Chapter 2 SO, um, Where To?

I woke up wet and cold. My brain went into hyper drive. I bolted upright. Where was I? O right never mind. I was in a forest somewhere in the United States. I stood up and brushed some of the snow off of my legs.

I shook the flock awake. They all, except Fang, got up groggily. Moaning and groaning.

"OK, gang. Christmas is just around the corner. Where to?" Fang stood up and shook his hair, throwing little snow particles everywhere. Omigosh. Wow. In his black attire he looked totally off with all the white snow. He looked, wow.

"Well we should probably actually do something this year. We've never had a Christmas before." Thank you Captain Obvious.

"But where?" I asked him and he gave me his oh so helpful shrug. "You're the leader. You decide." He walked toward a tree so he could lean against it.

I sighed. Then it hit me. New York. Wait way to crowded. Especially on Christmas. But the kids would love it. Why not? Um, Hello! The Institute, Erasers. Yes that would be a problem but still the kids would love it. Let's go anyway. I would be fun. Gosh, I was turning into a softie. They hadn't even said anything. Gosh.

"Ok, we are going to New York." Every head swiveled in my direction. Nudge, Angle, and Gazzy started bouncing up and down excitedly. "Yes, New York. I liked it there. It was crowded but the shops were cool. Tons of cute stuff. The park was- " Nudge went on but I blocked her out as Fang glared at me.

I sighed I knew he wasn't going to move. I walked over to him "What?" I snapped.

"New York? Max, isn't the Institute in New York? There will be Erasers everywhere and there will be tons of people for the holidays. Why New York?" I just stared at him like he was stupid.

"The kids need a break. I thought we should do something for Christmas." I was about to add more but Fang cut me off.

"And you're going to do so by walking right up to where the enemy is. We are going to spend our Christmas in the subway if we go there. It's freezing there. Or do you have some other plan?"

I just stood there. I hadn't really thought of that. I didn't have a plan past getting there; I was also surprised at how Fang was being so touchy about this. Usually he didn't voice his answers. "We took out Itex. So who knows maybe the Institute is gone to, besides I still have the credit card so we can check into a hotel or something."

Fang was about to say something but I cut him off. "End of discussion." I noticed Iggy hadn't said anything this whole time. "What about you, Ig? What do you think?"

He looked in my general direction. "Are we going to the noisy part?"

"Yes, Iggy. Sorry." He scrunched his nose.

"Fine, as long as we can find that library again." I nodded and then realizing he couldn't see me I said, "Sure Iggy. We'll try our best. Ok guys, is everyone ready?"

I was responded with a chorus of "yes'", well everyone except Fang, who just kept glaring at me with a look that said your-making-a-huge-mistake. Well, to bad for him we were going anyway.

"Alright guys, up and away." I unfurled my wings and flew up into the sky. The icy wind blew through my feathers. I felt giddy, yes I said giddy, I know weird. Flying was one of the best things ever. Once everyone was up in the air we were on our way to New York. The Big Apple.
