When I woke up, I wanted to go back to sleep. You want to know why? Everything hurt. Like, really, really, really badly.
What was it that Max was always told? At least I think it was Max. Hmm. Something about pain. Pain is... blah. I can't remember.
Where am I? That should have been my first question.
Tons of questions invaded my mind. Where am I? How did I get here? Who grabbed me? Where's the flock? Where are Nalani and Lauren? Are they okay? Why does this place smell like a hospital? Did I get hurt? Why am I strapped down with some velcro straps on a table? What do they want from me? What the hell is going on?
Some dude in a white-coat came in the room. "It's awake!" he yelled. So, now I'm an it?! The dude ran out of the white room through the white doors into the white hallway probably toward another white room with a white door.
Soon after the weird white-coat left, some pretty red-head came in the room. "Hello Shardae." I blinked. Don't show emotion. Be like Fang. Be like Fang. Be like Fang. Shardae, Be like Fang. "My name is Brigid." I blinked again. No emotion. None. Zip. Zilch. Nada. "I need you to tell me where the flock is." No answer.
I heard her swallow, if that isn't weird, I don't know what is. I mean, she was like 5 feet away from me and I heard her swallow.
"Shardae. I know you know where they are. Just tell me." Brigid demanded.
Like I was going to listen to her. I don't even listen to my mom at times, so why would I listen to her?
"Tell me where the flock is now, or you will regret it." She said, stepping closer to my bed.
I looked her in the eye and said, "Go to hell."
"Listen to me. I'm only going to say this nicely once more." That didn't even make sense, smarty. "Where's the flock?"
"I'm not telling you shit." I said.
"I'm sorry it has to be this way." You're not sorry. "You could have been a very good accomplice." I would kill myself before I was your accomplice. "But," But your mom. "I guess you have made your choice." YOU GUESS?! "You are useless to us. You will be terminated." Brigid finished. As long as the flock is safe, whatever. Wait, terminated, they're going to kill me?!
"Or you could just let me go." I said.
"No, you know all of our secrets, I can't let you go now." WHAAAAAAAT?!
"You didn't tell me anything!"
"Regardless, you are nothing to us, why should you exist?" Excuse me?
"Umm...Maybe because the world doesn't revolve around you? Just because someone isn't of use to you, it doesn't mean they should be terminated. Damn." I said, rolling my eyes.
Brigid scoffed and leaned close to my face, "The world does revolve around me."
"Umm... Someone's a bit full of herself.... I bet my sister doesn't even know who you are." I said.
"This is a waste of my time." She started walking away, she stopped at the door and turned to face me, "Oh and speaking of your sister, she's here too." I blinked. She grinned evilly. "And your cousin, and your other cousin." I blinked again. Then she left.
In all of my thirteen years, for some reason, I just don't cry, I don't. Songs don't make me cry, stories rarely make me cry, movies don't make me cry, pain doesn't make me cry, almost nothing can make me cry. So, when I didn't break down and cry, I wasn't surprised.
-3 HOURS LATER-
So, damn, bored. I had been sleep again but then I heard some voices and screams and shouts.
"Get out of the way!" someone yelled. It kinda sounded like Iggy, but it was probably my imagination.
Yeah, my imagination. I never met the flock, this is all my imagination. I bet I can fly and eat ice cream and not get brain freeze. I never met Angel, or Nudge or the Gasman, or Iggy, or Fang, or Max. I never did, I thought.
Shardae! Angel's voice rang through my head.
Angel? I asked hazily.
Yeah, It's me! Where are you?
Uh... In a white room? I don't know.
I then heard voices outside the door and then the door was opened quickly. It was Nudge and Angel!
"There you are!" Nudge exclaimed. They quickly came over and undid the straps, setting me free. But once I hit the ground, I figured out my legs were asleep. I shook my legs a bit to get them awake but that didn't work out as well as I thought it would. I just had to get over it and run.
So I did and ran down the hall with Nudge and Angel to hear screams in a room, I opened it and saw my sister, and 4 of my cousins strapped down in beds similar to mine.
"Shardae!" the five kids younger than me yelled. I went to undo the straps while Nudge and Angel helped. As soon as they were undone, I picked up my four year old cousin and shoved my cousin Lydia's hand into Lauren's hand. My nine year old cousin, Chaz took Lydia's other hand while my sister took Chaz's other hand. Angel took my sister's hand and Nudge took Angel's. Lauren took the hand of mine that wasn't holding my cousin.
We ran out in a long line with Nudge in the lead, then Angel, then Nalani, then Chaz, then Lydia, then Lauren, then me and Ty Ty.
Soon Max, Fang, Iggy, and Gazzy came running down the hall and they joined our little line of fun.
So, after they joined, the line was like a gazillion times longer. With Max leading and me at the end, we left this awful place that smelled like a hospital.
Once outside, we ran towards a forest as fast as we could. I could tell my family was getting tired and they were gonna pass out soon, but I also knew Iggy and Gazzy from Max' books. If I was correct, something should happen in about, 3...2...1...
Nothing. Hmm.
I turned my head but continued running, I stared at the building and my cousin, being the curious cousin he is, turned his head too.
Abruptly, Max stopped, causing me to crash into Lauren who did the same to Lydia, who crashed into Chaz, doing the same to Nalani, whom crashed into Angel who crashed into Nudge who did the same to Gazzy who did the same to Iggy who did the same to Fang whom crashed into Max.
But no one fell and died, so we're good.
"Iggy? Gazzy?" Max started. Gazzy looked up at her while Iggy looked down in her general direction. "Where's the explosion?" The boys grinned and then I heard it. The explosion. The five members of my family turned and looked at the building that was now engulfed in flames.
The only guy in my little family, Chaz released his sister and my sister's hands and walked closer to the burning building. I dropped my hand from Lauren's and grabbed his shoulder to stop him from walking closer. He looked at Gazzy and Iggy expectantly, "You guys did that?"
Gazzy grinned again and Iggy said, "I do believe that is correct, don't you Gasman?"
"Yes, I do Igneous." the Gasman responded.
"Awesome! With like, a real bomb?" Chaz asked excitedly.
Gazzy nodded with equal excitement. "Where have you been all my life?" my cousin asked.
Then the two boys gave high-fives while me and Max rolled our eyes at the same time.
Let's see here.
We have:
3 - 14 year olds - Iggy, Max, Fang
1 - 13 year old - Shardae a.k.a. me
1 - 11 year old - Nudge
1 - 10 year old - Nalani
2 - 9 year olds - Chaz, Lauren
1 - 8 year old - Gazzy
2 - 7 year olds - Angel, Lydia
1 - 4 year old - Dantie a.k.a. TyTy
That's 12 kids, ranging from 4 to 14. 2 families morphed into one.
I just thought of something, my family was now on the run, we were liabilities, we couldn't fly, we weren't as fast runners as the flock and one of us is 4 years old.
"Umm.... Shardae?" Nalani asked. I looked at her. "Yeah?"
"I don't exactly know how to say this but, you have a wing." she said. WHAAAAAAT?!
