Words can't describe how I felt when I finally came out of the clouds, just to see Iggy's face. Total ran up to see me; I hadn't seen him for a while, since he had trotted into the forest right after I took off. I did a fancy loop-de-loop before landing on the soft grass.
"What's got you so excited?" he asked. I stroked his black coat, saying nothing. I still couldn't talk. I had shut out that memory before landing. Iggy didn't want anybody to know about our make-out session. I smelled the aroma wafting in the air, eggs. I started to collect up long strips of grass. I had taught myself how to weave. I wove them into mats for us.
"How was everyone's day?" Nudge said. I knew she just liked hearing herself talk.
"You were there Nudge," said Gazzy. I smiled.
"How about we all go for a little flight," Max suggested. I snapped my wings out, as did the others. We all took flight, reaching a height where we could chat comfortably.
"Now, what happened? Why can't Verity talk?" asked Gazzy. I shook my head. Max answered for me.
"We don't know. I think something messed up her voice when she got attacked by those flyboys," I felt Angel in my thoughts again.
Angel, can you tell the others I have a new skill?
Sure Verity. What is it?
I can feel other people's emotions, just by touching them. She nodded and said that.
"Really?" said Total. I had just noticed that Fang was carrying him. I grinned and nodded. I attempted to speak again and I actually succeeded!
"Yeah, I can. I just need to touch you," Gazzy flew closer to me.
"Prove it," I laughed and touched him.
"Proud, yet clueless," His eyes widened and he looked pale. I think he was embarrassed now.
"C'mon guys, it's getting dark. Why don't we head back to the cave?" Max said. I agreed and put my wings against my back. The others followed.
So, here's chapter 8. I know all the chapters are short, but I explain a ton, I think. Well, CU, Marie. PS REVIEWWW!
