Prologue: Memories
Max's POV
Standing over me was a familiar face. I couldn't remember his name but I knew that I knew him. He had wings, black wings. They hung over me like an umbrella and I realized it was raining. His hair was dripping with wet crystals. He smiled at me. Something seemed special about that smile. I couldn't put my finger on it but it seemed like it belonged to me. That, that smile was mine to keep. I reached out my hand to touch his face. As I did he leaned down and kissed me, so gently I wasn't sure if he really was kissing me. He broke out of this kiss way too soon. Before I could whimper a protest he spoke to me. "Wake up Max. And remember me." He gave me one last kiss and disappeared. I sat up but he was nowhere to be seen.
My eyes shot open and I tried to get up. When I couldn't move I looked around trying to find the problem. My hands and legs were tied and staked into the ground. I must have struggled. I chuckled at the thought that these things were going to keep me on the ground. That's when I heard the voice, the voice from my dream.
Fang's POV
Max woke and tried to move. She looked at her bonds, which we staked into the ground, and chuckled. She must think she will get away. I stood up and walked silently to her and sat by her side.
"You really won't escape you know." I said in my calm tone, keeping my face expressionless as ever.
She, however, didn't hide her emotions. She was confused, and startled. When she turned and saw my face I saw her eyes widen in disbelief. She quickly smoothed out her expression and smiled at me. Not the smile my Max would have done to me. It was a mocking smile. As if she just won a battle and no one knew it yet. I kept my face blank as I studied her face, trying to find a trace of the old Max I knew. My search was useless. She did notice my study though.
"What are you staring at?" She growled.
"You." I said simply.
"Of course I knew that!" She snapped at me. "Why are you staring at me."
"Wasn't staring, I was searching." I replied still using my calm tone.
"Whatever your searching for I hope your disappointed bird-boy." The tone she used was the one she would have normally used on Ari.
"Angel." I called, keeping my eyes on Max. Angel trotted up. "Can you wake the others then try with Max again?" I asked her. I tried to blank my thoughts but not quick enough. She caught it.
She hid her giggle with her hand and bounced away. Going to wake the others up. I hated that she could read minds!
Angel's POV
I tried not to giggle but couldn't help it. I covered my mouth with my hand and went to wake the others. I knew Fang hated when I read minds but it was my talent to use. I smiled to myself at that. I shook the other's awake. Iggy and Gazzy woke easily but Nudge and Total weren't as easy to persuade.
"Get up, Max woke." I whispered and that got them.
They both jumped up fully alert. Before Nudge could talk Max said something. Only I caught it because she was thinking it as well. 'Wolf. Be the wolf.' That was what she was thinking. I wasn't the only one who gasped when she really became the wolf.
Max's POV
I concentrated hard. Feeling what I had the first time I became a wolf. I heard the flock gasp as I changed. The stakes snapped out of the ground as my bones repositioned. Everyone was to stunned to noticed. The fur sprouted on my arms first. The tall, dark one was the first to snap out of the awe from my transformation. He ran over and tried to hold me down. It didn't go so well.
Fang's POV
I rushed over and held her down. I wasn't doing so good. It was like watching an Eraser change except Max was morphing all the human out of her. Her face elongated and her ears moved position. The whole thing didn't last that long. She pushed me off with her paws and snapped at my face, missing by mere inches. She still had her wings which she pulled open and ran at me. Her wings were now the color of her fur, a deep gray. I leapt out of the way and she jumped into the air. The rest of the flock ran after her. I did too, but Iggy didn't. He grabbed a rock, a large one.
Iggy's POV
I reached down and felt for a rock. I could tell Max had broken loose, and knew they weren't going to catch her. I picked up a nice big one and launched it. I could here her panting and wing beats so I aimed there. Hearing a howl of pain I realized I had hit her. She fell. Crashing through the trees but still trying to fly away. She glided a good mile before she collapsed. Then we went after her.
Max's POV
I howled in pain as something hard hit my head. I started to fall. The blind one actually hit me! I couldn't believe it. I crashed through the trees but continued to fly, hanging onto consciousness by a thread. I glided for who knows how long. But it felt like forever. I landed and rolled, unable to stop. I skidded to a stop next to a cave. Barely able to move I lifted myself and dragged myself in. Pulling in my wings I hid in a small dent in the wall. Ignoring the scent of bear, I drifted into unconsciousness.
