Riley Caster: Shapeshifting Warrior

by X.Anime.Glambert.Music.Alien.X

Riley Caster has never lived a normal life and now her and her "family" are being hunted by mad scientists who want to kill them. When she later finds out that the reason they are being hunter might lead back to a childhood friend who is a lot like her, Riley doesn't know what to think. Will they die or survive? (FYI: Maximum Ride and the flock don't come in until around chapter 9)

Chapter 7

I am a horrible, horrible person. I am such a jerk! I couldn't believe I had just said what I said to Carter. I was expected a punch to the gut or a kick to the shin, but no. I hate myself! I grabbed my necklace and pulled it off my neck. I threw it at Carter's feet and fell to the ground. I felt Carter looking down at me, then he grabbed my arms and pulled me up to my feet. "Riley," he began. "I'm not mad at you!" I looked up.

"What?!" I asked. "No... I mean... I'm sorry." Carter gently pulled me into a hug. Okay, this was getting too mushy. Then, Carter did something that freaked me out:

He tried to kiss me!

I pushed Carter away and glared at him. "What the hell man?!" I screamed.

"Riley, look I really like you," Carter said. "And I..." I slapped him across his sad little face.

"What?! No you can't love me! I love Elliot! And for all any of us know right now Elliot could be dying or even dead already! We need to follow that ambulance and make sure that Elliot is okay. It's his life on the line!" I yelled.
