Prologue

Time really seems to fly when you're not running for your life everyday, or trying desperately to protect the ones you love.

I knew I was dreaming, but I just couldn't seem to wake myself up. I knew what was coming, I'd been having this dream for a couple weeks now, but I could never open my eyes before the agony struck.

In my dream, I was walking along a dim hallway, in what looked like a hospital. I knew it was the middle of the night, because there were only a few lights on at intervals along the ceiling. I walked along the hallway, looking into the rooms as I passed. Everyone of them was empty, except one, about halfway down the length of the hall. I slowly walked toward the light coming from the doorway. I paused, just in front of the light, knowing what was coming, and dreading it. I walked slowly into the room.

The Flock was situated around the room in various spots and poses, but their faces all wore the same tragic expression. Nudge and Angel were sitting close together, their arms wrapped around each other, their faces streaked with still-flowing tears. Iggy was sitting in one of the chairs in the room, staring into space, although his eyes were red and there were tear streaks on his face, too. Gazzy was also sitting in a chair, staring out the window through the blinds, his face wet and seemed to be permanently frozen in an expression of deep sadness. Moonlight streamed through the window onto the figure lying on the hospital bed. His eyes were closed, his face expressionless. He looked as if he was sleeping, but I knew right away he wasn't. His chest didn't move up and down with his breathing. His face somehow didn't look peaceful.

Fang.

As I looked at Fang, lying there in the hospital bed, I knew he was dead.

Agony ripped through me. I burst into tears, falling to my knees and wrapping my arms around myself. He couldn't be gone! He couldn't!! He was my best friend, I loved him with all my heart, he knew that, and he loved me.

Tears poured from my eyes, as if they had no intention of stopping. Suddenly, I felt something inside me move, as light as a feather, just below my bellybutton...

!! Foreshadowing?? Me just messin' with your heads?? lolz
