all rights to the amazing James Patterson!
I flew for a couple hours before I finally got to Atlanta and landed on the outskirts of town to be sure I wasn't seen. I pulled out the envelope and checked the address that was on the piece of paper with Iggys picture on it.
"I really hope this all works out." I muttered to myself, tucking everything back into my back pack and took off at a brisk pace.
Caught in my thoughts and just focusing on what I needed to do, I soon realized I was almost there and needed to focus. What would I say to him? Would he remember me? Would he even be here?
Thoughts swirled through my head and I found myself on the street I needed. Double checking the house number I scribbled on my hand, I walked up to a huge White House.
The white picket fence, rose bushes surrounding the perimeter, emerald green door and shutters adorned the outside while glimpses through the windows gave me a glimpse of the luxurious inside.
"Woooow" I said to myself as I stood outside the gate that stood between me and a stone path that let to the front door.
"Can I help you?" I heard a voice I had once known so well come from my right. "Your standing in front of my house"
"Iggy!" I cried. I was so happy to see him! It had been so long since I had seen my flock, and there he was. Standing there in all his goofy glory, with a golden dog at his side. Oh yeah. He didn't have his heightened senses anymore, he needed help getting around now.
"Can I help you?" He asked, sounding annoyed.
"Ummm no, I had a friend that used to live here" I said feeling sad. He didn't remember me and I didn't know how to fix this. "Sorry if I bothered you" I muttered and I walked away.
"Weird, huh girl?" I heard him say to the mess of hair and drool next to him. "She seemed so sad" and I took off at a run. I didn't know how to help them! I didn't understand! Why me? Why had I been awakened? Was it a mistake? I need answers.
So with that, not caring where I was or who saw me; I lunged into the air and shot open my wings and took off towards the only home I had ever known before this 'experiment'- the E shaped house in Colorado.
I knew I probably wouldn't find any answers there, and I would probably find all my answers at the school; but I didn't care. Not without my flock.
I felt so alone as I glided effortlessly through the air. So exposed. It made me sad, and a little scared. But mostly it made me angry. Angry I had let this happen to my flock, to me. If I only had held on, if I hadn't passed out when I fell.
This was all my fault and I didn't know how to fix it!
So as fast as i could I raced back to that house, back to the memories I tried to forget. Back to the place where we were betrayed for the first time by someone whom we thought cared.
