Everyone looked at us strangely.

"Well I guess I'm Luci then" Sam...Luci said. Then I was off again, laughing like there was no tomorrow.

When I finally calmed down I realised everyone was looking at me. I took deep breaths and tried to get rid of a really bad stitch while Luci started to ask questions.

"So why are you all in England? Is it something to do with the School and the Institute and such? What are you going to do about the School and the Institute and all of them?" I gaped at how she had said all of that in only a few breaths. I laughed as she breathed deeply catching her breath. Not laughing hysterically just a bit of a snort.

"God you were talking like a Nudge wannabe," I laughed. She smiled and looked at her feet "Except your 13 and... well you know, obviously you're not Nudge...but" I laughed again.

"So you guys are 13?" the Gasman said slightly excitedly. Probably because we're the only other bird kids they've seen (except the uptight one from the Institute in New York). Luci and I both nodded.

"And you..." He lowered his voice, "Have wings?" Luci nodded furiously but I just looked at my feet, knowing something was wrong with my wings. Luci looked at me but shook my head knowing she wanted to ask me what was wrong. I noticed Nudge look at max and she nodded, then Nudge started talking Luci to death.

"So you're just like us then? I mean you have wings and all so you have to be. Unless you're like an imposter, but I don't think so. Not that it would surprise me, but you seem nice to me and Max said you're alright too. Well she didn't say it but I know she thinks it." I saw Luci suppress a laugh, then nod. I scratched my wing but couldn't feel it. I sighed, a little TOO loudly and everyone looked at me.

"What?" I asked kind of snappily and started to pace back and forth in a small line. Thinking, trying to sort through the jumble of thoughts in my head I don't know how long I paced. And then it kind of hit me. You know like a Eureka moment only this wasn't a good thing.

"I'm homeless" I muttered without realising it. And then I heard Iggy sigh quietly,

"Oh yeah!" he muttered, but loud enough for everyone to hear and they looked at him

I looked at him and he frowned in my direction even though I knew he couldn't see me. He really was amazing. In an act of impulse I sat down against the wall of the house we were standing by and smacked my forehead into my hands suddenly very tired and scared about the future.

"I'm tired too" Luci said, to everyone else it sounded random and strange but to me it was scary and strange.

"What made you say that?" I asked staring at Luci fiercely. Not fiercely as in nastily but intently. I looked at Luci intently. She looked at me and shrugged,

"I just kind of knew you were tired." She said almost dismissively but I was freaking out. Not that it showed of course.

"But that's exactly what I just thought" I said kind of louder than I needed to.
