I added Fax in this chapter to please a friend of mine. It's really weak because I want the focus on Gazzy.
Gazzy POV
I'm pretty used to waking up to pain, like when I was first learning to fly and ran (flew) right into a tree, or like now when I had so many bullet holes in me that I felt like Swiss cheese. I cleared my mind so I could figure out the worst of my injuries. Okay, two holes in my right wing, and I'm pretty sure one nicked my shoulder. Groggily, I opened my eyes to a pair of piercing green eyes and long, brown, curly hair. "Oh great I'm dead aren't I?" I mumbled. She giggled. "You laugh but Max is gonna kill me… oh wait!"
"You feeling okay? Can I get you anything? Want some cookies? What'syourname?" She fired off questions faster than even Nudge could.
"Feel like crap," apparently this wasn't heaven, "painkillers please, maybe later, and you first." The girl, who I now knew wasn't an angel, blinked a couple of times, stunned I had answered so many questions.
"Well, my name is Anna," as she spoke she stuck a pill in my mouth, "swallow please, and this is my home. The road that leads here isn't even on the local maps anymore so it's pretty quiet." I started to get up wanting to check on Angel whom I could hear sleeping on the couch across from me. Ana put a hand on my chest and pushed me back down. "hey so what's your name and whydoyouhavewings?" she looked curiously at my light down feathers as I realized my wings were spread out neatly and bandaged in some places.
"I'm Gazzy," she glanced over at my sister as she stirred in her sleep, "that would be Angel." She quirked an eyebrow. It's a long, sad story." She gave me a look that in Max language would mean: Just tell me what I want to know or I'll strangle you. Seeing as it hurt to move, I started telling our tale.
Anna POV
By the time he was finished Angel(who was apparently his biological sister) was awake and looking astonished and upset. As for me, I was still trying to wrap my head around the evil scientist thing. I already knew from experience that adults ruin everything. "Wow…" I repeated for the millionth time. Words failed to explain the amazement I was captured in at the moment.
Angel's expression softened. "So what are you doing all alone in this big empty house?" she asked lightly, trying to change the subjected.
Angel POV
Anna flinched and a thousand memories raced through her mind faster than I could read. The ones I wanted got lost in the current. Painful, harsh recollections that flashed out even faster then they came in caught my attention. "Do you have a last name?" I tried again. She looked about to answer and I waited with growing impatience as something distant tried to surface. She held back. *Tell me what I want to know* I whispered in her mind. Anna's eyes became unfocussed and Gazzy realized what was happening.
"Angel that's enough." He announced with so much venom in his voice he could kill an elephant. I gazed at him in disbelief. He smirked. I could see his intentions but they didn't make sense. Why would we need her trust? Whatever, I had enough information for now.
Max POV
I stared at my prince of darkness as he typed like lighting on his laptop. His fingers beet against the keys in a rhythmic lullaby, washing away the strain and stress built into my muscles. Wait did I really just think that? I turned to threaten a certain eavesdropping mind reader when I realized she and Gazzy were still MIA. "Do you think they're alright?" Fang murmured, his voice and breath suddenly caressing my ear. I whirled around to face him as he caught me in a heart stopping kiss. Ignoring the "get a room" comments coming from the present members of my Flock I started to think. How is anyone supposed to worry with this? I pulled away just long enough to whisper, " I'm sure they're fine." At least, I hope.
Please comment, the future of this story may depend on it! Was the Fax good? Should I add more? What should Anna's last name be? So many questions!!! I'm thinking about adding a scene which will be the beginning of awkwardness between Gazzy and Ana. How should Gazzy and Angel get in contact with Max again?
