You know how you never get the right words to start a conversation/story/poem etc but you know that in a few minutes you’ll be having like a overflow of things to say, well I may just have hit that little snag. There’s so much I need to tell, so much the world must find out, before you know my end comes, and in my case it can come just around the corner wearing a suite and sunglasses (jip you’ve guessed it, erasers normally dress that way, and if you haven’t guessed then sorry for you just keep reading), our lives are just messed up like that.
Once upon a time in a land . . . wait that was used before, okay take two then. Little did they know . . . wait I'm one of they, I can’t, anyway give me a while, hmmm? *thinking very hard*
Ahh, I have it, I’ll just start in the beginning, the day we escaped . . .
1 week ago
Hmmm . . . . I sat there in my cage thinking over and over about what he had said . . .
“tonight . . . don’t sleep . . . tell your brother . . . don’t trust . . .” to the untrained ear it would seem to be just random words, okay pretty much to me to. What the heck did he mean by don’t trust, and just why the hell can’t I sleep tonight, growing bird kids need lots of sleep in-between evil experiments.
“Lex!!!” came Jay’s surprisingly uneasy voice, “what you thinkin’ of?”
“Am well, notin’, just something random, anyway don’t go to sleep tonight” I said to my emo twin brother, probably sensed I was tense or something with that emotion sense thing of his.
“Why?” He asked, getting that face on we both made when we tried to understand something, it was like looking into a mirror.
“Just got a feeling I guess, just don’t sleep okay?” I returned trying to sound sincere or caring, both emotions I don’t show on a regular basis.
“Okay whatever, you’re the boss” he said crossing his arms over his chest and sitting back against the bars of his cage, next to mine.
That night we sat there waiting for something to happen, like the man said, why did we even listen to a grown up, usually they were the ones who hurt us, but I had like this power where my instincts were like super, and right now they told me to . . .
“Jay . . . Duck!!!” I yelled as soon as my ‘spider sense’ warned me. Without even looking if Jay listened I ducked. There was a loud boom sound and then the air filled with dust, a choking brown white dust that got in everywhere, some stray pieces of plaster also fell on me. I stood up, brushing plaster and dust of off me, also lifting a piece of the ceiling of off me.
“Jay . . . Jay you okay . . . not that I care!!!” I shouted, hoping he wasn’t hurt or anything, then I heard the sound of something or rather someone being choked. I looked around me as the dust settled, and to my horror and anger I found the source of the sound, some big ugly hairy eraser had Jay’s neck in his hand, claw, he had Jay by the neck lifting him off of the ground and choking every last bit of live from my brother.
“You did this boy, now I end you!” the eraser snarled at my brother.
“no he didn’t, leave him” I looked up, away from my brother and saw a kid, about Jays size and probably age, except he had actual muscles, something Jay only dreamed of, his eyes, wow his eyes glowed bright yellow. The eraser somehow listened and dropped Jays limp body to the ground, I cringed, that’s going to hurt in the morning, luckily I knew Jay and knew it would take more than that to kill my bro, the eraser looked up at the kid and snarled, he hid his fear well, but I saw the way he stepped back, how can an eraser be scared of a avian hybrid.
With my super hearing I heard the eraser talk into an earpiece “send reinforcements, double zero sixteen is trying to bust out a couple of experiments.” He looked up at the kid and said with a toothy smile on “you’re not getting away this time 16” the eraser took another step back, away from Jay who still laid there unconscious on the ground, I took this as my chance to finally show myself and maybe check and se if Jay’s okay, since none of the boys realised I was here.
I ran over to Jay, thinking the eraser will stay away ‘coz he was afraid of the kid, I fell to my knees next to my brother and instantly leaned down to hear if he still breathed, and he did.
“Jay, you okay, wake up, we gotta get outa here, JAY!!!” I said and shook him, he didn’t wake up. I was so focused on him I didn’t notice the kid who scared the eraser jump up behind me and pull me, still clutching my brother, away, just seconds before an eraser shot at the place we sat at.
“WOW!!!” I yelled in surprise, we almost got shot, and my instinct thing didn’t warn me.
“Run-“ he said and looked at my wings “fly, get away, I’ll carry your brother, I’m just behind you!”
Naturally I didn’t trust him, but like before my instincts told me to trust him, I reluctantly let go of my brother, only realising I clung to him like a kid to a doll now, I ran towards another door that wasn’t starting to fill with angry erasers. I looked over my shoulder and thankfully saw the kid carrying my sleeping brother, the erasers stared in disbelieve as we ran away.
“Turn left, go up the stairs, run down the hall, jump threw the window!” He yelled the orders as we ran, for a minute I wondered how he knew were to go and why the frikken hell he was helping us. I did as he said and ran down the hall towards the window, I mentally got myself ready for my first ever escape threw a window. I jumped and braced myself for that impact with the window, it shattered easily and I was out, momentarily forgetting to flap, I ripped out my wings and pushed down gracefully, staying airborne till the kid, with Jay in his arms, joined me in the cool night sky above the school I was raised, tortured and turned into a freak in.
Angry erasers shot bullets into the sky as we safely flew of, towards our new found freedom.
