Max pov
Snap! I kicked back the last Eraser's head and it lay on the ground motionless. "Let's get outta here before they wake up and crack our skulls open." I said to the flock. They took positions to take off and jumped in the air. I followed.
We flew for about an hour. Then, of course, Nudge started complaining that she was hungry. "Alright, let's head downwards." I told everyone. We landed behind Burger King and walked around. "Mmm, smells good." Iggy said.
"Ya, lets keep it that way." I said, looking at the Gasman. He gave me an innocent smile. "Max, where's Celeste?" Angel asked.
"Um, I don't know, I'll be right back." I said and went outside. I walked around the back and found it lying on the ground. I picked it up and turned around.
Great, an Eraser. But only one. "Hi, what brings you here?" I asked. He growled. "Oh, I think you know." it said in deep voice.
"Well, it doesn't hurt to be reminded." I replied, and shot forward to punch it in the stomach. But the Eraser moved and I landed on my stomach. "Ow, you know, you should really focus on what I'm trying to do to you." I said getting up.
"No time for small talk, let's just get this over with." growley said. "Because I need to get you to the school-"
I kicked him in the face, sending him backwards. "Your right, no time for small talk." I said and ran inside. "Guys. Eraser. Outside." I said. We all ran out and ran across the street. We hid behind trees and took off in the air. I handed Angel her stuffed bear and went in front of everybody else. Fang and Iggy came up next to me.
"We need to leave." Fang said. "Yeah, if we don't, they will be all over the place." Iggy said. I thought for a second. "Okay, my mom's. Just for a couple days." I said. They nodded. We were in Southern California, so it should take about 6 hours to get to Phoenix.
"Max, it's late. Can we get a good start tomorrow and go to a hotel or something?" Angel asked. "Sure, or something as in some trees will be fine. But nowhere near here. Somewhere closer to the border of Arizona. So let's fly for about 3 hours, m'kay?" I said. In return I got a few sure's and an but why? and a hmph!
So we flew for a few hours and landed in between some trees. Fang and Iggy went to get water and Gazzy and Angel were laying out the blanket to sleep on.
"Nudge, help me look for firewood." I said. "Okay. Where do I look?" she asked. I looked around. "Um, how about over there." I said pointing to a place where a tree was dying. She skipped over there and started picking up broken branches. I grabbed a match out of the back pack and lit it as Nudge put down a pile of branches.
"Thanks, Nudge. These are good pieces." I said. She smiled and walked away. Iggy came over with Fang and set down the water bottles. "Thanks." I mumbled, trying to get the fire to grow. I furrowed my brows. Fang took a step toward me and grabbed the match.
He threw it in the fire. "Fang! You just threw the match in there!" I yelled. He turned to me. "Max, I may be quiet, but I'm not stupid. I know I threw it in the fire." I glared at him.
He kicked the piece of wood that was nearest. It lit up perfectly. He kicked another one and that lit up, too. "What? All you do is kick it? I could do that easily!" I said. "Try it." he said. I walked around the fire, and found a piece sticking out. I kicked it, alright. I also burned my foot. "Ow!" I yelped.
All Fang did was smile! Smile. That's it. "No, no worries. I'm in perfect condition, as my foot is." I told him. "Oh, I wasn't worried." he replied. I sighed in frustration. I stomped around him and set down to take watch. Fang walked over and picked me up and sat me on the blanket. "What are you doing?" I asked.
"Taking watch. Duh, Max." Fang said. "Um, no. I am." I said. I walked over and kicked him. Nothing. I got down on my knees and pushed him. Nope. I grabbed his shoulders and pulled as hard as I could. Nada. I took a breath, thinking of one last way to get him to move. I leaned down in front of him and smacked my lips against his.
His eyes flew open as wide as they could go. I pulled away and put my hands on my hips. "You gonna move now or do I have to kiss you again? Wait, don't answer that. Just move." I said. He stood up and left with a sigh. He didn't like that? Did he?
Either way, I won. I sat down and focused on sounds. Anything unusual and I'll be up and at 'em. Nothing except the usual.
Wolves running in the distance, night birds flying around, a squirrel every once in a while. Finally 3 hours past and I went to go wake up Fang. "Hey, wake up." I whispered. I gave him a little shove. I poked him in the back until he gave up and opened his eyes. "Huh?" he asked. "Uh, take watch." I replied.
"I won't get up. But you could make me by doing something unusual." he replied, obviously talking about the kiss. "Come on, Fang. No jokes. I don't care how uch you hate kissing me, no jokes about it." I said. He stared at me. "Max, I..." he started.
He shook his head and got up. I layed in his spot and fell asleep easily.
Okay, this is my second story, first about them really having wings. So, give me tips. Give me 'good jobs'. Or, just send a review saying you hate it. But I would prefer you don't. So, R&R.
