Oh my gosh I actually had time to update. I've been so busy and I just haven't had time to update. Sorry I'll try to keep the updates coming about once a week or so from now on. Enjoy.

"How about New York or San Francisco? Those are large enough cities." Josh suggested, popping a bunch of French fries into his mouth.

We had stopped to eat at a McDonalds somewhere in Nevada, heading west. Now we weren't so sure that was a good idea. An image of my mom popped into my head, along with a memory of when I was younger. I had gotten lost in the woods around a campsite and some how my mom was able to find me. Then I was also scooped up into my dad's arms and carried back to camp, I was only five then.

"BLADE!"

Started, I looked over at Jess. There was something very different about her that I just couldn't put my finger on. She was so strong for everyone, like a substitute mother, and she was the spitting image of her mother.

"What Jess?"

"I was asking you if you had any ideas as to where to look for our parents. Obviously something went wrong if Itex found out about us."

Running down the list of possibilities, I noticed Shay was waiting for my answer. I guess he had sort of become the leader and I was grateful, very content to be the silent shadow that always was on the right or left side.

"Blade what about somewhere in the mountains, like in Tennessee or some other state?" Casey asked me looking very innocent. Now here was a girl that you didn't want to mess with. Her shields could be lethal and as Jess confessed to me once, a good way to keep the younger kids from getting hurt.

An idea suddenly sprang into my head. "What about Pigeon Forge Tennessee? It's a tourist city and fairly large, a good place to start and find info."

Shay nodded his head and considered the options. I could see Rush was thinking of something because he just stared straight ahead and jumped when I waved my hand in front of his face. Even though he was my twin brother, and we had wings, he still annoyed my so much, yet if I had to fight in a battle there was no one more I would want by my side. Ugh, the complications of… my life.

"Um Shay," Josh said while looking intently at his food. Somehow we found something very interesting.

"There are a bunch of erasers around us." Casey finished what Josh was saying. He also had decided that something looked very interesting in his food."

"Alright," Shay spoke so quietly I had to strain to hear and he barely moved his mouth, he would have to teach me that. "Rose, tell your ferret to make some chaos, then on my cue, jump out of the booth and out the door. Head to the trees and take off. Split up, do a wide circle to loose the erasers that follow you and then meet right outside of town."

We all nodded and I felt Roses ferret, crawl over my feet and on to the floor. Yes we still had the ferret, Rose couldn't part with him.

"Rush, take Eliza and Rose and head north. Josh and Casey, you're with me, and Chellsie you're with Jess and Blade. I really hate to say this but, Jess and Blade try to get as many erasers to follow you as possible. I would do it, but I want to take recon and see what we're dealing with."

A slight smile touched my lips, I would gladly lour the erasers towards me. Chellsie and Jess were both capable of handling themselves in fights. Suddenly there was a girl in the kitchen screaming 'rat'. Then more and more were also yelling. The erasers started to get antsy and they took their attention off of us.

"NOW." The one word was strained and almost impossible to hear but Rose and Eliza slid under the table, while Casey and Josh jumped on the table. The rest of us jumped out of our seats and we booked it out the doors and to the take off spot. Shay was the last to take off and then there were erasers everywhere.

Everyone started to take off but Jess turned around and hovered for a minute.

"Hey you want me, then come and get me. Although the way you guys fly, I mean yeah you're better than the first bunch my parents told me about but you haven't improved very well."

An eraser launched himself at Jess and she merely flapped her wings once, got on top of him then plummeted with all her strength. This seemed to get most of the erasers attention.

Jess shot past us, yelling move it, as she went by. Chellsie looked back and saw why, oh boy Jess did it this time.

Chellsie took off, fast, and I followed. How Jess managed to angle the eraser she kicked to hit another eraser like that… well it was something her parents could be proud of. I mean, she made that one guys eraser kiss and another eraser. He landed just right on top of that other eraser… something everyday Jess did threw me for a loop. I was never board around her.

"Hang on guys, we got company."

I turned around ready to face the on slot of erasers. This was going to be fun.
