Broken Wings
Ch 2
I opened my eyes slowly, squinting at the bright light reflecting off of the white walls. I began to panic; I was on a cold metal table with an I.V. in my arm. I couldn't remember how I got here, much less why I was here.
There was a knock on the door and a tall strawberry blonde haired boy around my age walked in holding a tray with a plate of lasagna, a fork, and a glass of milk on it.
"I figured we would be hungry when you wake up, so I brought you some food from home." I sat up and he handed me the tray of food gently.
"Th…thank you…" I trialed off, I picked up the fork and took a tiny bite of the lasagna, testing it to see if it had poison or something… it was probably unnecessary but I was a bit paranoid. It didn't have anything in it so I started taking bigger bites; I thought to myself that this is seriously the best lasagna I have ever eaten.
After I finished I looked up to see the boy still standing there, he was watching me, sort of, his face was in my direction but his eyes were slightly a bit too high and he was smiling softly.
"I take it you liked it?" He said.
"Yeah, actually it was amazing." I said then chugged the glass of milk.
"I'm glad. By the way my name is Iggy."
"My name is Bree." I said to him, smiling.
A tall dark haired woman walked in the room with two younger girls, one kind of tan with curly blonde hair, the other was dark skinned with dark brown hair that was less curly that the other girls.
"My name is Dr. Martinez, I don't know if you've met the others, but they brought me to fix up your wings. You need bed rest for at least a week and a half, no less, I mean it." She emphasized the amount of time I needed it like I was going to dart out of here. "Anyways this is Angel and Nudge." She said motioning to each of the girls. "And I see you have already met Iggy." She said and nodded at him.
"Yeah…where am I exactly?" I asked a little confused.
"I'm a vet and this is my practice, anytime the flock gets hurt too badly they usually come here if they can, but if they can't I have to go to them." She said in a mono tone voice kind of hinting like I should already know this.
A loud crash came from outside the room and Dr. Martinez just sighed, obviously her patience had been tested today. She walked out of the room to go find the source of the noise.
"Don't mind her, she's a bit frustrated right now, she has had a steady stream of pretty destructive pets and obnoxious pet owners come in today. Usually she is one of the nicest people you will ever meet." The small girl named Angel said.
"She makes the best chocolate chip cookies." Iggy said randomly.
"I understand, we all have our bad days." I said and shrugged.
There was a bit of an awkward silence as they tried to figure out what they were going to say next.
"So like, how old are you?" The girl named Nudge asked curiously.
"I'm six-teen, almost seven-teen." I told her. Everyone's eyes widened, they act like they have never met someone older than them. "What?" I asked a little confused again.
"You have actually been alive for six-teen years?" Iggy asked surprised by how old I was.
"Yeah…It hasn't been exactly fun either…" I trailed off thinking of all of the years of being locked in a cage, tortured, and Ari...
The little girl Angel must have picked up on my thoughts because the look on her face changed. I almost started crying but I blinked back the tears furiously.
The door opened again and a tall girl with brownish-blonde hair, a younger blonde haired boy who looked a lot like Angel, and a tall black haired guy walked in. They shut the door behind them, the young blonde boy went and sat next to Angel and nudge who were sitting near the door, and the two older kids came and sat on my left near Iggy.
"I guess we should run through introductions again." Angel said.
"That would be helpful." I said in a weary tone.
"I'm Max; I'm the leader of the flock." The tall brownish-blonde haired girl said.
"I'm Fang." The black haired guy said.
"I'm Gazzy, me and Angel are brother and sister." The young blonde boy said energetically. He obviously has had too much sugar or something…unless he is always like that, I hope not…
"You already know me, Iggy, and Nudge." Angel said pointing to each one of them a she said their names. "Also that's Total and Akila." She said pointing at a tiny black scruffy little dog with wings and a big malamute.
"Pleased to meet you, miss." Total said and bowed his head. I was taken aback by it but figured it didn't matter.
"And you are?" Max insisted.
"I'm Bree." I said to her. Max nodded and got up and walked out of the room with Fang following close behind her.
"They will be back; she's going to talk to her mom and Jeb." I just nodded.
"If you all don't mind, I'm going to go back to sleep…I'm still pretty heavily drugged and tired…" They all nodded and I laid back down on the metal table, which by the way wasn't very comfortable, and drifted back to sleep.
Ok so this chapter was longer than I thought it would be but I couldn't find a good place to end it so I kept going :D which isn't a bad thing o: when I wrote it on paper I had max's mom come off as a little more pissed off but I toned it down to show Bree that she wasn't mean :3 and the little thing about Ari will be explained later ;D (I always have to include him in max ride fanfics :3 I just love him so friggen much :3 but he is dead in this o3o)
Anyways the next chapter might not come until Saturday or so O: I have a test in geometry and physical science which are the 2 classes I don't give a crap about and I usually write in so I can't tomorrow D: until I get home.
Look forward to chapter 3 :D
