Hey guys I know my summery dosn't really explain to much, but i really don't know where this story will go, so just tell me what ya think in your reveiws *wink*wink*
Let's just say this is after Fang for get about the next book.
My birthday. My stupid birthday. With a stupid cake, and stupid presents, and a stupid party. I was jolted awake by the shriek in my ear.
"Max, it's your birthday! You gotta get up, Iggy's got a special breakfast for you!" I rolled over and let a low groan pass my lips.
"Nudge," I whispered, making her lean in closer to hear. "You don't need to scream! I'm right here!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.
She jumped back and smiled, "Just wanted to make sure you were up." She walked to the door and turned back. "C'mon Max, Iggy made pancakes, and I want to go into town and go shopping with you, then we're gonna go out to a good restaurant. Guess what I got you!" she came back into the room and plopped down next to me on my bed. "Well actually what I'm going to get you. I was thinking a few nice shirts to appeal to the guys at the mall—you know cuz you're over Fang and all—so where was I? Oh yeah, cute shirts and some new skinny jeans cuz let's face it you are absolutely hopeless when it comes to your wardrobe…"
I let her babble happily while I tuned out. It's been about 4 years since fang left, and today I was turning 19. I had moved my family—Nudge, the Gasman or Gazzy, and Iggy—to a different house in South Carolina a little ways off the coast and just a walk away from a private beach on a freshwater lake.
Dylan and Angel left on their own because…well I don't really know why. Gazzy was devastated, it was right before angel's birthday and he'd been planning a present for her he was certain she would love. After a year or so everything really just…shifted back to normal, like if we wanted to forget about everything we could, and life would carry on just with a few little absences.
"Nudge! I really need to get dressed, go down stairs and tell Iggy I'll be down in a minute." She hoped off the bed and floated across the room.
"'Kay but hurry because I'm starved and don't forget what I told you about your old clothes." I nodded even though I had no idea what she was talking about. I stood up and made my way to my closet.
I grabbed a green T-shirt and a pair of old jeans. For the first time in a really long time I looked in the mirror sizing up my outfit and Nudge was right, I looked horrible. I stepped back and shrugged, this was all I had and Nudge would most likely drag me through every store in the mall so we're bound to find something.
((}{))
"Iggy, you need some new jeans too. You should come with us, in fact I think we should all go get a few new things." I gave Iggy a pleading look and he chuckled knowing I did not want to do this alone. Iggy had been blind since he was eight up until about two years ago, he just woke up one day and could see.
Now he leaned over and kissed my forehead, "Okay, if you think I'll be much help." Iggy was always like a brother and a best friend to me but of late we'd become a little more than friends. I smiled and kissed his cheek. He leaned back and pulled me against him.
"Alright kids. Let's keep this PG please." Gazzy stuck his finger in his mouth and made gagging noises. I rolled my eyes and felt Iggy laugh behind me.
((}{))
We were flying close to the trees that surrounded the Coconut Cove Mall Complex. I dipped down and tucked in my wings, dropping the five feet to the ground. I heard the flock follow. "Hurry up Max, we gotta get going if we wanna beat the lunch crowd." Nudge grabbed my sleeve and tugged me toward the front of the building.
When we walked through the doors I was hit with a gust of air conditioning, a huge relief from the humid air outside. Immediately nudge started rambling about a sale sign in the window of a shoe store. Gazzy let out a bored sigh and Iggy followed soundlessly. "Guys, why don't you hit the clothing stores and Nudge and I'll check out the shoes here and we'll swap in half an hour." The boys headed off in the opposite direction. We entered the shoe store.
" Max, look at these!" Nudge squealed. "OMG aren't they adorable? You should so get them! Do you like 'em?" she held up a pair of black ankle boots with a 2 inch heel.
"Umm no, I don't really feel like breaking my neck today." She frowned and set them back on the stand. "But I do like the style, find me some with a little to no heel?" she perked up and slid down the aisles further into the store.
We stepped out of the store with five pairs of shoes, two for nudge, and three for me. We made our way across the food court and found the guys in a Holister. Gazzy was looking at the cologne.
In his dreams, I think.
Iggy was looking at some T-shirts. "I like this one." I said holding up a white one with the store logo on it. Iggy smiled and took the shirt off the hanger.
"M'kay. How was your girl time with Nudge?"
I had had a pretty good time with Nudge, she was a little different, more open and she cracked a lot of hilarious jokes about the guys. Over the years she must have closed up some with everyone AWOL. She was smart.
"It was fun. I got some new shoes that I think you'll like." I winked at him and he stepped into the dressing room grinning.
