Chapter 2

Fang's P.O.V.

In a second, I was in my fighting stance, ready to protect the Flock. I was sure they had a plan in mind, since they haven't shown up for days.

"How are you doing, my birdies?" an alluring voice asked. Of course it was the leader of the pack. Of course it was Ari. "Surprise! Excited for your death, once and for all?" He said menacingly.

Then, something I didn't expect happened. The power went out, and Ari's laugh echoed through the room.

"You didn't know that was going to happen, did you? You always thought you were the best." snarled Ari.

I felt claws attacking me, and I knew they had transformed. In the midst of the fight, I heard a fluttering of wings, and then saw Angel and Gazzy's silhouettes against the city's lights downtown. I saw 3 Erasers pursuing them, but they flew away before their claws touched them.

Nudge was boasting triumphantly, yelling, "Aha! Gotcha! How do yo like this, smelly, ugly, flea-covered mutts? Oh yeah! I am on a roll! Boo-ya!" while flying and power-kicking the faces of the Erasers. One of them pulled through and scratched Nudge's wing, and then she also flew out the window.

Now there was only Max, Iggy, and himself still fighting. How ironic, I thought, that the 3 oldest, most experienced, and skilled members of the Flock are still being held down by the Erasers.

My senses tingled, and he knew that an Eraser was coming towards me, fast. I whipped around and came face-to-face to an Eraser who was trying to catch me off-guard. "Not gonna happen, ugly," I mumbled, and gave him a quick punch and kick in the face. The whole happy package. He crumpled to the ground, and I used this chance to fly out the window.

Just before I reached it though, a panicked voice said , "Get up, Max! Come on! Oh no, an Eraser's coming! I can hear it! Quick! Max! You're too heavy. . . . " No!"

It was Iggy. And apparently Max was unconscious.
