Chapter 2
I woke up the susunod araw less cold. I waddled out and breathed in the cold, icy air. It felt nice, but then I heard my stomache growl. I needed food, but who could give me food? Well, I would have to learn how to eat a whole isda someday, guess today's my day. I waddled off trying to catch the faint scent of the salty breeze air so I can follow it. I learned that that's where the isda were.
I waddled very far from the cave, but my mind was on getting breakfast. I arrived at the edge of the sea and look at the water. I've seen the elders push each other off to see if they get eaten. Harsh, but my mom told me that's just how we do things. Since I was alone and I was starving and since I was just a buwan old, I jumped right in. Hoping that there wouldn't be anything in the water, and that I figured out how to swim, fast. I opened my eyes and I could already see schools and schools of fish. Anchovies, to be madami specific. I instinctively started swimming towards the fish. Swimming faster as my body got used to it. I kept getting closer and closer to each of the fishes, but they always seems out of reach. At least it was ligtas to fish... Not.
I was just a beak away from my first bite of breakfast when I was knocked away from it. I was flipping backwards underwater before finally stopping. There, right in front of me, was a sea leopard. I gulped. He looked at me and charged right at me as fast as a bullet. I swam as fast as I could away from it. It just kept getting closer and closer and closer to me. I shut my eyes tightly as I continued to swim. I knew I couldn't outswim it and prepared for the worst.
I felt something warm bump into me and stop me from swimming. I thought I was in his mouth. Yet, I could still feel the rush of the ocean. I opened my eyes and saw a ibong dagat holding me, swimming faster than the predator. The ibong dagat jumped out of the water like a rocket and landed safely on the ground. He set me down once we landed. He had light blue eyes and was tall.
"There you go." he said. "What were you doing down there a few days earlier than expected for chicks about your age?"
"I-I was getting some f-fish." I told him.
"Where are your parents?" he asked. I merely shrugged. "You don't know?"
"Yes, I know exactly where they are. That's why I shrugged." I answered sarcastically.
"Well, let's go find them." he said. He tried pulling my flipper gently in his direction, but I didn't to go.
"No." I ripped my flipper away from him and took a step back. "I don't know where they are and I'm not sure if they're alive anymore."
"Then you'll have to come with back to the HQ." he sinabi as he reached for my flipper again. I stepped back. "I'm not going to hurt you."
"How can I know you're not lying? After all, I don't even know your name." I retorted.
"Oh sorry. My name's Luke. I am part of the resistance." he sinabi as he saluted.
"Resistance?" I think that's when people are rebelling against something... But what's there to rebal against. "Why would you be in a resistance?"
"You don't know?" he asked stupefied.
"No, I do know. I just like to ask people tanong for fun." I rolled my eyes.
"You know, for a chick, you are very sarcastic." he said. "I'll ipakita you the HQ so we can keep you ligtas until we find your parents..." my stomache growled. "... and give you some breakfast. Does that sound okay?" he sinabi the last part in a baby voice.
"I wasn't born yesterday, and I don't have diapers. So what's up with the baby voice?" I crossed my flippers.
"Okay, jeez sorry." he took one of flippers. "Let's go."
*A couple of hours later*
Luke led me to a vacant landscape and we stopped.
"We're here." Luke announced.
"Where? In the Antartican desert?" I asked.
"Before we go in, I have to make sure you look okay." he said, ignoring my comment.
"I have to look good so these people can take care of me? Wow." I said. Luke seemed to notice my birthmark for the first time after walking for miles!!
"A puso birtmark? That's unusual..." The ibong dagat hummed to himself as he studied me. Then his flipper started to reach for me, well, my eyes.
"AHHH! NOT MY BIRTHMARK!!!" I yelled as I cowered. larawan of adults pulling my feathers out popped into my mind. I felt something being placed on my shoulder. It was a flipper.
"I'm not going to rip you're feathers out from your birthmark." he told me reassuringly.
"Then what were you going to do to me?" I asked. His flipper went up to my forehead and matted my feathers into place.
"There. Now we can go inside." he stomped his foot twice then clapped once. The ground underneath us opened and we fell into the hole.

Chapter 1: Surprises
Skipper yawned and took a drink of his isda coffee. The lemurs turned their boom box up way too loud for Skipper's liking. The music was still on. Skipper was confused. All night was too long to dance, even for the lemurs.
"Kowalski!" Nothing.
"Kowalski?" Skipper yelled. Skipper slid over to the lemurs habitat. Spooky background music came on. Skipper decided to investigate. He found the boom box with a note taped to it.
"Say goodbye to your BFF (Julien) and team. Mwahahahaha!"
"Blowhole!"
"Skipper! Help!" Private's voice pierced through the wind. Skipper turned around. A ginormous truck was behind Skipper! There were cages in it that were filled with Skipper's and the lemurs! Skipper tried to save them, but a ninja pinned him to the ground! The truck drove away.

"Red? Dave? Rhonda? Any body? Hello?" I looked around curiously but seen nothing but darkness. Hearing only the sounds of myself echoing throught the small room and the splashing of the water as I moved around trying to figure out were I was. Slowly moving my flippers accrose pader to pader trying to find something but only felt smooth concrete. "What on earth is going on here?!" I started to yell loudly getting frustrated which began to turn into panic when a bright light flashed above forcing me to covering my face with my flippers. "W-what i-is this?"
"Hello, Dr.Blowhole." A mysterious voice sinabi out of no where when removing my flippers from my face to look around once madami seeing this time that I was completely trapped.
"Uhm, h-hello? Who are you? W-where am I?" I sinabi back to the voice which just replied with a not so pleasant laughter.

"Quite interesting. This is a new species." A voice sinabi over my solitary confinement. "A ibong dagat with an ability to fly? How strange."
"But it has teeth too."
It. I thought bitterly that's all they've called me with their sickening tests. I looked at my tattered wings and my pearl colored feathers that were now dyed wine red. It seemed another figure i hadn't noticed saw my red stains too.
"And why is it covered in blood?" there goes the 'it' again.
"Yes, it attacked the other species of its kind sa pamamagitan ng digging it's teeth into the others. Even on its own parents."
"...Was this animal tested on before? did it always have these fangs?"
"No mam. It didn't always have those. it just...appeared... I don't know how. But it is having a dysect. tomorrow evening. We can't cure it. It kills whatever it sees, and it doesn't deserve to live."
And that's when I decided I'd escape.
(So, what do you think? Want me to continue? please comment :D)
