Wing~Chapter 6
A/N:Hey! I haven't updated in a long time. Sorry. But I'm going to put a new story up soon. It's an avatar fic. Not sure what to call it yet. Look out for it. And also check out Leopardheart-Naomi avatar fict called Zutara. Its great. XD
K. So there's a LITTLE bit of a time skip here. Not too much. A week.
So...nothing else I can think of so...ON WITH IT!
"Like this?" Nudge asked me. She twisted my foot to the side.
"Kinda. You have to go farther and do it faster," I told her. She nodded and dropped my foot. I did a roundhouse and she caught it again. She twisted it to the side hard and fast. I almost flipped over which was what the idea is.
"Great!" I told her after she let go. "We can do more after lunch."
She nodded eagerly, smile on her face. We walked in together to help with dinner, passing Fang who had been watching us by on the door-frame.
I had been here for a week. I still felt out of place but things where better. Fang had acted nothing like he was on the roof but I learned to live with it. Nudge and Gazzy had let me teach them a bit of what I know and Angel and I have been working on the mind power thing. Max didn't seem to trust me much more. I don't blame her. Iggy kinda just stayed out of the picture. Part of me wanted to get to know him but I knew to leave him alone. Ella and I had talked a bit. She told me about her school. And I thought I had a messed up life. There was way too much drama. Just hearing the least of it made me angry. I couldn't imagine living with it five days a week. I would explode.
When I told her this, she laughed and said, "This isn't even the worst of it. I stay out of that stuff."
Even though it wasn't often, I talked to Iggy. Mostly about music. I showed him one band, Senses Fail, that he seemed to like a bit. He showed me some too. It was great that I could get along with everyone. Expect for Fang. He just frustrates me. But yet he's the one I wish I knew. Now I'm starting to sound like one of the stories Ella told me.
We all sat down and dug in. Pizza. Best food ever. I took a bite and had to pull the slice away until the cheese gave-way and fell onto my face. The table erupted in laughter. I smiled, still trying to get the cheese into my mouth. After I manged that, I tried to eat without making a fool of myself. Did. Not. Work. I really didn't expect it to. Lucky a few of my fails no one noticed. Expect for Fang. He laughed but hid it and then pretend not to. Yeah, guys are insanely confusing.
After lunch, I helped clean up with Angel. When there was a knock on the door, I jumped. Angel laughed.
"It wasn't funny," I said, laughing myself. "OK fine. It was. Now go back to cleaning, I got the door. "
I set the plate the had almost crashed to the floor on the counter and went to the door. Upon opening it I found a girl probably around fourteen dressed in jeans and a purple tee. She had long black hair with reddish brown streaks and dark brown eyes. And...cat ears? Yeah, red-brown and black tabby cat ears and...oh yeah, a tail. I ignored it. Probably like those fake vampire teath people are into. When she smiled, I saw she had those too.
Trying to be a cat? Well I gotta give her props. At least it's different.
"Hey, I'm Izzy," She greeted. I smiled, getting an awesome idea.
"Yeah hey," was the only greeting I gave her before yelling, "HEY, FANG! YOUR GIRLFRIEND'S HERE!" I looked back at the girl.
"I am NOT his girlfriend. I'm his-"
"Shhh. Let me enjoy this. Please."
Fang and the rest of the Flock ran downstairs, hearing my yell. I stepped out of the way of the door. Fang's face was one of confusion until I stepped out of the way. Relief flooded into his face for a second before becoming unreadable again. Damn. He knows her. She isn't gonna go with it. Oh well. Fun while it lasted.
"She's my sister," Fang said pointedly.
"Oh...Maybe I should have listened to her before doing that," I said. Everyone laughed even though I wasn't trying to be funny.
Fang hugged the girl named Izzy. "Hey sis."
"So what's up?" Nudge. "We haven't seen you in forever. Is something wrong? Oh no the lab isn't chasing you again is it? I h-" She stopped seeing the looks everyone was giving her.
"Nothing's wrong Nudge. I just wanted to stop by and say hi," Izzy said with a smile.
"You need a place to crash don't you?" Gazzy said. I stifled a laugh.
