Chapter 2
Max's POV
Here we are, back at the School. We were captured by Erasers for some new experiment. Something to do with canine DNA. But they just left us there, no experiments whatsoever. Then I overheard whitecoats talking about starting the experiment tomorrow. Great. It's all my fault.
"It's not your fault, Max." Angel, the youngest of the flock, has the strangest powers. One of them is reading minds.
"Angel, two words: privacy please. Now how about helping me get out of here?"
The door opened. An eraser walked in, carrying a dog crate in his arms. I heard growling from the crate. Then a voice.
"Let us go, mutt face!"
The Eraser just laughed. "Shut up! Or the wolfdog dies."
Wolfdog?
The girl stopped yelling, but the growling continued. The Eraser threw the cage, and it landed next to me. Then three more Erasers came in, each carrying another dog crate. They threw theirs in the room, then shut the door.
I looked at my flock. Nudge, Fang, and Gazzy were staring at the newcomers. Angel was staring intensely at the girl's cage, trying to read her mind. Iggy- well, he's blind, but he heard enough to know what was going on.
An uncomfortable silence settled through the room as the two groups analyzed each other. There were four of them: the girl, and three boys. Suddenly, Angel gasped. "What is it, sweetie?" I asked. She looked absolutely terrified.
Finally, she spoke. "I looked in her mind, Max. The things I saw..." She shuddered. "I saw her looking at the other three. But... their eyes were golden."
