[I have no life! so that means chapter two! Sorry it's so short, you know how it is, perfect place to stop, and all… anyhow, enjoy!]
"Max, look!" Gazzy pointed at the Falls. At first all I saw was the shimmering water– well, falling. Then I saw why Gazzy sounded scared, not excited. There was a little girl, falling with the water.
Fang was in the air next to me before I had time to really think.
I sped towards the girl and caught her, carefully. Holding her as tight as I could without hurting her (I hoped), I flew her back up to the top of the falls, to the edge of the little bridge thing.
There was a boy, a year or two older than Gazzy, waiting there. He looked just as ragged as us, and he had tears in his eyes. I put the girl down. She ran to the boy, then turned to look at me.
She was younger than Angel, with big blue eyes and short black hair, she was only slightly less pale then Iggy, and skinny.
The boy looked up at Fang and me. "Thanks, oh crap, thank you so much!" then down at the girl. "Alley, you idiot!" he almost shouted. "What was that?"
The girl frowned. "I dropped Marcelle, but she's okay now. She just has to dry off." the girl held up a soaking stuffed dog. "I don't think she'll get a cold."
I almost laughed. She was like Angel, but less evil and younger.
"Oh, man, I owe you, you want pizza?" the boy asked as he gave the girl his coat. "I'm Conner, by the way, and" He fluffed the girl's wet hair. "This little maniac is Alley."
Alley smiled up at me. "Hi," She said. "Will you come for pizza? Please?"
"No, I don't think that's a good idea, sorry." I said.
At the same time Fang said, "yeah, Max, you go, I'll get the kids, we'll meet you the gift shop."
And at that moment the Voice chimed in, with: go have pizza, Maximum, meet some new people.
Ugh! Not this! "No one asked you!" I mumbled.
Fang made a face at me. "huh?"
"Sorry, nevermind." I told him. "Sure, pizza, why not."
Famous last words, right? Right.
