"I don't exactly know how to say this but, you have a wing." she said. WHAAAAAAAT?!
All heads snapped to look at me, well all heads but Iggy's. I blinked, not knowing what she was talking about.
I didn't feel anything back there, but when I looked at my back I saw she was right, I had a wing. It was white with black speckles all over it. I almost, almost, almost, screamed. But, I don't do that, so I didn't.
I then glanced at my family members and blinked twice in surprise. I walked behind them to see they had wings as well. Lauren's wings were all black like Fang's, Nalani's wings were blue, like a blue jay, Lydia's were red and white, like some kind of bird, and Chaz's wings were all red. I looked at the toddler in my arms and saw he had some wings as well. His were black with white spots.
Then Lydia started crying and I walked over to her and sat on my knees so she was at my eye-level. I sat my cousin on the ground and he sat there looking at the wings of my family. I pulled Lydia to me and said, "What's wrong?"
She sniffed and looked at me, "I want my mom."
Chaz walked over and bluntly said to Lydia, "Mom did this to us. We're not going to get her."
Lydia looked at Chaz and wiped her eyes, "Why?"
"Cause she's a..." he started, but looked at my face, "mom." he finished. I nodded my approval and looked back at Lydia. "It's going to be okay, we don't need her." I started, looking at my family, "We have each other." I finished with a straight face. My younger family members glanced at one another, then we all burst out laughing. What? We're just a normal family, we fight all the time, more with actions than words. But now, we have wings. And who's fault is that? I have no idea.
The flock stared at my family like we belonged in a nut-house. Which, we probably did.
But, hey. Whatcha gonna do bout it? Nothing? Exactly.
Once we were done laughing.... "Uh. Shardae?" Lauren asked, looking at me.
"Yeah?" I answered, looking her straight in her big brown eyes full of questions while she stared into my light blue almost gray ones full of... something....O.o
"What are we going to do?" she asked. Then all of my little family turned to look at me as if I had a clue on what we were doing.
"Why are you asking me?" I asked even though it had an obvious answer. I was the eldest, the most responsible one, the one with the most hidden money.
"You know why." Nalani said, knowingly.
I sighed and Max walked over to us. "We can teach you guys to fly. And how to fight." she said. I looked up at her and mouthed my thanks. She gave a small nod and mouthed 'anytime.'
Then we heard sirens, and saw fire trucks finally coming to the place that had previously been blown up.
"Er... Time to go?" Chaz asked, alternating looking between me and Max.
I glanced at Max and we both smiled, "Time to go." we said together.
We formed the little line of fun again and ran to the forest.
-1 HOUR LATER-
We had set up camp and stuff and mostly everybody was asleep. I wasn't, I had offered to take first watch since I would have been up anyway.
What time is it? I looked up at the sky and the billions of stars up there. I tried to figure out the time. Hmm... Judging by the sky, I would have to come to the conclusion that I have no clue how people look up at the sky and know what time it is.
So, instead of looking at the sky like an idiot, I pulled my cell phone out of my jeans pocket and looked at the time. It was 4 in the morning. I exhaled, slowly, but not deeply this time.
Someone shifted and groaned and I turned to whomever it was. It was Chaz. He sat up quickly and looked at me, groggily.
He walked over to me and sat down beside me looking at all the people sleeping. He rubbed his eyes as if not believing there were so many people here.
"Shardae?" he said. I looked at him. "Who are those other people with wings? You never told us." he asked.
Hm... What should I tell him? That they were from a book I read? That they crashed through my window? That they go to my school? That I met them at the awful hospital-smelling place?
I ruffled his hair, "I'll tell you later, you being Lydia, Lauren, Nalani, you and Ty Ty. Okay?"
He muttered something, then said, "What happens if I say no, not okay?"
I laughed and said, "You know what happens." He tilted his head as if to say, 'I do?'
"I kick your skinny little butt." I clarified. His eyes widened a bit at that. I laughed at that which caused him to laugh which caused Lauren to wake up.
"Guys? Could you keep it down?" she asked.
"Nope." Chaz and I answered at the same time.
