CHAPTER 3
"Who are you?" I asked, the right side of my body leaning towards him, while the left side is still ready to run back and lift up.
"I'm not as dangerous as you expect me to be so calm down and then we'll talk." He said turning and looking around. Obviously waiting for me to get out of my stance. Instead I walked over to the group and conferred with them. Well, not all of them. Basically I just talked with Fang, but Max just loves to butt in.
"I think we should go after him." Max said. Okay, that's the last time you are going to talk during my talks with Fang. Acting like she hadn't said a word, I continued my conversation with Fang.
"So Fang I think we should see what this guy does. I don't think he'll be all that dangerous-" I start only able to get a sentence and a half out before somebody blurted out.
"But what if he is dangerous? What if he hurts you or the rest of the flock? Will you be able to cope if something bad happens to Angel? Or Fang?" She asked slightly tearing up at Fang's name. What did I tell you? She's a softy...
"That's why I'm the only one going out there while you guys stay here. Don't I ever find you when you get lost?" Referring back to when we escaped the School and I had to cause a distraction. And when I had to distract Jeb when he went berserk (didn't see that coming huh?) and save the rest of the flock from his knife-wielding-flailing hand. Sure I was hurt. Sure we were separated. Sure I thought that I would never find them; but I did. I found them every time that we were apart. And every time that we were apart Max was almost falling to pieces and Fang was her tape. I can't believe he likes her, ANYWAYS...
"Okay.." Mumble Max warily.
"Are you sure Storm?" Fang asked me again, which of course got on my nerves. We are so much more alike than we both thought aren't we? I heard Fang say.
"Yeah I guess we are," I started and after a few minutes of looking at confused flock members I said, "Wait.. You did say something right?"
"No, but I was just thinking about how we are so much alike, you know, because I saw how annoyed you were with me asking if you're sure." Holy crap. I can hear some of Fangs thoughts. Then after a few minutes I thought. Ew I can hear some of Fangs thoughts! Embarrassed, I continued on to talk to the strange man.
"You done? Great, now, let me introduce myself, I, am James." Okay, back it up. Just pause this part for a minute. Yes, me and the flock have already known James he was one of the people in the cages. He was about, let's say, fifteen? Yeah, sure fifteen. He was abducted. Don't ask me how I know these information about him. Trust me, you don't want to see me when I do think about those things. Remember my ability? Yeah you don't want a fourteen year old trying to fly off to the building that you were trying to escape from your whole life. This guy ended up just disappearing. Poof. Like that we didn't see him anymore. I always assumed he... It doesn't matter. Whatever happened to him was either 1) he died - which I guess we just ruled out- 2) he joined forces with the School, or 3) he just happened to be let go and just flew away through the front freaking door.
Considering that the chances of him just being able to walk out are slim, I think we are only left with option 2. Assume that he's with the School. Well Mr. Patterson, I guess your in for a big surprise aren't ya?
