"Up! Up! Up!" I whispered gently shaking Nudge. Nudge is only twelve but she acts like a teenager when it comes to waking her up. She rolled over and opened one of her eyes, then moaned.
"She wants you to wake me up first!" Angel said flying over to me. Her blonde curls bouncing a little as she moved up and down. God I needed to get her a shower, usually her curls are really bouncy and full. Listen to me, I sound like a girl. I really should stop listening to Nudge.
"Why are you up?" Nudge mumbled. She rolled onto her stomach and buried her face in her hands. I was pretty impressed, for a girl sleeping on a tree branch she had amazing rolling skills. Why are we sleeping on tree branches you may ask, because our lives are messed up! We where kidnapped from a place called the School four, maybe five years ago. A guy named Jeb got us out. He felt sorry for us, and then two years later he disappeared. We had assumed he was dead but later after Angel was kidnapped we realized Jeb and the other Whitecoats where behind it. Since then Jeb had tried to convince us he was still on our side. Not really working.
Max, we have to go… now! I looked up at Angel's solemn face and nodded. Did I mention that I have a six year old that can read minds and project her thoughts to other people? "Nudge!" I said sternly. Nudge rolled back onto her side and propped herself up with one elbow.
"What?"
"We have to go. Now!" I said pulling her to her feet. Did you know it isn't that easy to get people up when you're in the air. That's right, the air. You see the white coats made us mutant freaks. We're 98% human and 2% avian. We have wings. That's right wings. Currently we're on the run from a group of Flyboys, creepy robot erasers. You don't even want to know.
Nudge looked around slightly annoyed. "Fine," she sighed. "But can we get some food first? I'm kinda hungry, I could really go for some eggs, bacons, sausage, pancakes, muffins, bagels-" Angel had slapped her hand over Nudge's mouth cutting her off. Thanks, I thought so only Angel could hear.
You're welcome. But we are going to get breakfast right? I'm hungry…
"Let's go get breakfast." I flew over to Gazzy and he jumped up.
"Finally! I've been waiting forever, I'm starved. Yo, Iggy, Dylan! Time to get up!" Iggy and Dylan flew off a small tree branch near the top of a tree and came to hover next to Gazzy. This was it. My family, my flock. The only one who was missing was my right wing man Fang. He left me and the rest of the Flock to create his own group. It hurt to much to think of him though.
McDonalds?
"McDonalds" I said.
