Chapter two
And so Kailey, Seeker and Madeline became the first three members of the new Storm Hawks. But all that changed when a skimmer crashed on their Terra. Kailey was outside at the time working on her own skimmer with Seeker's help while Madeline was around the back of the fort trying to save the pathetic little vegetable garden. Turns out Madeline was a lot better with machines then she was with carrots. Kailey had just finished reattaching the left wing when she saw it. A skimmer came falling from the clouds. The engine was on fire and trailing smoke. She could just make out the figure of a person trying desperately to slow their decent. The skimmer was aimed directly for the base of the path leading to the fort. Kailey was on her feet in a second practically flying down the path with Seeker clinging to her shoulder.
The skimmer crashed in a shower of sparks and metal went flying in every direction. Kailey ducked and skidded around falling objects as they rained down around her. Finally she saw what she was looking for. The person. A boy who couldn't be any older then she was lay amongst the pieces. She ran to his side and but her ear to his chest. He was alive! He had short brown hair and a tan complexion. His eyes were closed and his breathing sounded labored and painful. But at least he was breathing. "Seeker." She said to her sky monkey. "I need you to get Madeline." Seeker saluted and scampered off. The boy's eyes fluttered open reveling the dark brown of his irises. He groaned and pushed himself up with his elbows. Kailey positioned herself so she could help support him. He looked at her and seemed ready to run if he had to.
The green eyed girl squeezed his hand in an attempt to comfort him. "It's okay." She promised. "We're the good guys. I'm Kailey." He took a deep breath. "Thomas." He said. Kailey smiled. Thomas winced and put a hand to his head. He closed his eyes and for a scary minute Kailey thought something was wrong. "Thomas?" she asked franticly "you still with me?" he nodded weakly and opened his eyes again. Madeline ran toward them at top speed with Seeker hot on her heels.
"Oh gods…" she muttered crouching beside them. "Madeline and Seeker meet Thomas. Thomas meet Madeline and Seeker." Kailey said. "He crashed." She explained. Thomas had closed his eyes again and wasn't opening them.
"You still okay?" Kailey asked nervously. Thomas opened his eyes again and sat up. "Yeah." He said before getting to his knees with Kailey and Madeline's help. "I think I'm okay." They helped him get to his feet and he looked around at his ruined skimmer. "Crud." He muttered, kicking at a piece of metal. "I can probably fix it for you if you want." Madeline offered which was strange because Madeline wasn't normally very fond of new people. "You don't have to do that." Thomas tried to say but Madeline persisted. "You're welcome to stay with us for a while." Kailey said. Thomas gave her a look.
"You don't even know me." he said. "Are you Cyclonian?" she asked. He shook his head. "Are you an orphan?" he nodded. "Because of the Talons?" he nodded again. "Do you know the Storm Hawks." He smiled. "Of course! My aunt was one of them!" Kailey just about had a heart attack. "What?" she asked quietly. Madeline put a hand on Kailey's shoulder. "What was her name?" Madeline asked. "Piper." Thomas replied, looking confused. He clearly didn't realize why Kailey had reacted the way she had. "You better stay with us." Kailey said, getting over her shock a little. "We need to talk."
A/N: oh my gosh. I was actually going to give up on the story ironically called "Never give up" thank you so much to OneForSorrow333 for reviewing. I'm not sure about Aerrow being dead either or any of the other Storm Hawks for that matter. It was hard but I wanted to give this story a try. I hope to get some more reviews soon and if you just took the time to read this story then I'm thankful. Bye for now.
