Gone Forever

Max's POV

For the rest of dinner, everyone was quiet. I could see Angel was glaring at me, Nudge was picking at her food aimlessly, Iggy was avoiding to look at me, Dylan was stuffing his face like nothing had happened and Gazzy just sat there was a frown on his face. We were all felt as if we were missing something, and we were, but we need to fight through this.

"Ok guys. I know everything is really confusing and maddening right now but lets get fueled up so ee can head out tomorrow." I said trying to sound enthusiastic.

"Seriously Max? Can't we stay for a little longer?" Nudge asked with pleading eyes. Everyone looked up and I could tell they wanted to stay longer, too.

"Okay fine. Enough with the puppy dog eyes," I said, "Not for long though. We need to head out soon, because if we stay any longer, something bad will happen."

Everyone seemed a little more relaxed because they were talking and eating again. I would have relaxed to, if I didn't have so many things on my mind! Angel was talking with Nudge but she wouldn't stop glaring at me.

Leave. Now, Max. There isn't much time.

How am I going to make the flock leave? I knew the voice was right but I couldn't leave now. Not after I just told them we get to stay. Its just not fair.

"I am going to bed guys. Good night!" I said as the flock muttered good night back.

As I lay in bed, my thoughts grew worse. The voice kept telling me to leave and that they are coming. Who are coming, I would ask, but they would never answer. The throbbing pain in my head got so bad to where I couldn't hear anything but my thoughts. I wanted to scream my head off, but I knew that would only worry the flock more.

My body couldn't handle it anymore, so I passed out.

Dreams swept over me like a bucket of cold water. One after another nonstop dreaming.

I was walking through a dark forest that seemed to go on forever. There was a crunch and I spun around, hearing a very familiar giggle.

"Angel?" My voice echoed through the trees.

The giggle sounded again. Suddenly I dark figure zoomed by me, smacking my face with a piece of wood. My nose made a very loud crunching noise, forcing me to the ground. The figure raced by again, this time stopping in front of me. Their shadow loomed over me as they giggled in pleasure.

"Oh, Max. You always were weak."

As I lifted my face, I saw a bit of brown hair before they kicked my face, knocking me into another dream.

This time I was staring into a fire. At first I couldn't make out where the fire was, so I tried to get a closer look. I stopped with a gasp as I realized it was our house. Screams echoed through the cliffs as I saw members of my flock sprinting around.

My wings tried to flap, but I was frozen in place. I was helpless to the ones I loved-the thing I feared the most.

Fang's POV

My eyes fluttered open squinting at the suns bright rays. I looked around in fear, forgetting why I was there.

Attempting to sit up I yelled in pain, my body aching all over. I licked my dry lips, which were caked in blood. The blood I had fallen asleep in had soaked into my clothes. This time when I got up, I fought the pain and stretched out my sore muscles.

Wings ready for action, I soar up into the sky, not really caring if someone saw me or not. The clouds covered me up as my mind raced with thoughts of the flock. Max, my mind imagined how she looked at the party. She was so pretty, so clean. I want to make sure she won't forget me but after I just left them, I knew she would never forgive me.

I thought of Iggy, my best friend, Gazzy my little brother, Nudge the talking machine, and lastly Angel, an evil super genius. I thought of Dylan, who, if I ever saw I again, I would kill with my bare hands. I hated him and I know why. He took everything from me. That freaking idiot.

I shook the thoughts away. Come on, Fang, I thought to myself, it has only been 2 days, and you have already almost died. Don't go emo just yet.

I floated over building after building, thinking of the wind and the sky. Two hours past, then four. Time flew by, and It was ok with me for once.

My wings began to hurt from the nonstop flying, so I landed in a wooded area. I spotted a safe tree limb and sat there.

Resting my head against the base of the tree, I daydreamed I was back with my flock, hanging out like any other day. Iggy was cooking an amazing lunch, Nudge and Angel in the kitchen, chit-chatting away. Gazzy sat staring into the computer screen, smiling. And then there was Max sitting right next to me. I went on like that, going on through what the day would be like and what adventures we would go on.

My daydream was interrupted by the shriek of a hawk. I gazed at the beautiful bird, wondering what the matter was. Then I realized something. It was staring at me, beady eyes full of hate. Oh crap, was all I thought as I got ready to take off.
