AN: well here is my 2nd chapter it's shorter than the first but I wanted to end the chapter on a cliff hanger and I also needed to do some work on the next chapter. I wrote this like 2 years ago and looking at it again I realized some parts needed some serious overhaul
Well on with the chapter
We flew over the Washington border into Oregon and later into Nevada finally after a few hours and multiple stops for Sarah she does not have the stamina we do, we crossed the Nevada/ Arizona Border and with a good two hours of hard flying. We landed in my mother's house's front yard.
My mom came out the front yard with large grim on her face. Sarah dashed away from Fang into my mother's arms
"Grandma" she yelled jumping into my mother's arms.
"Please call me Aunt Valencia, grandma makes me feel old." She said "Ella should be back from collage in a few minutes. So to what do I owe this unexpected visit?"
"Can't family and friends drop in from time to time and well you can thank Jeb for that." I said
Just then a car pulled up and a girl about 20 got out. (AN. I know Ella is younger but for the story plot I upped her age)
"Hey Max" Ella ran up and hugged me
"Hi Iggy, Fang, Nudge, Angle." She said
Sarah walked over to me "Who is that?" she asked
"That is you Aunt Ella, she is my sister." I replied
"Max is that Sarah? She has gotten so big." she said. She walked over to Sarah. "The last time I saw you were a year old. How are you?" She walked over to her and they hugged.
"Well let's go inside we have some catching up to do." Dr. Martinez
We spent a few hours catching up introducing Erin and other things. After a while Ella left the room to do some work they gave her over the vacation. Iggy left for the bathroom a few minutes later. I went to fallow him after he was gone for a few minutes.
I found Ella's door ajar and the light off
'"Ella?" I said and poked my head in to see Iggy on Ella's bed kissing her "Oh sorry I will leave now let you two continue." They broke apart so fast that Iggy slammed his head on the wall.
"Max! Why can't you stay out of other people's business," Iggy yelled at me.
"Sorry, I guess finding a good friend and my sister making out in her room I should ignore it completely."
"Max please doesn't tell anyone about this." Ella said this was the first time she spoke during the entire argument. "Please Max; Iggy will never hear the end of it from the Gasman and Fang."
"Ok, I get that you two like each other a lot so I won't interfere." I said
Fang POV
Where was Max and Iggy they had been gone half an hour.
"Dad where is Mom, Iggy, and Aunt Ella." Sarah said climbing into his lap.
"I don't know… there they are." he said as they walked into the room.
"Where have you been?" I asked
"With Iggy and Ella, Ella had some work Iggy couldn't figure out so I tried."
"You did school work?"
She shot me the bird behind her back
Max POV
The rest of the night was pretty bland. Everyone was asleep including me when the Voice decided to pop in
"Max, Max wake up.
"Voice is this Jeb or the one in my head."
"Jeb, Max your mother called me when you told her about the attack. I don't know how Gozen woke up early I…
"Did you say early, you mean you purposely tried to awake that killing machine?"
"Max we had a lot of precautions, Nano bullets, armed guards, and electrodes with enough charge to kill a bull… twice. We wanted to ask him if there were any branches of Itex still working.
"Well what happened; actually don't tell me until we come to see you in the morning OK Jeb.
"Max please understands I did not want this.
"Whatever Jeb just let me sleep please."
I just curled up closer to Fang and fell asleep. The next morning we all got ready to go to Jeb's lab.
"Mom take care of Sarah for us please. Gozen is following us and I want her to be safe."
"Why can't I go please, you take me everywhere?" Sarah complained
"Sarah there is someone from our past is coming to get us and I don't want you hurt. Please stay here."
"I'll stay with her I want to get to know her better, I know you well enough." Erin said
I heard faintly "I told you she was nice."
I turned quickly to see Gazzy whispering it into Iggy's ear. Well I guess Gazzy has his first crush.
Gozen POV
How does his prey always escape, how. Those wings, to kill his prey he must break their wings. He must first find his prey. He must go to the lab for more information. Gozen ran through the border of Nevada and Arizona. He must kill them fulfill his master's last wish.
Erin POV
After the flock left I tried to figure out what Sarah was like.
"So what do you like?" I said. Sarah was still mad that the flock left her behind so she said nothing. I looked around to make sure Dr. Martinez or Ella was not around.
"Would you like to go fly for a bit." She did not answer but she grinned and nodded
"Let me leave a note so Dr. Martinez will not to panic."
After I left a note for Dr. Martinez we hit the sky.
"So do you like to fly?" I said
"Yes" she said "Ow! I feel sleepy." she suddenly dropped like a stone a dart in her neck.
"Sarah!" I screamed and dived after her.
I grabbed her at about thirty feet, and safely brought her to the ground and felt a shattering pain in my wings and I saw the thing called Gozen and he ripped Sarah out of my hands and broke her wings with a loud sickening crack.
"Sarah I'm sorry!" I said before I passed out from the pain.