"Aw. Twins." my sister mocked. Huh. I didn't know she was up. I looked at my phone and saw it was 6 in the morning. How the hell did that happen? I yawned and looked at my awake family members.
They all looked sleepy. They usually slept until noon and here it was 6 in the morning and they were up.
I looked around, scanning the area for bad guys, M-Geeks, Brigid. You know.
I exhaled again, and then I heard something. Chaz heard it too, because he stopped talking abruptly. Nalani and Lauren kept talking. "Nalani." Chaz hissed just as I hissed Lauren's name. They stopped their chatter and I put a finger to my lips.
They ignored me and kept talking. I kicked them. "OW! WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?" Nalani yelled.
That woke up everyone that was sleeping.
"Huh?"
"What's going on?"
"Don't kill me!"
"Stupid mom, why'd she do that?"
"..."
"AHHHHHHH!"
"-blinks-"
"It wasn't me! It was Gazzy!"
Then everyone looked at everyone else and they all started talking at once, except for Fang, Chaz, and Dantie, they stayed quiet.
"Guys." I said, trying to get their attention.
"Guys?" Chaz asked.
"Guys?" I tried again but to no avail.
"Guys." Chaz said a little louder.
These people were giving me a headache.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Chaz yelled. That got their attention. I gave him a look and he shrugged. He looked at all the Avian-Americans and said, "We heard something."
Iggy looked like he was listening as well, then I heard it again, a branch on the ground snapping and someone sucking in their breath.
I stood up and turned around, looking around for whomever made the noise. I saw two squirrels prancing around. Nalani came up beside me and saw the squirrels. She looked at me, "It was just some squirrels." she said, loud enough for everyone to hear.
"It wasn't just some squirrels, there has to be someone, I heard them." Chaz said.
"Me two." Iggy said.
"Me three." I said. Then I looked at Nalani, "So, shut up and sit down."
She grumbled something and sat on the ground, defeated.
I looked back at the trees where the sound had come from, so many minutes ago.
I glanced from tree to tree, and one of the trees looked funny. I practically glared at the tree, trying to figure out why it was funny-looking. Then I saw the outline of a person, trying to blend in with the tree.
You see a person? Angel asked. Hmm. Been a long time since I heard from her in my head.
Yeah. They're against the tree, almost blending in completely. Hey, wait, I see, more people, at least six... But we have to get out of here now. I thought back, glaring at the people, tree, whatever.
Okay, I'll tell everyone...In their minds. Angel replied. I will not say what was creepy about that sentence. I will not.
Then all of sudden, my family practically jumped 3 feet in the air, screaming their heads off. Ahh, the joys of creeped out family members.
"SHUT UP!" I yelled. Again, a little out of characterness from me. But hey... they gave me a headache, and now I'm irritable.
They stopped screaming and stared at me.
"It's just Angel." I said, answering the unasked question.
This only creeped them out more and they looked at each other and then, together, as if they planned it, they screamed at the same time which only gave me a bigger headache.
"CUT IT OUT!" I yelled, to which worked and they stared at me. "Just stop, screaming. Please." I said, quietly. Ugh. My family slowly nodded, and settled down, somewhat.
The flock just stared at us, kinda freaked out. We were probably scarier than Erasers, Flyboys, M-Geeks, and whatever put together. Maybe as scary as Angel...
"Shardae? What are we going to do?" The four middle kids asked, together, again. Umm.... I have no clue... They did say 'we', so....
I sighed. Then I thought of something.
"You are going to shut up." I said, rubbing my temples.
That's right, Shardae. There's always a plan. Even if there isn't.
XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD
did you like it?
are my bratty family members annoying?
are they lovable annoying?... nope....just kidding....maybe...XD
they are based off of my real-life cousins!
it's sad...
they really would ignore me if i told them to shut up, they would scream after they were told to shut up, they would call each other twins for saying something together, they would yell shut the fuck up to strangers, they would....
blah.
review?
hate my cousins and think they should just die off?
tell me!
because, i might... i might be the one to kill them... -grins wickedly-
:)
actually, i think i will, because i can't do it in real life.
maybe i can have an alternate ending. yeah. that'll work. i just got another idea!
okay,
bye for now. :)
