Challenge Accepted!
The Clone coiled his fists.
"Bloody nose, bloody nose," Fang begged silently. Wow, drastic much?
"I cant beat an eighteen year old!" I whined.
"You picked it," The Clone shrugged.
"He's not eighteen! He's a three year old in an eighteen year old's body!" Flair cheered. Well, that didn't help at all.
"Ready?" He asked. I nodded slowly.
He hurried forward and just decided to ram into me. I was sent flying backwards. My wings unfolded, trying to catch me. It didn't work and I slammed into the cold hard ground. Great, not. He advanced again. This time I scurried to my feet. The odds weren't in my favor, so I decided to go where I was unbeatable. I took to the air. I knew that since I was smaller and tinier I could zip around like a hummingbird circling a giant vulture. Wow, I'm bad at analogies, but oh well. The Clone followed. He obviously wasn't built for speed. He was made for impact, for battle. Most males were. For some reason they mixed females with the small agile birds. My wings were long and slender. His were broad and bulky. This shouldn't be so hard. He was on my tail, not my literal tail (just to clarify). Within seconds I had contorted myself into a corkscrew heading strait at my target…him. He almost dodged, but I hit his right shoulder at the last second. He dropped altitude, but not as quick as me. I was about to crash when I twisted sideways. My beaten boots almost hit the ground, but I zipped back up, hitting him in the back. I could hear him gasp. I flew in tight circles around him. He looked dizzy, almost confused. That's when I'd get closer and kick, barely grazing the tip of his wings. He tucked in his wings and dropped like a rock. I watched in frustration as he landed and ruffled his feathers. I spent five minuets trying to figure out his next move. That's when he stroked three times, rose, and flew to the side. I thought he was crazy, that was until he was yards above me. I glanced up to see what the heck was going on. The stupid sun got in my eyes. I was soon seeing spots. I was so disoriented that the Clone had time to dive and land a punch in. I swerved to counter it, but he flew back up. This wasn't good. I was vulnerable. My only chance was to fake being dazed. I quickly covered my eyes and started rubbing them furiously. I listened intently. Then I heard what I needed. I could hear his big wings flap. Eventually they came closer. I made haste and shot up and made a huge arc back down. If my timing was right I'd air tackle Dylan 2 and send him and me face first into the ground. It worked! Only one problem-how was I going to save myself. I tried to get upright, but the idiot boy grabbed my ankle and slung me beneath him. No! I would not loose like this! I swung my feet down below me and held my wings out like parachutes. My feet hit the ground and my knees gave in from the impact. Crap! Dylan 2 landed gracefully and towered above me. I climbed back to my feet, panting. He grabbed my arm and twisted it behind my back. Why had I tucked my wings in?!
"Mercy?" He whispered.
"You forgot one thing," I grinned mischievously as I planned something in my head. He gave me the 'No-way-I-so-totally-won' look. Then I forcefully let my wings spread, whacking him in the face. With a slight grunt he let my arm go and stumbled back. I grabbed the collar of his shirt and thrust him to the ground. I put a foot on his chest and crossed my arms.
"Now, mercy?" I taunted. He coughed.
"You win," he grumbled. I jumped with joy. I was triumphant! Kale ran forward trying to find me. The moron had the lampshade on his head.
"Kale! Take that off!" I ordered. He fumbled around until he found me and decided to wrap me in a bear hug.
"I kinda like it! Then when I get a good I idea I can be like 'ding' and act like a light bulb turns on! You know, to make me look smarter!" He tried to explain.
"You look like an idiot," I wheezed as he squeezed me like I was a dog toy.
"Aww! I think you like it! I look like a…" he started.
"PARTY MONSTER!" Storm finished. Kale let go of me.
"Yah I do!" He cheered. Then they did some weird shoulder bump and guy-hand-shake thing. I face palmed myself again.
"Welcome to the Migration!" Ebony squealed as she hugged me. Flair joined in. How many times could I be hugged in a day?!
"Get off me!" I growled. They didn't heed the warning. I stood there, arms crossed, wearing a disgusted frown. That's when the Doctor decided to take a picture.
"Come on kids! Lets take a family picture!" She tried. Everyone else cheered and hurried to positions. I shook my head.
"Uh, Doctor?" I started.
"Call me Dr. M, like the others," she ordered.
