Chapter 3 - Who is She

Fang's POV

I had to get out of here. If I just stay still then I'll disappear, that could work. No that won't work, that won't get me out it'll get me stuck in here.

UGH! What the hell am I supposed to do?

I guess I'll just have to sneak by them when they aren't looking.

I walked slowly and quietly around the cave without anyone noticing and then dropped out the entrance while everyone else was still talking. Right after I was completely out of sight I flung my wings out, flying hard into the distance. There had to be somewhere I could go to think. I had to get my head clear before I did anything stupid.

It felt so good to feel the wind on my face while flying away from the claustrophobic little cave.

I wonder if the flock realized I wasn't there yet.

There was a little cave up ahead that I probably could take shelter in until I calmed down a bit.

That way I wouldn't go back and murder Gazzy, which sure wouldn't be the best idea.

-
The cave I found was extremely claustrophobic, but I suppose it'd have to do for now.

At this point I was wicked tired and decided to sleep a bit until the flock found me at least, and it would calm me down some.

. . .

That's when I heard it

The flap of wings. The flock must be looking for me already.

It seemed like it hadn't even been 5 minutes since I went to sleep, but when I looked outside the sun was setting.

I had been asleep for hours.

When I looked outside the cave at first I didn't see anything, and not to boast but I have pretty good eyesight even in the dark.

Then I heard the flap of what sounded like a giant wing, in the somewhat distance.

The flock had to be out there.

Who else could it be? Erasers? Fly-boys maybe?

But then again I only heard what sounded like one set of giant wings. So it couldn't be Eraser's or Fly-boys could it? They wouldn't have just sent one.

The flock wouldn't have split up that much would they? They would at least stay in pairs, and it didn't even sound like two pairs of flying wings. It could only be one pair, but the true question was who or what was out there? Whoever it was was a quiet flyer for the flapping of their wings was ever so subtle.

Then I saw a huge black wing, but I couldn't see the rest of them because they were in the shadows.

Could there be more of kids like us out there? Well what else could it be besides an avian-hybrid.

"Who's out there?" I asked to the shadow

No response. No less than I expected, but my curiosity got the better of me. Causing me to jump off the little cave ledge after the black winged mystery.

It seemed as if it was a lost cause until I caught another glimpse of the black wing, they were flinging fast way ahead of me.

"Who are you!" I questioned them as loud as I could from the distance I still wasn't sure if they heard me. That was until I saw their reaction. They completely froze in midair, still occasionally flapping their wings to keep the altitude.

I took this opportunity to catch up to them, until I was right behind them.

I saw that they had long-ish black hair that was flying around in the wind. I also noticed their wings were about the same length as mine from tip to tip. I couldn't tell how tall "she" was, I was guessing it was a she based on the hair length, because we were in mid-air.

"What do you want?" she asked with an edge to her words. Ooh not very friendly, but honestly who could blame her I suppose.

"I…uh…" I was at a loss for words, not expecting her question. I really had no business with her other than pure curiosity.

She finally turned around to face me with a scowl. When she saw who was talking to her, her expression went blank.

"Who sent you here?" she asked with another stern look

"Excuse me?" I asked simply

"Was it the Institution?"

"No one sent me."

"Then why are you here?"

"I was in a cave and caught a glimpse of your wing."

"I don't believe you." Well at least I knew she was smart enough not to trust someone flying behind her. Even if it was incredibly aggravating.

"Well that's your problem isn't it?" I stated.

"So. It. Seems." She stated each word as its own.

"Got a name?" I was still uncontrollably curious about this girl in the sky. Where on Earth did she come from?

"Shadow." The one word confused me, was that actually her name? But suppose my name's not anymore normal. I suppose I was mainly surprised that she actually gave it to me.

"What about yourself?" Shadow asked.

I realized that Shadow must be her name then so I simply stated "It's Fang"

"Uh-huh. Interesting"

"And you should talk?" responding to her thought

"I suppose you do have point."
