Free Flying, Luna [lightest ebook reader .TXT] 📗

"NO! I'm not leaving! Please!" I was screaming on top of my lungs, "Zero! ZERO!" Zero was trying to reach me but when he broke free of the guards, he was punched and thrown on the ground."Luna! Luna!"Zero yelled,Don't worry I'm coming! I won't leave you!" Zero never breaks his promises I know that, I thought frantically.The guard punched me in the gut and a big gasp came out my mouth.Zero's eyes were turning blazing red. I knew he was about to snap. I couldn't let him be hurt badly. I won't allow it. "Zero!" I yelled, "I'm gonna be fine get outta here! Now!" He looked at me like I was crazy. Maybe I am. All i could think was about HIM getting out of here. Not me. I knew I'd have to resort to this, but I don't wan't to leave him. I punched the guard in the face and sprinted away to the canyon's edge. I looked over the edge, then I looked behind me and saw ALL the guards after me. Zero was struggling against ropes and he yelled, "WATCH OUT!!"
I was about to answer but had no time to because I was hit in the back of the head with a bat. I didn't pass out but I couldn't move so I just layed there helplessly while they tied me up and dragged me by my hair to a van. I heard Zero scream, "I promise I'll come after you! Luna! I Promise!" The van door shut and I saw Zero say something, but didn't hear him. All i knew is that I was screaming, ZERO over and over until a sweet smelling cloth went under my nose, and as I drifted to sleep, I saw Zero beaten and tired still tied up at that tree and I started to cry because I knew I'd never see him again. I think he knew it too.
Chapter 2
I wake up screaming again. I have that dream every night since that day two years ago. He never came, I know he wouldn't lie to me but I always wonder:Does he think it's too much trouble? I don't know what he's doing but he's my last hope to get out of this hell-hole. A guard comes walking past and he throws a rock at me for screaming. They do alot of things. I get to eat every 3 days and it's usually rotton and moldy. We get water from the poluted lake outside, my house is a dog crate and they don't let us go to the bathroom.They let us outside but make us run and see how far we can go until we pass out or die. If we don't get up they beat us to death and throws us in a dumpster or just thrown in a pit. The guard calls and says it's time for outside. I sneak out of the group, and go to my hideout to see Ruu. Ruu is my best friend, and he is a cat. My first day here I was in a daze and didn't eat the food I had and I gave it to him. Ever since then we've been best friends. I spot him in the usual spot but I see a guard and I get stricken with panic. If the guard sees him he will be killed on the spot. I sprint over there and pick him up, as I do, a guard notices and runs after me I sprint for the hole i've been digging for what seems like forever. It's way too small for me, but Ruu can squeeeze through. I wanted to be able to escape with him, and we would leave this place far behind but thats impossible now. I shove him through and cover up the hole just as the guard comes and grabs my throat and starts choking me. He says, "You wanna die freak?" He throws me on the ground and steps on me and gets his knife out and grabs my wrist, which is full of other guard's knife marks. I know what's coming and close my eyes and grit my teeth. I feel the blade on my wrist cut deeper than usual. I scream in pain as he grabs my other wrist and cuts that one as well. He throws me on the ground and spits on me. He says, "I'll come back later and take you back to your cage if your still alive." He smiles and kicks me in the face and I blackout. I wake up to the starry sky and little kitten mews. I turn my head and hear Ruu trying to dig through the dirt. I gather sticks and rocks to cover it up and I fall back down and watch the stars. I look at my wounds that have dirt and blood mixed all the way down my arm and in a small puddle. I wonder why I didn't die? I hear footsteps and look around, I don't see a thing. My head makes a thump as it hits the ground. A couple minutes later I hear it again. I try to move but I hear a deep voice order, "Don't move." All of a sudden I see a tall figure with wings just like mine except this persons are MUCH bigger and stronger looking and dark as night. Mine are dirty and withered looking and haven't been used in a very long time. Thats why i'm here is because of my wings. My wings are supposed to be brownish white but are so caked with mud you can't even tell anymore. The figure steps into the moonlight and I gasp. He whispers, "Luna.... I'm so sorry..."
