I slowly stood up as the two figures, which at first I thought were just over-sized birds, come in for a landing at the foot of the cave. As I walked over to the new comers I nearly fell on top of one of them, but luckily I managed to catch myself by spreading both of my wings out slightly. Nudge didn't mention one of them being tall, or maybe I didn't hear her say anything relating to it, but right now I was practically standing in front of a 6-foot tall beautiful avian-freak. Then someone else, much smaller than the other, slid from underneath his wing and stepped in front of him. He had spikey blond hair and his wings were a light shade of brown and yellow together with lighter flecks dotted all around it. Similar to Nudge's wings.
"Who's the new-girl?" He asked arrogantly and crossed his arms. His voice had a slight distrusting edge to it. He was obviously not happy about another avian-hybrid among the group.
"This here is Storm," Nudge answered happily, swiftly stepping in-between us to make an introduction.
"Storm, this is Gazzy, Gazzy, this is Storm!" Nudge said happily, brushing off the harsh tone of Gazzy's voice.
I gave Gazzy a small, shy smile and waved. To my surprise his whole expression had changed, and instead now had curiosity written all over it. I guess he just now realized I had wings just like they did. But before he could open his mouth to say anything Nudge grabbed him by the arm and tugged him away.
"I'll explain everything to you and Iggy later." I heard her say as she trailed off to the opposite side of the cave.
Now I was left with, once again, the same unbelievably tall (and did I mention cute?) guy who I had nearly crashed into.
He looked down at me with his curious, sightless eyes. By the way he was staring down at me, with his beautiful blue eyes, and his unbelievable height, I was barely able to croak out an appropriate "hello". His hair was a very pretty orang-ish color, like a strawberry blonde, which matched his wings perfectly. Speaking of his wings, they were huge! Like, bigger than mine, and I probably had the DNA of a Ravens. Not too surprising judging by how tall he was. They were a pale brown color, or beige rather, and they glinted perfectly in the setting sun.
He blinked, and then finally spoke.
"What's going on?"
He stretched his hand out as if to touch my face, which to my surprise he did. To be honest, I'd rather not have a hand bigger than the size of my head resting on top of my face. I flinched and shut my eyes tightly, then slowly opened them, peeking through the gaps of his fingers.
"Uhh... What are you doing?" I asked, my voice all muffled from beneath his hand.
"Sorry," he said, a slight hint of embarrassment in his voice.
"I haven't gotten an explanation of what's going on yet. Also, I don't know who you are."
I couldn't help but smile at his innocence and removed his hand from my face.
"I think that's what Nudge has been dying to tell you." I said and glanced over at Nudge, who was excitedly explaining to Gazzy what he had missed.
Everyone else was spread out and gathered at the front of the cave in a big, some-what wide circle. I saw nudge motion me over with her hand urgently, and I slowly went and joined the group. Iggy must have heard the shuffling of my shoes against the cave floor and, as if he wasn't blind at all, followed directly after me.
It was basically a lopsided circle of introduction, sort of. I explained to all of them, this time with more detail, of who I was and what it was like being isolated in the school. Iggy, Gasman and Nude were so close so eager to hear more they were practically breathing down my neck. Fang stood at the front of the cave leaning against the wall, acting like he had heard my story a hundred times before (lies), but I knew he was just as interested as they were. I actually added in more things I forgot to mention before. For example, what exactly I was being injected with, where some of the experiments came from and why, that kind of good stuff. Oh yeah, I also told them about the time where I was trapped in a giant survival maze/cage with erasers at every corner, jumping out at me when I least expected it. The erasers were always newborns, though, but that doesn't mean I didn't get my fair-share of bruises and bite-marks.
The day came and went, and soon we were all passed out on the cave floor, sleeping soundly as the moon started to rise in the night sky.
Terrible chapter name, I know XD I'm not really known for naming stuff :P Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Spring break is coming so I'll most likely be updating a lot more!
And yes, I focused on Iggy for a reason XD.
(And when I said "And I probably had Raven DNA" if you don't know already, Ravens have huge wings for their size).
Also, why not look at my crappy maximum ride video: watch?v=k10ggMaZ-uQ
