Sorry for the short chapter! I'll be leaving for Scotland soon and I don't want to leave you wonderful guys with nothing for more than two weeks! XD
This was all I managed to type in... Again, sry! =(
And thanks for all the reviews! XD I'd be nothing without you.. though I do want more reviews... *sigh* lols.
To Toxic Rain42: Yes, sadly, I did. But what's Maximum Ride without giving Angel a new power in every new story? =)
To SeekDreamsAndFindHope: Sry, Ignore this if you dun't want to read my pointless question. But i'm curious. Do you start all of your reviews with "Wow. Um. Er. Wow" ? Sry if you think I'm being rude, but i saw one of your other reviews with the same sentence. And thanks for the review anyway! XD
Disclaimer: Apparently I don't own Maximum Ride. Don't ask me why, ask that weird guy over there who says he's James Patterson.
"Are you sure? Are you extremely, totally, really, really, confirmatably sure?" Nudge squeaked.
"Confirmatably isn't a word," Total muttered.
"I don't know… It was a dream, yet not quite a dream… It felt real," Angel sniffed.
Iggy felt somewhat inferior. Angel kept getting powers after powers but he just stayed helplessly blind. Sure, he got some powers, but when he compared hers to his, his was like a grenade to a battleship. Like, which is better, being able to sense colours or mind reading and precognition? You don't even need to ask. It was a fact.
"In a dreamlike way," Angel added after a pause.
"And the line between reality and dreams blurs," Iggy whispered ominously.
"Stop that, Iggy. This isn't the time," Gazzy muttered.
Iggy frowned, concerned about his best pal. Ever since Max was taken, Gazzy just wasn't the same anymore. He didn't laugh that much and that mischievous tone in his voice were gone. Heck, he didn't even touch any bombs, not even the blue-prints!
"Are you sure you didn't see anything else?" Fang asked anxiously.
"I told you four times already. I was dreaming about Total flying beside me with large black wings," Angel recounted. Total grunted in approval.
"Then suddenly I saw Max floating in a green tank with a hospital-like dress on. I could hear people muttering stuff in the background but the scene changed too quickly for me to catch it. Then it switched to this close-up of a heart-monitor. The heart rate was similar to ours, so I thought it was probably Max's. Then there was this loud beep and Max's heart rate started going faster and faster and faster…"
Angel stopped abruptly and gave a despairing sound.
"Go on," Iggy urged.
"Then it just…stopped," Angel whispered hoarsely.
It was silent except for Angel's choked sobs. Iggy suddenly felt cold.
"I'm going for a walk," Iggy heard Gazzy mutter.
There was a 'whoosh' of wings and the rustle of leaves.
Immediately, the place felt considerably emptier.
"It's alright Iggy. He'll be back. You'll see," Fang said, but Iggy could tell he was more concerned about Max.
"No, I can't," Iggy said bitterly and jumped down from the branch.
"Iggy, "Nudge called.
Iggy ignored her and continued walking.
A hand grabbed his shoulder. It was Fang. He could tell from the feel and the colour.
"I know it's hard but Max's absence shouldn't break us all up like that," Fang said gently. "I know you know it hit me harder than everyone else."
Iggy's shoulders slumped.
"Sorry," he mumbled. "But Gazzy…?"
"He just has to think it over. C'mon, Angel needs company. It isn't every day you dream of one of your best friends dying," Fang tried to laugh but it came out more like a strangled grunt.
Iggy smiled weakly at Fang's attempt to cheer him up. Sadly, it only managed to remind him of Max.
Once again, i'll apologise for this pathetic chapter. =(
Next chapter would probably be about Max... =)
I'll try to make it longer.. bah, I'm such a terrible writer...
R & R pls!! XD
Cheers.
