Prologue 2

Third Person POV

The four kids sat on the outside of a TGI Fridays in San Antonio, Texas. They were practically burning up inside, but that wasn't the reason why they were outside in the first place.

"Oh he's fast." Viola smiled as she saw their target. The waiter. He saw their table and walked over, his black hair resting above vibrant blue eyes.

"Hey, I'm Alexander. I'll be your waiter for today." The handsome boy smiled at them.

"Can we call you Alex?" Zada asked sweetly. He looked suprised but shrugged.

"Can I get you some drinks?" He asked.

"I'll have a sprite." Sebastian said.

"Coke." Zada said.

"Strawberry lemonade" said Viola. Alex looked towards Rin who was waitting patiently with a nassty gleam in her eyes. Zada ignored the gross emotions running through Rins head. Viola glaced at Rin, afraid of what she would say.

"Your drink?" Alex asked. The others were astonished. He handled Rin's piercing gaze with ease. Though his lips twitched, as if he recalled a funny joke.

"I'll have your cu-" Rin was cut off when Viola stuffed a few napkins into her mouth at the speed of light. Zada looked alarmed, already knowing what Rin was about to say. Sebastian looked at Alex, who was smiling with one eyebrow raised. Rin spit out the napkins and Viola scolded her a bit.

"Rin, we talked a about this. You can't be that forward." Viola said. Rin nodded and looked at Alex again.

"You were saying?" Alex tapped his pen on the notepad. Rin tugged on her hair

"Since I can't have that, I'll have a vanilla milkshake." She grinned. Viola shot Rin a look. Rin gave her an innocent smile. With a dashing smile, Alex wrote it down and left with a wave of his hand.

"RIN." Viola and Zada raised their voices.

"Hai.." She replied flatly. Then suddenly, Rin's head popped up. "You guys hear that?" She asked. Viola listened carefully, as did Zada. Sebastian looked up and around. "Cover me." Rin said. Viola shifted her position so she was covering Rin from view.

Rin took off her gray beanie. Black cat ears popped up. Zada squeaked. "Omigod those are so cute!" She reached out to touch them, but Sebastian smacked her hand away.

"She's listening." He said, his face serious. Rin's ears twitched again.

"They're comming." She said. Viola grabbed her bag.

"Let's go then." Viola said.

"No." Zada said, hearing a tangle of thoughts. "Too late. Hide."

The four mutants ran inside the restraunt, making a beeline for the restrooms. On the way, Alex saw them rushing from the kitchen.

Curious, Alex went to follow them. Then he heard it. Well, sensed it. Finding a faster pace, he ran to the restrooms.

But they didn't make it.

Boom! Crash!

The cieling came down as 20+ Erasers rained down. Alex stared in horror as they scanned the area.

His arm was suddenly caught. Alex flipped the eraser over and punched his lights out with ease.

"Rin! Now would be nice.." Sebastian yelled as people started screaming.

"Yeah, Rin please do the freaky eyeball thing." Viola begged. Rin rolled her eyes.

"If I did that, everyone here would be toast. This place is too crowded." She replied. Viola groaned.

"Fine. Sea-bass, untie my bow." Viola crouched down a bit. Sebastian slid the bow out of Viola's long hair and Viola took out a hair tie, tying her hair in a bun.

"Hurry up!" Sebastian yelled. Zada wondered what the heck they were doing.

"Shut up!" Viola took a deep breath and closed her pale violet eyes.

Time slowed.

Viola walked leisurely towards a group of customers. She quickly led them out side. Along with all the rest of the customers. She left Alex where he was. After deciding it was now or never, she stuck one Eraser's finger in his nose. Ahhh. Not bad. She thought.

When she made it back, her energy was running out. Viola ripped off the hair tie and fell to the ground.

"Damn" she cursed, pushing the others towards the back just as the Erasers turned to them.

The front doors opened.

"Stop." A man's voice rang out clear as day. He stepped inside and looked at the kids. He wore a clean white lab coat, a black shirt and black slacks. He held a clipboard and eyed us all.

"Oh yay. We have the last five now. Round them up carefully. I don't want to see a scratch on them...yet." the man left the building and the Erasers grabbed at the kids.

"Now now, mister...I do not appreciate being grabbed that way." Viola shot the Eraser that had her a dirty look.

"Shut up." The Eraser tightened his grip on Viola's arm. She bit her lip, not allowing a cry of pain to escape.

Alex, who was standing next to Rin, lowered his voice. "You know where we're going?" Apparently, it wasn't low enough. Viola heard.

"Oh totally, we're going to Mutants R Us!" She replied loudly. One of the Erasers snickered, causing the lead Eraser to snarl.

"Do you guys have a plan to get out?" Alex asked, lower this time, realizing Rin had pretty good hearing so he didn't have to lean down. Rin hesitated, and shook her head no. "How about a trick of the eye or something?" Sebastian overheard and chuckled over his word choice. Rin smirked and shook her head no. Sebastian gave her a look. Zada looked at her feet. Its not as if she knew anything either.

The van halted to a stop in the middle of the night. Zada and Sebastian were alseep. Viola was whistling, irriating the Eraser holding her.

"Finally!" Sebastian stretched.

"Shut up and sit down. We're just collecting the rest of you freaks." The Eraser holding Rin snarled. Rin laughed aloud.

"We're more human than you guys." Zada remarked. The Eraser rose his hand to strike Zada, when Alex used his arm to block it.

"Not a single scratch." He repeated what the white coat had said. The Eraser growled.

"Yet." He finished. Alex shrugged, moving his arm away.

The back door suddenly swung open. A guy with short sandy brown hair and golden eyes held it open.

"Get out." He said. Suddenly, there were two people behind him. A boy with blonde hair and hazel eyes, and a girl with dark brown curly hair with lighter highlights. They both held guns.

The Erasers slowly released the mutants they had a hold of. They climbed out and backed away from the van.

The blonde boy smiled kindly at Sebastian and Zada. "Don't worry. We're here to save you." He said. The kids nodded.

Rin turned to look behind them. "They're coming. A lot of them." She said. Zada nodded, sensing it too.

The blonde boy and curly haired girl locked the van. "We'll just have to beat them, then." The first boy said, smirking a bit.

"Should we save intros for later then?" Viola asked, tying her hair up. The blonde boy held out a hand.

"Eli. That's Jackson, and the girl is Callie." He said. Viola shook his hand. Callie gave Eli a look. "What? We might die." He said. Viola giggled.

"Viola. Ginger is Rin, barbie is Zada, mini monster is Sebastian." She said. Eli smiled.

"I think its time to focus now." Callie said, slinging her gun around once before getting ready to aim.

Rin wiggled her fingers. "Hai hai." Steel edged claws shot from her nails. Jackson eyed her and whipped out his own razor sharp tallons.

"Twinnzies." He said with a fake girly voice. Rin delicately smiled back at him.

Viola looked up at the Eraser filled skies. How nice.

"Hmm, shall we?" She said, and time slowed once more.

Okiee so the rest of their first battle as a flock shall be finished tomorrow. Hope you guys liked this chapter. Zanie helped me, and she's a pervert so bear with me. I feel super bad cause the last three characters feel rushed, but I'm trying to focus in on characters one at a time. That way everyone has their own fave character.
