It's… Complicated
MAX
I flew over the ocean, trying hared to keep my emotions in tacked as I looked over my flock.
Iggy… Nudge… Total… Gasman… No Angel… No Dylan… No Fang…
I must be a pretty terrible leader to loose two members of my flock and have another one end up being kidnapped.
Dylan left because he tried to replace Fang… And…
It's complicated.
Fang was on his own that's to me.
Angel could be dead for all I know.
And I had a flock that was loosing faith in me completely.
"Can we visit Fang when we get Angel back?" Nudge asked, "Cause we'll be, like, in the same area."
I said nothing but she kept at it.
"Please Max? Please? It'll be fun!"
Yeah Max… Fun, Voice sneered.
Ignoring it was not helping. I've been doing that for the past day now and it decided it was going to be a chatterbox.
"Nudge," I said, rubbing my temples, "Please, just shut it for, like, five minutes."
"What's wrong Max?" Gasman asked me.
"Headache," I said, then screamed in my head GO BURN IN-
I was cut off by a voice.
"Maxie, girl," I turned to see a helicopter. Silent as a jungle cat.
Dylan spoke to me.
"Dylan," I growled, then I saw he had a gun pointed at Nudge.
"MOVE Nudge!" I screamed, as the gun cracked. Throwing myself in front in of the bullet and pushing Nudge out of the way was weird in three ways.
1.I was going to get myself killed.
2.I probably just lost Nudge a few hundred feet in altitude.
3. By the way Dylan was smiling was a sign that he meant me to push Nudge out of the way.
I fell hundreds of feet… My wings and body curled.
Dead I was… Dead I'll be.
NUDGE
The helicopter disappeared as Iggy, Gazzy, and I flew down trying to grab Max. But she was far underwater by the time we got there.
"MAX?" I screamed, panicked. "MAX?"
She wouldn't leave us… Would she?
She wouldn't desert us… Will she?
"Max?" Gazzy asked in a quiet voice. He sounded close to tears. "Max?"
I felt sorry for him. His sister and Max? It killed us all so much.
Wiping tears from my eyes I looked at the boys.
"We have to go tell Fang," I instructed, trying to sound like Max-That only made me cry harder. "We aren't a threat with just three of us."
The two didn't argue. They just turned around and flew… Back to land and back to Fang.
LATER
We walked up to the hotel door. All three of us knew Fang loved Max more then a sister. And him hearing the news at 3 a.m. in the morning wasn't going to help.
Taking a deep breath I banged on the door.
"Fang?" I asked, the door, "Fang it's us."
The door opened a few minutes later with fang in black skinny jeans and a black shirt.
"Why are you guys here?" Fang yawned then looked around, suddenly alert. "Where's Max?"
Tears that I thought stopped yesterday came back at full force.
"Fang," I wailed.
"SHUT UP!" Star barked from somewhere in the hotel room.
"Fang?" Maya said, walking over to the doorway. She was in short shorts and a loose pink tank top. "Why are they here?"
I glared at her.
"Where's Max?" Fang asked, sticking his head out of the hotel room.
"She's…" I could see with all the salty tears. I noticed that neither of the boys were talking.
"Ig, what's going on?" Fang asked, instantly forgetting me. "Where is she?"
"In the middle of the ocean," Iggy said, "Dead."
HA! But wait... What about Max? COMMENT TO FIND OUT!
