(no, so the blonde in the dirty blonde color is more apparent towards the top and the brown is more pronounced toward the ends) (That could only work in the same way I mentioned above, if her hair is fairly long and it's naturally lightening as she ages (making it fully blond in a few years))

Katia let out an alarmed screech that was surprisingly high-pitched as something crashed into her from behind, her mind only having a second to register something coming before it happened. Though it didn't feel nearly as big as an Eraser, she immediately went into fight-or-flight mode, kicking out with her legs and arms as they both slipped down the hill. Once they had finally been stopped by a bush, she instantly began scrambling to get her bearings and get out of the branches. Once she found nothing else gripping or tugging at her, her pushed herself back onto her feet and tried to run, only to quickly slip again on the smooth tree needles. Still scrambling, she risked a glance backwards to see how far her attacker had gotten, pausing when she noticed the outfit that matched hers. Even if he had been an Eraser who shifted back, surely he wouldn't wear that? Maybe he's one of the ones who also escaped. She wondered briefly.

The screech had definitely left Emmets ears ringing, and as he scrambled out of the bushes he let out another yelp, pain radiating from his ankle as he stepped down on it. He glanced around wildly, eyes landing on the girl that wasn't too far from him. She was wearing an outfit like his, so no doubt she was some type of experiment. He had shut his wings back into his back, well aware of how feral he must look. His blond hair was practically black from the smoke, and his skin didn't fair much better, but along with the blackish smudges were dark red marks, scratches and burns from his escape. He blinked his green eyes, studying her in interest. "Sorry," he finally managed softly, his voice sounding a little high as he spoke, only slightly rough from misuse. He usually tried to practice speaking when the white coats weren't around.

(I'll post for Reed in a sec.)
Still staring, Katia drew in a shaky breath and looked him over, noticing more details like that he was obviously in the fire, and had fared worse than her. "You're sorry?" She asked, trying to remember what the word meant. It means you regret it. She realized, remembering the whitecoats using it when she had bitten or kicked them. But I was never sorry. "Y-you have wings?" She wondered aloud, noticing something on his back similar to her. She had never seen one like her, and was already quite surprised about his intelligence, or being able to speak. It meant he was old, successful.

Once back inside, Reed emptied his shirt-pouch of tomatoes into a bowl, raising it to Mars as he brought it to the table. "Want some tomatoes? There's not much in the fridge that's edible but milk." Sitting down at the table, he took another of the smaller tomatoes and began slowly eating it, hoping the others would be up soon before he ate all of them on his own.

Now that he'd gotten a good look at her he realized she was younger than him, despite them being in similar size. The next question that came out of the girls mouth shocked him, but he gave a small nod before spreading his pale wings slightly so ahe could see them better. "Yup. You do too, im guessing," he responded, his curious nature getting the best of him as he scooted closer to the girl. He was being a lot more quiet than he usually was, he'd even talk back to the white coats, which got him absolutley nowhere but the moment he started learning Words he really couldn't stop. Once he was older he learned which white coats he could get away with talking to and which ones he couldn't. "Are you from the school too?" He asked as he inched his way towards her, green eyes wide with fascination. He'd never met another mutant like himself before, not one with wings.

Katia's brown eyes stayed trained on Emmet as he spoke, inching backwards as he moved closer. Nodding in response, she shifted uncomfortably as she watched him, her muscles tensed to run. He's awfully odd...like most of them. "Where are you going?" She asked, wondering if her had more of a plan than her, or even knew more about the outside world. It made her almost as jumpy to be around another mutant in the open as it would to be standing next to an Eraser, and she was hoping to find a definitive reason to either stay with him or run away.

Mars was brought back to reality from his thoughts when he realized that there was a voice speaking, asking him a question. He raised his eyebrows and snapped his attention to the kitchen where Reed was standing, holding a bowl of tomatoes. At the mention of all that was in the fridge was milk, he shrugged. "Yeah, sure, why not." Mars stood to his feet, stretching his limbs before padding into the kitchen on black socked feet. He picked up one of the tiny tomatoes and popped it into his mouth, chewing. "These from the garden? They're especially good today. Or maybe that's because I'm hungry. Either way." He shrugged sheepishly.

Emmet gave a small shrug, pausing once he noticed she was backing away. He gave a small shrug, wrinkling his nose at the thought of having a plan. "I have no idea. I'm just trying to get as far away from that horrible place as I can." He responded, glancing at her with wide green eyes. "You wanna come with? It might be better to have us stay in a group, hey, what do you call yourself anyways?? One of the nicer white coats showed me my name once. Said it was Emmet, so that's what I go by," he chattered, friendly now that he realized the girl wasn't much of a threat.

