Fang POV
I woke up in the morning shortly before the others.
"Fang, why don't you tell us what you saw last night," Angel said to me with some weird evil tone.
"Uh, I think I was hallucinating," I said to her.
"Oh, you definitely weren't," she replied.
"How do you know?" I asked.
"I remember waking up to a crack and then seeing you wake Iggy up," she said.
I decided I wasn't going to be able to keep it a secret much longer so I spilled.
"Wow," was all Nudge could say. Then we all heard laughter not to far away.
Max POV (this is going on during the whole retelling of the night before)
"Hey, Takia," I whispered, "wake up." Then I said, "Toso." A small blob of water appeared in my hand so I dropped it on his face. I then ran back with the others. We started cracking up laughing. He spit the water out and then charged at us. We all yelled, "Procea." Procea is a protection charm. It sets up a wall of the element you control unless you add an element starter in front of it. We started throwing little element attacks at each other.
"WHAT THE HECK?" Someone yelled from behind us. I looked and saw Fang coming through the woods with the Flock. I looked to the others and we all yelled the flight enchantment, "Tarwi."
We flew away but kept a close eye on the Flock.
Fang POV
I saw Max and yelled. She turned and saw us. She and her friends yelled, "TARWI!" The wings sprouted out of their backs and they flew away. I followed and was watching them, the Flock behind me.
Max POV
They were following us. The Flock I mean. We kept flying away from them when the buzzing came. We flew into a way that the walls would completely protect the Flock from the sides. "PROCEA!" we yelled.
The walls of elements appeared and then Mashera and I shared a glance. I pointed to the space above and yelled, "Shero Procea!" A wall of darkness appeared above us. Mashera pointed below us and yelled, "Maris Procea!" A wall of light appeared below us. We all were draining each time the walls were hit. Mashera and I were draining fastest. We both had two walls up and they were taking severe hits.
I turned to the Flock. "Prepare to fight," I said. Just as I began to fall. Crap. I thought. The intense concentration to keep the walls up made me forget to focus on the flight. If my wings weren't broken, no problem. Sadly, I had to use ones created by an enchantment. "Tarwi," I said. The wings appeared. I wasn't able to fight very well because of how drained I was but I was still pretty capable. That is one of the only downsides to being an enchantress, when you are drained of your energy, you can't really do anything very easily. It is like fighting after not sleeping for three days. It hurts more when you get hit and you can't focus as easily. Then my vision started tunneling. I started falling.
Fang POV
I saw Max fall and catch herself with those weird wings. She started flying again. Her fighting was sloppy, like she was really tired. Then she fainted. I could have cared less. She was a traitor, right? I saw that red eyed kid catch her.
"Mashera," he called. The blue-eyed girl turned her head, "She needs to go down."
"Got it," she said. Then the brown eyed kid turned his head.
"What's wrong with Mat?" he asked.
"She's drained Tashi," Mashera replied like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Oh," he said.
"Get Matari down and then try to help her as best you can Takia," Mashera replied.
"So she changed her name?" I asked. Of course.
"No, that is her name. Her name is Matari Koro. She didn't know that so she named herself Maximum Ride," Takia said defensively.
"Yeah right," I muttered. I saw that Takia kid dive. Wow, their in for a surprise when they realize that she is a traitor.
Then I saw Nudge. She was off to the side, her face pale.
"What's wrong Nudge," I asked. This was weird.
"Max told me to remember the words guardian angel when she left. Now I know what she meant Fang! She has been protecting us this entire time. She and her new friends have been fighting the flyboys, keeping them from getting to us. She was never a traitor," she would have continued but I interrupted.
"Yeah, like she would protect us. Listen to yourself. She hates us and wants to kill us. If you think she's so great then go join her group. I'm sure she wouldn't mind."
She flew away and dived to Max. I didn't expect that. Then I was tackled. The fight resumed.
Nudge POV
I dived to where Max was. I saw that red-eyed kid.
"Hey, I'm Nudge," I said. The kid, I think his name was Takia, looked up.
"Hey," he replied. Wow, he said just as much as Fang.
"How is Max?" I asked.
"She seems to be doing fine," he said.
"What happened?" I ask.
"Well, first, you should understand that Max is an Enchantress." I interrupted. I mean, seriously, did she know this? I'm curious.
"A WHAT?"
