Warriors Unite
Gwen's P.O.V.
We were nearing the house. Flying over the forest below, I glanced down. Something wasn't right.
"What's that?" Dylan pointed downward. I strained my eyes, but I didn't see anything.
"I don't see nothin'…" Kale frowned. Dylan's mouth flew open and he looked like he had seen a ghost.
"There's a war going on!" Is all he'd scream before his wings tucked flat to his back. I followed and as I neared the ground I spotted Ryan, Crenshaw, Jace, Gazzy, and Alex.
When I landed in front of them they looked up in shock, dismay, tiredness.
"Guys! What happened?!" I screamed as I raced forward to check Jace. He was bleeding...a lot.
"We've been attacked! Ebony, Alex, Jace, Melee, and me ran to the cliff. Jes came to, but the Erasers and some emo freaks caught him. They're holding him captive. Gazzy here just blew some of the beasts up. He narrowly escaped the mansion," Ryan began.
"Flair. Where is Flair?" I asked. His eyes met mine.
"Ice, Storm, and Flair stayed behind to fight, Storm ordered us to leave. They said they'd come, but it doesn't look like it. Iggy, Nudge, Max, Angel, and the Humans are still there. Gwen, we don't know what to do," Ryan said. A tear slipped from his eye. My gaze shot to Dylan and Fang, who had just landed.
"What are we gonna…?" I started, but they both cut me off.
"I'm going for Max," they said in unison.
"Jace is to weak to go into battle again! They all are! And Jes!" I explained.
"Gwen, Max and the others are out there stranded," Fang stated.
"So are we!" Alex frowned.
"We're going to the house Gwen," Dylan nodded.
"And what about them?!" I cried gesturing to the wounded. The Migration, "You have a duty to them! You are the leader and the majority needs you now! Tell us where to go!"
"Gwen, help me. You have to lead them. Get them safe. I have to save the others," Dylan whispered. With that he was off, Fang going with him. I was left there, standing in awe, that is until Kale poked me.
"Uh… ok lets get to the cliff side," I tried. Everyone spread their wings and was ready to fly, well except Jace.
"Ryan! Kale! Help Jace!" I ordered. The two boys shot the other a glare.
"Boys!" I barked. They moved quickly and we made haste to the cliff. There some jagged rocks stuck out and a cave was implanted right in the middle. Here we landed and caught our breath, but a shrill, "Guys!" took it away again. I jumped and turned, slightly startled, to see Ebony standing there.
"Oh, man you scared the heck out of me…" I breathed.
"Sorry," she smiled.
"Crap! This hurts!" Jace grunted as he slid down the rock wall he had been leaning on. He came to a rest on the hard ground. Alex rushed to his side.
"Ebs? Did Dr. M teach you anything?" I asked out of the side of my mouth. She nodded grimly and started to work.
"What are we gonna do?! Jes is kidnapped, there's a freaking battle going on at the mansion, and we're stranded unknowing of what to do with no leader!" Ryan flipped.
"Calm down. Slow breaths. We're gonna be fine. This is the time where we start making smart decisions," I said quietly as I stared him in the eye. He stood still.
"What is the most logical thing to do? Let the survivor inside pick, not the emotions," I mumbled as I hugged him.
"Hide. That's the logical thing. Jes is only one being, and although he's treasured he's only one. The life of one wouldn't power over the life of the others at the mansion. But for us to live, the smartest thing to do is to hide," he said faintly. I pulled away.
"Well, it's a good thing I'm not logical!" I grinned.
"What are you planning?" He asked.
"Ok! People! Listen up! Ryan, Kale, and I are going after Jes. Melee, you stay here and guard Jace. Ebony…yah you just keep it up. Alex, uh, just help Ebony. We'll be back! That's a promise!" I announced. The four staying looked at me and nodded.
"Where do we start?" Kale asked.
"At the mansion. They still have him. They wouldn't just grab him and run. He's somewhere bonded together in the fight," I thought out loud.
"Seems predictable," Ryan scoffed.
"Exactly why they'd do it! Besides, we have to check on the rest of our people," I smiled.
We flew quickly and silently to the house. From up above it looked like an anthill. Like the little black bugs were crawling all around the mansion as if it were a base. Then it looked like someone might have held a magnifying glass to it, for little patches of fire was scattered everywhere. The black dots were Erasers. And there were hundreds of them.
"Ready?" I asked above the wind whipping my hair.
"Lead on!" Kale cheered.
We dove into the heat of battle. Kale charging first, me and Ryan on his heels. Kale continued straight, killing Erasers left and right, but me, I branched off.
There in the yard of our home was a group of mutated children, older then me, but maybe a year younger than Max, stood ready for bloodshed. Flair and Ice stood shoulder to shoulder, neither moving. Thy were frozen. I knew Flair could take a couple of whimpy idiots. I watched with anticipation as one advanced and all followed. They all charged, and Flair was trying to roast them. Ice was freezing the morons. I was filled with excitement. Whoever this group was was going down. They were going down hard, too.
