Then:
((Ava's POV))
It was cold and dark. The only light in the room was coming from the lights from the different machines. I couldn't see Nathan. My little 5 year old brother. He didn't know what was happening, or why this was happening. He was so young. Then again, so was I.
I listened carefully for any scientists. When I finally assumed they had all gone to sleep, I picked the lock on my cage and crawled out.
I searched through all the other cages until I found Nathan. He was curled up in the corner asleep. I picked the lock and crawled in there next to him. It was cramped, but better than being alone.
"Ava why are you in here?" he asked blinking awake.
"it's okay Nathan just go back to sleep." I pulled him into my lap and let him lay his head on my shoulder. I played with his hair softly as he fell asleep.
I loved Nathan more than anything in the world. He wasn't safe here and I had to get him out. But what's a ten year old against full grown scientists? Nothing. But maybe one day....

Now:
((Ava's POV))
Years passed since that night in the lab. Nathan and I escaped when I was fourteen and he was nine. The scientists weren't as smart as I thought and we were able to sneak past them while they were dealing with other experiments.
Yep. Im just an experiment. Born to be some bird mutant freak. My parents sold me and Nathan to the lab when we were still just eggs. I have no idea who she is, and I really don't care who she is.
Nathan and I found an old abandoned building. We made a nice home out of it. It looks like nothing from the outside, but on the inside we have a few old mattresses we found and I got a job and was able to buy us some sheets and pillows and other necessities. We have all we need.
Nathan has grown up so much. He's still the world to me. If something happened to him I don't know what I would do.
We are the only family we have, and the only family we need. Life isn't bad. I think the lab forgot about us, because we haven't seen any signs of them since the night we escaped.
Life's great....for now at least.
