Falling feathers

Chapter 2: Shadow

Yay. Second chappie! School is still trying to kill me, sadly.

Fang PoV:

It was getting dark, and we needed a place to land. Angel and Gazzy were exhausted and Nudge, Iggy, and I weren't going to be able to last much longer.

The flock and I arrived at two large wooden gates; the two guards on duty were snoozing on the job. Quickly, in case they woke up, we ran past them into a large village. Finding Max could wait a little longer. Right now, we seriously need our rest.


Dawn

Fang PoV:

We woke to the sounds of a heated argument.

"Max! How many times have I told you to NOT leave exploding tags lying around!"

"Uhhh… Forty maybe?"

"Max…"

Max. That name made my heart stop. I signaled for the flock to stay quiet, and looked around the corner.

Three people were walking down the street. One had black hair, onyx eyes, and a expressionless face. Another had pale blonde hair with a rosy tinge, and multiple color streaks running through her hair. I could almost imagine Nudge's mind raving about her hair. She was arguing with another girl. Max.

It took all my self-control to not run out and kiss her. Instead I elbowed Angel and pointed to Max. She got my silent message and narrowed her eyes in concentration.


Angel PoV:

I was surprised.

Okay. Let me backtrack a little. When Fang signaled me to read Max's mind, I couldn't read it. It was like there was a mental wall blocking me. I ground my teeth in frustration and turned to Fang.

"I can't read her mind."

"WHAT!"

The whole flock looked at me like I had gone mad. Which I had done once. Anyways…

"I can't read her mind. We should shadow her and see what she's doing here."


Akata PoV:

Well then…

Look who decided to show up.

I detected the flock's presence as soon as they started following us. Their skills might work on civilians, but it was no match for an ANBU. Their pitiful attempts to shadow us were, well, pitiful.

Max had told me all about the flock when we had found out that we were family. I had been beyond mad when I had figured out that they were here.

But I figured Max's revenge would be better.


Yay! Second chapter! Sorry about the short chapters. I just can't think of more stuff to put in. Any Ideas?