"Ok…Dr. M…err…do I have to?" I asked slowly. She put her hand on her hip.
"Yes, Gwen! Get in a spot!" She almost growled. I grumbled to myself and behaved. I was the tallest girl, great right? No! I had to stand in the back with Kale, Fang, Dylan, Iggy, and Storm. How could I be taller than Max?! Stupid enhanced giant crap!
She pressed in the button and a bright flash almost blinded me! First the stupid sun, now the idiotic camera!
"Can we please eat! My insides are gurgling!" The Gasman begged.
"Cow or pig?" Iggy sighed.
"Nooooo! Now I can't eat! Don't tell me which animal it comes from! Nooo!" Nudge wailed.
"Yah, I'm with Nudge, we need to be complete vegetarians for a whole week," Ella added.
"Fine! We'll eat Kale!" Storm joked.
"I'm telling you people! Kale is a name! I didn't name myself! Jerks!" Kale screeched. Ugh!
"We aren't herbivores!" Flair disagreed.
"Well, were omnivores, meaning we can eat both," Ella went into a nerdy state.
"Oh, gosh. Just her talking about it makes me want to puke rainbows!" Kale groaned. Everyone shot him a confused look.
"Well, I figured if I said puke and then that it would mean green. Meaning I had eat veggies and I don't like…" he blabbered.
"Shut up!" Ebony snapped. Kale smiled.
"Kids! Go inside! Iggy I order you to make food," Max said.
"But Gwen broke my frying pan!" Iggy whined.
"Fine! I'll cook!" Max offered.
"Nooooo! I'll do it!" Iggy assured. Ok, good, because from what is heard Max sucks at cooking.
"I'll race yah!" Storm challenged.
"Deal!" Kale, Dylan, and Gazzy cried. Then they were off. Their feet pounded into the earth.
"Not without me!" Ebony snapped. She had caught up within seconds and passed the finish line, the porch, four yards ahead of the boys.
"How are you so fast?!" Kale panted as he laid down in the grass.
"Easy, 4% lioness helps a lot," she grinned.
"And it makes you vicious!" Storm joked as he grabbed Ebony. She screamed as he pulled her into a hug.
"You all are disgusting! PDA!" Flair wailed as she faked gagging. I really didn't want to run. I decided flying would be easier. My long, black wings stretched behind me. I soared through the clouds and landed on the roof. I have to admit, that was a stupid idea. When my right foot hit the shingles broke, sending me sliding. I fell off the roof in a clump of feathers and limbs helplessly flailing.
I rolled off the edge, right over the gutter. I thought about how all of my bones would be broken. No, no, NO! I was scared. I was an idiot. As the ground neared I shut my eyes.
But I didn't hit the ground with a thud, no, I landed in something soft and warm. I opened my eyes to see what had happened. Someone brushed the hair out of my face. I peered through my bangs to see Kale, smiling. He had caught me!
I panicked an pushed away, screaming, "Let go off me!" He dropped me. That's when the thud came. I quickly sprang to my feet and dusted myself off.
"Clumsy!" He taunted.
"I'm not clumsy! I'm just not…sure-footed," wow that was lame.
"Sure princess, and your knight in shining armor caught you as you fell from the castle," Storm teased.
"Shut up!" I growled.
"And I'm the dragon! Roar!" Dylan screamed as he shoved me.
"I can kick your butt! You remember that!" I threatened.
"Aww, don't be so harsh on them. Besides, don't you know that their brains were removed?" Flair grinned.
"What's going on?!" A voice yelled. Jim and Susan came bounding outside, the screen door was flung open in haste.
"Gwen fell off the house," Angel explained.
"Oh! I thought someone had died!" Jim breathed as he gained his breath.
"She's clumsy," Kale whispered to him. I glared at the blond. His big brown eyes shone with innocence. That's when I gave him the 'this-isn't-over' sign. He shrugged and flashed a grin.
"Gwen, we wanted to ask you something," Susan dimmed the playfulness.
"Ya, what," I crossed my arms.
"Do you know why they sold you?" She questioned.
"Oh! I do!" Kale raised his hand eagerly.
ok, so the next chapter will be CRITICALLY IMPORTANT! It sets the plot.
Thanks to all who have sent in OC's! They will appear eventually.
