Chapter 1
Fang's POV
I breathed in the crisp air around me, and looked around. I walked up to Max and said, "I am going to go scout out the area, okay?" Max nodded and then I took off.
As I was looking below I saw something that looked like an eraser. Then I saw that there were maybe ten of them chasing a flying person. I quickly swooped down to help. By the time I got to the flying person I could tell it was a girl, and she was cornered. Right before they started to attack her I said, "Hey, leave her alone."
The erasers quickly whirled around, and what seemed to be their leader said, "Well, now we got two bird kids. Excellent. You must be from the other flock."
Then the girl said, "You must be Fang, get out of here. Your flock is the only chance of stopping the biggest school of them all."
At that the erasers leaped at me, I began to fight all ten of them simultaneously. I channeled all the anger at what the schools were doing to the world, into the fight. Soon I had dealt with the ten erasers and walked over to her.
"How did you-I didn't know you had super strength."
"I don't I just can channel emotions into the battle."
Then I walked up to her and she said, "Let me heal the cut you just got."
All of a sudden I felt a tingling sensation on my shoulder, and I looked down and the cut was gone.
"What's your name, and why are you here?"
"I'm Jessica. I am here because the rest of my flock has been captured. I knew about you guys so I set off to find you. We have been sabotaging this school for around a year and a half. This school is the mastermind school, but now it has finally grown to big for our flock to stop them and then we were captured. Your flock is the only chance of stopping this school. Please lead me to your flock. We need your help."
I looked at her for a moment and then I nodded. On the way back she told me how there flock had stopped this school from becoming even bigger than it already was. And she told me how she was the appointed leader of this flock, and how they had been born in this school, how they had escaped from this school.
Finally we got back to the flock. I told Jessica to stay in the trees while I talked to Max.
"Max, I need to talk to you."
"Sure, what about?"
"While I was out scouting I found someone named Jessica and I protected her from ten erasers." Then I continued to tell her everything Jessica told me, and then ended by telling Max that Jessica was in the trees right now. At that point Jessica walked out.
"Will you please help us; I can't leave my flock to such a fate."
Max studied her for a moment before saying, "Yeah, we will help you, but you will have to show us where this school is."
After that we told the rest of the flock what Jessica had told us, and then we settled down for dinner. Then everyone went to sleep except I stayed up, because I was on first watch.
I felt as if someone was watching me so I turned around and saw Jessica walking over.
Then she sat down next to me and asked, "What's up?"
"Thinking."
"About what?"
"Just what we're going to do."
"Fang…thank you so much for saving me today. I don't think I could have fought all of them by myself; I had been flying for a while, so I was pretty exhausted."
"No problem."
"You really are as silent and mysterious as everyone says." I looked over her and gave a quick smile.
Then she laughed and said, "Wow. I didn't know you were capable of smiling."
Then she scooted closer to me, and her arm brushed mine. I felt a weird feeling in my gut and looked over at her. She was looking up at the stars and said, "The stars are great tonight. Not a cloud in the sky."
After a while she walked back over to where she was sleeping and went to sleep.
A half an hour passed of just my own thoughts swirling around, and then I saw two tiny lights in the bushes. Then slowly more came. Then I realized that they were eyes.
