Story of a bird kid 7

Angel pov

As Dr. Martinez shut and locked the door to the exam room behind them I heard a scream in my head that out of shock made me scream as well as I dropped to the ground trying to block it. Once I finally succeeded in blocking out the scream I looked around and saw Max, Shayne, and Fang as well as Jeb and Dr. Martinez were all looking at me in concern.

"Angel what is wrong?!!" Shayne and Max both shouted

"Angel why were you screaming like you were having a brain explosion? Shayne asked "I was screaming like that twice yesterday.

"Sorry about worrying you guys like that." I said, "But the reason I was screaming like that was because someone is in pain and screaming in their head. I picked up on it and it shocked me which is why I started screaming. I dropped to the ground because I was trying to block out the screaming. I don't know who it is but someone is nearby and in pain!" With that I jumped into the air and tool off in the general direction of where I thought the scream was coming from ignoring Max, Shayne and Fang's shouted warnings. Within a few minutes I was in the sky and I saw someone lying on the ground wreathing in pain as I landed beside her with Max and Shayne landing beside me I noticed that she was a girl about the same age as Shayne. As I landed I tried to see what was causing the girl to scream all I noticed was two puncture wounds on her neck. As I landed and hit the ground on my knees I heard someone yell to stay away. With a quick glance around I didn't see anyone around except for Shayne and Max, and then out of nowhere a dark haired girl and a dark haired boy that looked a few years older than Shayne were standing beside us. I jumped into the sky and was closely followed by Shayne and Max.

"Come down we won't hurt you." The boy said. "Alice, I am assuming that these are the winged kids you warned us about that were in danger."

"Yes Edward they are." Alice said, "They already know that they are being followed by scientists but I don't see how they could know about the Volturi."

"Who are the Volturi?" Shayne asked, and looked at me in confusion. I read Alice's mind and shivered at what I saw about the Volturi and I sent those thoughts to Shayne as well. "Oh my god. They are worse than those scientists at the school were. I don't know how but I think I've seen them before in my dreams, but I haven't had that dream for a few years."

"Wait you've seen them before?" Alice asked looking at me. "Can you recall that dream you use to have about them? By the way how do you know who we are talking about and how do you know what they look like?"

"Angel can read minds." Shayne said as an explanation and the one named Edward looked at me questionably. "She read your mind and then sent those thought's you had about them to me. As to the question about if I can recall those dreams I used to have the answer is yes. Those dreams scared the crap out of me then and I still am kind of scared of them though I haven't had them for about 2 years."

"Really?" Edward asked turning back to Shayne. "Can you describe those dreams to me and Alice? Like Bella I can't seem to read your thoughts which means you are also a shield."

Shayne POV

Really?" The boy named Edward asked turning back towards me after looking at Angel "Can you describe those dreams to me and Alice? Like Bella I can't seem to read your thoughts which means you are also a shield"

"Yeah I can." I said, "But first can you please tell me who Bella is. And what in the world is a shield?"

"Sure." Alice said, "Bella is Edward's wife who is like us and a shield is like a force field but it mostly just surrounds a person's form but can be extended to protect other people as well with a lot of work and practice."

"OK thanks for the explanation." I said shivering from the memory of the dream, "The dreams always started the same way. I was flying around with Max and the others and then suddenly I was all alone. Once I realize that I am alone I land in a clearing in some woods kind of like these and I see this little shack that I decide to spend the night in until Max and the others can catch up to me. I turn into an animal and I go to sleep. That part always confused me until a few nights ago. Well anyway the dream goes dark for a while and then my dream self wakes up from a light sleep from a sound that I am not quite sure what it is. It sounds like someone running very fast and then the door of the shack is flung open and these 3 men with nearly transparent skin fling open the door and try to capture me and for some reason I hear paws running across the ground towards the shack. I somehow make it outside without getting bitten and when I get out there is a huge pack of giant wolves and I turn into a black one and join the pack. Then there is a huge army of really fast people that join this pack turning into quite a large army/pack deal and come to think of it you two are there as well. Then once your army of people joined us we attack the 3 with their transparent skin and suddenly out of nowhere they had their own army of really fast people. We all fought valiantly but their army was so strong and they ended up defeating our army until out of nowhere a little girl came with another giant wolf and helped us. When the battle was over I was injured quite badly and ended up returning to my normal form with my wings out and slightly hurt, and one of the wolves somehow turns into a boy around my age and asks me if I am ok. I say yes and then he tells me his name is Mathew and I tell him my name and then he becomes my body guard of sorts. A few days later I am still in the shack with Mathew and Max and the others catch up to me and then Mathew tries to attack them thinking they mean to hurt me and then I tell him that Max and the other's are my friends and then at that point I always wake up."