Then a body clashed into mine and I stared up at a face I would not soon forget.
"Night!" I breathed.
"Gwen?" She growled. And she began to punch and kick. I rolled and tossed, but she had me pinned. The four massive avian boys came behind her and decided to fight dirty. Four on one. My nose was gushing and my lip split. I looked around. Not a soul in sight who was on my side. I struggled out for under her grasp and I climbed to my feet. They had me surrounded. I had no safe place. No rest. My fists shot up and lashed out in violent strikes, each landing in a killer spot. I had two fists, two feet, and two wings, and I would have to use them all to get out of this alive.
"I do not understand, Gwen, how you can be so ordinary but such a good fighter, hmmm? How Gwenny? Hmm? How?" Night's voice teased and pricked. I would not fall down. I would win this.
"Listen you ape! You b******! You can't have my family, and you sure as h*** can't have the youngest!" I growled. She paused for a moment and that stupid smirk came back.
"You're so foolish. You and your whole group. The Flock is trash, practically. A new generation has been created, us!" Night stated.
"You know, I think you have some flukes," I laughed trying to cover up my fear.
"Hmm? And what would those be…?" Night asked.
"Well, firstly, YOU'VE DROPPED YOUR GUARD!" I cried as I flung myself at her. I knocked into her and bounced off, but she was tipped over and fell to her butt.
"And secondly, you have terrible balance!" I screamed. My wings unfolded and I threw myself to the clouds. It still hurt to fly, but I'd have to work through it. Now where was Kale…?
"Gwen! Babe!" That was defiantly Ryan!
I turned and searched for him. Pivoting in the air, I scanned the horizon below.
"Gwen!" His voice came again.
I kept looking.
"GWEN! WATCH OUT!" His voice commanded. Next thing I knew a paw wrapped around my throat. I was yanked and shook. I eventually began to gag. The Eraser turned me to face him. I stared him in the eye.
A cunning grin played across his face. I squirmed, but there was no use. My legs stopped working first. Then my hands fell from the beasts wrists, allowing him to crush my windpipe tighter. Finally my whole body relaxed. It was done. I was done…or so it felt…
"Wake. Up. Gwen!"
The I was dropped. My head fell lower than my feet. My wings hung limply at my sides. I was falling. Then I realized that I should gasp for air and I jerked up, sending myself into a fold, and started tumbling through the air. In this whole process of trying to fill my lungs and catch myself a figure appeared at my side.
Finally a scream erupted from my mouth and I let it run until it rubbed the back of my throat raw. Finally the figure register and I shut up. My wings began to beat and I started to calm.
"Calm down! Why are you so freaked?!" Ryan smiled.
I could only shrug.
"It's because you saw my face," he joked.
"Yah…that's it…" I chuckled.
"I have a bomb in my pants and if you don't back up I will detonate it and it won't only blow up my a**, but anyone in a five mile radius! So, if your fond of your butt cheeks may I suggest stepping back!" Iggy blared. We landed.
"Move people!" I ordered.
"And I can't find Max, Angel, or Gaz! Where are they Kale?! Where's Dylan and Fang and the Migration!" Nudge blabbered.
"Gosh Nudge! Shut up! Gazzy is FINE! Fang and Dylan are looking for Max, and for the others…well…I'm not the knower of all things!" Kale yelled as he drug her along.
"Where's the others?" I asked. Fang and Dylan landed roughly behind us, along with Ice and Storm.
"Flair! Where is she!" I was really nervous.
"I lost her about eight Erasers back, right after we ran from the Herd," Ice said shyly as e rubbed the back of his neck.
"I haven't spotted Jes," I frowned.
"What happened to him?!" Nudge squeaked.
"They stole him," Ryan growled.
"What do we do about Angel and Flair!?" Kale asked. They all looked to me.
"We didn't find Max!" Fang and Dylan added.
"She's fine! Flair sent her to the cliff," Ice explained. I was so overwhelmed.
"I will fry you!" A menacing voice warned.
"FLAIR!" Ice cheered. There came the redhead, hurdling corpses and knocking down mutants left and right. On her shoulder was a little blond girl, who was half asleep, or so it appeared.
Flair came fast, handing Angel over to Dylan and falling into Ice's arms. She was cut to pieces.
"I will kill those Erasers one day. I'll burn them to the ground till not one can wield a knife, raise a gun, or swing a fist. One day we'll find peace. One day we will rest…" Flair whimpered. Huge gashes ripped across her side.
"Amen," is the one word Nudge mumbled.
"Lets move!" Came my voice again. This time I wasn't thinking like myself. My one purpose was clear: to live.
Ok! I am so sorry that I skipped a day on updating! So very sorry!
