Hey, thank y'all for reviewing! I swear, I never had this much reviews for a story before. You guys are awesome! I'm aiming to update a chapter everyday except not over Easter break, because my friends coming and I'm spending time with her! Anyways, I hope you enjoy!
Nudge chattered the whole way, her voice high and squeaky. She was saying something about how her mother wouldn't let her buy the latest fashion and blah blah blah. I wasn't listening. All I could think about was that I couldn't fail. Charles would probably force me to sleep on the street again with only a blanket for comfort. I didn't even know if that was legal or not. I bet it wasn't, but the police hadn't called him out for it yet.
I breathed a sigh of relief when we finally reached the back of the school. There were no classrooms or teachers here. It was just lockers, stretching out as far as the eye could see. It was the perfect place to assassinate anyone. Plus, there was a back door I could escape through that led to my first period class, so bonus!
Nudge stopped talking and turned back to me. "This is the place. Now what did you lose? I'm going to be late for class, you know. The English teacher is sooo..."
I clapped a hand over her mouth and pulled out my shotgun from my pocket. Her eyes widened in fear and she turned to run. I grabbed her arm and yanked her back to me with the other hand still covering her mouth. She tried to bite me but I quickly hit her on the side of the head hard so that it would just knock her out and not do any real damage. Her eyes rolled back into her head and she went limp. I almost cried out with triumph but barely smothered it. This wasn't over yet. I still had to shoot her.
I aimed the shotgun at her head and put my hand on the trigger, but something caught my eye. I turned her over and gasped as I reached out and gently pulled something out from her back. They were two tawny...wings.
