Remy- I slide off my leather jacket and roll my shoulders. My beautiful black and white wings unfold. Ahh does it feel GOOD to stretch them out. I slowly put one foot infront of the other and shake the loose feathers to the floor. The fluffy downy feathers drift slowly to the ground as I near the end of edge of the building.
I stand on the ledge and smirk. My wings range about fifteen feet across and let me say they are absolutely STUNNING. I bend over and leap into the air. It feels wonderful, to coast on the air currents and fly. I bend the tips of my wings and make a deep dive. I close my eyes and tilt my fine boned face to the warmth of the sun.
Iggy flew with his finger tips touching Gazzy's. The Gasman guided him through the air and cackled wildly. Iggy didn't say it, but he was worried. He didn't like flying in new air. He felt so lost... All of a sudden Angel gasped. Iggy came into the best sense he could muster, his highly advanced hearing. He heard the sound of wings beating. Flying Erasers? Attacking us now? Because this sound of flapping was not one of the flocks. It was...Softer, more graceful... All of a sudden, he sensed some one in front of him.
Remy- Oh my gosh! It's you! I say while clapping and rising higher. The flock, my heroes. The group of people I've been trying to find since I escaped the school in Nevada. Max, the leader stares at me. Like she's trying to determine whether I'm a threat or not. "Max, she's not evil. She won't hurt us, she's really happy to see us"! Angel the youngest says. I nod, eveything is true. I'm super excited. The flock, the beautiful people that are like me...
"What's your name"? Fang the dark one asks. I smile, thinking they would never ask. My names Remy! I laugh. "And how old are you, Remy?" He asks. I put my finger to my chin in thought. I'm about thirteen, fourteen. Give or take, I say. I examine the flock. Max, Fang, Nudge, Gazzy, Angel and there... He is. Iggy... My heart thuds against my chest. He's less then five feet from me. With his big salt and pepper colored wings beating virtually silent. He's the handsomest member of the flock in my opinion.
Iggy listened very closely. There was another.. kid like him besides the flock? The voice sounded like a girl. "My names Remy"! She said cheerfully. Remy... I've never heard that name before... Iggy thought to himself. He heard someone flying towards him. "You're Iggy. I've heard about you being blind. Hold out your hand". She said with a kind voice. Iggy reluctantly held out his hand. He could feel his arm quivering. Then her skin touched his, and Iggy's mind exploded.
Color dotted in the pupils that made up Iggy's unseeing eyes. He blinked rapidly. Sight flooded at him like a tidal wave. He turned his head, taking in the beauty that had overwhelmed his cornea. A girl with wild tangly dark hair and excited gold eyes with ebony flecks stared at him, along with a scared flock. "What is she doing to you, Ig"? Gazzy asked worriedly. A smile spread across Iggy's lips. "I can... I can see"! He said with wild excitment. The girl, Remy smiled. "I have the ability to project images anywhere Even into your blind eyes. It takes a whole lot of power, and it's only temporary... But I think that you deserve to see. Even for a few minutes". Iggy smiled at Remy, and Remy hadn't quit smiling.
Remy- We sat in a forest, the flock bantering me with questions. Angel was holding a black scottie dog I had failed to notice. May I pet him, Angel? He's such a handsome creature. Angel smiled. "His name is Total. He can talk". She set the scottie, Total down and he walked over to me. I stuck out my hand, and he sniffed it with his cute black nose. "Hello my dear. I'm Total". I gasp. He... He really does talk! I say happily. "Yeah, it's such a joy"... Max said sarcastically. I rub his adorable scottie ears and he growls with pleasure.
After a small dinner of saltine crackers, hot dogs, and pudding packs supplied by me, I lay on my stomach and stare at the sky. It feels nice, to be around people who are like me, most of all it's nice to be able to see the stars, and stretch out, not cramped up in a dog cage. Gazzy let out a loud, long fart, while I, Iggy, Fang and himself burst into laughter. Max, Nudge, and Angel cringe away from the smell. "How are you able to bear that stench"? Nudge gags. I shrug, I don't mind it at all. It's only a fart. "Only a fart? You obviously haven't been around Gazzy long enough then". Iggy chuckled darkly. I smirk and scoot next to him. I have the secret delight of watching pinkness blossom on his cheeks.
Iggy sat silently, he listened to the sound of Remy breathing. He closesd his unseeing eyes and replayed the image of seeing... Of seeing the flock, and seeing her. Wild and tangly hair with strange gold eyes. "So... Remy, how did you manage to project those images? Must they always be transferd by touch"? He asked. Remy was silent for a moment. "No... I can project images anywhere, I don't have to touch, just focus"... Remy said nervously. "Then, why did you take my hand"? Iggy asked quietly. "...I wanted... to hold your hand"... Remy said in a whisper. Iggy felt himself flush. "It's stupid I know". Iggy heard her stand up, and the sound of Remy's wings unfolding.