Chapter 3
Zero's POV
After 2 years of dreaming and searching for this face, I can't belive what happend to her. The sparkle from her beautiful green eyes look dead, and she looks so thin I can see her bones, and I see cut marks on her wrist and they're still bleeding. Pure hatred flares up in me but this isn't the time to murder every single person who hurt her. I have to get her out of here, fast. "Listen... Luna. We have to get out of here while the systems dow- ZERO!!!" she screamed. Even though she's in so much pain she gets up and runs full speed into me and squeezes me so tight that I can't breathe. I don't even care, I squeeze her againts my chest never wanting to let go , but im gentle because she's in pain. I can feel the blood from her wrist going into my back and hatred flares up again. I have to concentrate otherwise this will all be in vain if we get caught. I pull back to look into her face but I want to turn away again and bile rises in my throat, all I wanna do is murder those bas- CONCENTRATE! I take a deep breath and say, "Luna... lets get outta here." She nods and i pick her up and cradle her againts my chest. "Wait," she whispers, "I have to get Ruu..." Ruu? Who's that? I thought. She says, "He's on the other side of that pile if dirt..." I set her down gently as I can next to a tree and go by the dirt. I start digging and hear meows and as soon as there's a hole all the way through, a cat runs through and goes straight to Luna. Luna cradles the cat and says in a gentle voice, "We can go now." I go and pick her up again, and she lays her head down on my chest.
I let my wings stretch out, but as I was about to jump, I hear a guard yell, "What the hell?!" "Hey you!" "Damn", I mutter. Luna's eyes turn wide open and says, "Go now..NOW!" I look at her startled as the guard takes out a gun and points it at us. I start running as fast as I could, and im much faster than a normal human, but I can't outrun a bullet. There's a bang and a sharp pain hits me right in the shoulder. I gasp in pain and almost trip, but my wings kept my balance. Luna crys out,"Zero! Zero! Are you ok?!?!" I look at her frightened face, she's not concernd about herself at all. "I'm fine, Luna" I try to reassure her by smiling, but she can see that I'm hurt, and she's even more worried. I see a ledge to jump off of , but the problem is is that I need to get rid of this guy or he'll shoot us out of the sky. I hide behind a tree, and put Luna down and say, "Stay right here, and don't move an inch." She nods. I run over and sneak behind the guard most likely looking for Luna. I hear the guard say, "Code Black, Code Black. Subject 4757713 has escaped and is being taken away on foot by an unknown person. I repeat a suject has escaped." I kick the guard in the back of the head and he goes out cold. I leave him because he's not worth it. I sprint over to Luna in seconds and pick her up roughly. She winces, "Im sorry, Im sorry, i'm in a rush!" "It's nothing really, she says, where are we going?" I look around and guards are everywhere.My shoulde hurts like hell. This is nothing compared to her scars, im such a wimp. I see the ledge, but i don't know if I can fly with this wound with the both of us. She certainly can't fly. Dammit! What do I do? I have to jump they're gaining on us. I run fullspeed towards the cliff and I jump. My wings spread out, and I feel intense pain, I couldn't help but wince. "Zero? Are you ok?" I look at her wrist, and her wounds are bleeding heavily again, damn I wasn't careful enough."I'm fine, It's you im worried about." She shrugs it off. "I'm fine." About ten minutes later she starts to doze off, "Luna."I shake her,"Please don't fall asleep." I expected her to open her eyes, but it's like she didn't hear me. I start to panic, what if I never see her eyes again? I fly faster to the nearest cave, when I start to get dizzy, I'm about to black out...No. I can't I HAVE to save her this time. I won't let her down again. I land in the cave and stumble to a stop. I find the most comfortable looking spot and set her down. I have to get her something. I look around , and see water dripping from the ceiling, and leaves that got blown in here. I gather all the leaves, and make a bed, and I put a rock shaped like a bowl under the dripping water. I return, and rip off two strips from my jacket, wrap them around her wrists to stop the bleeding. I pick her up and set her down on the leaves, and she was still clutching that cat tightly. I looked at her frail body. She probably hasn't slept well, she obviously hasn't eaten well, I can see pretty much every bone in her body. I feel such guilt, Why did this happen to HER, why didn't they take me instead! They took away
