Chapter Two- Back to the swing of things
A/N: Okay, just to let you know, this is probably the worst of my writing, back in July 2009. My skills have improved deeply, and I hope you continue to read.
"Frenna!" Max shouted and I jumped three feet out of my tree. And I was back in regular time, 15 again.
"God, Maxi-Pad! Don't do that when I'm in my trance! You scared the living daylights out of me!" I replied to her, and Fang cracked a smile in his "sleep".
"Oh shut up emo boy, let's see you look into the future. Or are you going to blend into the shadows?" I retorted. Then I heard someone snort, and I turned my head to see Iggy up. My mood brightened ten fold as he came and took my hand after sitting next to me.
"Yes, well, not all of us have cool and freaky skills, Frenna. Like being super strong or seeing the future. Or reading minds or feeling colors." Max said, defending Fang.
"Or blowing huge gas bubbles!" threw in Gazzy, and he let 'er rip right then and there.
"OH MY GOD!! Gazzy WHAT DID YOU EAT!!" Nudge screamed, who flew about 200 feet up from us.
"I'm following her lead," said Angel. "Good idea." And like that she was up with Nudge as well.
"Good morning children." came a creepy voice that sent chills down my back, and had Iggy grab my arm in case we needed to flee.
"That's a new voice Gazzy," Max said. "haven't heard it, it's creepy though." She seemed at ease, but Fang was making scans of the area with his eyes, and he knew something wasn't right.
"Max...that Wasn't me..." Said Gazzy in a small voice.
"Of course it wasn't Gasman, Now, Maximum. You have two options: you may come with us and answer our questions, or your flock will be destroyed, and we will make you watch it over and over. Choose. Now." said the voice.
"Max!" I shouted, and pointed to all the mutants around us. They were ugly things, unlike anything we had ever seen before. They had skipped attempting to make them look human, and their skin was like leather. Their eyes seemed to be human, but they were bright florescent green, and had something oozing out of them. As if they could hear what I was thinking, one of them wiped the gunk from their eyes and put it on a branch. The branch disintegrated, just like that. My mouth opened in horror, and I let out a small gasp.
"I could hear it, Frenna. What are these things?!" Iggy whispered to me. I swallowed and let my raptor eyes take in as much as possible. Then I tapped his back once, our signal to wait for Max's signal. He nodded slightly, and whispered something that I couldn't hear, right before the mutants attacked.
