Iggy and Nudge
AN: I am writing this because I really want to post a fanfic online and I think Iggy and Nudge are so cute together. I'm obsessed with reading about them right now and as I ask at the end of this post to be gentle with me, this is my first fic!
Disclaimer: Me: Iggy, do I own you, or the flock?
Iggy: I believe you don't…
Angel: But, you want to!
Me: I know…but sadly…*sniffle*…I don't
Iggy POV
Nudge and I never told anyone about her. Her name was Ariesella, and she was the first bird kid. Only Nudge and I knew about her but we couldn't tell anyone, not even the flock. They couldn't know because it was too painful to relive that horrible day. Nudge and I seldom speak about it. You know how they always call Nudge "experiment 7" even though there are only six bird kids? What do you think happened to the missing bird? Well, Nudge and I knew the very first bird kid. Her name was Ariesella, and we haven't stopped missing her to this day.
I went to Nudges room and sat on her bed. I asked her softly, "do you remember her…Arie… I mean?"
She spoke softly, "of course I do, how could I forget her and what she did for us?"
I questioned if she remembered the details.
"Ya, I do" said Nudge, "but can you tell me about her again, I love it when you tell me"
"Of course, even though it hurts, I never want to forget either!"
I'd just been thrown back in my caged cubicle. It seemed like there was not just a row, but rows lining the walls just as high as they were wide. I felt Nudge come over to my side in our shared cage. They'd done something to me and I had to admit it, I was scared to death.
Then again… wasn't everyone scared to death when they came back from an experiment at the school. You'd be a fool not to, especially when you couldn't see a thing after they took my sight. Add that to the long list of personal thefts…our parents, our home, our freedom, and our dignity was definitely left at the door when we got here. Finally, after a few minutes of Nudge soothing me knowing something was wrong (we were connected like that). All I could do is listen because I no longer could see…they took that from me.
There was a girl…14, maybe 15. Nudge was using her motor mouth to explain to me what I could not see. She seemed to match the age she described. The girl came over to me and gently took my face into her hands. Nudge said that she looked at my eyes and in a sympathetic voice wispered, "I'm sorry, but the evil whitecoats have not just taken your family, life, home and freedom, took your eyesight as well".
Now this came as a huge shock to me hearing the loss tolled up like that.
For the next month or so, while we worked out our moves in the training field, she'd come out of nowhere to come to our protection. She would not say much, just smile, and then fall back and hide in the shadows fighting others again. After a couple years of this, she included the strength in using her wings to fight. Being our Mentor and teacher, we followed suit and it became a lot easier. The flock did too.
After another year on the field, Ariesella had gone to an experiment, and we heard the usual haunting cries in the hall from all the evil things being done. Then we heard a voice that belonged to Ariesella, no matter how weak Nudge and I were, we shot up. We pressed against the cage; nobody else had ever seen or heard her cry out in pain before. Many of us winced but didn't react like we did. We knew they were torturing her, and it was killing us inside.
So, Nudge and I sat in our cage for hours, crying because we could easily hear her pain. When the flock finally saw her being brought back in, they just saw her lifeless body being treated as just another experiment to be brought in. Not us, we were devastated. And then when a whitecoat walked in, Nudge could not hold back her cries, "how could you! Why did you do this to her! Why..?" and the white coat simply said "we actually wanted you guys for this experiment, but when we went to take you she sacrificed herself for you. No matter to us, it is all the same, the job is done."
She was a number, not a soul and a beautiful person…snuffed out for their stupid cause.
We rarely spoke of her after that night, but the times we did, we thought of the girl who stepped in when we were about to get badly hurt on the training grounds. The girl who sang us to sleep. We never thought of the limp, lifeless body the whitecoats threw into our cage.
And that is Ariesella, to us.
Then I said to Nudge "I miss her, even now, I miss her"
Nudge said "I know, so do I, so do I"
I went back to my room in Dr. Ms house and thought about how I never would have fallen in love with Nudge (not that she knows I fell for her) without Ariesella, how Ariesella could make nudge smile and learn to be truly happy, witch Nudge still is, if Ariesella would have never taught her that, I probably wouldn't love Nudge the same way I do.
Hoped you liked it, I am turning it into a multi chap and how nudge and Iggy go into that whole jazz about them loving each other, and then max freaking out, always a great one.
Now, this is my first fic, so don't go too hard on me, but I will award you with a magical, imaginary unicorn and mini iggy! So, please! Review!
