HEYYYYYYYY!!!!!! I kind got stumped on this story for a while then I just started writing and it went where it went I kinda had no control so if it's horrible sorry!!!!!!
Disclaimer: I own nothing except Lena and anyother character I introduce.
"You're all like this?" I asked in disbelief.
"Uh, yeah everyone in the world is like that." Fang said matter-of-factly. Not everyone, I thought.
I looked back down at Angel's back.
It was empty. Blank. Nothing. Zero. Zip.
They had all gotten their wings taken off, and had no memory of ever having them. It was about the worst thing that you could do to a bird kid. And I had a pretty good idea who was behind this.
"Jeff and Zephyer do you two know how to make bombs?" I asked. If they didn't know this, well, it wouldn't be good.
"No." Great. Just great.
"Hey where's Total?" Angel asked from the bed.
"You know Total?" I questioned, surprised.
"Yeah... he's our dog." Iggy answered slowly.
"How would you know Total?" Nudge this time.
"He was our dog a couple of years ago."
"We've never even met you before why the heck are you even here! Why don't you just leave!" Fang yelled.
I was a bit taken aback. "Can I at least help you look for Total?" I thought that maybe he would be able to help me, but that was very unlikely. If they didn't keep a bird kids' wings and their telepathic powers, they probably wouldn't keep a dogs' wings and especially not his voice.
Angel made a Bambi face to Fang; she wanted all the help she could get to help look for Total. "All right."
All six of us headed out for the back yard to find Total. "Total. Total!" I yelled while walking the whole time.
We walked about a ½ a mile while still in their backyard (they had a huge backyard, about 640 acres).
"Total!" Angel exclaimed when she saw a small, black, shaggy dog lying in the grass. She ran over to him and we followed her.
Angel knelt down, picked him up and hugged him. She realized that he wasn't fighting. Actually he wasn't moving at all. "Total?" She murmured. She leaned back to look at him. I watched her face as she was hoping that it wasn't what it had to be.
"Ahhhh!" She gave an ear-splitting scream and began to cry. "Total. Total, no." Nudge came behind her and laid a calming hand on her shoulder.
"It is gonna be alright Angel." She said comfortingly.
There was a rustling in the trees to our right. I looked up and before my eyes a little girl flew out of the trees. She couldn't have been more than 5 years old. The little girl approached cautiously. I looked at everyone else. All except Angel was looking at her too. She saw me and came running over.
"Lena!" I exclaimed. "I thought I told you to stay at the house and especially never fly when other people are around!"
Lena looked up at me. "Well I wanted to follow you so I hid in the trees and I heard her scream," she pointed to Angel, "so I came out and saw you." She said in a small voice.
"You killed Total!" Angel shouted suddenly.
"No she didn't!" I bellowed back.
"Yeah she did." Fang yelled.
"No I didn't."
"That's right she wouldn't do anything like that." I said, picking my daughter up.
"Then who killed him?" Iggy questioned skeptically.
I looked at Lena. "Did you see anything honey?"
She didn't answer at first. "Well I did see someone...," she trailed off.
"What did they look like?" I asked expectantly.
"Well they were kind of wolfish but they were still people. They were kind of vicious." She made a sound like a snarling wolf would make.
"Erasers."
"What are they?" Lena asked intrigued.
"They are things that hunt down people, or mutants, down for The School. They are mutants that are genetically enhanced to change into wolfs." Everyone was staring at me, but I ignored them and kept talking, deep into my own thoughts. "They probably came for Lena and I but only found Total. He wouldn't tell them anything because he didn't know so they killed him." Now everyone was staring at me like I was insane.
At first no one spoke, they just stared wide-eyed at me.
"OK first off why was she flying." Nudge said, pointing to Lena.
"Well... uh... umm..." I stammered. I looked at Lena wondering if it would be wise to tell them. But they had already seen so I guess no harm would really be done.
"Okay we both have wings. And can fly." I said. I put Lena down and we both unfurled our wings. "You guys all had wings at one time." They stared at us, mouths agape.
"What's with this 'our' and 'we' crap. We've never even seen you before today. And we've never had wings. I don't even know why you are even here. Why don't you just leave." Fang said angrily.
"You don't believe me even after we showed you our wings?"
"Nope. Fly around then we'll believe you." Gazzy said smarty.
"Okay if that's what it'll take. Come on Lena. Make sure you follow me." We both jumped into the air and flew in circles above their heads.
"Is that proof enough?" I asked as we landed.
"Yeah, I guess so. But who's the little girl?" Iggy questioned, looking at Lena. For the first time she looked up at my old flock.
"She's my daughter." I responded.
"Who's the father?" Fang asked half-heartedly.
Lena looked around at the faces before her. "Daddy!" She exclaimed excitedly and ran, arms open, to Fang.
