chapter 1 fight or flight
Sira's pov
I woke in the bed in the lab again. I was tired of the experiments, and wondered if the others could find me. I knew that it had been a long time since i had seen the sun, pain filled my skinny form as i finally stand and i grab the celling board. I was lighter and faster than i ever was, stronger than anyone in body and will. I had forgotten how to speak to almost all but mist and we had become more alike, our powers were prantically merged into one. I crawl through the upper celling, moving silently to advoid attention. I moved along, using my hearing to locate scientists and guards. I had never tried to escape before, i had taken everything in stride. I eventually reach a point with no guards and scientists and i open it and see cameras and i focus on my aura and it creates a staticy feel around me which blinds the cameras and i land, bursting into a run and i see the doors in my sights, i burst into a sprint and i burst through the doors and i keep running into the forest, the floor feeling great under my metal and hardened foot. I continued to leap over roots, race over the forest for hours, the crisp summer air making the forest muggy and wet under my feet. I eventually stop at the very warehouse i had failed to help the horned man out. I catch my breath and i focus my power and i start pounding my fist into the wall. What are you? Ohh right the demon dude yeah mist i never got to fufill my promise to him , if he even remembers me by how much i've changed. A lock of my newly made midback length fiery red hair, my pure amber orange eyes and the slit shone against the metal as i continued pounding the wall till it fully gives under my weight and it creates an opening and i walk in. The darkness is what hit me first, it was dark, lonelyness and fear was traced in the air. Weird black liquid dripped from higher places and the place had a musky stench filling the area and a deep voice rings out" you finally came sira" i turn to see a man in a black suit with large horns and i try to speak but my voice only comes out in tones and growls, i stop and i shake my head and i gesture that i need paper and pen. He nods" ah i see" he hands me an old note pad and a quill and puts an ink bottle under some of the goop and hands it to me. I write out"i can't speak but i never got your name, what is it? Also i know somewhere we can go, if they're still there, hopefully they are" he nods in understanding" my name is John Dragonflame and i can speed our transportation as long as you can point the way." I nod and i go back out the way i came and he follows once he gets out into the forest he sighs and midnight black wings spread from his back and small liquid drops hang from them. He holds out a hand and i grab on and suddenly i don't feel the ground. I sigh happily and i focus, when i feel his mind i say" my last name is Dragonflame too, but i don't ever remember you. Yet i feel connected, does that make sense?" He jumps slightly and says" wait your-your surename is Dragonflame, are you from Utlas?" My eyes widen and i nod quickly and his wings falter slightly, a slight drop in altitude and strength and in the distance i see the base and i point in the direction of it and he nods and flaps strongly as i feel us shifting currents below us. He slows and pulls himself vertical and lands, i let go and i brace my legs as i hit the ground and i focus and vines burst into the air and they lift me up and john next to me and i smile as i step in and i hold out my hand. Immeadiatly a tugging sensation surrounds it and a ringing sound fills my ears as they go black and enlongate into dragon like ears and they flicker till i turn my hands and it increases and i say in a raspy voice" ataxia, it's me and mist. You know i'm home now, i'm free." I hear the ringing turn into a voice" Sira i'm coming!" Suddenly the sound of breaking glass sounds and i feel the sword handle against my hand and i grip, the soft leather grip sliding over my hand as the crystal blade glew a patient yet bright blue as gray energy flowed around the sword, creating a powerful light show. John shielded his slightly pie cut eyes as i heard multiple footsteps running and i open my eyes and i see accuracy running over, her metalic eagle wings spread and i smile wide. She pins me down and says strictly" what have you done to Sira?!" I tried to talk" ataxia would not..... no imposter....... touch..... the...... s-sword acc. You...... should know..... him.... by now." I smile and hug her" ataxia would have sliced me to bits the instant i reached for him, you remember how he smacked lightning all that time ago?" I say through my mind and accuracy relaxes" Sira? What have they done to you?" She gets up and helps me up" and whos this with you?" "John Dragonflame thank you very much and you three are?" He says calmly" accuracy,"she says pointing to herself and points to each in turn" lightning strike and mercury. We call ourselves the Winged since we all can fly by wing except sira, she never went out into the field up untill she dissapeared. Suddenly she shows up with a mystery man with horns and a bowtie after 6 months of searching!" I push accuracy back and i say" him and i, probably family, you no hurt. I helped him, took me home in exchange, but can stay if he wishes." Accuracy nods" ok but only if he wants to." I nod with a smile. This will turn out interesting for me.
