Friends, Family, and... Feathers? Book One: Abducted by the Flock
Chapter Fourteen
The next morning, I'm the last one awake. Rubbing the sleep out of my eyes, I groggily make my way downstairs, not bothering to get dressed first. As I reach the bottom of the stairs, I feel a sudden, sharp pain on the side of my head.
"Ouch!" I squeal, rubbing the left side of my head. That really hurt...
I step into the living room, still rubbing my head. Gazzy is the first one to notice.
"What happened to you?" he asks.
"I dunno. It feels like someone hit me in the head..." I trail off. Then, I notice Fang rubbing the exact same spot on his head. "What happened to you?" I ask him.
"Max hit me," he says plainly.
"Really? Right here?" I ask, pointing to the spot where my head was hurting. He nods mutely. "Someone hit Fang again," I say. Iggy pounces on the opportunity.
"I'll do it!" he says excitedly, running over to Fang. He punches him, with perfect aim I might add, on the arm. I feel a sharp pain on my right arm, where Iggy hit Fang.
"I... I think I can feel that. Kick him, just to be sure. But not so hard this time."
This time, Nudge does the honors of kicking Fang in the shin. I feel a dull pain in my leg and say, "Definitely."
"Does it work for the rest of us too?" Angel asks. Gazzy pinches Nudge on the arm.
"Ouch!" we shriek at the same time.
Nudge stomps on his foot, most likely for revenge, and I feel it as though an 80 pound bird-kid were stomping on me. Gazzy whirls around and pinches his sister, and as suspected I feel her pain. Angel runs into the kitchen to get Max, who follows her in holding a bowl of cereal.
"Max, watch this!" she says, kicking Max lightly on the leg.
I wince ever-so-slightly as Max says, "Why'd you do that?" in a menacing tone. I can tell she's not really a morning person.
"Cali can feel it!" Angel says excitedly as Fang punches Iggy on the arm. I throw a glare his way as I nod at Max.
"Looks like you do have an extra power!" Gazzy says excitedly. I grin at him and nod.
A/N: hi everyone! Sorry this chapter is so short! Next one will be Cali's birthday party, and then the action will start. Look for an update Wednesday or Thursday and at the veeeeeery latest Thursday. Please review, even if it's just a smiley face. Or even "this isn't your best work". Flames are welcome too, because I can just roast marshmallows over them. Till next time!
