Winging It

Chapter three:

Somewhere in New York

Caden POV:

After we left Massachusetts, we made our way toward the west of the U.S. stopping in a suburban town in New York. We set up camp in a forest preserve and got to know Raven and Clio a little more. They told how they both grew up in an institute in Canada, when Raven was transferred to the Institute of Higher Living in New York City. They both ended up escaping only to be captured and brought to the school in Boston. They joined forces and where trying to come up with an escape plan when we came. Raven was 14 and Clio was 10.

"Do you guys have any powers?" Lyssa asked them poking the fire we had in between us all. We were all sitting in a circle around it, Alyssa to my right and Raven to my left, Clio next to him. "Well besides you starting fires Raven" She added. Raven, we learned, has some control over fire. Nothing really major or anything, but we learned he could start small fires, like our campfire for instance. And when he started it his eyes glowed red like he had fire in them, it was both cool and creepy at the same time.

"Well Clio can see in the dark really well, probably because she's part cat, and she can also shift her muscles so she can run on all fours." Raven said. "And I can knock out people with my mind, but it really drains me." He added. Alyssa and I nodded as he told us this. I stored this information in my head for later in accessing how they could be a good advantage to us in a fight.

"Do you guys have any powers?" Clio asked us in her small voice. We nodded.

"Caden here has a crazy explosive punch, and he can fly really fast" Alyssa said pointing as me with her thumb.

"How fast can you go?" Raven asked. I shrugged.

"Around, like 200 MPH?" I said. "And Alyssa here can turn invisible, but not without making her want to pass out" I added. Alyssa rolled her eyes.

"It's only if I'm invisible for a long time" She said. We sat their awhile in an awkward silence until I decided that we should probably go to bed since we have a long day tomorrow. Everybody agreed and I took first watch.

-PAGE BREAK!-

When we all awoke in the morning everybody was hungry. We decided to go into town and stop at like a 7-eleven or something to get some food. We stocked up on donuts, chips and canned food before heading out each of us purchasing a water bottle. Wondering how we got money for food? That is a secret and something you might find out in the future. After a healthy breakfast of donuts, water and chips we head off into the sky. Raven was carrying Clio this time. It was a good thing she was so small or else we would have trouble with transportation. We passed over New York City debating whether or not we should stop there. We decided to keep flying until we either got tired or found an interesting place that was worth our time.

DEATH VALLEY, CALIFORNIA

Alice POV:

Klause was really getting on my nerves. I wanted to strangle the dude. He wouldn't shut up and was unusually cheerful at the fact that we were stuck at the school. And another thing; he was an idiot. A cocky arrogant handsome idiot, but an idiot nonetheless. I mean who comes to high tech science lab expecting to barge in and take some experiments with him, without a reasonable plan? Klause does apparently.

At the moment he was lounging on my bunk bed shirtless, his bright red wings spread out behind him, flirting with Mimi. Why he had to be on my bed, I didn't know. The guy also couldn't keep a shirt on the save his life, I really didn't get him. As he tried to sweet talk Mimi she just stood there, arms crossed and smirking humoring him. It was quite funny actually. Mimi had the ability to see someone's past and from the looks of the smirk on her face, she has seen his. I made a note to ask her about that later.

Alex was lying on the floor staring up at the ceiling. I looked over at her amused.

"Find anything interesting Al?" I asked her. She looked up at me and nodded eagerly.

"Yup! If you look closely enough, a picture of an angry cat dying shows up, and then an angry hobo murdering a cactus appears too!" She said somewhat excited. I laughed.

"You've spent too long in this place my dear." I said laughing at Alex.

"Well I don't see you coming up with an amazing escape plan anytime soon, so I might as well find something to entertain myself in the meantime." She said frowning. I

"Well it's not exactly easy getting out of this place unless you're a whitecoat or a terminator" I snapped at her.

"Guys calm down" Mimi said before Alex could come up with something else to say. "Alex don't blame Ace for not coming up with something you haven't come up with either, and Alice don't knock on Alex's fun" She said frowning at the both of us.

"Sorry Ace" Alex said at the same time I said "Sorry Alex"

"Well that was entertaining" Klause said highly amused. I glared at the red head.

"Can you just shut up for once? Huh?" I asked snapping at him. He just grinned that cocky grin of his.

"Well I could, but what fun would that be, not being able to rile you up? Your reactions are so cute" He said laughing. I stepped close to him giving him my best death glare.

"I swear say one more thing and I'll-"I was cut off when our cell door was opened. Standing there was a whitecoat who looked really young. She had blonde hair tied in a ponytail at the nape of her neck. She wore glasses with a chain over her green eyes and was wearing a white lab coat with black dress pants underneath. She looked to be in her early twenties, which was strange because we usually had old people working here. She held a clipboard in her hand and opened up her mouth to speak when she looked up and froze. I followed her gaze and saw that she was staring a Klause. The whitecoat looked like a love-struck puppy and couldn't tear her eyes from him. Klause, noticing how the doctor was practically eye raping him, used this to his advantage. He went over to the young whitecoat and started flirting with her. I looked at him with my mouth slightly agar.

"My, your pretty young to be an evil scientist aren't you? " Klause asked her leaning almost casually against the door frame, but still seemed to be on guard. The whitecoat smiled almost shyly at Klause. Wow, you've got to be kidding me.

"Well, I'm only twenty-three, that's not that young." She said pushing her glasses up the bridge of her nose.

