Chapter 7: The Chickens are Coming! The Chickens are Coming!

      As we were walking through the halls CJ rushed up to me again nearly knocking me down by using me to stop his momentum.

"Hey dude, what class do you have next?" he said resting his arm on my shoulder. I shrugged

"I don't know let me see" I pulled out my schedule and saw Flight training. This filled me with excitement I was hoping to finally learn about how to use these things. "It's flight class!" I said excitedly

"Awesome! it's the same for me!" I looked at where it's located and saw it was on the other side of the school. I felt the blood drain from my face and I looked towards CJ and he had the same expression so we both said and did the same thing.

"Run!" We ran breaking through the sea of people as much as we could to manage to make it to class on time. It was our hardest battle yet. The sea seemed never-ending and always fluctuating. It appeared that with each hurdle we scaled there were two to take its place but after this treacherous war, we finally made it to class the second before the trumpets blared signaling class to begin.

The both of us were gasping for air to gain what we had lost. I hear what your wondering you have air sacs or something in your lungs you both should have plenty of oxygen. Well, let me tell you this we have not had to use these before so they are low in stamina and capacity.

"Welcome gentlemen happy for you two to join us, come along we have a lot to do today and little time for it,"An energetic woman's voice said. We both looked up to see who said it and we saw a woman who appeared to be in her early twenties despite her bright white eyes appearing old. She possed short silver hair it was close to her head with multiple sharp bangs hanging on her forehead, with a short ponytail sticking out of the back of her head that resembled tail feathers with fair skin with two large silver wings that resembled an eagle. She wore an unzipped black track jacket with a white t-shirt with the words Angelus Sanctum written in an old English font underneath a downward long sword with two outstretched wings behind the crossguard. Under this, she wore black track pants and white running shoes.

She led us towards two double doors to the same field I got flung around yesterday.

"Okay I need you two to go towards your classmates and we'll begin" When we did I noticed that this was the biggest class I've been apart of this whole day. There had to bed at least a hundred people here probably more. As we made our way to them I noticed someone waving to us and I saw it was Arden.

"Ah, Thomas over here!" he boomed and right after he talked I heard a startled squeak as I saw Noel beside him holding her ears. Her ears were probably stronger than ours and if Arden is loud to me he must be like a dog whistle to her. We waded our way over to the two of them.

"Welcome Thomas good seeing you once again!" he boomed once again followed by another squeak.

"Hey man hey could you lower your voice your kind of torturing Noel over there"

"Oh my apologies Ms. Noel I didn't mean to cause you any pain" he apologized lowering his voice

"Don't worry about it. I'm fine, thank you for lowering your voice."

"So this is the Noel you have a cru_" I covered Cj's mouth quickly

"No. You be quiet"

"Ah, who is this Thomas."

"Heh, he's another of my friends, CJ" who ripped my hands off of his mouth.

"Not cool man you shocked me! Anyway nice to meet you...Uh sorry, whats your name?"
