All of the Erasers had regrouped. This was a bad sign.
Chapter 3
I was even more convinced when dangerously strong and fast winds came out of nowhere. By now, my flock had regrouped and stood with our backs facing the Erasers. We were all nervous, all anxious, all scared stiff about what was coming. Either way it was going to be bad, really bad.
Because of my extended eyesight, I spotted a black dot heading towards us unusually fast. "Is there a plane coming towards us?" Iggy asked curiously. No, it wasn't a plane. It was illegal to fly a plane this close to the ground. It had to be a helicopter.
"Guys, hold on to someone and fly down towards the trees!" I screamed, not knowing if my words could be heard over the powerful winds. Like a domino effect, I grabbed Fang's hand, who grabbed Angel's hand, who grabbed Iggy's.
"Gazzy! Grab my hand!" I heard Iggy shout. My attention instantly switched from Gazzy to the helicopter as soon as Gazzy planted his hand in Iggy's. It was only half a dozen metres away. I stared at the black propellers of the army helicopter.
"Is it just me or are they spinning faster and faster?" I thought with my eyes transfixed on those blades. It felt like a volcano eruption and all of the air was rushing up. I knew I couldn't stand it much longer. My hand was gradually slipping. Reading my mind, Fang instantly grabbed my wrist, tightening his grip. I sighed relieved. That was too close…
"Gazzy! No!" shrieked Angel. Gazzy was just too small and the wind was too ferocious. Instantly, I let go of Fang's hand and headed towards Gazzy. But I wasn't able to; Fang's grip was too tight; all I could do was watch him being swept back into the Eraser's clutches by the wind. So that was their plan, this helicopter wasn't own by the government, it was theirs.
I tried to fly backwards, but found it very hard. That was strange. It shouldn't be hard; I shouldn't even need to try. On my second attempt, Fang tightened his grip even more, "What the hell are you doing? Are you mad?" he screamed. Ignoring Fang, I failed again. Maybe it was because I was too worn out, too tired.
A sudden gust of wind made my head made my head jerk backwards, almost cracking my neck. Instantly I turned my body to get a better view. That was when I spotted it. My chocolate eyes rested on Gazzy for a few moments then switched back to it, making the connection. By the time I had realized it, I along with my flock was getting squished by the two opposite winds. I squeezed my eyes shut, feeling the wind's pressure. When I opened them up again a few seconds later, the winds were gone, the helicopter was gone, the Erasers were gone and what I saw was gone taking Gazzy with it.
I took in a slow deep breath. Gazzy was gone.
[A/N] Sorry, I know it's a bit short! The next chapter will be up probably after New Years... unless I'm feeling nice and if I get more than 6 reviews, They Will Pay might be updated tomorrow with a new chapter.
