A/N- Hiya peoples! Just a random comment: is there such thing as a person who hates music? All kinds of music? I don't think so.
Stop calling, stop calling I don't want to think anymore, I left my head and my heart on the dance floor.
D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-DISCLAIMER- Neither me nor XxBlackEaglexX owns any of the Maximum Ride characters. We do, however, own the awesomesauce that is Rissa, Gina, and Ashen.
Chapter Seven
written by MissMusic17
The Erasers had scared me to death.
Well, not really the Erasers themselves; they weren't even a challenge.
But the way the other flock reacted to them; they were clearly enemies. At least Rissa hadn't exposed my secret like she had hers and Ashens. She had gone through the same thought process as me.
If they hated the Erasers, the flock would loathe me. I had to keep my talent a secret. But how long could that go on? If I never told them, and they found out, they'd hate me more. But I wasn't sure that I had the guts to tell them, even if that was the least painful route.
I dropped off to sleep, hoping maybe I'd have an answer when I woke up.
I was woken up by somebody crawling into the covers with me.
Ashen.
"Wha' time izit?" I asked, barely awake.
"'Bout seven. Everybody else is asleep."
Ugh. Way too early. I hugged Ashen a little bit closer to me.
"Are you gonna tell them?"
"I don't know. Telling them would be less painful, but I'm not sure I can do it."
He gave me a tiny squeeze.
"Well, if they end up hating you, we can probably fight them off. If we can't, then I could trap them somehow, and we could get away, relocate. Plus, there's always the chance that they'll understand."
"They never will, not like you do."
A tiny, tiny tear rolled down my nose. It fell to my lip, and Ashen kissed it away.
We'd never, ever kissed before, and now I wondered why not. It was so nice. He was gentle, kind of shy, really, but when I didn't shove him away screaming, he got more confident.
I fell asleep again in his arms, everything but him forgotten.
