I burst out of Itex, with 5 mutant bird kids and a talking dog behind me. "REPORT," I yelled. "Got a few scratches, but I'm alright," said Iggy. "Same," I heard Gazzy, Angel, and Nudge and Total say.
Fang, my voice told me. "Fang," I yelled immediately. No answer. "Fang!" I yelled again. No answer. "FANG!" I screamed. I whipped my head around, seeing 4 worried faces, but no Fang. I skidded halt, telling my flock to stay there.
Turning around, I ran back to Itex, adrenaline filling my body.
It took me awhile to find Fang under all of the construction. He was unconscious, as far as I could tell.
"Iggy" I called. "Come here." I heard footsteps, followed by Iggy's voice. "Yo. What's up with Fang?" he asked, his voice sounding scared. "I'll explain later, just help me lift him up."
With Iggy's help, we lifted Fang up and carried him outside. The flock had worry written all over their faces. It just broke my heart to see them like that. But I wasn't worried about them right now. My main concern was Fang.
"Me and Iggy will carry Fang. For the rest of ya'll, up and away."
And we were off.
With me and Iggy leading, we all headed northwest. After a couple of minutes, we landed in a tall, thick tree. I sat Fang down gently, checking his wounds. His neck wasn't broken, Thank God. When I turned him on his side, Nudge gasped. "What? What happened?" I heard Iggy say.
I looked down and gasped myself. Fang had a huge gash on his side, and it was bleeding like crazy. My first thought was Please don't let him die. Please, please, please.
If you don't do something quick, he is going to die, my voice said. No freaking duh, I thought nastily.
My voice sighed. Stop the bleeding, it said. "Nudge, tear off your sleeve and give it to me."
Using Nudge's shirt, I put pressure on Fang's wound. It seemed to help.
"Iggy, Gazzy, tear off your sleeve's, too." They did as I said and eventually, the bleeding stopped.
"Fang, please don't die." I whispered. Slowly, he opened his eyes.
"Ifeelikecrap," he said, his words slurring. "Don't talk. Save your energy." I said to him.
I don't know how long we stayed in the tree. Maybe 5 minutes, maybe 5 hours. But the time didn't matter. As long as Fang was okay, I was okay.
Me and the flock eventually fell asleep, with each one of us touching Fang.
