Hey guys! I'm sorry it's taken so long for me to update but you finally got what you want right? I mean it's longer then my usual updates, so just be happy. And PLEASE R&R? I know i've said this alot but I really want some feed back. You have to sign in to review now. But isn't it worth it to help little ol' me?

I couldn't bear the pain in my chest any longer and exhaled roughly as a wave of relief washed over me. "Okay, you can hold your breath a lot longer then me." Gage admitted after we finished ordering our food. I smiled and nodded smugly. I looked around the cafe and immediately became aware of what was happening.

There were a about ten people who were watching the football game, completely ignoring our existence, but another three were glaring directly at us. Something tells me we weren't getting our food.

"Guys..." I said low-toned turning back to them.

They both immediately froze knowing that something was wrong.

"How many?" Swift asked from acrossed from me not looking up from her food.

"I only saw three. There is an exit at the back of the cafe I can see it from where I'm sitting. On the count of three you two make a break for it, and I'll hold them off for as long as I can." I ordered. They both nodded.

"One..."

Before I could say two, all hell broke loose.

Glass from all the windows shattered, covering the ground and everyone that was watching the football game. Immediately panic struck and screams echoed threw the cafe. Swift, Gage, and I jumped up and dashed towards the exit.

"C'mon, We've got to get out of here!" I exclaimed motioning for an up-and-away.

Swift was the first to hit the sky with Gage following. I had just extended my wings ready to make a break for it when an eraser slammed into me from the side knocking me to the ground.

I scowled hoping up from the ground. They just couldn't leave well enough alone now could they? I whirled around and planted a solid punch in the Eraser's half-morphed nose, breaking it.

As I ran toward the next Eraser, another came up behind me and slammed his leg into my side. I grimaced in pain and stumbled a little bit.

I turned my head giving him my one of a kind death glare that I do oh-so-well. I jumped swifty to the side dodging one of his fists. Then did a weird sort of break dance-like move, where I used my leg to sweep his feet out from under him. Dramatic, I know, but effective.

He started to get back up so I did what anyone under pressure would do and jumped as high as I could and landed on his leg, hard. It snapped with a sickening CRACK that made me cringe.

I did a three-sixty spin surveying the area. The other eraser must have bolted seeing what happened to his little buddies.

I grinned. Mission accomplished.

Or so I thought...

Until I felt a dead weight drop down on me from above.

I made an unappealing "Blarrg!" sound as I hit the ground. I tried looking up but the eraser pushed my face to the ground and locked my hands behind my back. I squirmed around trying to free myself but stopped when I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my back.

I let out a sharp cry of pain, then I felt the warm blood trickling down my sides.

"Now hold still, or I'll make it worse." The Eraser hissed, licking my blood off his claws. "Well don't you just taste delicous?" he said teasingly.

"Go to hell." I blurted out.

"See you there." He whispered seductively.

Out of the blue I began struggling harder then before, managing to turn around. I let out a little yelp of pain from my back.

He smirked at my pain which only made me resist more. Suddenly, I felt an intense panic rise up in my throat. With a growl, I slammed the Eraser off of me and and I saw a bright flash of light and heat before I heard him yell in shock and pain.

Wide-eyed and tired, I scrambled up and pushed off the ground. Flapping my wings hard trying to get airborne, I looked down and saw something unbelievable: The Eraser lying on the ground, charred and smoking. The smell of burnt flesh filled the air. Wha-at? I thought dumbly as my stomach churned.

I flew a for about an hour. Knowing I would find Swift and Gage soon I began flying lower, scanning the forest for any signs of life. Suddenly, I felt kind of dizzy and remembered the gashes in my back. I started losing altitude. I looked over my shoulder; I was completely drenched with my own blood.

I must have blacked out after that because the next thing I knew, I was lying on the forest floor covered in dirt and new blood starting to cover the old. If I don't get these wounds taken care of, I won't have to worry about finding the rest of my flock... I thought to myself and attempted to get up.

I heard the sound of a loading gun from behind me. "Don't move." A voice followed. I froze in place, then lightened up a bit.

"Do I look like I'm any threat to you right now?" I grunted. Flopping over to see a girl about my age with really pain skin, jet black hair and stormy grey eyes staring down at me. She lowered the gun a little bit and looked over my condition.

"What happened to you?" She demanded.

I grimaced. "An eraser caught me off guard. Did you know they can fly now?"

She blinked a few times and nodded. "Yeah, I ran into a couple of them before, nasty things, erasers are."

I held back a growl. I knew if I did she would figure out I'm part Avian and part lupine. And I don't know why, but something tells me she's not the type that would spare an already injured eraser.

"Yeah." I said unenthusiastically.

I tried to stand but she immediately lifted the gun back up pointint it at my head.

"Stay where you are." She commanded.

But I ignored her and stood up anyway. "Look with all due respect, I have a flock to go find, and I can't waste my time listening to you."

She glared at me. "Make time." She said sending a shot two inches away from my right foot. "What's your story?"

I looked her dead in the eyes. "I don't like talking about it."

"Tell me." She said sending off another shot in my direction.

"I came from a place called 'The school' in Death Valley," I explained. "I was experimented on and turned into four percent Avain." I paused.

She nodded for me to continue. I gulped.

Here goes nothing.

"And six percent Lupine." She looked up at me glaring. I felt a cold chill go down my spine but continued. "When I was about seven, something happened at the school and everyone was forced to evacuate."

She didn't look convinced. "If you were let go, why are they hunting you?"

"Because I won't go back." I argued.

She sighed and lowered the gun. "I don't trust you, and I never will, But I won't kill you." She paused "Even if you are an eraser."

"Hurray." I mumbled.

"What's your name?" She asked me.

"Zelda." I replied.

"I'm Snow." She said. "Welcome to the Resistance."

"What's the Resistance?" I asked dumbfoundedly.

"It's an organization I developed to help all of us, Mutants stay together, safe and free." She looked at me. "You interested?"

I stayed silent for a moment, then "Yeah, but I have to talk to my flock about it."

She nodded.

"First step...finding them."

Okay, it's done. And it wasn't terribly horrible either. Well so I think. Review because you love me.
