Author's Note
This is my fifth fic, and I am really going to try to stick to this one. I've always given up on my other ones that aren't oneshots, and I feel horrible about it. I tried not to make this to cliche, and I hope it isn't. So please review, and enjoy.
That's the Way Life Works
Chapter One
Flashback:
I walked through the warm carpeted hallways and felt at home, well, maybe because I finally was. My flock was finally happy, and that made me happy. I had always wanted to give them a proper home, and I finally had.
When I say proper, I guess I mean good. I wanted to give them a good home. Somewhere friendly to come home to after school, somewhere where you didn't have to worry about being bombarded by Erasers every minute of every day. And that was what they really deserved.
Present Day:
I wiped my bloody, sweaty forehead and took a deep breath.
"You okay?" Fang asked quietly. I nodded and leaned against the curved stone wall. Fang sat down next to me and it was silent for a minute. It was usually quiet now that the Flock was gone.
If you're wondering what that means, and you probably are, then be in the mood for a depressing story.
A few months ago, were all living comfortably and happily with my mom. We were all in school, making friends, all that normal-life crap. On the first day of summer vacation, we were all lounging in the backyard when a huge pack of Erasers flew down and started attacking us. We could usually fend them off; but these Erasers seemed insanely strong and extremely willful. We fought to the death---literally. Angel, Gazzy, Nudge, and Iggy were all killed. Fang I barely survived, with many injuries and scratches. We were healing for months in this little cave, which was a few miles outside of San Diego. Now we were fully recovered, but to emotionally scarred to go anywhere.
So here we were, barely ourselves and mourning. Sad, huh?
Author's Note
I know it was short, but it's just kind of an introduction to the story. I also know that the whole flock dying is a cliche under the category of the flock dying/leaving and leaving Max and Fang alone "coincidentally", but it will all work out soon enough. Hoped you liked it, and please review!
