A.N. Sadly it's only me, Mem, right now. Iggy is tied up in the closet for almost blowing up my violin and Ginger's at her house with her phone dead. Meh. Read on. I wrote this chapter, which was then slightly edited by Ginger.

Do I look like James Patterson? Didn't think so.

Iggy POV

"Guys! Fish and I are going to Walmart to look for tents!"

"OK!"

"Ah!", i say

"Iggy! Are you ok?"

"My sight, it's gone! Ginger's only a mile away! Maybe she can help!"

'Iggy, maybe you need to be within a mile of ginger to see!", Angel suggests.

"Maybe, Angel...", was my sullen reply.

Mem POV

Oh, you don't know who I am. The name's Memory Rise. Why such a weird name? Well, I chose Rise, yes chose, because I have wings and can fly. Memory is because of some of my powers. I'm a 6 foot, black loving, mutant bird kid. My hair is freaky too. It has NATURAL blue highlights because of some syringe the injected me with when they caught us after we escaped. We had gotten free makeovers to try to disguise ourselves, and lucky me, got blue highlights 'cause of my damn designer. My wings are not even normal for mutant bird kid. The freak of a white coat that made me decided to be ALL fancy shmancy and give me some spliced DNA. I am now 98% human, 1% raven, and 1% GENETICALLY ENHANCED PEACOCK. So now I have raven shaped wings that look like oil in the road, but only when I'm flying. When I'm not, and they're just hanging out from my back, they look black. Now, I know what you're saying. Doesn't that make you 1% male? No, it does not. When I say genetically enhanced peacock, I mean a female peacock changed to have the male feather design. WHY GO THROUGH THE DAMN TROUBLE OF MAKING MY WINGS SO FRICKEN' COMPLICATED WHEN YOU TRY TO KILL ME? I can make things appear out of thin air, the smaller the better, but it gives me terrible headaches. I can also erase, replace, and return someone's memory/memories. And that is where I get my name from. I fly super fast and can go through things. Like, if I need to get away with ginger I can grab her hand and pull her through a wall with me, or if it's thick enough, walk IN the wall. I can look into a person's heart to see their true intentions behind something. It's really handy.

I'm almost back to my flock now with some exciting, but slightly disturbing news, when I notice something missing.

"Ginger? Fish? Where the hell is our tent?" (Tent is gone, due to the erasers, but I don't know THAT, yet.)

Then I heard murmurs. Turning around, I take in six kids, mumbling to each other.

"Who are you?" I ask.

They seem hesitant, so I take that as a bad thing. The tall blonde girl steps forward and I crouch into a fighting stance. There's something missing here. At the next trace of movement, I lunge. She dodges it somehow. I try to get her in the back, but she's one step ahead of me. She gets me on the ground, hovering over me.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" she says, holding me down with one hand, the other threatening to hit me in the face.

"I'll be the one asking the questions here, blondie." I say, rolling over so that I am now the one on top. "What did you do with my tent? And my friends?" I demand.

She just shoves me off and flips out her wings, signaling for the other kids to do the same. They do, but they still stay on the ground when she takes off. I follow her in the air, not so sure she's the enemy anymore. Still, I hate her guts and everything else about her.

It became an aerial battle; me using my speed to stay alive but that blonde girl seems just as fast. I could use Fish's flying tricks right about now!
Someone comes behind me while my focus is on blondie. They try to grab me.

"Wrong move, sweetheart", I say when I see an African-American girl behind me.

I twist my arms, yanking free, then grab her hands like some twisted dance move. I swing my arms around, causing her to stop flying, then swoop my arms down, flinging her towards the ground. Harsh, I know, but no one hurts my friends. Blondie flies down to catch her.

I hear movement then turn to find a fighting duo. I wonder why they're partners, when I notice the older, strawberry blonde guy is staring slightly to my left. He's blind! I can't fight him. So instead I go for the smaller of the two. Short stuff is caught off guard and I press some of his pressure points to paralyze his arms and leg. The blind guy lunges and I easily dodge and he goes tumbling off.

Suddenly, I notice THE most adorable little girl standing on the ground, the perfect little angel with her white wings hanging out, staring at me.

I feel something messing with my mind so I dive bomb for the ground, hoping the sudden movement will catch who or what ever is poking through my head off guard.

I fly higher up, but my enemies follow, including the little girl.

