Let the games begin

Chapter 2: Bird kids? Really?!

"Who am I? No no no. I should be the one asking, who are you?" I took a step forward and that prissy blond girl got into a defensive stance. Letting out a small "tsk", I turned to Ren. "Ren, who are these people? I thought I was the only one who could hobo here!" I gave him a look of mock hurt, to that he shrugged.

"Everyone...this is Seb...Seb..this is Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel." The dog barked. "And that's Total...." He scratched the back of his head as the prissy blond, who is now Max, lowered her guard.

"I see...Well everyone! Like Ren said, I'm Seb! I'm also a fruit bat, like Ren." I threw a bag of those fruit gummy thingie (you know what? I don't even know exactly what it is...) to Ren and continued. "I live here with Ren and well, he's pretty easy to live with." They all nodded. Guess they've been here for a while... "Are you guys like...with iTex or something?" The older ones tensed. 

"Why?" Iggy spoke out. 

"Because I'm from the iTex division in London."

"Yeah! I knew you were British! You're accent is really cool!" Gazzy piped up. I couldn't help but smile. He was adorable. I walked toward him and ruffled his hair.

"Yeah, I guess." I flashed him a smile, my fangs showing. I went around, shaking everyone's hand, exchanging "hellos" and a whole rant about how my fashion sense could do some work by that Nudge girl. I came to a stop in front of that Fang guy. He simply stared at me, eyes hard and arms crossed over his chest. I mimicked his actions, a smirk on my face. "You look like one of that emo boys I see cutting themselves." Irritation clear on his face, Fang tugged his shirt up a little, exposing three scars. It looked like an Eraser got him. 

"I don't self-harm." He gave me that hard look again as he pulled his shirt back down. I merely shrugged. 

"I have worse." I took off my jacket, exposing myself in my black tank top. I had numerous scars on my neck and arms. Those lab guys were very cheeky with the needles and the knives... I could hear several of the younglings gasp. "I was the only bat kid that didn't die out so they did all their experiments on me." Fang turned his head away, muttering about how I was just a show off. Hey hey hey, he was the one that was flashing scars here.

"Seb..." Ren called in that tone of his. I swear, that guy had only one, bored tone of voice. "Did you find anything?" Shrugging my jacket back on, I rolled my eyes at him.

"Of course I found something Ren, I'm not a twit. There are two cargo trucks coming in today. Food and clothes. I know you don't care much for clothes but I don't want to be sitting in the same clothes everyday so you better come help me if you want the location of that food truck." Nudge was at my side in an instant, rambling on and on about what kind of clothes were in that truck. I couldn't care less if it was men clothes or women's clothes, I just wanted something to wear. After 3 minutes of nonstop talking, I finally placed my hand over the girl's mouth. "Just...please...shut up! I swear, you're like those little taco dogs that don't stop yapping." Max and Angel tensed while the boys just laughed (with the exception of Ren because one of his nature has no funny bone). Nudge bit my hand and turned her back to me, stomping off the the mouth of the cave. 

Max sent one of those dirty glares while she and Angel went to go cheer up the annoying girl. Ren came up and tapped my shoulder, a sign telling me 'it isn't okay to make kids cry'. If I could make one cry in the span of 10 minutes that I've been here, I wonder what I could do in a day....