Form - Twist ~ Seven -~- Female Twist stands at about five feet even, with the looks of someone of latino descent. Her skin is a honey color, and she has long, bushy black hair. She has a white chunk of hair to her left side, much like the white-crowned sparrow, the bird she shares her DNA with (although the bird has three stripes and she only has one). She has wide chocolate colored eyes, and freckles spot her nose. She can be a bit on the shy side at times, not liking new people or change very much, but is a little ball of energy around her family. She has a nearly eidetic memory, and, unfortunately because of that, still remembers bits and pieces of the school. She won't sleep alone because of this, usually crawling into one of the older kids beds in the middle of the night, getting spooked by some noise she heard. Sweetclover1 -~- Original

Reed nodded. "Just picked them. And they're probably around their peak about this time in the summer. Makes me glad we live out here in the mountains," He noted, remembering the days they had to spend all day outside in a town or city in July. "Well, what'da you think we should do today?"

Katia frowned. "I'm Katia." She responded, pausing for a moment before continuing. "I was going that way," She pointed behind her. "...are you going to follow me?" She didn't want to follow him, but didn't think they should split up either. She did need as much information as possible, and he could probably help with that. Smiling to herself, she turned and looked back the way she was heading, trying to see past the trees.

"Sure! How long dyou think it'll take for us to get out of here? Or are we just gonna live out here for the rest of our lives? I kinda want to go and see what a 'city' looks like. From what I've heard the white coats say it's insane, there's lots of people. Maybe some of them are nice, I don't know, but it'd be better than living here, right? Or maybe we could go to the mountains, cuz there's some people but not a ton. Then we could practice flying more. Have you tried yet? I haven't. I've just been using my legs, but I want to try soon." Emmets voice cut through the silent woods, following the younger girl happily. He was a people person, relieved he didn't have to live alone now that he escaped. -- Twist let out a small whimper from Reeds room, terrified when she woke up alone. She shot out of the bed immediately, peering out into the living room, looking for one of the other flock members, just to make sure she wasn't left behind. The girl had her poofy hair tamed into a braid, and was wearing pajamas with little frogs on them.

Katia stayed silent while Emmet talked, picking her way around sticks and rocks as they made their way through the forest. "I don't know how far the trees go, but I did try flying." She responded when he eventually stopped, or at least paused. She didn't think she had many answers for him. Looking up to the sky, a small idea sparked. "I think I'll try to climb the tree." She mused, stepping closer to one and testing to bark for hand holds. "I think I could see if there's a city from there, what would it look like?"

Katia nodded, beginning to climb. "Then it would be shiny, right?" She assumed, reaching the branches and pulling herself up onto the lowest one. Surprised it didn't start to crack, she glanced back down at Emmet before reaching up to the next one. "You can try to fly first, but I'm only going to if you don't hurt yourself." She gave a small smile down at him before beginning to disappear in the needles.
(Yeah XD And Katia's like the opposite so she doesn't understand.)

Mars raised his eyebrows before taking another small tomato from the bowl and popping it into his mouth. "I have no clue." He admitted truthfully. There wasn't really much to do out in the mountains without going to the city, and they usually only went to the city for milk since they were just a bunch of kids without money. "Is the milk still good? Do we need to go get more?" He asked.

Katia shook her head though she didn't think Emmet could see her. "No, there's too much tree." She called down to him, quite unsure what branches were called. As she pulled herself up past the next few branches, her head broke through the pine needles as the branches got shorter. Opening her mouth in a silent gasp, she could't help feeling a bit scared as she saw how high she had gotten. Though she had wings, she was still afraid of heights. Looking across the trees, she immediately noticed where they ended not too far off. "That might be a city." She mused aloud, only half to herself. A large clearing stretched farther than she could see, everything looking gray or white inside it. "It seems awfully...flatter than I would think. If they're buildings they're smaller than the School."
Reed nodded thoughtfully. "Should be, how long ago did we get it? One week, two?" He really couldn't remember. But either way, until it started turning solid they should keep trying to drink it, as they didn't have enough money to waste. "Well, I guess we could either stay inside or explore the woods. I'll see what the rest of us think when their up." He decided, beginning to wonder why no one else was looking for food yet. He didn't even think he'd seen any of them in the hallway between the bedrooms and the bathroom to get dressed, making him assume they were still asleep.

