Warrior Cats: The Four Clans

Chapter 1

Kit sat in a room, the dark completely consuming him. Looking to the right and left, he saw the other cages, the cages that held the ones like him. They were all just a sick experiment that scientists decided to cook up one day. There were six of them, three girls, three guys. They were stuck in these cages, day in and day out. The only time they were allowed out of the cages were when the scientists decided to perform experiments on them.

All of them were huddled in their cages looking with wide eyes at the man in white in the other corner. The room was extremely dark, but with his own raptor vision, he could see easily. The man in white had goggles over his eyes with a green tinge to them, letting them all know he could see easily in the dark. The man held up a needle and flicked the tip of it as a few drops of liquid shot out of it. He then made his way over to Kit's cage reaching in the the syringe. Kit tried his hardest to back away from the needle, but couldn't, the cages were barely big enough for him, let alone him having free will to move anywhere.

The needle punctured his skin and the liquid coursed, and burned through his veins like wildfire. He didn't scream or make any sounds or movements. He wasn't about to give the scientist that satisfaction. The man smiled a wicked smile and began mumbling as he exited the room. "Is everyone else alright?" He grumbled. He looked down where the needle had went into his skin. Small scars were all over his arms from previous needles. Even the one that had recently punctured himself, we all had amazing regenerating abilities.

He heard Theo's grunt from the cage on the opposite side of the room. Theo was mainly the 'tough guy' of the group. He was the oldest in fact. He heard 'Yea's' and 'I'm okay's' from the other cages as well. Except one. He turned to his left to find an empty cage. Where had Blaike gone? When had they taken her? During the night? His palms got sweaty as thoughts of what they could be doing to her raced through his mind. She was the 'leader' of the group so to speak. She was the one to always keep everyone together no matter what, and they'd been with each other ever since they had hatched out of the DNA viles'.

"Did anyone see them take Blaike?" He called out.

"No, I didn't" He heard a quiet voice from the dark room, that was Saturn, the youngest of the group. She'd been there last experiment. Lucky for her she hasn't gone through much, yet. He hear other no's from Zemmie's and Scott's cages, and he sighed. Where had she gone? He heard the door open and his back collapsed against the back of his cage. But he sighed with relief as he saw who it was that entered. Amelia, the only 'real' human he trusted. She was the only one who actually cared for the bird kids, and she'd been in charge of Blaike and Kit. Because they were the seventeen year old group. She walked over to Kit's cage and knelt in front of it taking his hand.

"How are you feeling?" She asked her bright eyes light with laughter and care, he couldn't help but smile.

"They just injected some sort of stuff in my arm. But I have no idea what it was." Her face fell. "What is it?" Kit asked his eyes filling with worry.

"Oh no, nothing, I just didn't know that was supposed to be done today.." She shook her head. "Never mind that now, I have a way to get you out of here." Her eyes returned to their brightness and Kit's heart flew up to his throat.

"Really?" His voice gave way to his excitement and she quieted him. She handed him a key quietly.

"I know you won't, but if you get caught, say you pick pocketed it." She smiled, her sweet face lighting up. "I'll shut down as many security systems as possible. I don't know what room Blaike is in, but if you can't find her, I'll get her out I promise. Unlock the cages in about ten minutes." She squeezed his hand and left quickly. The others were now alert, knowing they were going to get out. But the real thing they were all alert about was, where was Blaike? No way they could leave without her, plus, the entire group would feel lost without her.

He waited patiently and counted each minute in his head. When he figured that it was okay, he unlocked his own cage and then the others. He turned to Theo, "Get the others out, I'm going for Blaike." He noticed the look in the older boy's eyes that Theo thought this was a completely pointless idea. But Theo responded,

"Sure, fine, whatever. Go find your girlfriend. I'll take them to the forest." With that he and the others ran out of the room and down the white halls of the school. Kit growled under his breath, but raced out anyway. He ran through corridors and down the halls. Theo must have tripped some alarms because they were going off everywhere, and the dumb scientists looked so confused as to what was happening. Kit heard horrendous screams coming from a long hallway and his heart sunk to his feet. He ran in the direction and was relieved to find it wasn't Blaike. He kept running through rooms and hallways looking in every window he lay eyes on looking for her. At last, he found her. She was strapped down to some weird looking machine behind a looking glass, unconscious. He burst through it, the glass shattering into a million pieces. He worked with the leather straps, and finally he got them. He threw Blaike over his shoulders and bolted out of the room and back through all the hallways. There were hundreds of Flyboys on his tail now, but he was certainly faster on foot. He burst through the entry doors and saw the others way off in the distance. His wings burst out of his jacket and he leaped into the air.

He could hear the buzzing of flyboys on his tail and knew they were all catching up. He pumped harder and harder, going as fast as he could to get out of there. He looked over his shoulders and saw the Flyboys were getting extremely close. He felt a nudge from Blaike and knew she was alright. She then heard a slight whisper in his ear. "Drop me." His heart sunk into his chest. What? Was she serious? He looked down and saw all the trees. She couldn't be strong enough to fly..."Drop me!" She said louder. His mind coursed through what the heck her plan could be. But, her weight with his was slowing him down and bringing the Flyboys closer. And he did trust her...So he let go, and she slid from his shoulder and plummet to the world below. He watched her for a moment, and saw her large black wings span out. And she went into the cover of the trees. Two Flyboys followed her and three stayed on him. He turned quickly and kicked the nearest one straight to its, uhm, face? The Flyboy then crashed into the other two and they all went plummeting down together. He closed his wings and flew down to where Blaike was. Taking the two out as he went.

"I can take care of myself ya know!" He heard the familiar voice call out. He landed on the tree branch and she stared at him with an annoyed look on her face.

He shrugged. "You don't think I know that?" He laughed softly then his eyes filled with concern. "You okay?" Her eyes clouded and she rubbed her wrists where the straps had been. He knew how much she hated being tied up, and he hated how much she hated it. It only made him worry about her more.

"I'm fine." She murmured  and turned to him and put on a smile. "Let's go to the others." She jumped up and he saw her stumble a bit in the air. She ran his fingers through his ginger colored hair and jumped up after her.
