Snippet #2161158

Ebony saw them. She saw the damn Erasers stalking their way towards them. She was the closest to them, but also the farthest from the flock. Far enough away that Nico might not be able to hear. She immediately picked up a rock and flung it toward Nico. It chipped of another rock, creating noise and getting Nico's attention. The Erasers were closing in, already their eyes on the prize; moi. ce gamin oiseau. This bird kid. I skittered up, just to receive a fist with sharp claws scrape across my face. I cried out, but no noise came. I gave the one in front of me a nice kick, listening for the sickening oof! Then another one kicked me so hard I fell to the ground and saw stars. I cried out, but again, no noise came. I wriggled out from another Eraser's grasp, and started running towards the rest of the flock. They were already to them. Somebody screamed, she didn't know who.

Ebony snapped open her wings, she just had to get to the sky. She was met with a sickening thud to her back, knocking her breath away. She tumbled down, and an Eraser punched her in the head, and she blacked out. The Eraser flung her over his shoulder and ran off with her, heading towards a van, shoving her in. Then he wheeled around, searching for his next prize: Jubilee. The one they came for. The mute one was just an added bonus.
