Hey. Sup? Thanks muchies for ze reviews! Keep em' up! Fourth chapter, here we go. Sorry its short. I wanted to update but I'm too tired to write a really long one.
Pizza place. Dark, empty, janitors closet.
Perfect.
I went in first, just to make sure it was safe. I waved for Sliver to follow. Before I knew it he was next to me, scouting out the closet where we would sleep. Cove, Twist and Clover soon followed, Twist limping, Cove scowling, and Clover's eye's glowing.
Did I mention she had night vision? I mean, we all did, but hers was the best. I had heard the whitecoats mentioning something about how the first time they had tried this it ended up with the subject loosing their sight. I was so glad it didn't happen to Clover. "Here." I whispered, motioning to the closet. "C'mon." Cove picked his way through. "Are you sure this is sanitary?" He grimaced as he smelled the chemicals. I rolled my eyes. "Uh, yeah."
Suddenly I heard a shriek coming from Twist. I leapt out. "What the…" Sliver muttered as he tried to get through, his sliver wings still not completely folded in. Twist was backing up. "Who are you?" She asked, her voice ringing out clearly even though she was scared and shaking. Clover stood behind her, her black wings flung out.
I saw a flash of bright red. Someone's hair.
Saffy.
Saffy. Saffy. My heartbeat sped up. I knew that color anywhere. She had been taken away earlier this year. Nine years old. Still beautiful. Behind her was Hedgehog. "Lemme see em'!" He shouted in his always loud voice. Then Saffy's eyes set on me. "Zero?" "Saffy?" We both asked at the same time. Her bright blue eyes lit up, her orange wings bursting out, unfolded completely. "Guys! It's me and Hedgehog!" Hedgy (as we liked to call him) ducked under her and grinned. "Cove! Sliver! Zero! Clover! Twist!" He hugged us all, Saffy bouncing up and down. "They took us! Far away, then dropped us off in the forest! We made our way to the city, and...and…we stayed her for as long as possible, surviving! And then we met you!" She squealed, embracing all of us. Sliver sighed through his nose, and I almost laughed out loud. He hated these kinds of huggy-huggy things. I, for one, was overjoyed to have them back. Cove just smiled, Clover having her usual solemn look on. But I knew she was happy. Twist still looked a bit shaken and stunned, but hugged them all. Hedgy's face was spilt ear to ear from smiling too much. Metaphorically, of course.
