Fly once again, it truly was one of the best feelings in the world. The wind wiped my hair back and tickled my face. This was joy, I wish I could spend the rest of my days in the sky with the flock. I looked to my right to see Fang, my best friend, right hand man, and more recently my boyfriend, yes I said it Fang and I are dating. Not that we had gone on many dates or anything, with the whole saving the world and all. Which by the way is way harder then I thought it might be, and I knew it wasn't going to be a piece of cake. I looked to my left to see Iggy and Gazzy talking softly to each other with smiles on their faces. I don't think I even want to know what it is their discussing, hoping it wasn't a bomb plan that might accidentally blow up my mom's house. Then slightly behind and below us was Angel and Nudge. Nudge was talking a way chatting poor little angels ear off not only vocally but most likely through her thoughts too. Angel just flew next to her an listen, nodded and when giving a chance would reply. She seemed happy but I knew it was a cover up at least for the time being. Angel hadn't been exactly the same after Totals death. We got into a fight with some M-geeks Angel had gotten hit pretty hard and she dropped total he had all ready hurt his wing in a previous fight so he fell. None of us were able to get to him in time.
I looked over to see Fang move in closer to me so are wings were just barely touching, "You okay?" He whispered so silently only I could hear. That's Fang for you a man of little to no words what so ever. "Yeah just thinking about everything that has happened with us and saving the world, and not to forget Total." I said just as quietly as him not wanting Angel to hear me talk about Total, she has tried so hard to put on a brave face, but at night I find her crying in her sleep.
"Yeah, I miss him too," Fang muttered, "Him and his witty comments, but we're about 20 to 15 minute away from your mom's house so then we should be able to relax for a while."
"Guys do you here that?" Iggy asked to all of us, at the same time we all stopped and hovered there listening for what Iggy heard. Just then I heard it too, the sound of wings betting the air. It sounded as though there were at least 50 of them.
"Angel can you pick up on there thoughts?" I asked hoping that the worry in my voice didn't come out. We couldn't risk trying to out run what ever it was and lead them to my mom's house and we all knew that so we just hovered there in silence while Angel tried to read their thoughts.
"Nothing, They don't seem to be humans, Max," Angel replied with a frown. I just hope we could take them down easily.
"Stand your ground everyone," I commanded. I looked at Fang who just nodded, I could see the worry in his eyes. I know he was trying to hide it but I could see past his stoic exterior. We all turned to see the threat coming, they were M-Geeks but they now have wings (AN/ I can't remember if the M-Geeks already had wings. Sorry if I'm wrong.) "We come for Maximum Ride and the others," they chanted roboticly, sounding as one. Great just what I needed some dumb robots with wings trying to kidnap us. I was the first one to make the first punch and then the fight started. I saw Angel and Nudge tag teamed one of them and take it down. Fang was fighting two at once and doing fairly well but he did take a few blows. Iggy and Gazzy were doing the who team work thing like Angel and Nudge and taking them down two at a time. I kicked one of them in the face then through it into another one, watching them fall and hit the ground with a satisfying crack before bursting into flames. Just then I turned to find a M-Geek with a gun pull the trigger and before I could even dodge it I was hit. The pain took me over as my wings folded in and I began to fall.
"Fang!" Angel yelled out when she had picked up on my thoughts, "Max is falling!" I felt him catch me in his arms, and lower me to the ground. He began to apply pressure to my wound.
"Stay with me," he begged, "Oh god Max stay with me." In the air I heard Iggy call out duck to the others followed by an explosion.
"We got them all," Iggy stated I could hear the panic in his voice as he looked at me. I met his gaze trying to give him hope. "We have to get her to Dr M's house quick." In response to Iggy's statement Fang got up with me in his arms and started to fly. I drifted in and out of conciseness during the flight though the whole time I could hear Fang murmuring to me to hang on.
The next thing I realized was I was laying on my back as I heard my mom and fang trying to keep me alive. I wasn't in my body anymore I was looking at the seen playing before me from above. "Come one Max hang on there, you have to make it." Fang encouraged with tears streaming down his face. "I love you Max. Don't go." Then I felt myself detach form my body below and I began to rise in the air.
The last thing I heard was my mom's voice, "Fang, we lost her, I sorry." Her voice was filled with sorrow.
