And here I am. I've been poked and prodded my whole life. What's happening? I look to Jack, worried, confused. They've been running tests on us all day, but why? I can't exactly tell what they've been talking about. Medication has caused everything to be a blur. Now we're standing, girls in tank-tops and guys in t-shirts; all in tan pants, 20 of us. Groups of five wear different shirt colors. Mine is white the others are black, blue, and purple. They herd us all into a massive white room, I start to panic. What is this test? I don't understand. I frantically search for Jack and when I spot him, I run to him, arm extended. Then I feel myself being yanked away by strong arms. "NO!" I scream, struggling to get out. "Jack! Jack! I have to tell you som--" But i can't tell him because I feel a prick in my shoulder and suddenly fall, dizzy. I hear him yell something too, but I can't quite make out what it is. Then I see nothing, but black.

I hear Alex yell that she has to tell me something, but she's drugged before she can tell me anything. Someone comes up behind me and grabs my arms. I manage to break one arm free and use my elbow to break his nose. I run towards her before anyone else can grab me. "No!" I yell, frantic to tell her what I've always wanted to. "Wait, I love you. Wa-" I have the breath knocked out of me by one of the guards tackling me. Something is shoved into my neck and the world goes black.

I wake up next to four people in white tops, I've never known their names. A girl with blonde hair is standing up, looking out a window with a pistol in her hand. a black-haired boy is sitting on a chair across the room, bouncing his leg nervously. Next to me, waking up as well, is a brunette girl with piercing blue eyes. and behind her a boy who is still sleeping. he has red hair like me. I sit up slowly and groan, sore. A wall on the far side up the room has some weapons on it. I stretch my wings out a little. they usually span about 13 feet, but I try not to take up space and only pull them out about 5 feet. I clear my throat, "What's happening?" "not sure," the Blonde girl replies, "but I know that we should definitely be on our guard," I nod and turn towards the sound of the red haired boy waking up too. then A loud beep rings through the area. "Attention test subjects!" It said, "You are here to win. To survive! the last word gives me chills. survive? what do they mean by this? the voice continues, "your goal is to be the last team standing with at least one member. Do whatever it takes. Use your surroundings and, of course, yourselves! Good luck!" a click signals the end of the message. It's completely silent in the room. "What kind of test is this?!" the black haired boy finally yelled. "What the hell is this? Setting us on each other!" "I think we just need to think about what we're going to do," the blonde replied calmly. Can we first start with names and abilities? I'm Onyx and I can move things!" she put her hand up and moved as dagger to her face then it flew threw the air and into the wall. she looked at the boy with black hair and said, "your turn," he looked very disgruntled, but still said "Hey, I'm Clay and I'm fast," he gestured to the red haired guy, "I'm Emerson and I'm super strong," he didn't give a demonstration either and looks to the girl with the blue eyes, "I'm umm Lotus and I can well... this," she disappears then reappears in a few seconds. then they all look at me. "Oh, umm. I'm Alex and I'm umm a bird-girl?" I stretch out my wings all the way. It feels great to do this. I pull them back in all the way though because they take up a lot of the room. "Alright, lets figure things out," the Blonde says, who seems to have taken leader status. I look out the window over the city, Jack... where are you? I think to myself.

I wake up to loduspeakers blaring some voice. "-survive!" that's all I could make out in my half awake half drugged state. I look around at where I am, five of us in the room all in black. Only one person is awake right now. "Hey, what was that announcement about?" I say, startling him to the point of jumping. "I... I... um, oh yeah. we have to kill the other teams to win or something." he says, obviously shooken up, "Who are you? And what's with that accent?" "Jack, and I'm Irish." I say, annoyed by his fear of my voice after a loudspeaker was just blaring. I see weapons on one wall, and a sniper in the kids hands. "You any good with that or did you just grab the biggest weapon you could find?" I ask, taunting him as much as possible. "I, uh...," he looks ashamed "better with a pistol, I guess." He hands me the rifle and grabs a pistol from the wall. "Lets wake the others up as quick as possible. but first what's your name and enhancement?" He then darts from the wall to me in the blink of an eye and says "There's my enhancement, and I'm Robert." "Then let's get to work!" I say. I roll over one of the guys I know, bill, who's laying awkwardly. "Bird man."I say hoping to annoy him awake "Oh bird man, where are you?" I say in the most annoying tone I can manage. "Go away, jackass" he says playfully. That's his nickname for me, Jackass. "Get up, got work to do!" I say. Looking around I see Bill, Robert, and two girls who I don't recognize. "So what can you two do?" I ask. The taller one says "dissapear", the other says "move things without touching them" "Alright then, you two have names?" "Jane" "Miranda" I look everbody over and say "Well, I'm Jack. Strong and ready to move. I'm stepping up as leader since none of you are, let's win this thing!" I say then head over to the door to get moving.

"Alex?" Onyx brakes my daydream state. "W-what?" "What weapon do you want?" she asks again, gesturing towards the wall. I scan it over and my eyes land on it. That one. That's the one I want. It's an old-fashioned looking bow that has no arrows. I pick it up and examine it. "It's beautiful," I whisper. I pull back the string as if i were going to shoot, but i jump when an arrow just appears on it. "Woah," I say with a smile. But my smile fades when I realize what I'm going to be using it for...

We're moving throught he street when a shot comes from above and hits the ground in front of me. I look up to see someone with wings. "Take cover!" I yell, my team scatters. I duck behind a car and take aim with my rifle. I don't recognize the person, and I take the shot. The bullet misses the persons body but takes out a wing. They fall to the ground with a sickening crunch of bones shattering. "Squad, on me! Prepare for the rest of them, and listen for anyone invisible!" They do exactly as I say, workiing like a well oiled machine. For a ragtag group, they follow orders rether well. A shot rings out and the other four from that group round the corner. The firefight begins. Bullets are flying and one narrowly misses Bill. We're all ducked behind one car, waiting for them to relaod. Each of us has a backup weapon, a knife, and have them readied for when their invisible person tries an attack. I put away my knife then lie down behind the car, taking aim under it. I see someone advancing for a better position. I shoot their leg right out from under them, then finish them off. "Two down!" I yell to my team, "Go for a building, the higher the ground the better!"
