Chapter 2

Shadow POV

"Shadow, Shadow, Shadow" An annoying voice repeated in my ear. "Wake up!" my eyes shot open and I sat up fast hands curled into fists. The person speaking had been Talia. I sighed. She was always the first one up and had the habit of waking up me when she got up. I was about to close my wings, when Zack shivered. I closed them and took off my jacket laying it over him.

"What do you want Talia?" I asked her. She bit her lip and glanced at my back pack. Then back at me. Her Large Brown eyes pleading. Yep she was hungry.

"Help you, but don't go over board" I said standing up and stretching. Everyone was asleep how I had left them last night. I looked around again and smiled when I found Silent asleep his head on his back pack.

I walked to my pack and snatched it from Talia before she took to much food. I tossed her a pop tart and a water bottle. She smiled and went back to her spot and began eating. I grabbed a water bottle and sat back down by Zack. I opened the bottle and gradually took a sip. The cool water felt good against my dry neck.

Soon Ian was awake. He sat up and shook the dust from his hair. His hair was blond, well more of a dirty blond. It was long and partially covered his eyes. Which it didn't really matter. He was blind anyway.

"Morning Ian" I said and he turned his head to my direction, focusing on the sound of my voice.

"Morning Shad, toss me a pop tart and some water" He said rubbing his tired eyes.

"Sure" I grabbed a pop tart and water. "Here they come" I tossed them over the fire that had gone out during the night and he caught the water with no effort, but missed the pop tart. Instead the pop tart nailed Bright in the head. She shot to her feet and was in fighting stance in a second. I was so proud of her

"No ones attacking Bright" I took another sip of water, "Not unless Ian's pop tart is a threat"

"It is very deadly!" Ian growled. "It will kill you!"

"I want to see it try" He sprang over Talia and tackled me into the ground. Pinning my arms above my head. He was and is twice as strong as me, when he wants to be.

"Eat the pop tart!" He shouted playfully trying to cram it in my mouth. I turned my head each time and it smashed into my cheek. Eventually he figured out what I was doing and held my head in place.

"This is assault! Help me!" I cried to everyone. Everyone was awake now and watching us to see what was happening.

"Shut up and eat the stupid pop tart"

"Never!" I shouted squirming under his grip.

"Alright Ian Let her go" Silent Stepped up pulling Ian off me. "Go eat your stupid pop tart"

"Fine" He grumbled walking to the back of the cave. I stood up and dusted off my jeans.

"Thanks Silent." I said, he nodded. "Now guys we need to keep moving, we don't want the school to get the upper hand and find us. I say we head east over to New York."

"Why New York?" Leo asked shoving his jacket in his bag.

"Full of Freaks. We'll blend" Came Silent's calm cool voice. I swear he didn't have any other tone.

"Exactly, we'll blend in, and we can keep looking for schools in that area" I explained. "We all know the institute is over there, we might be able to take them down"

"Key word might!"

"Shut up Leo! I actually want to go to New York unlike some people!" Bright said scowling at him. I smiled lightly ruffling her hair.

"Ignore him Bright. He's just being a pain in the butt" I said. "But first off were going to need disguises so anyone from 'The School' Wont recognizes us." The guys groaned, but the girls looked excited.

"OK my Little Fashion Diva's I know you have make up and a bunch of other stuff in your packs so get them out and make us all look different!" I said sitting down. Talia and Bright squealed in excitement and jumped up raising towards there packs.

"This is bad idea" Silent said sitting beside me. I jumped slightly looking over at him.

"Yeah I know. Bad idea letting them give us make overs. Now shut up or I'll let them dye your hair pink" He rolled his eyes, knowing it was a joke.

"Shadow! What color do you want you hair to be!" Bright called from over by her pack. She was pulling out a crap tone of hair dye.

"I'd like to keep my hair black thank you very much!" I yelled back. They came walking over with 4 bottles of hair dye.

"Alright! Shadow your going to be a red head, Silent blonde, Ian and Leo Black hair"

"Objection!" Silent and I both yelled at the same time. The Younger three giggled and I shot them glares.

"I am not gonna be blonde!" Silent said, as I mentally pictured him as a blonde. I couldn't help but smirk at the thought.

"And I am defiantly not having red hair! You know I hate red heads!"

"Then why do you have red streaks?" Leo called from where Talia was dying his hair black.

"Shut up!" I yelled at him, "Silent I'll make you a deal. You go blonde I'll go red head. Deal?"

"Fine" He muttered crossing his arms.

"Alright let's get this over with" I said as Bright came over with a bottle of red hair dye. This was gonna be a long day...
