While we were gone
Okay firstly it’s really beautiful out here in Washington, too bad we can’t do a little more sightseeing.
Reason for that, well it would have something to do with Erasers and such starting to show up every where we’re going! Washington’s starting to get a little too crowded for my liking, and thanks to my freaky power of instinct or whatever I constantly have this edgy feeling, the slightest sound makes me jump and I’m not exaggerating on this. We think the reason for the Erasers everywhere are because they want to catch Zan and his marry band of renegade bird kids.
Well before we left on this month long ‘mission’ I told you guys that maybe we wouldn’t return or worse. Well worse happened but luckily we al survived, that’s sorta why we were ‘built’ wasn’t it, to survive and do something big like save the world or some other crap they keep ‘telling’ us! Anyway lucky for you I’m still able to rant on this blog so you’re not going to die of boredom or if those whack job guys in the labs are right, you’re also not going to die of some random event/war thing from which we’re supposed to save you from, wow my life’s’ weird!
Anyways the mission I was talking about started out as just meeting someone who had info on one of our flock’s parents, this info came to us via a phone call from a girl who knows T.K and Zan. Her names Alex (don’t know her last name), she’s part of this other flock that travel around the country, she was friends with T.K long story short T.K and Alex escaped together from the ‘school’ where they were kept together since they were taken, they were found by Erasers shortly after tasting the sweet taste of freedom, they hit T.K over the head and left him to die(they thought he died so technically he’s a free (bird) kid now but he has this major grudge against the institute so he willingly fights them), after he was left and near death Zan and the others found him and nursed him back to health, after this Zan also discovered that when avian’s are away from the ‘school’ and their drugs and stuff we sorta mutate further and T.K actually mutated a power to heal people(he’s still working on that).
Anyway you probably want to know what happened on the mission and things like that don’t you, so before you start a war here’s the story, jeez.
Okay it all started when T.K suddenly got a call on his cell phone one night when we were camping out next to a little stream with a campfire warming us up (and why the hell did he have a cell? Easy, it was to keep contact with other flocks we meet, says Zan and since T.K knows someone in another flock he should have a cell, ya I don’t get it either). T.K switched the cell to loud speaker so that we could hear the conversation. On the other side of the line we heard a girl’s voice.
“Hey, hey Zan, guy’s, new kids. Oh first happy B-day T.K, my flock says happy too. Okay back to business, I called to tell you guys about something I found on the PC’s at one of the schools, it’s about someone who could, or actually should help you with finding one of your parents and maybe even your mission to bring down the institute and all!” The girl sounded excided. Oh ya T.K had his B-day on the 9th of April he turned 14, lucky kid, we had a whole Mc D’s feast out in the woods, and everyone in the flock helped to find the perfect gift, a book, sure sure your thinking why buy/steel a book for the blind kid, well it’s a special book we found out in a dumpster, a brail Bible or a piece of one, luckily he had a little training in reading brail back at his ‘school’ and he really wanted to ‘read’ something so it was a great present for him, he loved it even if it was a little stinky and was only a little piece of the Big book itself.
“Wow that’s great Alex, you’re an angel, but can we trust this person?!” Zander asked excitedly, I guess this could be a good lead then, not that I liked the sound of talking to someone I don’t know over a phone, especially a girl, not that I care, just forget what I said okay.
“Jip, she’s good, but she wants protection from them for her help, she also wants Lexis and Jayson to meet her first, she didn’t say why.” Alex said sounding very proud of herself and why the hell did this person only want me and Jay to meet her, was it a trap?
“Wait, wait, wait! Is this a trap, why only me and Jay!” I almost yelled out, okay I actually did yell out, but for good reason.
“You must be Lexis then, exactly like they say in your file, well heya anyway, and it’s not a trap, it’s sorta something more but I can’t talk about it over the phone, you just gota trust me on this.” Okay this must sound weird, but I for once actually wished my instincts would tell me it’s a trap and I shouldn’t go, but my instinct actually told me to trust her and meet this person, it’s just, I don’t know, weird! I cringed as if the thought actually hurt me, and I cringed harder when I opened my mouth to, ‘nother first for me, agree with her to go.
“Okay Alex, we’ll go.” I lifted my arms up in surrender.
“They’re not going if I’m not going for backup.” Glaice spoke up, sounding super sure of herself and uber confident (just FYI she finally got her new dress so she’s all cleaned up and girly now).
“Am, Zan, T.K, who’s the British girl?” Alex asked surprised, trying to whisper unsuccessfully, Glaice heard.
Before Zan or T.K could answer Glaice did, very Glaice-like I should say “I’m Glaice, and I’m surprised your ‘files’ didn’t mention me.”
Sensing the tension in the air like any good leader, Zan, who with the others only sat there around the camp fire(which I started) and enjoyed the show, finally spoke up “okay thank you very much Alex but we have to get moving now, you can just SMS the info they’ll need, and if you love your bird kid life you’ll just listen to what these two girls say, so just tell the person we’ll be meeting to suck it up, Glaice is going with them, bye!”
I heard Alex protesting on the other side of the phone but before she could get anything said Zan said ‘bye’ and pressed the red button, call ended.
Em was curled up with Lily next to Mark, today was ‘n long day, we avoided an Eraser attack and just barely escaped a supermarket without being noticed, thanks to Lily’s ability to turn us invisible for a while we got out. But how long could we go on like this.
The two younger kids were maxed out, and I wasn’t sure how long we older kids would hold out, a few days, a week maybe, we really need a vacation from being chased all the time. A nice island with lots of food, a nice shelter, no erasers, blue Warm Ocean, oooo, hehe sounds sooo nice but things like those are hard to find.
“Coke?” Zander finally woke me up from my day/night dream of being in a nice warm place, food, ocean smell, freedom . . . he handed me a can of Coke Cola, I took it and said thanks and instantly opened it. I looked around our little campfire and saw the rest of the flock fast asleep, everyone except me and Zan.
“Do you think Jay, Glaice and me are going to walk into a trap?”
“No, I trust Alex, she’s never sent us bad info.” Zander said gently, he took a sip of his Coke, and stared into the fire which was still going strong. “Don’t you have some spider sense thing going on? You were kinda jumpy and weird every time before an Eraser attack, later on I just looked at you to know if an Eraser would pop by.” He smiled at me. I could practically feel my cheeks flush bright red.
I smiled back at him, downed my can of Coke and stretched out. “Ya you could probably call my weird sixth sense thing that, hehe, I’m going to take a nap now, you’re on guard duty right?”
“Jip, sleep tight then.”
I curled up on the ground, it was kinda cold you know, end of winter chill still in the air.
I fell asleep instantly.
I tried not to think of tomorrow’s mission, or the fact that there’s maybe something wrong with my ‘spider sense’ and me, Glaice and Jay was walking into a trap, I pushed those thoughts aside and focused on the here and now, I was free, Jay and my new found flock was save, and we could find someone who could help us stop the institute if she turns out to be on our side.
Okay just because I can and I’m in the mood to be spiteful I’m going to add what happened the next day later, hehe so just watch this space.
One more thing, I see i have spelled Glaice's name wrong a few times, he-he sorry G, she showed it to me dureing our atventure mission thing, the correct spelling is Glaice, not Glaze or Glace or anything like that, again Glaice I'm sorry so stop hitting me okay?!
