Chapter 4
English
English class must be the most boring class of them all. I thought as Mr. Smith explained what we were supposed to be doing for what must be the hundredth time. All we seem to do the whole period every day is sit at our computers and type, or read a book! Every day it's either type, read, or listen to one of Mr. Smith's stories. I mean i could be doing other things, like finding the other chosen, or math. But NOOOO! Instead I have to sit here in boring old English class!
"Star? Are you listening? STAR!" Mr. Smith yelled.
"Oh, what? Umm, ya sure." I said as I snapped out of my daze.
"Oh really. Then it would be no trouble at all to explain to the rest of the class our assignment then now will it?"
"Umm…"
"Thought so. Shadow, will you please explain to Miss Star what we our doing? As for the rest of you, get to work." Mr. Smith said in an annoyed voice. Shadow walked over to me blushing slightly.
" sure is in a bad mood today." She started.
"Tell me about it." I groaned, "So what is this assignment he was talking about?"
"We are supposed to be writing a report on the book we just read as a class. I take it you weren't listening to that either?"
"Nope."I groan, "Do you know what it's called?"
"Yep!" shadow says grinning, "It's required of the whole school to read this one. In my opinion, it's the best."
"What is it?"
"It's a book called 'Maximum Ride the Angel Experiment'!"
"Isn't your flock in that book, except you for some reason."
"Ya. well anyways that's the assignment. You better get working, if catches you not working again, your toast. I suggest pretend like you're working right now, and then read the book later. And then do the report after that. Well GTG I was called down to the office a minute ago." and with that she left. She's probably going to be featured in another assembly. I though while logging into my computer. Well, better get to 'work'.
(After School)
I know it's wrong to spy, but what else am i supposed to do to get information on them. I'm am currently trying to follow Nightmare. She is trying to shake me of as she runs through the woods and I fly. She knows the woods well, which was suspected since it is her home. She is still a major candidate for one of the chosen. She has much skill and secrets. But the more I know her the more I get the feeling she is not the one. That doesn't necessarily mean that Shadow and Nova are the ones. I cannot know for sure until I have finished my research. This will be the last time I follow Nightmare, but I will still be keeping track of her just in case. I fear I am disappointing the stars. It has been 6 months since I first came in September. It is March now and things still aren't starting to warm up. In Fact they are getting colder and shorter. I am starting to worry that my mission will come before I have found the others and I will have to face it alone. I lose my train of thought as I realize that I can no longer see Nightmare. I start circling the place I last saw her hoping that I will at least catch a glimpse of her. As I realize that I have no hope of finding her in this way, I swoop down for a landing accidentally scraping my wings on the way down. "Darn it!" I yell to no one as I realize that I won't be able to fly on them for the next few days, therefore trapping myself in the middle of a forest. I walk around for a little bit cursing to myself searching for some sign of Nightmare, like a footprint or something. I find some and start to follow them. The footprints show that she was running, I'm sure it was from me, but after a few yards the footprints show that she slowed down to a complete stop. It was then that I started to realize the other footprints, she was being followed. And by the looks of it, it was by several large men. She stopped right in front of a cliff ledge. Trapped. It looks like they fought for a bit but eventually she was knocked out and abducted. If this was true, and she really was a chosen- well lets hope I was wrong, and that they were racing. Ya, thats it. Racing. She was racing the men. No. I'm fooling myself. Given Nightmares history there is a very good chance she was abducted. Should she tell someone? The police would be able to find her right? No. that would only upset the whitecoats. If she was correct they are the ones that took her.
"A little far from home aren't we?" I heard a voice growl from behind me. Then, it all went black.
