Reading Addicted here! North Korea is being reckless as usual. Does anyone know how to survive a nuclear war? Anyway, please review and have a lovely day!
I shot out of the room faster than a caged bird when the cage door was opened. The memory, my first memory of happiness, held my secret. I ran down the hallway to the room that I had slept in earlier, only to be stopped by the door. I still couldn't open doors!
'Jazz!' said Iggy,'what happened?" I gave him a terrified mew and curled into a ball, just like in the memory. He looked confused, and then knelt, after sensing my movement. He reached out his hand, but he stopped remembering that I didn't like physical touch. He sighed and ran a hand through his persimmon colored hair.
This was typical body language for an irritated male. The horrid Whitecoats did it when a mutant was having a fit, going into a shock, or retaliating from their hits. My ears twitched and I could hear his light, airy, breaths coming from his cavernous nostrils. Without warning, he picked me up bridal style and started running with me. I didn't actually know what a bride was, but I knew the term of carrying a person in such a way.
I yelped and attempted to impale his arms with my syringe sharp claws. I struggled futilely. There was two feet of height distance and he was much stronger due to the right nutrition. My strength was in my legs and hands, used for climbing, gripping, and running.
We reached a door and he opened it to reveal Outside. It had been at least two days since I had been Outside. I gasped in shocked and stopped struggling, but Iggy held onto me tighter still. He ran even faster towards…. a cliff.
I shrieked and squeezed my eyes shut tighter than an Eraser's maw around an unruly experiment's leg. Iggy chucked and exclaimed" You might want to hold on, Jazz. You're in for a wild ride. And with that bit of advice he hurtled us off the mountain.
I screamed and was going to close my eyes when Iggy whispered gently into my ear" Look up, Jazz." I did so, for I feared of angering him. My brain went into overload. The sight was so amazing; the Endless Expanse was such a vivid color, called blue. It stretched for what seemed to be eternity, never ending, always leading Beyond. It was an infinite wonder, getting smaller and smaller by the second.
Oh yeah, we were falling, and the ground was 50 feet away! I braced my self for a sudden quick death, when Iggy's wings shot out of his shirt and started flapping. His wings were the color of sand in a desert, but without the blood that I soiled it with. We slowly rose to the other side of the chasm. We reached the other side and he set me on my feet. He did it slowly, as if he wanted to keep holding me close to his rapidly beating heart.
I knew he couldn't see me, but it was like he was looking into my very being and examining what was in my heart. He said' That was fun wasn't it?' I kicked up some dirt in response. Why does he keep asking me questions when he knows I can't answer him? He sighed and ran his long, narrow fingers through his hair a second time.
His sightless eyes bore an intensity that made me take a step away from him, and right over the cliff.
Heheh Cliffhanger! I'll be updating more often for the next week or so, because it's SPRING BREAK! Call your parents and tell them you love them, and have a lovely day!
