*peeks out behind Dark* Hi readers! *quickly ducks behind Dark to avoid being hit by various flying objects* I know, I know it's taking me forever to update this, but I already explained on my page that my computer usage was limited sorry *puts on apologetic smile* On with the next chapter!
I stepped back from Jeb letting go of the collar of his shirt as I did. "Ok I want to know what the heck happening here." Max said, I turned to see an irritated look on her features. `Da da da I'm most likely dead.` I thought "Um, surprise?" I replied smiling.
"Ok start talking dragon." Max said giving me a flat stare, "Ok fine I guess you guys deserve an explanation."
I glared, getting my bearings back and reminding myself that I was the predator here. I really had to stop acting like prey, maybe it was because Max was only part bird, and her human part was defiantly predator like.
So I explained everything that happened, from the tests, to the hope of escape. I told them about Jeb freeing us and then betraying us and dragging Tum and I back to the school while Red somehow managed escape. Lastly I told them about my recent escape, through clenched teeth as I thought of Tum alone in the school with those Jackets.
"Ok birdkids now it's your turn." I said after finishing my story, "I don't give out my life story without getting something in return, now spill."
I stated crossing my arms and giving them a look that I wouldn't let the subject drop until they told me their story. Max gave me a dead-planned look as if she seriously doubted my sanity. I in return gave her my best glare, eyes narrowed as if contemplating her value to me alive. Of course I had an awesome glare, if I do say so myself, that had made weaker men, and women, falter. She didn't waver and somewhere in my mind she gained a respect point.
"You really shouldn't trust people so readily." Max said referring to my telling of my life-story.
"You really shouldn't underestimate my deviousness. For all you know that story was a really thought out lie, and even if I had told the truth, you should consider my motivations behind it." I shot back smirking slightly.
"Still I'm not just going to plain out tell you my life story just because you told me yours." Max countered.
I shrugged, "I already know the basics of your life from Jeb's comment. Your life is basically a mirror image to mine. Sure yours probably has different details but the outlines are the same." I shot back. Max stayed silent `Dragon: 1 Birdkid: 0` I thought laughing mentally enjoying my little game.
"I need to think." I said randomly blinking before I start to pace my long tail flicking back and forth as I do. `So I know the corridors of the school, I know where they'll probably be keeping Tum. Now how would I go about breaking into the school? Dang-it! Curses to the great dragon above, how in the world am I supposed to figure this out? The only things I looked for during my years at the school was a way to get out not back in.` During my though process I let out a long-winded hiss baring my teeth slightly in frustration.
"Jeb!" I growled turning to face the stoic-looking male, "Tell me how to break into the school." I commanded eyes narrow slits. "If you don't I swear to the great dragon above I'm going to rip you apart piece by piece slowly, and leave you for crow-food." I hissed toning my threat down slightly since there were younger observants in hearing-range.
Little did I know what the ahem `innocent` looking younger ones, could actually do in a fight.
Gah sorry for ending the chapter here, but I didn't want to wait any longer to post a chapter on this. Also sorry for the long wait for such an unworthy piece of fox-dung short chapter.
Ok since I really need ideas for this, and I know people are reading this from the favs and alerts. I won't start typing the next chapter until I get at least 3 or 4 reviews With at least an idea or two? Ok please?
