Chapter Three

What. The. Heck. Is going through that boy's mind? I thought, mind racing.

"Why would you want to join our Flock?" Iggy asked, hand rubbing his neck.

"Because I don't want to always be watching my back 24/7! It would be great if I could sleep for at least two hours!" Blaze screamed. Max was quiet for a while, her eyes searching mine and Blaze's.

"Why should I trust that you are on our side?" she finally asked, hand on her chin.

"Why would I want to side with mad scientists who abused me?" I answered for the both of us. "It would never cross my mind to help them. After what they've done to me? Never." Max smirked, and it made her seem more human somehow.

"What do think, Fang? Iggy?" Max looked at each of the boys, because obviously their opinion mattered.

"Sure, what do we have to lose? By the way Sky, what are you anyway?" Iggy asked me, while Fang only nodded at Max in response to her question. Instead of answering with words, I changed into my other form.

I could feel the heat going through me, my skin burning. It had gotten easier over the years to go through the change, but the pain will never go away. I could feel the fur stretch all over my body and the wings stretch out behind me, the muscles relaxing. My nails got longer and sharper, turning to claws. My hands turned to paws, as did my feet. My teeth got bigger and turned to fangs, and the next thing I knew, I was in my other form.

"So you're a tiger and a bird?" Gazzy asked, jumping up and down. "That's awesome!" Iggy stepped forward, his hands reaching out. What is he doing? I asked myself. I spread my wings out in fear. My wings were orange with the black stripes of a tiger, so when I folded them to my back when I was in tiger form, you couldn't tell that they were wings. The tips of my secondary feathers were white.

"Iggy's blind Sky," Angel told me. "That's why he had the sunglasses on and why he's reaching out to you." I looked at Angel in surprise, until I remembered that I had seen her when she was kidnapped long ago. I stepped towards Iggy, and touched my nose to his outstretched hand while telling him, so I wouldn't frighten him, "It's okay Iggy." He took off his sunglasses and knelt down onto his knees to "see" me. Iggy ran his long, slender hands through the fur beneath my chin, and then scratching it, as if I was a cat. Without my permission, a loud purr rumbled through my body, and I tilted my head into his hand on instinct. His whole face ended up in my shoulder and my large paws on his shoulders, with my purr being the loudest its ever been. Finally, Blaze "coughed" and we realized that everyone was staring at us. Iggy pulled away and stood up, his face blood red.

"Well, we know what Sky is, what about you Blaze?" Nudge asked. "Are you a cheetah? Mouse? A tiger like Sky? Ooooohhh what about a lion? That would be cool! I would like to be another animal, like a horse or something! 'Cause you know, horses are like, majestic and stuff. Or maybe I could be a monk-"Gazzy had slapped a hand over her mouth.

Thank God. I thought. I looked over at Blaze, raising an eyebrow at him. He shrugged his shoulders and started to change into his other form. His back hunched over and his teeth grew, while his nails got longer and sharper. A tail poked out and his hair spread out all over his body until it became leopard fur. His leopard self looked around, when his eyes landed on a tree. He ran and jumped up that tree, until he was at the top. He spread his golden wings which had black leopard markings, and the tips of his secondary feathers were white also.

"I'm part leopard, and part bird. I can also control the earth while Sky can control fire and wind. I guess she's the lucky one." Blaze said, as he jumped down the tree and changed back to human form. I changed back to human form also and said, "Blaze and I can also communicate through each other's thoughts, but we can't read and control others; like Angel can."

The Flock was quiet for a while, until Max said, "Okay, you're in. Come with us. You can fly right?