Elliot let out a small yelp as some smaller branches scattered a top his head, some landing on his burns. One of them hit the bad one on his shoulder, forcing him to freeze in pain for a few moments. After he was able to get the burning sensation under control he scrambled up to Katia, settling on the branch just above her as he peered at the dull lights. "Well. Let's try to go that way then. " he responded, branch swaying slightly in the breeze. He was crouching on it, his currently long hair fluttering in the breeze. The boy was planning on cutting it the first chance he got, hating the weight of it. He was clutching the branch, the height not scaring him much. He peered down, before a devilish look flitted across his features. "Dare me to jump?" -- Twist had returned to her room, too tired to be scared once she knew the older boys were still there. She felll asleep quickly, but entered a nightmare that caused her to wake up screaming and running into the hallway, panting when she thought Erasers were there. Her eyes looked around wildly for one of the older boys, shiny from unshed tears as she took deep breaths and stepped into the living room, heart still pounding as she looked for the boys.

Aniar looked up as his sister came trudging down the stairs, the weight of vibrations alerting him of who it was as he kept staring out the window in the kitchen, leaning casually on the counter with a small plate of the tomatoes in front of him. Aiya jumped up onto the counter next to him and casually stole some of the tomatoes, an innocent look in her crystal blue eyes. "Really Aiya?" Aniar complained and frowned, his gaze locked on her face to read what she would say in reply. Aiya shrugged and signed while speaking, making it easier for her brother to understand what she was saying, "yes really, it was just sitting there so why not?" With those words, she popped one of the stolen tomatoes into her mouth.

Katia gazed towards the city for a moment longer before looking up at Emmet. Nodding curtly, she pressed her back against the trunk to give him room, watching him intently. If he succeed in flying, she needed to try exactly what he did. And if he didn't she'd need to come up with some other ideas, since starting from the ground clearly hadn't worked. Maybe I'm just not strong enough yet. She thought, stretching her wings out a to see how natural it felt.
Giving a start when Twist screamed from the bedroom, Reed was about to run in there when he noticed her already at the edge of the living room. As he made his way over to her quickly, he glanced past her into the bedroom, still worried after all the time that Erasers would appear. Not seeing or hearing anything, he looked back at the young girl in front of him. "Twist? What happened?" He asked, not frantically but with a hint of panic.

His grin widened as he peered at the ground. If this didn't work he'd probably break a bone. That'd suck but he'd live through it. He stretched out his mottled wings, dark brown, gold and white splashing together creating something at least something interesting to look at. Without a second thought the blond boy let out a yell and leapt, closing his wings for a second before snapping them out, crying in pain as his injured shoulder was jerked forward but he pushed down, then up again, flying but doing so incredibly awkwardly. Man, this was a lot of work. He managed to climb his way back up to the tree, getting the hang of it. "Look! I'm doing it!" He crowed, dropping back down a good hundred feet just for the rush, snapping his wings down at the very last second, his tips brushing the ground as he flew back up. -- Twist let out a small sniffle, shrugging. "I went back to my room and had a night mare," she explained. Once Reed was gone she still wanted to sleep so she tried to sleep in her own room for the first time. She studied her bare feet, looking embarrassed that she had scared him. "Sorry that I scared you," she added, the tears gone from her eyes now as she looked up at him with wide eyes.

Katia watched Emmet, first in fear but then in awe, as he awkwardly managed gain height using his wings. Frowning in determination, she edged back out along the branch she was on so she was nearly at the edge, looking down before back to Emmet. "Should I go?" She asked him, wanting to make sure they didn't hit each other once they were both flying. Stretching her six-foot wings, she gave them a few flaps as she got ready to jump.
Reed nodded, his heart still beating fast despite knowing nothing was wrong. "It's fine, keeps me alert." He told her, giving what he hoped was a reassuring smile. He always seemed to forget how old Twist really was, between how smart she seemed and how she already reached his shoulder in height. "Do you want breakfast? We have...milk and tomatoes, but you could look in the garden if you want something else." He asked, glancing towards the kitchen.
(I've added a little floor plan of the cabin I made when this roleplay started if anyone wants to check it out X3 I know they won't be there long, but I love having references so we all have the same idea.)

"Do it!" He urged, gaining height so they didn't crash into each other once she made the leap. He couldn't believe that he was actually flying- he'd dreamt of this moment for years, how he'd be kissing the sun as he flew through the air, towards some form of unknown but hopeful future. "Once we get the hang of it we can head towards that city!" He added excitedly, seeming to bounce up and down in the air, if that were even possible. - Twist shook her head, wrinkling her nose. "No 'matos, they make my skin itchy," she reminded him, grabbing his hand as she tried her best to calm down from the night mare. The little girls hair was sticking out all over, a complete and utter mess and she still looked a little tired despite just waking up. "Are we gonna have to go back to the city to get food? Or are we gonna have to leave the cabin for forever and find a place with more food?" She asked with wide eyes. She liked her room in the cabin, even if she just spent most of her time in one of the older kids rooms.