We made a bee-line for the food court. I ordered the greasiest food available and plopped down in one of the plush loveseats by the movie theater entrance. Iggy sat next to me with a tray piled high with enough food to feed a crowd…or a genetically enhanced bird kid. Nudge sat across from us next to Gazzy and we munched happily on burgers and fries.
((}{))
"Oh god, Iggy look at her!" Gazzy whispered excitedly to Iggy even though I was sitting right next to him. I glared at him through narrowed eyes. Iggy smiled down at me.
"It's okay, he's just messing around." He stroked my arm soothingly and I felt a pang in my chest. Fang used to do the same thing. Then I was mad, I was with Iggy now not Fang, Fang left. I couldn't take the memories flooding my head I couldn't think about him. He broke me.
I pulled myself up and pushed my lips onto Iggy's. I could tell he was surprised because he froze for a second, but he started to kiss me back. His arms came up around my waist; I put my arms around his neck. We continued like that for a minute getting more and more into the kiss before someone cleared their throat. I let go of Iggy and stood up, face to chest, with a really tall girl with weird silver hair.
"Is something wrong?" I said in the strongest voice I could manage after…Iggy.
"Uh yeah, if you don't mind some people are trying to eat." She snapped. She had that whole Japanese thing going on, dark skin, big almond-shaped eyes, skimpy clothes, and that silver hair.
"Oh, I'm sorry," I said as sweetly as possible, "Those people are just going to have to deal with it aren't they?" I smiled and spun away from her. She caught my hand and I froze. "Let go of me." I said, deadly calm.
"What're you going to do about it?" I lifted my foot and swung my body 360 degrees around and sent her backwards striking her across the chest. Then a red-headed girl was there.
"Don't mess with my peeps!" she screamed, and threw herself at me, but Iggy was beside me. He grabbed the hood on her jacket and yanked her backwards, but she latched onto his arm. I had just enough time to see her bite him before Japanese Girl was back. She threw a punch and caught me square in the jaw.
"Ooh, I bet that's going to leave a mark." She sneered. I lunged at her midsection and caught her off guard. We fell on the ground, punching and pulling hair. I caught a glimpse of Nudge dodging a kick from another red-head, a guy; she ducked left and smacked him with a whack to the side of the head. Then my own opponent pulled me back down and bite me on the neck and I screamed.
"Vampire much!" I grabbed a hand-full of her hair and yanked her head back. We rolled until I was on top of her. I kept my hand tangled in her hair and swung back with my free hand but before I could touch her, a hard fist closed over mine and hauled me to my feet, started, I didn't fight back.
"Back off Fang! She's mine." Then I couldn't do anything. That name. His name. I spun around fast and came yet again face to chest with someone, but this someone, I knew. This someone was the cause of so many nightmares and hallucinations of deep, dark eyes, of the terrible depression and pain that would roll over me, devour all the strength I'd had, until Iggy snapped me out of my daze and back to reality.
Fang was covered in head to toe in black. My breath caught in my throat and I felt sharp fingernails digging in my arm. Japanese Girl was still hung up on finishing me off. I stared down at her hand. Her nails were blue, and I couldn't help but notice the tiny white flower on her thumb. I stared at it for much longer than necessary, anything to keep my mind off the almost painful little zings sliding up my arm from Fang's touch.
"No Aj," hot, spicy breath hit my face and it was all I could do to stay standing. I swept my eyes up from his black converse to his black hair, falling over his eyes. I swallowed and stepped back pulling my arm from his grasp. I looked around and saw that the food court was empty, people must have taken the hint and left. Everyone from the fight was standing still, watching us. The flock no doubt recognizing the person in front of me. The people that joined the fight when the I attacked the girl, Aj, stood watching the events unfold. Nudge and Gazzy's eyes swiveled between me and Fang.
"You—you stay the hell away from me!" I stumbled back and felt Aj grab my jacket, but then her tugging was gone and Iggy stood tall next to me. He glared at Fang.
"Ig, it's me." Fang held out his hand but Iggy stepped back with me in tow.
"I know. I can see you." Fang dropped his hand and blinked.
"How…When?" He looked over at me, and then something clicked. He narrowed his eyes at Iggy's arm, snaked around my waist. Then my face. He eyes were boring so hard into mine it almost hurt, for a minute it looked like his façade was going to crack, but he just shook his head, clenched his jaw, and took a step back.
Iggy's shoulders visibly relaxed, and he dropped his arm back to his side. I turned and took a mental scan of how I felt and how the Flock looked, overall I thought we were in good shape, so I opened my mouth to declare our next move, but I didn't get a word out before Fang's fist was flying towards Iggy's head.
Ta Da! There she be the first chapter i hope it dosn't suck. RnR!