"Yes, well you're a very attractive twenty-three year old" Klause said giving her a seductive smirk. She blushed. Klause leaned closer to her and her eyes widened as he did.

"What was this kid doing?" I mumbled to myself.

"You know what would be great?" He asked her looking into her eyes. She visibly swallowed.

"What?" She asked kind of breathless. I almost laughed out loud. Almost.

"If you got us out of here" he told her giving his prize winning grin. My eyes almost bugged out of my head. So that's what he's doing, seducing the whitecoat to let us out. Smart. I winced; did I really just think that? Maybe he's not as much of an idiot as I thought. The whitecoat surprisingly nodded eagerly.

"I would love to" She said. I snorted; she probably thought she was going to get some. Klause grabbed his shirt and motioned to the rest of us. Alex and Mimi were in as much shock as I was. We followed the whitecoat until she led us to an exit.

"You can exit through here and no one will see you" She said still in a daze. Huh, I wonder what Klause did to her; maybe he has some power to make people do what he wants. Or the power of seduction I thought wryly. We all exited the building in case she came back into her senses.

"Thanks a bunch babe" Klause said winking at the whitecoat before flinging himself in the air with us.

"I am such a genius" He said cockily as we flew away. I just laughed and enjoyed my freedom.

SOMEWHERE IN THE U.S.

CASH POV: (remember him? He was in the first chapter)

Cash waited about an hour for Klause to come back, then another, and another, until Cash knew for sure he wasn't coming out of that God forsaken building. At the moment he was flying around somewhere in the western part of the U.S not really sure where to go. He had some money left but he needed it to last so he decided against buying food even though he was starving. He had no idea where he was or where he was going.

His light brown wings pushed powerfully in the air as he flew around, his white and blue hair being pushed back by the wind. He knew he needed to land soon and find shelter, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it. He's been on his own for two, going on three days and he already missed Klause's presence. Cash frowned at himself, silently hoping that the older boy was okay and would make it out of the school un-harmed.

Cash was now in the state of Arizona and decided to land in a little forest in a small town. He made a small camp, deciding against making a fire and settled in a nice tree. He decided that tomorrow he would head east, going towards Missouri. Being content with the thought that he had a goal to reach let him drift of the sleep peacefully.

COLORADO MOUNTAINS

Aero POV:

It had been decided and we were leaving our little cabin in the Colorado Mountains, and we were taking Skyler and Radon with us. But there was a slight problem; Skyler was missing. When I walked into the small living room all I saw was Radon curled up on the couch and no Skyler. She might have been in the bathroom but when I headed over to the small bathroom the cabin had it was empty. I walked into the kitchen and saw Joey and Jane eating cereal.

"Have any of you seen Skyler?" I asked them kind of frantic. Jane shook her head and Joey shrugged.

"No why?" He asked.

"I can't find her anywhere!" I told him.

"Did you ask Radon?" Jane asked putting a spoonful of fruit loops in her mouth.

"Good idea" I said and ran off to wear Radon was curled up on the couch. I shook his shoulder attempting to wake him up. He woke up and looked at me confused.

"Do you know where Skyler is?" I asked him. I eight year old stood up and looked around the room before shaking his head. "Do you know where she could be?" I tried again.

"Bathroom?" He asked. I shook my head.

"I already checked" I told him "She's not here."

"Maybe she left" he said

"Do you have any idea at all where she could be?" I asked him kind of worried. What if she was kidnapped or she actually worked for the school and was sent to spy on us…? I looked at Radon.

"How did you meet Skyler?" I asked him.

"She found me in the woods alone and gave me food, I stuck with her since then" he told me. So she could be a spy. I slowly backed out of the room.

"Radon get ready we're leaving today" I told him then proceeded to exit the room. "Joey!" I called.

"I'm in the kitchen!" He called back, I ran into their and looked at him.

"We need to leave." I told him "Now." He nodded and I looked at Jane, "go find Shanay-nay and tell her to get the backpacks" She nodded and I went to the room where we've been sleeping gathering the stuff we took out of our bags and stuffed them back in. Less than ten minutes later we were all outside of the cabin ready to go. I looked over a Radon.

"Can you fly?" I asked him. He nodded and extended his grey and white speckled wings.

"Ok everyone lets go, Joey your carrying Jane" I told him and we took off.

"Where are we going?" Shanay-nay asked after we have been flying for a while.

"I don't know, where do you guys want to go?" I asked them.

"Let's go to Disneyland" Radon said. I nodded, Florida was a good destination.

"Ok." I said agreeing "Disneyland it is." Radon gave me a smile and I smiled back at him. He was a cute kid. All of a sudden he started to have a coughing fit. Like gut wrenching coughs. He started losing altitude fast and I dove down to catch him.

"Land!" I shouted to the rest of my flock. I held Radon as I landed his coughing not letting up. He began to keel over on the ground and blood seemed to be coming up as he coughed. I looked at him with wide eyes not knowing what to do. The rest of my flock crowded around me.

"What's happening?" Jane asked.

"I don't know…" I said my voice coming out barely in a whisper "I think….I think he's dying."

So the last part was suspenseful huh? Do you think Radon is going to die? How bout Skyler? What do you think happened to her?

Also I had writers block with this chapter if you didn't notice in the begining. Annd guess what! Instead of like half a year later to post the next chapter, it took me a week! =D So yea..

R&R If you do you'll get a cookie and a new chapter, if you don't review i might now post again...

So after that happy note I should be posting every week until school comes then i'm not so sure... we'll see how much gets written this month.

So until next time!
