I'll Say Hi Later
Gwen's P.O.V.
Alex and Flair were hugging and squealing. I was standing there awkwardly. That's when a boy with white hair came forward holding a gun. I admit, it scared me. I reached out and grabbed the barrel of the rifle and jerked it from the boy's hands. I then tucked it under my arm and aimed it at him.
"Alex! The bride lady has a gun pointed at us!" He yelled. Flair and Alex turned to me.
"Uh, yah, I was…err, I was-he had it pointed at me first!" I blabbered.
"Gwen, this Alex. Alex, meet Gwen," Flair pointed at me. I stuck out my hand to be shook.
"And I'm Ice!" The rude boy jumped in front and shook my hand himself.
"That's nice," I said with fake enthusiasm.
"What's! Goin'! On?" A little boy said with each jump.
"It's just a couple of chicks, Jes!" Ice hollered back. The child had clawed his way to the door, pushing past Ice.
"Pretty girls! Hello Ms. Lady," the kid smiled. He was missing his front tooth.
"Ah, thanks for the compliment. My names Gwen, please call me ONLY Gwen, ok?" I ruffled his hair.
"I'm Jester. Jes for short," he bowed.
"And I'm Ryan Vazquez, the leader of this group of dysfunctional mutants," a boy of Hispanic origin stepped forward. He flashed me a pearly white grin. His brown hair laid to his ears and sea blue eyes glimmered in the faint porch light. He was hot.
"I'm Flair! I'm not the leader, sadly," Flair nodded.
"I want to introduce myself!" Another boy called from behind the mob of new friends. They moved to the side to let him come forward.
"The names Jace, J Winters," he looked us up and down. He jerked his head to the side, flipping his shaggy brown hair out of his chocolate brown eyes. His skin was tanned, like Ryan's. He had Italian facial features, including a rather big nose.
"You morons forgot someone," a younger girl grumbled. She was around eleven.
"Yes, this is Melee Crenshaw," Alex chuckled. The girl had elfish features. Her skin was pale. Short black hair and platinum grey eyes stood out.
That was all six of them.
"Listen, we need to get you all out. The Erasers will be coming for you. They know where you are!" I hurried.
"No, Jeb brought us here. Batchelder said we were safe before he left. He said that as long as we stayed here they couldn't find us," Alex shook her head.
"Yah, well, you're just another experiment," I said hatefully as I threw the file at her. She frowned. Ryan snatched it from her and began to flip through. Ice glanced at it.
"This is crazy! We can't believe them! We just met them for goodness sakes!" Ice growled.
"We just came from the School. I set it on fire, but there are other places, other Schools. They'll come looking. If you all won't come, then Alex will. Who wants to live?" Flair put it bluntly.
"Ryan?" Ice turned to the leader.
"Better safe than sorry," Ryan nodded.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Ice groaned.
"Everyone pack you're necessities, you have fifteen minuets!" Ryan ordered. The children ran for their rooms. I relaxed a bit.
"Uh, Gwen, lets bandage that," Ryan grabbed my arm and spun me around to face him. I felt like I couldn't breath!
"S-Sure," I whispered. He lead me inside.
"What happened?" he questioned as he pulled the bullet from my shoulder.
"Got shot," I shrugged, which hurt.
"Well, obviously," he chuckled as he threw the stupid piece of lead away.
"Thanks," I whispered.
"Here," he handed me a rag, "I have to go pack."
I sat there, my feet dangling off the counter. I felt stupid. I'm sitting in this hot guys living room in a dress stained from where I've been shot. I just waltzed in here and told these people to follow and they did.
"Hey, miss?" little Jes stood in front of me.
"Gwen!" I groaned.
"Gwen, right. Why are you so sad?" He asked.
"I'm not," I gave a fake smile.
"Sure," he nodded.
"Are you ready?" I asked. He climbed up onto the counter beside of me. Let me explain something very interesting to you. Jester here has purple eyes, blue hair, and neon green wings. Yes, he's a walking talking rainbow.
"I loooooove colors," he babbled, "and crayons!"
"I can tell," I grinned.
"Jes! Stop being a pest!" Ryan came back in, a backpack filled.
"Sorry!" The boy chirped as he climbed down.
"Are you morons ready?" Melee came in. Her pink duffle bag was stuffed.
"I am! But I cant find my shoes," Alex came out.
"I really don't see why we have to leave our house," Ice grumbled as he zipped his pack closed.
"Wait! Where are we going?" Jace asked.
"To meet the Flock, you're gonna live in their home," Flair explained.
"Who's 'The Flock'?" Ryan raised an eyebrow. Flair's jaw dropped.
"Only the most famous avians in the world!" She almost yelled.
"Ok, am I the only one who hears that?" Alex asked. We all got quiet to listen.
"Helicopters, that's helicopters!" Ryan screamed.
"Alright! Lets move!" I ordered.
"No! They have us surrounded. Crenshaw, grab Jes and get to the side door. Jace and Ice go ahead and kill all you can! Lets move!" Ryan barked orders. We all fled for the exits, but there was no time. They had caught us off guard. A freaking missile was fired through a window. It exploded and debris was thrown in all directions. I reached for something, anything.
I snagged onto Jes's shirt and pulled him close. He coughed and sneezed.
"Shoot!" That was defiantly Ice.
"Help!" Someone cried. I began to move. Somehow I had ended up on the floor.
"Stay close," I ordered Jes in a hoarse voice.
"Help!" It came again.
"Crenshaw?! Crenshaw!" Someone screamed in the background. I saw a hand reaching out from under a flipped sofa. I knew I had to get to my feet.
"Stay down!" I told Jes as I propped myself up on the table. I went over to the couch and tried to lift it. There was no use, there was too much on top of it.
"Stay with me! I'm gonna pull you out!" I yelled at the being crushed underneath. No answer.
"One…two…three!" I screamed as I grabbed the arm an pulled. Alex slid out from underneath. She looked as if she went into a state of shock. Her pink long sleeve t-shirt was ripped to shreds.
"Alex!" I shook her. No response. Her eyes stared forward, blankly. I slapped a hand across her face. She eventually came through. I shoved Jes close to her. That child would never be unseen, he's like one of those yield signs. If I kept him close to Alex I could find them.
"Wow! It smells like charcoal!" Someone exclaimed. I climbed over the fridge and wedged in a corner was Jace.
"Dude! Give me your hand!" I smiled. His face was grimy from where ash covered it. He reached out. I finally got him back to Alex and Jes. There would be no movement. The kitchen and some other room was all that we could get to. This place was torn to shreds. I didn't even know if the others were still alive.
"Ryan! Flair!" I called.
"Gwen?!" It was Flair. I thanked whomever was out there listening.
"Do you have Jes, Alex, or Jace?!" Ryan added.
"All!" I answered.
"We can't get to you!" Flair sounded defeated.
"Just get out! We'll meet up at home!" I hurried. Then all of the sudden there was a bloody scream.
"Erasers!" I heard Melee cry. My heart stopped. I grabbed Jes, the 7 year old was shaking, and literally carried him to the other room. Jace and Alex followed. I slammed the door, that was amazingly still attached, closed. I was trying to catch my breath when I heard Erasers rummage through the rubble outside. I pressed my back against the door and lipped to the others to find a way out. The door knob turned. No! Jes bit his lip.
"Hey! They're in here!" I heard a beast yell. They had found us. There were no windows, no escape doors.
"Go! Find a way out!" I screamed. The door was busted open, throwing me to the cold hard ground. The sick realization that they had caught us sunk in. We were trapped. We were going back to the cages…