"Alice," Edward said, "That sounds like the same basic thing you had in your vision as well as the time when we had to fight the Volturi when they thought that we had started creating the little children after Bella was first turned."

"You're right Edward." Alice said. "I think that Shayne needs to meet Carlisle and the others. Let's grab Sarah and go. Hold on, before we do that. Shayne in my vision there were at least 3 other kids with wing's like yours. Where are they at, and do you have any clothes to take with you or is what you are wearing all that you have?"

"You're right." I said, "There are 3 others. They are at the house I have been staying at. As for clothes I have a book bag full of clothes at that house as well. If you let me go back and get the other's I will run into the house and grab my bag from the front room as well and then I will come back to meet these other people. By the way you are not human's so what are you?"

"I'll let you go back and get the others and your stuff if you promise to come back. As to the question about what we are, you are right we aren't human. We are vampires like the Volturi but we are different from others of our kind. Yes most vampires do drink human blood but we are different because we only drink animal blood from deer, mountain lion, and any other large animal which enables us to live in a place for an extended period of time. Most of our kind are nomad's always traveling to different places to keep the fact that vampires do actually exist in real life and not just in mythology. If humans, normal human's that is start getting suspicious that is where the Volturi come in. The Volturi are kind of the royalty of the vampire's. If they get involved they normally just send one of their guard's. Their guard's are normally vampires like me and Edward that have special abilities. Or if I am assuming correctly they hunt down humans that would probably if turned become vampires with special abilities. Is that enough of an explanation for you?"

"Yes it is thank you." I said, "I'll be back in a few minutes with the others so see you then." With that I did an up and away and took off back toward Dr. Martinez's house.

When I landed in the yard everyone asked me where I had been and where Max and Angel were. I told them that we had meet some people that wanted to help us to escape the whitecoats that were chasing after us and that Max and Angel were still with them. Max told me to tell you to come with me and to hurry up. Once Iggy, Gassy and Nudge had agreed to come I ran inside grabbed my mom's old bag that was now mine and ran back outside. Just as I was about to do an up and away Jeb said my name and motioned for me to come with him.

"Hey guys," I said, "I'll be right back." Then I followed Jeb to the side of the house.

"Shayne, I really don't want you to leave so soon I was planning on taking you to see your dad tomorrow, he lives in Phoenix and I know that he would really enjoy seeing you again. Are you sure you have to go?" Jeb asked and I nodded in response. "Well then in that case I wanted to give you this. I bought it for you on the way here. I bought you a plan that gives you unlimited access to the internet, and unlimited calling and texting." With that he pulled out an Envy 2 and gave it to me, as I grabbed it he pulled me into a huge hug and told me to be careful. As I turned around to go back to the Flock so that we could leave Jeb once again said my name, turning back around to face Jeb he said, "I have my cell number, Dr. Martinez's home, cell, and office number, Ella's cell number, and your dad's cell number and home number in your contacts list. I also disabled your gps system so that if the Director figures out that I bought you a phone she can't use it to track you. If you want to call your dad wait until the day after tomorrow to do so. And remember to be on the ground every night by 7:00 so that you can have time to eat and anything else before I start trying to get in your head. Now go join the rest of your flock and get going."

"Thanks Jeb." I said and returned to the group. "Thanks for letting me stay Dr. Martinez. Tell Ella I said I was sorry for leaving before we could go to the movies."

"I will." Dr. Martinez said, "Here take this it is another first aid kit but it includes medicine for your infected back and bandages for your leg and numerous other things. By the way are you going to take those crutches like I told you to do because remarkably you seem to not be having any trouble at all with that leg of yours?"

"No I don't really need them." I said, "We are going to be flying most of the day and at night we should be sleeping. If my leg starts acting up I'll just get some pain medicine at a pharmacy or something. Now we need to get going." With that I turned to the other three and said "let's go. Iggy once we get into the air start flying right or just let me get in the front and touch my foot got that?"

"Yep," Iggy said, "Fly right or grab your foot gently."

"Ok," I said, "Up and away on the count of 3. One, two, three let's get out of here." With that I jumped into the air followed by Nudge and the others. Iggy flew up beside me and hit my wingtip with his so that he would be able to tell if I changed direction even slightly. "I should tell you guys that I didn't tell you the entire truth about where we are going. Max didn't tell you to come but it would be a really good idea. The people I said wanted to help us don't want to help us to escape from the whitecoats they want to help us escape from a group of people known as the Volturi. Even calling them people is a major understatement. They are really a coven of vampires. The two that want to help us are also members of a vampire coven. Turns out that that nightmare I used to have all the time was about these Volturi coming to get me for some odd reason."

