Max's POV

We all sat around the table in deadly silence.

"You sure she could see you?" Gazzy asked.

"She looked right at me" Angel sighed for the millionth time

. "And no one else could see you?" He asked and she shot a glare at him, probably sick of answering.

"So what do we do?" Dylan asked.

"I don't know" Angel squeaked and Jay held her closer.

"All I know was she was in a lab, being experimented on" Angel said. As I caught her eye she quickly looked away from me and I knew she was hiding something from me.


Carter's POV

I banged against my cage.

"Let me out!" I yelled down the empty hall. No one came.

"Give it up" Alaric said and I looked over to see him slumped in his cage, tapping against its roof in rhythm.

"She's your sister" I growled at him, angry about his lack of caring.

"We don't know that. Plus we all know it's going to happen whether we want it to or not" he sighed.

"You know, you can be a real jerk" I snapped.

"I'm realistic" he yawned.

"Shut up you two" Arianna snapped from her cage. "I'm sick of being in the middle" she sighed, her cage next to mine.

The door opened and two scientists walked in, one carrying the limp body of Light.

"Told you" Alaric hissed and the scientist kicked his cage as he went past.

They put Light back into her cage and left without a word. I saw Chase reach out of his cage to try and reach her, but she was too far away.

"Give it a rest Chase" Lyra sighed.

Everyone had been at each other's throats in the last few days. We knew what had been coming. Now Light had been grown too, we were all completed. Last year when I was only three, I had been taken from my cage in the middle of the night. The scientists had experimented on me with a new serum they had been working on. I was put back in my cage. Within a day my body had changed. I remember the pain it had caused as my life was fast forwarded. I aged 12 years in a day. As my body aged so did my mind. I not only looked like a 15 year old, I thought like one too. Once I reached that age I started aging normally again so now I'm 16. I had lost a whole chunk of my life in one day. I didn't know why they did it, but they did.

A few weeks later they took the twins Arianna and Chase and did the same to them. A few weeks later they did the same to Lyra, however Lyra didn't age as much as us for now she is only 13. A few months later they took Alaric who at the moment is 12. Light was taken tonight, and at the moment she looked like a small 4 year old child, but by morning she would have gained years.

I didn't know why they did this, but it had to have some reason behind it.

My back ached. I hadn't been let out of my cage in a week and my wings yearned to be opened. Yes, we had wings. As if we weren't freaks enough, we had all been born with wings. At least I think we had been born. None of us had parents, or remembered them.

I looked around the room. A giant mirror took up one room of this prison cell, probably so the scientists could watch us. My own chocolate brown eyes stared back at me. My olive colour skinned hands gripped at my cage bars tightly and my black hair fell over one eye. We all knew we couldn't really be related, everyone was so different.

Well except the twins, they were defiantly blood related. Arianna had long strawberry blonde hair and pale blue eyes and so did Chase. They were both slightly pale and Chase was tall and lanky.

Alaric had spiky blonde and big bright blue eyes, but wasn't pale, he looked naturally tanned.

Lyra had easily fitted into her body the best. She had a face and body built like a model and had brown eyes with brown ringlets of hair.

I couldn't tell what Light would look like, but at the moment she was just a sweet, innocent little girl with blonde locks and big blue eyes.

I didn't know what was to become of us, but I knew it wouldn't be good.