"Yeah kinda." She admitted. "I'll be fine if your house is full though." She nodded towards me.
"Oh no, don't let me keep you from staying here. I'd be fine sleeping outside. Or leaving but someone with bambi eyes kept me here," I told her.
Angel smiled, proud.
"No please, we'd love to have you. We'll find somewhere for you to sleep," Dr.M instead. She must do this a lot.
"Where did you sleep last time?" I asked
"On the couch."
"Then you can have the couch and I'll...I'll take the floor."
"Wing, that's o-" Dr.M started but I cut her off.
"Dr.M it's the floor or the tree."
The vet sighed. I didn't want to do this to her after she's been so nice but I'm not going to let her make a fuss over me. Fang's sister can have the couch.
For the rest of the day, I tried to avoid Fang and his sister. It kinda worked. I managed to avoid Fang but his sister caught up with me. I had just finished training when I went inside for water.
"Wing, right?" She asked.
I nodded. I really didn't want to do this.
"I'm Izzy," She introduced herself, holding out her hand.
I ignored it and sipped on the water.
She kept it up. "Got a problem?" The cat girl asked in a tight tone.
"No." I said back at the same tone.
She narrowed her eyes but put her hand down. I could see she wasn't the I-know-there's-good-in-you type. I respected that.
"Why are you here?" She asked, trying to be nice.
"Why do you care?" I asked, pushing it.
"I don't really."
"Good."
We held each other's glares.
"What's with you and Fang? Why do you hate him?"
"I don't. He hates me. And I don't care. Why do you?"
"Look, I'm just trying to get along concerning we're going to be around each other."
"Well, Izzy, I don't need this. I don't need friends and I don't need to be here. The only thing that is keeping me here is Angel and this stupid arm," I held up the braced arm. I lowered my voice, seeing Iggy walk by.
She turned to watch him. I caught the smile forming on my face before she turned back and continued, "So, the last thing I need is to become friends with some cat-obsessed freak who's head over heels for Iggy," I sneered.
Izzy slapped me hard across the side of my face. I was too stunned to react and hit her back.
"Listen to me, newbie, I have more status here in this Flock and I'm not afraid to fight you," She snapped coldly. The girl turned on her heel and followed after Iggy.
I gritted my teeth, slammed the water down and stormed off to keep from starting a fist fight. I almost ran across the yard.
"Where are you going?" I heard a voice in a tree and snapped my head around to see Fang.
"Why the hell do you care?" I all but yelled and took off into the sky.
I flew for a bit before landing in a tree. I leaned my head back against the tree trunk and closed my eyes. I had calmed down a lot and soon fell asleep.
When I woke up it was starting to get dark out. I sighed and climbed down from the tree. I knew I had missed dinner and was glad I did. The last thing I needed was an awkward meal. I started walking to a place where I could get out easily when I bumped into something. A Fang something.
"Wing. I cam-"
"I know why you're here. Angel was worried so you came to look for me because she bambi-eyed you. I get it."
"No actua-"
"Look Fang, don't start. I'm already pretty confused about you the last thing I need is more confusion. You're nice to me then you act like you pretty much hate me. I don't care if you hate me, it will make things easier. Much easier. I don't care if Angel is the reason you were nice to me when I first came here. I. Do. Not. Care. But I don't need this so I'll make this easy for you. I'm leaving here as soon as this freaking arm heals, maybe even sooner, so how about you stay out of my way and I'll stay out of yours," I snap.
I forget about finding a good place to take off and do it now, finding my way through branches and flying back home. Alone. When I got back to the house, I snuck in quietly and went straight to the kitchen.
I couldn't make anything so I quietly looked around for something to eat. I found Froot Loops (r in circle thing)and just made myself a bowl. I would have to settle for that. I leaned against the counter and ate. I saw light and knew Fang was coming in. I looked down at the floor and listened to his almost silent footsteps. I heard them stop and look up to see nothing. He was out of my view. I listened, waiting for them to start again but they didn't. I realized my Froot Loops (r in circle thing)where gone. I frowned at the milk before drinking it and putting it in the sink.
I walked to the living room and found a blow up matress set up that I laid on and looked up at the ceiling for a while before eventually falling asleep.