The one dressed in all black with obsidian eyes tries to grab me but he ends up flying over the tall girl into the ground.

I'm getting a bit weary. 1 on 6 can do that to a person, ya know?

Someone else is coming up from behind me, so I do what's natural. I kicked. I heard a groan and turned around to see I had almost kicked Obsidian Eyes in the crotch.

Hehe... I have bad aim...

Most of the battle is a blur of adrenaline, kicks, and punches but by the end, everyone is starting to get worn out and attacks are easier to dodge.

I have sweetheart by the collar and I'm in mid-punch on someone else

Ginger's going to kill me if I make it out of this alive.

I'm too tired to keep my mind block up so I let it down and instantly someone starts probing my head.

"STOP!" the little girl yells. We all look at her expectantly. "Guys! This is Mem!" she says, then turns to me. "Sorry about this whole thing, we thought you were a spy or something. Ginger and Fish let us stay here for a while. You're tent was kinda… sorta destroyed by these wolf-human hybrids who have been out to kill us ever since we escaped the school."

Blondie drops lower to the ground, still ready to grab me invade I plan on attacking, as close my eyes, focusing on the little girl. I invade her mind and looked through her memories.

"You're not lying..." I say, opening my eyes.

"Hey guys we're- WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE?" Ginger yells from behind me, noticing their battle scars. Trust me, there are a lot on them. I went on to auto pilot so I'm just a whirlwind of attacks, what can I say? I don't have as many because of the special "upgrades" I got at the Institute, such as super fast healing, even faster than them I guess.

"Hey, Ginge... Hehe, funny story..." I begin, when Fish appears next to her.

"Ginger, what's going-MEM! You're home!"

Suddenly Fish has me in a bear hug and I tense up.

"Fish?" I say, deathly quiet.

"Yes?" He has the most adorable goofy grin on his face... wait…I didn't say that. There is no way what so ever to prove otherwise. See, this is why I don't talk.

"GET OFF ME!" I shriek.

His face pales as realization hits him and he starts to zoom through apologies, hugging me tighter, while my glare intensifies. He suddenly realizes he's still hugging me, takes one good look at my face, and runs away screaming his head off while Ginge is teasing us both saying he screams like a girl (it was rather high-pitched) and repeating over and over "Mem hates hugs... And showing emotion!"

"Sounds like Fang! OMG! Like, they should totally be together, 'cause, like, they're exactly the same. No offense, Max. I still think you and Fangles over there are MADE for each other. Kind of like how cake is made for birthdays, and OMG! Can we have red velvet cake at my next birthday? 'Cause red velvet is so yummy! Like Dr. M's cookies! Yum! Ooh! Do you think since both Iggy and Fish can cook amazingly they could make cookies as good as Dr. M's? OMG! They're, like, uber amazing cooks- I want to learn how to cook and hksigakgakhakjjl..." says the African-American girl.

I stand there, gaping in awe, as blondie puts her hand over her mouth. I should really learn their names…

"Is she always like this?" I ask, still amazed at her talking speed.

I didn't even know it was physically possible to say fifty words in eight seconds, considering my word count hardly ever exceeds 75 a day.

After we're all settled down around the campfire and Ginger's introduced us, I glance at Fang and wonder why he seems so familiar.

"Mem, I haven't forgotten about the tent yet, fix it when you can", Ginger says

'Crap, I'm too tired tonight. Argh! I mess up everything! I nearly killed everyone. Now Ginger is definitely gonna try to kill me!', I think, biting my lower lip.

Angel giggles. "Well, she might not kill you, just try to send you to the hospital." She says.

"Oh great she's a mind reader." I say, rolling my eyes.

Angel giggles even more.

"So is everyone all right?" asks Ginger.

"We could be better..." Max replies. She's the one I fought with earlier. I pick her out as the flock's leader.

"Sorry everyone..." I say, only allowing a slight blush to come forth to show them how sorry I am

"Its fine, we've had worse." Fang says. God, he looks so familiar! Where have I seen him?

A.N. Hey. So you got an inside look at Mem. She's kind of a mess inside, isn't she? Well, it's tough to keep the strong, no weakness, emotionless wall act up all the time, so if it's just on the outside it's easier. I love you guys for your reviews. Spread my story around my minions! Haha, JK. Still, SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT MY STORY AROUND!

Fly on!
