know."
Dee shakes her head. "No. No, it isn't right."
"Leave her alone, snake," I spit.
She gives me a smile. "We have other use for you. A new serum needs to be tested. It would give the human advanced abilities, invisibility, and other things. You'd be the perfect yet, because there's only one."
"No!" I shout. "I won't be made into a little weapon like you've always wanted!"
"It's too late, dear," she says as more guards walk in and take me out of the cell. Dee screams and I struggle against their grasp.
Headmistress waves her hand, signaling for them to carry on. "I already have."
