"Whoo-hoo!" Nevada screamed into the hot desert sun, flying high above the dusty brown ground happily. She wasn't thrilled with the idea of living in the canyon, mostly because she had a fear of cliffs. Flying over and around them was one thing, but what if she rolled around in her sleep and fell off? Or what if her wing was broken and all she could do was helplessly stand there as the Erasers closed in? Ready to dismember her. Maybe she would jump then and hope for the best.

The blonde did a quick loop in the air, then paused to think. One loop was fun, so what about two? Or three? Or seven? Or what if she pretended to be different animals? She didn't know much about the world outside of the School, but at least all the kids who had lived (more or less) in there were mixed with the DNA of some animal. She had once known a kid mixed with a cat, but he hadn't come back from testing one day...

Shaking the thought from her mind, she quickly performed three loops in a row. Nevada did not feel the least bit dizzy as she started to spiral downward at top speed, squealing the whole time. Freedom! What a beautiful word! It was brilliant like the sun. It was different and new, and she loved it. Extending her snowy white wings a bit, she slowed down and landed on the sandy ground. She looked around for the others, figuring they were all off doing their own thing. She shrugged, sitting down and putting both of her legs behind her head.
