A/N: Hey, guys. sorry to leave you with a cliffhanger, but how else am i suposed to keep you reading? MWAHAHAHAHA! Anyways, these chapters are pretty short. i think i'll put two up today, and work on making them longer.
Fact about me: I swear in French, so people won't know if I'm cussing them out.
Friends, Family, and... Feathers? Book One: Abducted By The Flock
Chapter Six:
I fall fifty feet, screaming, until there is suddenly a piercing pain in the two scars on my back. It builds up, getting worse by the second, and I let out a bloodcurdling cry.
And unexpectedly, the pain subsides. I pry my eyes open, willing myself to see why I'm suddenly falling so much slower. Tentatively, I look up. And I see thirteen foot, solid black wings. Make that, MY thirteen foot, solid black wings.
Not believing it, I mentally urge myself to...erm...uh...flap. The wings push down and I soar up about ten feet. Flying... It feels natural. Peaceful. Easy. I propel myself up to meet Fang, Angel, Max, and Nudge.
"How could you do that? What if I wasn't 'like you'? I could have died!" I finish my rant by directing a kick at Fang's shin. Since I'm trying to FLY at the same time, I miss. He smirks.
"Fang, she sounds pretty. Is she pretty?" Iggy asks.
"Yeah, but she's not your type," Fang tells him.
Hang on a second... Is Iggy blind?
"Yes," Angel whispers softly from right behind me.
"Yes what, Sweetie?" I ask her.
"Yes, Iggy is blind."
Wow. "But how did you-" I start, but she cuts me off.
"I can read minds," she says plainly.
Huh. I have to say, even after my best friend trying to kill me, meeting my long-lost brother, and realizing I had wings, I was still totally not expecting that.
"Let's go back to the house," says Angel's brother. I wonder what his name is...
"The Gasman," Angel says. Then, seeing my confused looks, she adds, "you don't want to find out why."
A/N: Sorry it's so short! I just need to get the little beginning chapters out of the way, before it can really get exciting. I'm posting another chapter today, and then probably one or two more tomorrow or Saturday. Check out my other story, Why Us?
