Sorry for the super late update. You guys have to right to totally hate me D: I loved all the positive feedback from the last chapter n_n
"Yeah." Total said, totally ruining the moment. Suddenly, the nonexistent violins halted and the pink bubbles surrounding the Flock disappeared. (haha, I'm kidding. I haven't completely lost my mind yet) My eyes scanned over every flock member, and to my relief, they looked well fed. Or as well fed as we can ever be. Right now, with their lightly breathing bodies and glowing eyes, they seemed as alert and alive as ever.
"What are you doing?" Gazzy asked, his baby blue eyes wide and interested. "Would you need any explosives?"
Angel smiled somewhat smugly and glanced at me. Her smug expression quickly disappeared when she realized that she didn't know everything going on inside my head. Her sky blue eyes found mine and a question formed on her lips.
I quickly let go of Fang and hugged Angel, my baby girl, to me. "I have a temporary mind block." I explained before she could ask. "The vampyres at the academy can read minds."
"Ohmygoodness!" Nudge shrieked. Vaguely, I wondered why she hadn't said anything yet. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Iggy wiping what looked like a bite mark on the palm of his hand. Rolling my eyes, I opened my arms wider to let Nudge into our mushy hug fest. "What's the school like? I saw some of them when you were going and they're gorgeous! Did you see Zoey's outfit? It's like, so fall chic…although she could use a plum colored scar and some copper earrings." Nudge kept babbling, and I already tuned her out.
"Hey Igs," I called out. Iggy turned towards me and his milky blue eyes focused on my right cheek. "Sorry about having to hold Nudge back." I said with a wink he couldn't see. "Make sure her teeth didn't break your skin."
Iggy flushed red and probed his fingers over his palm. "Nah, she didn't break any skin. Do you think I'd have to get a rabies shot if she did?" I laughed lightly, to the surprise of the Flock and myself.
I just…missed them. Even though it hadn't even been a day, giving up the position as flock leader had a sense of closure to it.
Speaking of which…Zoey and that Bitch Queen.
I hopped up silently and gestured for the flock to follow. "I'm jut following my roommate." I slipped in, before any of them could ask. "She's got something that she wants to keep a secret from me and I wanna know what it is."
Not true. She had told me everything, but I was just curious and bored.
Fang rolled his eyes and followed me slowly, until he did that stupid camouflage trick. The rest of the Flock followed my lovely example, and it was comforting to hear their heartbeats drum in my ears at the silent moments. This stalking was more like a game than serious business. First of all, our targets had no clue they were being followed, and no senses to figure it out. Second of all, we weren't currently risking our lives. Third of all, we weren't isolated in a stupid submarine.
Total started whining halfway through and Nudge was rocking on her heels from staying silent for so long. I couldn't help but smile from their efforts and gave them a quick thumbs up. Nudge's face lit up like the sun and her bouncing decreased a little in tempo.
Our targets a had a predictable pattern, and we found ourselves going ahead of them and waiting for them to catch up. Right as Aprhodite and Zoey passed over the bushes the flock was crouched behind, Gazzy's eyes widened and he muttered a quiet "oops."
Before I could ask him what was wrong, my nose died and was trying to claw it's way out of this life. Zoey and Aphrodite stared at the green mushroom cloud that had formed around a choking Flock and their eyes landed on me. One pair of eyes was confused and the other was livid. Both of them were covering their noses.
I waved sheepishly as I held my breath, waiting for the awful scent to dissipate. "So…." I said, my voice even. "Fancy meeting you here."
Thanks for reading! Review please? (Ugh, I'm super sick right now...and I still have to go to school tomorrow...)
