Chapter 7
Bright POV
"I am an awesome leader! How dare they not put me in charge!" Ian complained for the third time.
"Ian! Shut up! No one cares about what you think! You're not in charge Leo is. Plus he's the oldest here" I yelled at him getting irritated.
"Fine" He grumbled sitting down dragging his fingers in the dirt. I smirked and continued braiding Talia's hair. I had dyed it light brown. She looked different as to the usual dark black hair. Most of us had black hair. Except me and the twins. I had Bright Blonde hair, or well did. My hair was now Dark Black matching the twin's hair. I had just finished dying Zack's hair it was now, despite Shadow's arguing, Red. His hair had to match his moms, if they were gonna pass off as her kid. We had a plan to pass off as a family. So I had made Silent and Shadow look like adults. We were gonna head to New York and hopefully get a hotel room. I'm getting tired of a cave floor for a bed.
"Me too Bright" Zack said from across the cave. I stopped braiding and looked over at him confused. In fact everyone had stopped to look at him.
"What do you mean? I never said anything" I said confused. I hadn't said anything. So why had he said that? He frowned.
"You said you were tired of sleeping on cave floors"
"I didn't say it...I Thought it" His face lit up and everyone else groaned. Another mind reader? Really. Shadow and Silent were already mind readers. So we never got away with anything! Now another mind reader? You've got to be joking.
"I can read minds!" He said excitedly, "Leo! Think of a number!"
"I don't like this game..." He mumbled. "Alright I got a number.
"Seventy five and two fifth!" Leo Laughed.
"Yes! That is correct! Ding Ding Ding! We have another mind reader here!" Leo cheered clapping his hands.
"Yeah like that proves anything! Leo always thinks of that number!" Ian declared from where he was in the back of the cave mumbling. I rolled my eyes.
"Not always! I think of Bacon to duh!" We all laughed loudly.
Then everything got quiet as we heard a howl in the distance. Everyone froze. Erasers? IF it was regular wolves we could handle them. But if they sent as many erasers as last time, we won't be able to win. At least not without Shadow and Silent. They fight till there completely unable to stand. Last time they fought like that was 6 years ago when we were taken. That fight was a bloody fight that ended badly.
The Howl came again this time louder. We got to our feet. Ian, Leo, and I moving towards the front of the cave. We knew if it was erasers we were to protect Zack and Talia at all cost. As well as each other. I cracked my knuckles looking out on the horizon. I could see them now. 100 erasers. More or Less. Both way there were a lot of them, and our leaders were no where to be found. Had they already been caught? No. They were to strong.
"Alright! Everyone to the air! We got to fight this out!" Leo Yelled snapping his wings out and taking off, Ian not far behind. I had sure Zack and Talia were air born before I took off. It wasn't long before we were in tight hand to hand combat.
I charged at an eraser swinging my feet out slamming them into his chest. He dropped a few feet but came surging back up on the attack. I barrel rolled over him snapping my arm around his neck. I grabbed my wrist with my other hand and pulled it suffocating the eraser.
"Bright! Look out!" Leo yelled as another dropped down from about yanking me off the other. His hairy hand gripping my wings tightly ready to rip them off.
"Where's your leader huh? They ditch you in the wood" He snarled in my ear as I struggled.
Suddenly he was gone. I looked back to see Ian beating him. He waved me off to go help the others and I nodded diving for Zack who was dealing with 2 erasers on his own. I dived down on one my foot nailing him in the neck. A Terrible cracking noise rang out threw the air as his neck snapped. He dropped and crashed into the ground. I looked down at my side. His claws had swiped me across my side. It was a large cut. But I wasn't worried about it right now. I took out the other eraser the same way. Zack smiled at me, his lip was split and he had a black eye. I gave a slight nod and took off to help Talia who was being tossed around like a rag doll. I rammed an eraser who dropped Talia. She dropped down then flew straight up to give me a hand.
After 45 minutes I heard a bellowing scream that made the entire Flock freeze. But only for a second. I got rid of my eraser and turned to see them shoving Zack in a bur lap sack. Everyone tried to rush over and help, but we were grabbed as well.
"Get them in the Helicopter" The eraser holding Ian snarled. "Were headed home" I gulped as they carried us to a helicopter, each of us struggling. Talia was moving frantically screaming and yelling. Eventually the eraser that had her dropped her.
"Run! Go find Shadow and Silent! Go!" I screamed loudly at her. She gave a brave face and swiftly nodded before going into full drive and blast off towards where they had last been seen.
"Idiot! That makes three were leaving with out!" The eraser holding me snarled. "Let's go" The duct taped our hand and ankles and shoved us in a helicopter. We were headed for the worse place in the world... The school.
