The Beginning

Black, black, and blacker. I really wish the dream wouldn't start like this. Oh crap. Here they are and, they have talons. Of course they do, I mean they wouldn't be complete without talons. One of the bad things about my dreams, I die in them I die in real life.

"Come on come on run faster would ya." I mummbled to myself running from the crazed maniacs with talons I mentioned earlier. "Finally. It's about time I reached the cliff. Geranimo!" (OK let's pause for a moment. I know what your thinking and yes if I die in the dream I do die in real life but just wait.) I spread my wings just as I reach the bottom of the cliff and spiral up and out of the cavern and into the sky and close my eyes." Wake up wake up wake up!" I jump out of bed and look around.  No taloned maniacs, no crazy cliff and, best of all I still have my wings. Why are you looking at me so wierd? Oh I get it. You thought the wings were a part of the dream. Nope, I guess you could say I'm attached. Anyone? No, well this is awkward. What was I talking about? Oh yeah right. So I'm a genetic mutation. I have giant wings, great eyesight, smelling, and hearing. I also have a very powerful punch. (I have a few other powers but we'll get to that later) I share these powers with my "family". Now I know what your thinking

" Dang, where can I get those powers?"

I know, I know. But my life ain't exactly a barrel of peaches. You see the scientists who created us, well they weren't exactly doing it for the good of humanity. We were surposed to be a new race of super-human warriors cappable of destroying everything that got in our way. But when they experimented on us we were all to old. They had erased our memmories but we still kept our personalities. Well we all knew that we didn't want to be controled so we escaped and well the rest is what your reading.

The dream came true

I should have know.  My day was to normal. Yell at your sibligs to wake up, do perimeter check, and then cook ( burn) some food. It was too good to be true. At about noon I heard a howl.This is no ordinary howl. It was low and high at the same time and so cold that it sent a chill through my bones. The peculiars were here."Emergency procedures," I screamed" get your stuff and get out!" We should have a good twenty minutes before they reach us but I'm not putting anything past them. "Come on!" I yelled flying out the front door with my giant black wings spreading out behind me. After about five minutes of flying I heard the angriest howl in the history of the universe. " Thank our short streak of luck." I mumbled.

" Don't say the "L" word,"  Luna sighed looking at me with annoyance as her light blonde hair whipped behind her. "You know it always brings the bad kind if you say it."

Okay let me introduce you to my flock. Flash (me) is the head being 16 years and older than everyone except for Chase who is second in charge. Then comes Luna then Stein and finally the twins Solar and Eclipse.  We all picked our names based on our abilities,some of which we don't know the full extent. But back to the escaping. We fly for about 10 minutes, which means we flew about ten miles.

"O.k. guys. I think it's time to rest."  I said as we came to a forest dense enough so as not to for us to visable to outsiders but thin enough so that we could fly through at a moments notice if need be. This should be a good place to rest for about five minutes before we leave again. You see the peculiars have the genetic abilities as we do. The only difference is that they have the genes of a zebra. Right now about half of you are probably staring at your screens making sure you read that right. Don't worry you did. Now zebras may not sound fearsome but they are. With their sharp teeth, crushing force, and stamina they are force to be reconed with. We spend half of a year trying to find a sanctuary and it worked. For the other half of the year. Now we're being forced to fly and try to find another place that we can stay. Well I'm tired. See you in the morning.

Powers are revealed

 Oh yay, more dreams. You know what I would love, just one night of peaceful rest, But nooo I have to have the dreams. Well lets get on with it then. O.k. here's a change of scenery. It's bright and white. Oh hey ryhmed. I could could so be a poet. Back to the room. I'm surrounded by guys in white lab coats and ( oh crap) I'm strapped down to a metal table. Why do all the doctors have drills? Well if I'm going to escape now the time to do it. I summon all my strength and break free of the straps holding me down. I then shoot up out of the building and shoot a fire ball at them. Wait back up fire ball. New powers, yay. That was sarcasm by the way. The more powers we have the easier it is for the peculiars to find us. I guess you could say that instead of a falcon I'm now an eagle. A bigger target. I now conveniently wake up. I said I now conveniently wake up!

"Flash are you O.k " asks Luna

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" I reply confused.

"Because your on fire!" Luna screams

"Oh. Help,help, help I'm on fire!" I scream running around like a chicken with it's head chopped off.

"We get it your awesome. Can you be quieter about though. Some of us are trying to sleep." muttered Eclipse.

"No I'm literally on fire!"

"How are you still alive then?"asks Solar.

"It might something to do with a new power." I say grinning sheepishly.

Yay a death party

"A new power!" Screams Solar.

"Just announce it to all of Mississippi why don't ya," I retarted "It's not like we're on the run from a bunch of mutated maniacs. Oh wait."

 "Thats beside the point! A new power might as well be a bigger bullseye." said Eclipse.

"Well it's not like I asked to be a flaming flying freak." I spat back at her.

" The only thing I'm wondering, is how did you even get the power?" asked Luna.

"Well I did have a dream..." 

"You have dreams?" said Luna with obvious confusion.

"None of us have dreams."finished Eclipse.

"Really, that weird. I always have dreams about the peculiars and how their going to catch us," Then realization broke accross my face."and most of the time they actually come true."

"Are there anymore powers you want to tell us about before I completely blow a gasket?" Eclipse said smiling

"Nope thats about it." 

"Well in that case. How could you..."

But as Eclipse started yelliing waking up everyone at camp I started zoning out and instead heard a pound of feet about three inches away. With all our arguing Eclipse and I hadn't noticed the peculiars about two inches away from us now, and as a figure stepped out from the group I recognized who the leader was. Thana Valdis.

"Well isn't this a nice surprise,"cackled Thana." you made it so easy to capture yourselves. I really appreciate it."

Next thing I know my hands are tied behind my back and my wings are bound together with chains. Fun. I look ahead and see that I'm being led by the queen of  annoyingness herself. I don't know what Thana has against us but apparently she's took the scientists orders of capturing us to a whole new level.

Our family reunions are to die for

So
