Sorry, for not updating sooner but I was busy. As for people criticizing my spelling and punctuation I am sorry for my grammatical errors but, I type fast and when I look my story over for things like that I don't catch everything. For the person that thinks Ember is thinking to much and not talking enough my explanation is that right know there is no one for her to talk to because she is on her own. When she meets, the Flock there will be more conversations. On with chapter 3. ENJOY!

I slowly began to plough through the small army of Erasers. Ten was not that many and I was positive that I could take them. I planted a firm kick to the first Erasers stomach and clamped my hands down hard over the second Erasers ears, making him shriek and drop from the sky. I kicked the next Eraser in the head hard enough to make him faint and drop like a rock. One by one, I faced the Erasers and watched as the fell through the air.
"I hate you ugly beasts," I shouted as a delivered a kick to the final Erasers head sufficiently causing him to descend toward the rock hard Earth with the rest of his comrades. The few Erasers that were not killed began flying off in the direction they had come and feeling victorious after avoiding capture I called after them in triumph "You tell the School that I have no problem sending any of you hideous creatures to the grave if they want to send more of you after me."
Panting and out of breath from flying so long and having to fight off the Erasers I headed towards the nearest city in hopes of finding a store that sells wireless laptops. I was going to get a laptop and start my own blog about everything that had happened to me at the School. If I could tell people what they were doing, I might be able to stop them. A laptop would also be useful in finding someone who had seen my brother and his friends.
Landing behind the store I brushed off the dirt from my clothes, walked into the store and began looking for electronics. Now most of you are probably wondering where I was gong to get the money for a laptop, well I was going to steal it. I know what you thinking, why don't we give someone else a reason to chase me but at this point it was necessary for me to raise awareness about what those scientists were doing so I swallowed my guilt and approached one of the sales clerks in the store.
"Hi, I need some help finding a laptop that I can use on the road," I asked sweetly, "can you help me?"
"Yes Miss, I have the perfect one. Just follow me." He walked over to a stand filled with laptops and picked one up that was small and compact.
"Here you go. It's small for traveling and has wireless internet so you can use it just about anywhere."
"Thank you so much, you were a great help." I said grabbing the laptop from his hands and making my way to the register.
"No problem," he called louder because I was quickly walking away from him so I could get out of there with my new laptop and hopefully have only a few people see me.
I was maybe five feet away from the sliding doors when the store's manager spotted me. "Hey you," he called "where are you going with that."
I slightly turned my head and saw that he was walking towards me and then sprinted for the exit. As I was running, I heard shouting behind me. The manager was defiantly not happy that I was stealing one of his thousand dollar laptops.
"Stop her! Thief!" he shouted. When I was a safe distance away and hidden by an enclosure of trees I spread my wings and took off into the air, the laptop clutched in my hands as I began flying towards the nearest forest.
I landed in a small clearing surrounded by trees close to the New Mexican border and started unpacking my new laptop. Once the internet was started up and I had programmed a tracer in it so the School couldn't track me I started my blog. In case you were wondering how I know so much about computers, I'll try to explain it. I was one of the few people gifted enough to have a photographic memory and once the scientists found out they started training me in every little thing they could think of because I could learn the tasks quickly and remember them forever. One of those many tasks was computer skills such as programming and hacking.
"I bet they never thought I would use those skills against them," I said to myself, an evil smile creeping its way onto my face. "And now to start my blog," I said happily as my fingers moved rapidly over the computer keys typing in my first entry.
When I was finished typing I was thinking about a cool way to end each of my blogs. I didn't want to just put my name after each entry; I wanted to give it a unique type of flare to it in order to make it original. After considering a few options I decided on signing them like this.
Fly on,
Ember
Okay, nothing interesting happened in this chapter however my next chapter is going to skip ahead a few months to when she finds the Flock. I did not write her first blog because it would be pretty much explaining everything that I already explained or information people know from the books. I will post some blog entries including an entry when she meets the Flock. Please review and tell me what you think. Till the next chapter.
IMPORTANT: Please submit questions that fans of Ember's blog would submit to her blog. I will use your pen name for the username of the person submitting the question.
