Chapter Eight: Secret Words
"Come on Kate, I know you can do better," Max taunted me, grabbing my oncoming fist for the hundredth time. It had been a week since we arrived in Colorado, and we were flying above the roof, Max teaching me how to fight in the air. I sighed and backed off again, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Max lunged at me and I quickly flew out of the way. Without knowing what I was doing, I spun around and punched Max between the wings. She fell a couple feet and rose back up to me, not giving up. She punched me in the stomach, knocking the air out of me, and managed to make me fall a few feet. We were like this for a few moments, until Max grabbed my wrist again.
"We're done. I can teach you nothing more," she said releasing my hand.
"That's a relief," I said rubbing my arms. I was probably going to be covered in bruises tomorrow, and so was Max. I looked over to the horizon to find the sun just about to set.
"Come on," Max said, flying off the roof. "We'd better go in." I followed her down and we walked into the house. Iggy was busy making dinner, which just happened to be grilled cheese sandwiches, and he was making at least two dozen. We ate a lot; I beat Angel yesterday in a hot dog eating contest. We almost ran out of hot dogs so now I think Iggy knows to make a lot of extras.
"Hey, Ig, when's dinner going to be ready?" Max asked walking into the kitchen.
"In ten," Iggy replied throwing two more slices of bread into a pan. Suddenly, out of no where, I heard laughter coming from Angel and Nudge's room. As I walked down the hall, with Max, to see what was going on, I saw Gazzy, in him room. He had barely spoken since I had joined them a week ago. Max must have seen what I was looking at.
"Don't take it personally. Gazzy hasn't really trusted anyone new since Itex made a copy of me," she explained.
"I understand," I muttered as we entered Angel and Nudge's room. "What's going on here? We can hear you guys all the way from the kitchen."
"It's nothing, we are just reading your book, Katie, and laughing at the memories," Nudge said, giggling. I walked over to them and sat next to Angel on her bed. I looked at the part they were reading and couldn't help but laugh.
"What is it?" Max asked walking over to read the part over Angel's shoulder. Once she read it, she started cracking up. "Yeah that was pretty funny."
"Angel, can I see the book for a sec?" I asked. Angel nodded and handed me the book. I flipped through the pages and found the part that I was looking for. "What is that secret word?" I asked pointing to the passage when everyone had decided on a secret word to tell them apart from the clones. The book never mentioned the word. Angel whispered it into my ear. "Really?" I asked. She nodded and I handed her back the book. No, I'm not saying what the word is.
If your wondering why this chapter was put in, I put it here because I felt like it. XP The part Kate was refering to was somewhere in the third book. I don't know where. Anyway...REVIEW PLEASE!!!
