Chapter 2

We all sat in the living room, Dylan still in pink jeans and a pink t-shirt. Everyone was doing something different, Angel was playing with her stuffed animals, Nudge was watching What Not to Wear, Max, Iggy, Fang and, Dylan were playing a game of poker and I was helping Gazzy put together a Lego set, which was hard because we were missing a lot of pieces. There was a bang at the door. We all froze.

"It's probably just a salesperson guys" I said, but I knew that a salesperson wouldn't bang on the door like that. Before anyone could stop me I got u and walked to the front of the house, I paused before I even reached the windows, I hadn't seen anything yet but I felt it. That's another thing about me, I can feel other people's emotions, sense their projected thoughts, I couldn't read minds like Angel could but if someone thought hard enough about something I could hear it. "They're here" I whispered back to the rest of the flock. "Erasers about 30 of them and Jeb's here too".

Everyone stiffened up, suddenly on alert. "Ok Dylan and Fang you two work on getting the kitchen skylight out, if we break it it'll make too much noise and alert them that were here." They both nodded and got to work, for a moment forgetting their hatred toward each other. "What are they doing here?" Max asked. Both Angel and I stood there staring at the door as they banged on it again and again, but didn't answer. When the next thought came we both went pale, especially me, staring at the spot where Jeb was standing.

There was a loud sucking sound as the boys managed to get the skylight out of its socket in the ceiling and max started hurrying Angel and The Gasman through the hole onto the roof. I was next, she pushed me toward the socket, it was too narrow for my wings so I climbed up on the table and hoisted myself onto the roof where I crawled to the back edge where the army of malicious creatures on the other side couldn't see me and waited there with Gazzy and Angel, Nudge following close behind. When we all got out we managed to fly out into the woods unseen just as we heard t a loud Bang as they kicked down our door.

"So what did they want?" Max asked again

"They wanted me" I said

At the same time Angel said, "They wanted Blaze"

"Blaze? But why" she asked

"because" Angel started "she's special"

It had been a week since we had left our house, Angel hadn't told us anymore than I was "special". I didn't know what she meant but I wasn't going to let it bother me. We had gone to the only place we could think of, to Dr. Martinez's. She had suggested that we start attending school with Ella, and in an attempt to fit in and not seem out of the ordinary we agreed. Today was the first day. We walked to school in silence, not really having much to say. I didn't think I really needed school, it was just a disguise kind of, something to make me seem more normal so I was harder to find. They had debated whether to put me in the 5th or 6th grades because I did so well on the placement test and decided just to put me in 5th grade G and T (gifted and talented) program . I was supposed to be in 4th with Gazzy because of when my birthday was.

We walked into Kennedy Public School, each hallway was separated by grade starting with the kindergarten. So Angel left first at the second grade hallway, then Gazzy and then me. The teacher grinned at me. "Hello there, you must be Elizabeth" I nodded, Elizabeth was my alias. She led me into the classroom and showed me a desk in the back in between a blonde girl and a red haired boy. "You can sit right there"

"Thank you" I told her, as I sat down.

"Class this is Elizabeth, I trust you'll make her feel welcome". A few kids turned around and waved, but most just mumbled hellos. The teacher turned around and started writing on the board.

"Hi I'm Megan and this is Jordan" The blonde girl said gesturing to herself and then the red haired boy.

"Hi"

"Elizabeth right?"

I nodded "You can call me Lizzy if you want"

She grinned "alright then Lizzy"

I walked outside with Megan and Jordan during recess, the third, fourth and fifth grades all had the same recess and some 10th grade classes was eating in the outdoor cafeteria, so I could see some of the other flock members, including The Gasman, who at school was now Joseph or Joe. There was a loud shout from the other side of the playground, where the 3rd and 4th grades were. I looked over but couldn't see much.

"Hey what's going on?" I asked my new friends

"I don't know" Jordan replied "Let's go check it out"

"Ok" both Megan and I said.

We crossed the fence to the other side of the playground.

"It looks like a fight" Megan said, frowning.

"Oh heck no!" I exclaimed

"What?" Megan asked

There was a large kid, probably a 6th or 7th grader whose classes had just come outside. He was towering over a 4th grader, the 4the grader just happened to be Gazzy. The boy pushed Gazzy, shoving him up against a tree. I knew Gazzy wouldn't fight back, this boy was big, he might have been able to hold his own for a while but he'd get tired after while, plus he knew Max would kill him if he broke character as a normal kid. If I beat up this kid I'd get killed by both Max and Fang. "Oh well" I thought

"That's my brother!" I told Megan. But I didn't wait 4 a reply. I walked up behind the boy slowly. "Hey!" The kid wheeled around.

"What do you want kid?" he yelled at me.

"I want you to lay off my little brother!" I yelled back. The crowd gathered around us all went oooooooh then hushed to hear what happened next.

"Yeah?" the kid laughed and looked around at the crowd. "What are you gonna do about it?"

I assumed my fighting stance "come at me!"

"Fine" he tried to push me over but I stepped aside and used his own momentum to kick him over easily. He tried to wipe my own legs out from under me but I move again.

"Come on get up!"I yelled at him "stand up and fight!" The crowd got bigger.

The boy struggled to get up but I shoved him back down. I was on top of him now pounding my fists into his face over and over again "Don't…you…ever…pick…on…my…brother...again!" I yelled hitting him with each word. I don't know how long this went on for, I heard teachers blowing their whistles, trying to get through the thick crowd gathered around us. Suddenly someone has a thick strong arm, around me, pulling me off the boy. I struggled against the person but they held my arms behind my back in a nice firm lock."Move along people! Nothing to see here get back to your class!" Dylan yelled. The crowd slowly dispersed.

"Let me go Blondie!" I yelled at him.

He kept his lock firm "No way kiddo"

"you have to sometime"

"True" he agreed, he slowly let go of me. He fixed a firm gaze on me " but move from that spot and I promise you'll regret it"

He didn't scare me, but I stayed as he helped the guy up.

"Thanks man" the boy said.

"Don't thank me" Dylan told him "I didn't help you up because I wanted to; I just wanted to set a good example for the kid."

"Aww come on man" the boy said "what's wrong with me?"

"What's wrong is that I know that my little sister must have been provoked, she wouldn't do that for nothing." The boy didn't have a chance to reply because four teachers came up, two of them fussing over him.

"You" one teacher said to me, she was one of the high school teachers "you did this, we saw you. Dylan?" she asked "this is your sister?"

Dylan nodded

"Take her to the principal's office" she told him.

"Yes mam" he told her. "Come on Elizabeth" he said.

"I could make a run for it" I thought.

Dylan must've seen the look in my eyes because he grabbed my wrist tightly. "Don't even think about it" he dragged me down inside and down the hallway.

Ok peoples that's it and I know Dylan's being weird but there's a reason. I will be updating my other stories soon as well and if you haven't read them please check em out. And review REVIEW!
