Iggy P.O.V
We were in quite the suckish situation. How about I give you a list instead of figuring out how to use interesting language to make it sound better than it is! Here goes:
Nudge: Don't even get me started. This girl is coming up with all sorts of ideas on how to 'totally, like, fly in and then be all butt-kickingly awesome!' and then out of nowhere starts sobbing about how 'ohmigod we're never gonna find them what if we, like, die?' It's so freaking annoying!
Gazzy: He is being quite the little trooper, though he seems to yell quite a bit more. Sorta like, 'Hey, Gazzy, what do ya want for dinner?' 'What do you think? It's always the same thing, all the time! WE HAVE NO VARIETY!' Otherwise he doesn't talk, which is good and bad, depending on how ya look at it.
Angel: She's turned into something quite similar to a little mini Napoleon. Well, not really, cuz I mean he wasn't exactly tall, if you know what I mean. But more like a younger, feminine version, just not evil and bent on taking over the entire world. Just the rest of the flock. And, in case you didn't know, it isn't all that hard to do if you have mind control powers, which, of course, she does. It just had to be the little one with all the cool powers, didn't it? Ugh.
As for me? I guess I was pretty much normal, if you count being a blind, bomb-building, car-jacking, color-feeling, mutant bird-kid normal. If I were you, I wouldn't, but I'm not you, and, therefore, it is perfectly normal. Except for the fact that I was in charge with absolutely no idea how to control three kids! Yay Iggy!
I admit it, I was worried… I mean they were pretty much my siblings (although they were completely in love with each other so I was gonna have to stop referring to them that way soon…), and they could be dead. Or almost dead. Or gravely injured, like I knew Fang pretty much was.
Can you say shitake mushrooms?
Anyways, it was dark outside and the flock was sleeping peacefully. At least, I assumed it was dark out, considering it was night and all, but hey, what do I know? I was thinking about where we should look in our next (most likely fruitless) attempt to find Max and Fang, when I heard someone (or something) walking around close to where we were.
Seeing as it was past two in the morning and in the absolute middle of nowhere, you could say I was confused. And curious. Confusedly curious.
"Um, hello?" I whispered, really hoping that it wasn't some creature who wanted to kill me, "Is anyone there?"
I got no response, so I stood and walked closer to where I had head the footsteps. After I took around fifty steps, I called out again, this time in a regular voice,
"Hello?" I heard a low growl coming from my left, and another to my right. A third came from right in front of me.
'Well, crap,' I thought, and I could detect them getting closer to me. The thing that annoyed me was that I had no idea if they were normal animals or something much worse.
Unfortunately, I didn't have time to figure it out. All three (or were there more?) leaped at me at the same time, and I knocked two out of the way before they could touch me. I heard them hit the ground whimpering. The third wolf (?) managed to knock me to the ground, and its claws dug into my skin. I pushed it off, and it dragged its paws dragged across my chest, leaving four deep (and rather painful) cuts. I cried out in pain, not hearing the rest of the flock waking up.
I heard more growls, and they seemed to be coming from every direction. If I could see, I can assure you that the world would have been spinning around and around and around and so on so forth. I, along with the ground around me, was becoming soaked in my blood, and I didn't take that as a good thing.
The growling continued, and I sat up, ready to fend them off as well as I could. My right arm was wrapped around my chest, and I was breathing heavily, but there was still no way that I was going down without a fight.
But suddenly, I heard a bunch of yells, and the sounds of a fight going on around me. I breathed a sigh of relief knowing that I was safe for the time being.
Finally, after what seemed like ages, the fighting stopped. By then, I was hardly aware of anything going on around me, but I could tell that at least the bleeding had slowed. But I didn't care; I was so tired I just wanted to go to sleep.
"Iggy?" I heard Angel ask. I was lying down again, so they probably thought that I was like dead or something.
"I'm awake," I stated, then asked, "So… were those things, ya know, normal?"
"Far from it," I heard Nudge answer. Well, it was good to know that I didn't just get defeated by some normal creature!
"Yeah!" Gazzy cut in, sounding exited, "They were, like the red but there was orange waves and the waves moved! IT WAS SO COOL! And the tip of their tails were solid black but they were shining like onyx!" I grinned at the irony of the fact that these creatures would probably become our next sworn enemies and Gazzy was acting like they were some famous movie stars or something. Well, if he was going to be fighting them he might as well be excited about it.
"Plus," Angel added, "Their claws were golden and they were, like shining even though it's dark out!"
But it didn't hear her. A searing hot feeling erupted in my head and spread all the way throughout my body. I felt myself lifting off the ground, but I didn't even acknowledge that that was strange. I screamed louder than I ever had before, agony ripping through my voice. I felt, more than heard, Gazzy, Angel, and Nudge gasp as they watched this happening.
Somehow, during all this, I heard Nudge yell out something that made this situation even stranger,
"Iggy, you're glowing!"

Sorry that was so short! But I seriously was like running on empty at the end of the chapter and I tried to write more but I came up with nothing… sorry! I promise the next one will be longer! :)Anywayz I really hope that I figure out what those wolf things are before I start the next chapter… ah well that's what I get for changing the plot of the chapter on a second's notice! But it is more fun that way sooo…. Please review! And, as I mentioned in the last chapter, I need to change the name of this to something more fitting, so does anybody have any ideas? If you do please share!
