Amnesia
Cleo
I open my eyes to see bright sunlight, and i groaned and sat up. I looked around, and i saw that i was on a bench in the middle of a small clearing. I rubbed my eyes and wearily said, ''where am I?'' I slid off the bench and wobbled a little as i walked forward, and i felt panic run through me as i thought, ''what, who am I? Where the heck am I?''
I felt the blood drain from my face, and I looked down and saw that i was wearing a white shirt and light blue jeans. I saw that my hair was silver, and i brushed it behind my ear and walked through the trees until i reached a small trail. I walked along it, and i saw a jogger ahead. I ran up to him, and he turned and froze. His eyes moved to my shoulder, and he said, ''you are not supposed to be out of the lab. Cleo, come with me.''
I slowly backed away, and i said, ''who am I? How do you know me?'' I looked at my shoulder, and i saw a small mark in the shape of a bird. I looked back up at him, and he said, ''the Black Lotus will find you if you don't come with me.'' He held out his hand, and i heard a girl shout, ''Cleo! Cleo, no!''
I shakily lifted my hand, and i was suddenly being pulled away from the man. A girl with light brown hair was carrying me toward a group of five other kids, and i pulled away and backed away from her in terror. She held out her hand, and she softly said, ''Cleo, it's me. I need you to take my hand, okay?'' The blood drained from my face, and she turned to a little girl with blonde hair and softly said, ''Angel, please calm her down.''
I backed into a tree, and she walked forward and gently took my hand and she softly said, ''Cleo, we need to go. Please come with us, and we will protect you.'' I hesitated, and she stared into my eyes and softly said, ''Cleo, we will protect you.'' I felt my mind numb, and i took her hand and let her lead me to the group.''
I followed them to a small cave, and they led me inside and sat againt the walls. I sat in the corner, and i stared at the floor and felt someone sit next to me. I looked up at the kid my age with silver hair, and he touched my hand and softly said, ''Cleo, do you remember me?'' I shook my head and said, ''I don't even know where i came from or who i am.'' He sighed, and i stood up and felt the room spin.
I steadied myself on the wall, and i felt vibrations coming from outside the cave. I went paler, and i said, ''someone's coming.'' Everyone was instantly on their feet, and a group of men ran in and began attacking us.

Cleo
I backed away, and a man stepped forward and said, ''Cleo, it is time to go.'' The girl with brown hair growled, and she said, ''Jeb, she is not going anywhere with you. You are the reason she is now wanted by the Black Lotus!''
Panic flooded through me, and i stepped forward and said, ''I'll go with you.'' They all turned to me, and the girl said, ''Cleo, he is the reason that you have almost died before!'' I whirled to her and quietly said, ''I do not know who you are. I do not know how i know you, and i do not want to be hunted. I would rather die.'' Her eyes narrowed, and the guy with long black hair said, ''Max, calm down.''
He grabed her arms, and she icily said, ''Cleo, I have protected you for years, and now you are betraying me.'' Angel stepped forward and said, ''Max, she really can't remember anything. She doesn't know who we are.'' I felt my mind go numb, and rocks began to rise into the air, swirling around me. My head spun, and i felt a hand grab mine as a voice said, ''Cleo, calm down.'' I felt my mind return to normal, and the rocks dropped to the floor and broke into powder. I looked up at the boy with silver hair, and i pulled away from him, cracks running up the walls of the cave.
I heard a bang, and the cracks closed. The boy stared at me in horror, and i looked down in confusion and saw a red spot appeared on my chest. I looked up at Max, and memories filled my mind.
She laughed and waved me forward at a small lake, and the boy with silver hait tangled his hands in mine as he kissed me. I remembered their names- Iggy, Fang, Nudge, Angel, Max, Gazzy- and i felt my knees buckle as the memories ended. Iggy caught me, and i stared up at the roof of the cave as the smell of blood filled the air.
Dying
Iggy
I know from the smell that Cleo was the one who got shot. I heard her fall, and i caught her and said, ''now that was a mistake.'' Sounds of battle rang out around me, and i grabbed her hand and frantically said, ''Cleo, you're going to be fine.'' I heard her heart slow, and i heard Fang say, ''let me hold her. I'll get her out of here, Iggy.'' I heard an edge to the voice, and Fang said, ''Iggy, don't listen to him! That isn't me!''
I snapped my feet out, and i heard the imposter hit the floor. I lifted Cleo up, and Max grabbed my arm and said, ''Iggy, it's time to go! She needs help fast.'' I snapped my wings out, and Angel said in my mind, ''she'll be fine, Iggy. She is a fast healer.'' I nodded, and i jumped into the air and followed the flock.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Max
When we finally landed, Iggy set Cleo down and said, ''she needs help.'' I knelt next to her, and i watched the wound slowly start to heal. Iggy walked away and stood silently by a tree, anger showing on his face. He punched the tree, and he growled and said, ''if i could see, I could have saved her! Dammit!'' I winced and gently grabbed his hand, and i bandaged it and said, ''it wasn't your fault. We were all too slow. But she is healing, and she will be better.''
Cleo stirred, and she sat up and looked around, confused. I knelt next to her, and she looked at me and said, ''Max?'' I nodded, and she looked around and said, ''where are we?'' She suddenly clutched her head, and she jumped into the air and flew away from us, her eyes glowing light green. I raced after her, and Angel said, ''Max, don't!'' Cleo turned to me, and she growled and said, ''i must return. They are calling out to me.'' I grabbed her wrist, and she kicked me back and said, ''you don't understand! They won't hurt me. They will protect me.''
Her eyes glowed brighter, and The rest of the flock joined me as i said, ''Cleo, they shot you! Don't let them control you!'' For a secong the glow faded, and then it brightened as she said, ''i belong to them. Why don't you understand? I have no family... no friends. I am meant to be alone, and they are going to help me.'' Iggy slowly flew forward, and she backed away and shook her head as her eyes dimmed as she said, ''I can't fight it for very long. I'm sorry everyone, but i can't win.''
Her eyes brightened again, and Angel said, ''grab her!''
Mind Control/ The Truth
Cleo
I froze at Angel's words, and i felt strong arms grab my wrists and hold them behind my back. I struggled, and i kicked the person holding me and said, ''you have no idea, don't you Angel? Read my mind and see why i am theirs.'' I felt her going through my memories, and she went pale and said, ''no...'' I felt a tear roll down my cheek, and i said, ''you seem so surprised.'' Max grabbed Angel's shoulder, and Angel said, ''I will not let that happen!''
I sighed, and i said, ''don't you see? It happened because of you!''
Tears slid from her cheeks, and i said, ''it happened because of all of you!'' Angel sobbed harder, and Max said, ''what the hell did you do to her?'' I wiped my cheek off, and i said, ''i showed her what will happen if you all try to stop me.'' Max looked at me confused, and she said, ''what happened?'' I felt more tears spill down my cheeks, and i said, ''i'll die. When all of you try to save me, i die.'' Everyone looked at me in shock, and i felt the fuzzyness in my head vanish.
I sank a few inches, and i looked around and said, ''what happened?'' They all looked at me in shock, and I suddenly felt my head spin as i stopped flapping. I sailed to the ground, and Iggy caught me as i passed out.
