Nudge the Quileute15
The Meetings in Washington D.C. with the government, seeing the Pentagon, and me, Iggy, Fang, and Angel getting some new skills
Nudge's POV
I really didn't want to go to Washington D.C. It didn't sound like a lotta fun. Mostly it sounded like we would be in small contained areas and have to listen to grown-ups discuss our futures. That wasn't going to be fun, but with Iggy, Gazzy, and Ed around, something exciting will happen, like always. Of course, we never know what to expect with those two. I definitely did not want to go to these meetings and I'm sure Max would agree with me, but I didn't ask her, though, now I wish I did.
On the way to Washington D.C., I asked for a Jolt and when I reached for it, it flew into my hand and when Max reached for it, it stayed put. Then Jeb came in and told us that we were all starting to mutate on our own, which sounded kind of exciting, but also really scary too.
We all watched a video on the past six months or so, of our lives, and then the government people said that they could offer us some protection and a school where we could be studied, and we could still learn. Of course we turned them down and then we ordered some pizzas. Then Gazzy pushed a cup toward Jeb for a refill on lemonade and Iggy said, "No, the blue cup's mine." Gazzy gave it back to him and then we all froze, because no one had thought to mention cup colors. Then Max asked Iggy which blue cup and Iggy found that he could feel colors. I asked him, "What color am I?" "You're sort of a chocolate-milk-slash-coffee-slash-russet-color—a very beautiful color." Now, Iggy could feel colors and I could attract metal. Then Max's pizza was actually a bomb and I dove into the hallway, screaming, "Iggy, hide!" Then I said, "I'm okay if Ig's okay." Iggy emerged from under a pile of dust and said that he was okay. We left and then met up at motel not too far away.
We all went to the other meeting, even though most of us, including Max, didn't want to go. I was so tired of listening to the grown-ups try to decide our future with asking us, but then Max pointed out that the seven of us had more life experience than anyone else in the room. I was really glad when Max pointed that out and then stood up and left the room. We jumped out a window at the end of the hallway that was open in another conference room that wasn't being used and flew away.
Then Gazzy and Iggy flew toward the Pentagon and Gazzy dive-bombed toward it, but then rejoined us. We were chased by some jets, but by flying fast, weaving in and out of the trees, spinning really fast, and leading them away from our actual destination.
Then we camped out in a state park, again. When we were there, Fang developed the ability to blend into any dark background, which was kinda freaky and then, the very next day, Angel could change her appearance. She almost looked like me, when she first changed her appearance. She had smooth, tan, skin, dark brown eyes, and much straighter brown hair. I looked at her and said, "You almost look like me." Angel frowned and said, "I do?" I nodded and asked, "Can you do another one?" Angel nodded and then turned into a bird of paradise. Then Iggy started grumbling that we were all going to turn into tadpoles by the end of the week, but then Max pointed out that just like everyone else, we were changing in ways that the whitecoats didn't expect and we didn't know what would happen next, just like everyone else in the world, except for the Cullens, who would never change.