Iggy turned in the way he heard Remy heading in. "Where are you going"? Iggy asked. What was with his voice? It was coming out wrong... It sounded choked and restrained. His throat felt as dry as sandpaper. "Away, I don't belong here"... Remy said sadly. Iggy stepped in her direction and tried to grab her hand. Iggy didn't want Remy to leave... He didn't know why, but the thought of hearing her wings flap away from his, made him feel miserable... He reached for her hand again, but missed. He just grazed her hand, he was'nt able to securely lock onto it, before she shot into the night sky like an arrow. Though, not before she projected a steady image of her silloheutte vanishing from the light of the moon...
Remy- I wipe my eyes as I flap far into the night. The hidden headset in my ear buzzes staticaly. I hit the ON button. "Have you secured their location"? UD's gruff voice says over the static. Targets have been located and are ready to be t-t-terminated... I say hoarsly. "Good, very good". UD says, and I keep flying steadly. I have to put as much distance from myself and the flock. The feelings I have for Iggy, are true. I did not make them up. Though, I have to survive, past my experation date. I know if I stay by myself, I'll make it...
Experation Date on Subject 19- 8/12/11
Current Date- 8/9/11
Iggy couldn't belive that Remy left... It was the next morning, still no return. She left so fast, she forgot her knapsack. Max had been digging in it, and found boxes of cereal, a carton of orange juice, sardines, matches, and bread. Iggy couldn't understand, why she had left in such a hurry... It seemed, odd...Why had she left her pack? There was plenty of food in there... It didn't make sense. All except for Iggy where eating Remy's food. He couldn't figure out why, but something in his mind was screaming at him...
Suddenly, something in Iggy's mind clicked. It was like a knife in his heart. "Flock! Quit eating that food"! Iggy said. Instantly the flock quit chewing. "Why not Ig"? Gazzy asked. Iggy swalllowed the lump in my throat. "Remy, she's an Eraser". The flock hacked out the chewed up food. "How do you know"? Gazzy asked. "Because, she's right herre"...
A flyboy emerged from the trees, he held Remy by the throat. She had her eyes closed and was breathing slowly. He had the satisfaction of watching the flocks' faces, of horror of their supposed friend having the life squeezed out of her slowly just as she was about to possibly surpass her experation date. "Remy"! Iggy gasped. "Don't get her wrong, she is a traitor. She ratted you out, though she was on her way back, to warn you, and the stupid bird fell into my trap."
Iggy heard Remy gasping for air, and the fly boy's mechanical laughter. He heard Remy beat her wings slightly, as if she were trying to escape, though she knew it was hopeless... "Let... me.. free"... Remy choked. The flyboy seemed to be squeezing harder judging by how Remy seemed to be panting.
Remy- It hurt to breathe... Like metal prongs were digging into my windpipe, becuase well there was! I gagged for air, each time i did so, the flyboy dug its metal further into my throat. The flyboy laughed mechnically at my pain. I was so close to my experation date... so very close... I open my eyes, and see the anger, hurt, betrayel and hatred written cleanly across each of the Flock members' faces. Especially Iggy's. I shut my eyes again, and project into Iggy's mind...
Iggy lost focus of the sound of Remy being choked to death. Instead he saw and heard the projections in his mind. Remy stood in a field of wavy green grass, flower petals drifted lazily around her, and she was smiling... Her eyes were no longer gold, but a beautiful brown. She let her wings out, and through the sunlight streaming behind her, she looked ike an angel... "Iggy... I'm going to die, if not by this flyboy's hand, then at my own... My experation date is in a few days... I just wanted you to know and tell the flock this... I'm sorry... I really am. Iggy mentally reached out to Remy, her image began to falter. "Iggy, I just want you to know... I love you. I love you alot"...
Remy- I stopped the projection after my confession. Iggy stared blindly in my direction. His expression is a lovely mix of hatred and well hatred! I suck in my breath as the flyboy gets a good grip on my wings and then SNAP! Waves of increasing pain roll through me, as I feel every bone in each part of both my wings break. My knees go out, and suspends me by my broken wings...
Gazzy watched in horror as Remy's wings broke. It was a sickening sound that made his stomach turn. Iggy turned even more pale. "LET HER GO"! He snarled and ran forward, being that he couldn't see, the flyboy had an advantage. He thrust Remy infront of him, using her as a sheild. Iggy swhng, and instead of hitting the flyboy in the stomach, he got Remy. She sucked in her breath loudly. Iggy instantly knew by the softness of her stomach, that it was'nt the flyboy that made thhe ooomph sound...
To top off the fact that the girl Iggy had feelings for, he had just nailed her full force in the stomach. Perfect! He spat. He wanted so badly to hurt them both, but he knew hurting Remy would only cause other problems. He couldn't see, and he didnt know if Remy was strong enough to project...
