At the moment we would be outside, the flock around me and Mac, Dave, Tom, Large and Sarah just a few meters away. The rest of the students where sent away, but a few still linger, while the rest peer out of windows. Great, no privacy at all. "So we tell them were freaks and the dogs not counted." Comes Total, as he jumps into Angels awaiting arms.
"Did… did that dog just t-talk?" Stutters Tom. I give him a smile and nod. I was a touch surprised to when Total spoke, but it is a bit more normal for me then for the humans.
"Yeah," I start off. "Ok. Total can go first because you already freaked them out." Total huffs, but still jumps from Angel's arms. "We got no idea what he is mixed with, so don't asked. We found him in the New York labs. Ok, let's see. Difference's… well, beside him talking… His jumps." At that Total bunches his legs up and jumps a good three stories into the air. A gasp comes from the crowd. They won't be able to gasp much more after where done. "His speed when running." He quickly dashes around the circle we have made. That might sound weird, because dogs are naturally fast, but Total is faster. "Umm, he also has wings." At that Total trots to the middle and stretches out the wings that where hiding in his fur. He gives them a few flaps lifting himself of the ground and a meter into the air. Suddenly he falls. "There new though."
"Wow," Mac states.
"How did he get wings? Because I know he didn't get bird genes." Sarah asks, looking at Total. She motions for Total to come to her, and he does. I feel like an experiment again.
"Where mutating on our owns." Ig states. They all look at him with wide eyes. I guess this would be a lot to take in.
"I'm next!" Angel screams, glaring at Nudge then looking at me. I give her a nod. She will change our minds if we say no, so there is no point. "I can fly obviously. I can read minds and control them. How do I show that?" She gives a small nod and looks at Dave. "Spin around like a ballerina." His eyes cloud over and he does, much to everyone's amusement. He stops and looks at us.
"That is really weird." He states looking at Angel with awe. "Can you do anything else?" She gives a nod with a wide smile. Can she do anything else? Most stupid question in the whole wide world. If you want powerfully freaky then ask her.
"I can breathe under water and talk to sea animals. I can also now control water." At that she makes water come out of her hands in streams, wrapping around her body. In the matter of half a minute her body is swallowed by the water. She keeps her eyes shut in concentration as her feet leave the ground, water underneath. A wide smile coats her face as she opens her eyes. Then she does what none of the others thought she would do. Breathes in the water. But instead of chocking and coughing, she continues. Suddenly she lets it all go, the water soaking into the ground.
"Ok. I guess I will go next." Gaz states, looking at his little sister. "You're a freak, you know?" Angel just gives a wide smiled nod. "Ok, where blood siblings, Angel and I. Err… I got toxic gas as one of my powers." As he says that I jump back a good eight meters. Everyone else follows suit. Hardly concentrating Gaz farts out yellow gas. Great power, huh? Disgusting.
"Mate, that's lethal." Tom coughs out, moving further away.
"Oh! I can control wind too." Gaz declares happily. Swirling his hands around he picks up the yellow gas. He brings it into a ball and shoots it across the oval and into the trees. That was pretty cool. We all move back next to him. Ig goes next, with a grim smile.
"Ok, before they decided to improve my eye sight, and I lost it. I had night vision. Hopefully I get that back. Ummm, since being blind I have a heightened sense of hearing and touch. I can hear anything and everything in a twenty-meter range, including a cricket chirp that you can't here. With touch, I can identify a flock member by their feathers or fingerprint. Also, I know what colour something is by the feel of it. I am also getting my sight back." He shuts his eyes. "Give me something and I will tell you what colour it is." Large, not believing him, reaches into his pocket and grabs his phone. He hands it to Ig. "Black, and a white on the inside. Dude, get anymore black and you will be like Fang. You ain't emo are you Large?" That seems to throw everyone off, as Ig's eyes are still shut. Large grabs his phone and steps back.
