Chapter Two-
Iggy POV-
After everyone woke up, I offered to make breakfast.
"Using what?" Gazzy asked.
"I'll find something," I replied and took off. I heard water running so I shifted left a bit until I was at the source. It was a little ravine. Just big enough though to get some water, and hopefully a squirrel or fish or two.
I was listening for a fish flipping, when I heard footsteps. I stiffened and stood up.
"Who's there?" I demanded. The footsteps stopped, and whoever was there froze.
"I know you're there. Show yourself!" I called. After a few moments, the footsteps started again. They were small and dainty, so they probably belonged to a girl.
"H-hi," she stammered. It was definitely a girl. I recognized her voice as Izzy, my clone. I put on a scowl, and got into a fighting stance. I fluttered my wings slightly, in preparation, just in case I had to do a U and A.
"What are you doing here?" I growled menacingly.
"Just making breakfast," she answered, and came next to me, bending down in an attempt to catch a fish. I realized she wasn't intimidated by me, so I relaxed a bit.
"Me too."
After an awkward silence, as she tried catching a fish, I spoke up again.
"So…uh…are you…are you blind like me?" I asked. She stood up.
"Oh…uhm…no." I made a strange face.
"I thought you were exactly like me?" I asked, confused.
"Well, they did the same experiment on me. You know the one they did on you that made you…well, blind. Except it actually…worked," she answered.
"So…you can see?" I asked warily. I had a feeling I knew what was coming.
"Yeah. And I also have night vision. And, well, I wouldn't call it laser beams, but I can pretty much zap stuff and, uhm…" I could tell she felt awkward.
"Go on."
"I can change the color of my eyes, and the color of other people's eyes." She finished. Wow. So that's what my life would be like if the whitecoats didn't totally screw up my eyes. Score one for the School.
When I didn't say anything, Izzy started to sound worried. "I….I'm sorry…" she started.
"Don't be sorry," I assured her. "I like my life."
After a few awkward moments of silence, Izzy spoke up.
"Just to let you know, I'm against Matt and Faith's plan. I don't think it's your fault at all. The whitecoats just needed new specimen, so they made us," she explained.
"Then why were you fighting me?"
"I…well, you always follow Max's rules, right?"
"I guess…"
"At least I didn't use all my strength. I think I only managed to bruise you a few times over. Trust me, if I used all my strength, you'd have been seriously," she chuckled a bit as she said this.
"Well, you know I'm just as strong," I chuckled back.
We sat in another round of awkward silence, until I broke it.
"Our flocks shouldn't be enemies. We should be one big flock. You know how much damage my flock causes as the six of us? Imagine twelve of us!"
Suddenly, Izzy sounded really excited. "You know what? You're right! We should come up with a way to combine our flocks!" she exclaimed.
"Yeah!" I exclaimed, also getting excited. "We could meet here secretly to 'discuss' it,"
"Yes, but right now I have to cook breakfast because no one else in my flock can cook," Izzy said, sounding a bit disappointed.
"I'm the only one in my flock who can cook, too," I added.
"So same time, same place tomorrow?"
"You bet'cha!" and on that note, she took the fish she caught and flew away.
You bet'cha?! What the hell?
After I beat myself up for ending with such an idiotic remark, I sighed heavily and sat on a rock.
"No one can know about this," I said to know one in particular. I walked (for reasons unknown) halfway back, and then realized what I went out for. I quickly caught a few fish and walked (??) back again, totally distracted by Izzy.
Well, that answers your question, cratermaker and O Wingless One!
How is it? I need constructive criticism, such as:
short chapters, OOC characters, weird plot going in an odd direction, and so on.
And I want ideas! I'm sort of running out. I think I know what happens next, but I'm not sure how to end it.
OK! That's all! REVIEW PLEASE!!