"Shayne," Nudge said, "If the people that are trying to help us are vampires then shouldn't we be afraid of them. I mean that vampires drink human blood don't they? I saw a movie about them when we stayed at a hotel a few weeks ago, and the vampire kept capturing ladies and drinking their blood. In the end the main human character ends up killing the evil vampire but not for a long time after he keeps killing women and…."

"Nudge shut up and let me explain," I snapped, starting to lose my patients. "You are right. Vampires do drink human blood, but the ones that are trying to help us are different than normal vampires. Alice and Edward are members of a coven that don't drink human blood. They survive on animal blood to keep their thirst quenched. They are as safe as vampire's can be around humans or in our case part humans. Do any of you guys remember that I used to have nightmares when we were younger?"

"Yeah I do." Iggy said. "You were always waking us up every single night at around midnight because you would start to cry and scream in your sleep and wouldn't stop until you woke yourself up. Max, Fang and I all tried to wake you up at least once every single night but you wouldn't wake up until you were ready. Those nightmares were always about 3 men with nearly transparent skin that tried to capture you for some reason right?"

"Yeah that is right." I said, "Now I know that those three men were the Volturi and that they were trying to capture me. If what Alice and Edward said was true then they are trying to capture the entire flock to turn us into vampires with special abilities. Ok there is a clearing coming up Nudge why don't you go ahead and land. Max and Angel should be down there with Alice and Edward. Iggy drop back with Nudge and follow her down to the ground. Once you are down tell Max that I'll be right back I need to do something before I land as well. Do you guys get that?"

"Yes we do." Nudge Gassy and Iggy all said and I took off really quickly ignoring Angel calling out my name with her mind. I flew about three miles away and landed in the alley that I had crash landed in before I had been taken to Dr. Martinez's house. Once I landed I looked around and checked that I hadn't left anything behind then reaching into my pocket I pulled out my new phone and sent a quick text to Jeb asking what I was going to do about money. After a minute Jeb sent me a text letting me know that there was a wallet in my bag that had a few credit cards in it. The text also told me that the codes were Sammy and eagle. I sent him a text back telling him thanks and stuck my phone back into my pocket and dug through my bags pockets until I found the wallet that not only had an identification badge and credit cards in it but some money in it as well. Counting out the money I found out that Jeb had given me $20.00 in cash. After I had put the money back into my wallet and put the wallet into the pocket of the hoodie I pulled out of my bag and slid on to cover my wings, I walked onto the main street. I looked around and not seeing a bank or ATM walked up to a girl a few years older than me in appearance.

"Excuse me," I said, "I am just passing through the area and I am trying to locate the bank or an ATM for my parents. Do you think you could tell me where they are so I can get money out for my parents?"

"Yeah sure." The girl said turning around to face me. "Hey aren't you the bird girl Sarah and Nikki took to the Martinez's house yesterday?" Then most likely because of the expression on my face she said. "Yeah you are. Don't worry none of us told our parents your secret is safe. How are you going to get money out if I take you to an ATM? I will not let you break the law. Because my father is the Sherriff here I can't let you because my dad would kill me if he found out that I helped you steal money."

"I've got cards I can use." My uncle gave them to me before I left California. "They are mine because they have my name on them and I know the codes as well even though I didn't sign any papers or anything."

"Ok," the girl said, "My name is Emily Seville and do you mind me asking what your name is so I don't have to keep calling you bird girl."

"Why not," I said, "My name is Shayne Rider. Now Emily could you please tell me where I can find an ATM?"

"Yeah," Emily said, "Follow me and I'll take you to the supermarket. There is an ATM inside." With that she took off down the street me slightly limping after her. "Hey Shayne, should you be walking around on that leg of yours? It looked really bad yesterday, all bloody like you had been cut really badly."

"My leg is fine." I said, "It's just really sore and kind of painful it was sliced up but not too badly. Believe me when I say I've had worse in the past month alone. My body heals really quickly because of my avian DNA. Avian is the scientific word for…"

"Avian is the scientific word for bird, I know." Emily interrupted, "I took Veterinary Science last semester at school. I want to get into Vet school when I graduate next year. Dr. Martinez is a really good Vet I did an interview with her for an English assignment last month. Well this is the supermarket. Once you walk into the store head straight back and the ATM is there. Nice to meet you, if you ever find yourself back in this area stop by my house and drop in to pay me a visit. Do you have a cell phone? If you do can I see it to add my number to your contacts list?"

"Yeah here it is." I said pulling my phone out of my pocket and handing it to her, "It's brand new so I don't know how to work it exactly; I just got it less than an hour ago."

"Is this an Envy 2?" Emily asked," "Those just started selling in the past year so they are still quite expensive. Plus this phone's GPS has been turned off and has special settings. Whoever bought this phone for you has plenty of money to spare. Here my number is now in your contacts list so give me a call sometime soon."

"Ok thanks." I said, "I'll give you a call later tonight."