"He can tell by your step who you are." I explain, as Ig steps back into line and open's his eyes. Fang gives him a punch. "Ok. I got only two powers. Any one got a knife?" I ask, looking around. Dave pulls out a pocket-knife, handing it to me, in which I give it to Fang who's beside me. He cuts to slits in my top, right where my wings are. "I can fly at about three hundred miles an hour." I turn around, giving Fang a peck on the lips. Moving away from the circle I spread my wings. I can hear the gasps and small chatter coming from the school and around the oval. Taking a small run off I jump ten meters into the air and beat my wings up and down.
"You can fly!" Someone screams out from a near by window. I don't turn towards them, but more like away. I start with normal flying, and then suddenly put on all the speed I can. I shoot of, faster then ever. God it feels so good to be flying again. I try to put on more speed and it works. Time to go back, I realise as London comes into view at the edge. Making a quick turn I speed back.
At this speed the wind is rushing through your hair, pulling it straight. Your eyes prickly, tears coming to them. Everything is stream lined to perfection and your wings hardly move. You feel like a bullet, a rocket, not a bird. You feel amazing.
Suddenly CHERUB appears. I stop, hovering over the nine people and dog standing in a circle searching the sky. Six eyes fall on me, but for the others I am to high up. Nudge points me out. It is a clear day and I am over a thousand meters up. Pulling in my wings all the way I free fall. "Woho!" I scream falling towards the earth. This is the sort of thrill you don't get from a roller coaster.
"She's falling!" Someone screams. I give out a giggle but it's swept away with the wind. At fifty meters up I spread my wings, catching myself and hover. I drop down another thirty. Time to show them how we fall. I tuck my wings in, not needing to direct myself. The ground is clear. I land lightly on two feet and walk the few meters back to the group.
"I think I got faster." I say with a laugh. That was the best thing ever.
"I'm riding with you next." Total puts in, lying at Angels feet. Great. Now with the great feeling comes doggy slobber.
"Ok. The other thing I can do is control fire." At that I put my hands up, opposite each other and create a circle of fire between them.
"Max, your wings." Nudge says in awe. I spread them out, moving them forward so I can look. On my wings would be fire. Where the red and orange is, is fire instead of feathers. Putting out the fire in my hands puts out the fire on my wings.
"Angel, Gaz, come here." I instruct, grabbing back the knife from Fang. I turn each around, slitting holes in their tops. "Stretch them out." They do so willingly. I feel myself gasp involuntary as I look upon their wings. Angel's pure white wings are now a pure black with different shades of blue where mine is red. Gaz's is black with white and clear feathers.
"Wow, that's so cool. Can you cut mine?" Nudge shrieks in happiness. I slice two strips for her and then move onto Ig and Fang. Each of them stretches out there wings and I look onto them with amazement. Nudge's has a gorgeous silvery grey, while Fang's is a mix of greens and browns. Ig's is the one though, that I stopped on. His is of different colours, but all of them incredibly light. Like a rainbow. "Wow, pretty. Oh, can I go next for describing? Cause that would be so cool." She continues without a nod. Putting her hand out the metal knife flies into it. "I can attract metal, like a magnet. Plus I can feel things. Like feeling and details when I touch stuff, which is why I have to wear these gloves. I can also hack into computers and I love cars and…" Ig slams his hand over her mouth. Thank god, we don't need any more. Giving Fang a shove, he starts his talk. Not long, mind you.
"I can turn invisibly, and I'm stronger then the rest." Fang's voice sound slightly smug as he disappears. I let out a scream of surprise as two hands pick me up and I'm pulled into Fang's chest. I disappear as well. When you disappear, you can see Fang, and who ever else he has maybe invisible. I lift my head slightly, locking my lips with his.
"Ok, break it up." Yells Ig, but he doesn't try to get me to move away. I smile into the kiss, finishing with a quick peck before Fang lets me out of his arms.
"Now," I start off. "I guess it's time to show you how we fight."
