Chapter 4: Mr Lonely

GAZZY POV

'Nudge?' I called. Hm. Nothing. Where was she? I'd looked everywhere. Max and Fang weren't here. They'd gone for another walk. They'd gone for a lot of them. Iggy was in a bad mood, so I wasn't gonna talk to him. He might blow me up. I wonder what kind of bomb he would use… I sighed and gave up my search for Nudge. Maybe she was walking with Max and Fang… I don't think she had though. She'd probably just gone to do her…erm business.

I decided to find Angel. Maybe her and Total would play with me. I saw her sitting against a kinda dead/dying tree. Her hair was falling over her face and I couldn't tell if she was asleep or not.

'Angel?'

Her head snapped up. She stared at me. Her expression really freaked me out. It looked like she didn't know who I was. It was also a bit scary … she looked evil … Then she smiled, and it was gone.

'Yeah?'

'Uh, I was wondering if you wanted to play--'

'I'm busy,' She said, before I could even finish speaking. I was a bit upset about that. It wasn't very nice.

'Where's Total then?' I asked.

'Dunno. Why would I know?' She wasn't even listening properly now.

Well, duh, because he's your dogI thought.

'I … I just thought you would … ' I said.

'Yeah, whatever,'

'Seen Nudge anywhere?'

All of a sudden, she was listening. She looked at me hard.

'Why? What's wrong?' Angel asked kinda defensively.

'What? Nothing I just can't find her,'

'Just leave me alone, Gazzy, I've already said I'm busy.'

I left, feeling like I was gonna cry. What was wrong with Angel? And where was Nudge?

ANGEL POV

God, Gazzy's so annoying. I'm gonna have to do something about him. I don't think he suspected anything about Nudge. Suddenly I felt a bit bad about being so mean to Gazzy. I got up and walked a little bit away from our campsite. I sat down again. I felt something sit down next to me. It was Total.

'Angel, what you did to Nudge was just plain bad.' He said out straight. He was staring at me, looking as if he couldn't quite believe what he was seeing.

'I don't know what you're talking about,' I said to him, my voice flat.

'She's like your best friend. You drove her crazy. You destroyed her mind. How could you? She gave me baked beans. BAKED BEANS.'

'How do you know, anyway?'

'I could feel it. What's wrong with you?'

I was sick of this. I didn't have to take this. I gathered all my mental power. I think Total could sense it, because his eyes widened.

'You wouldn't dare,' He said, looking scared.

'Really?' I said quite calmly. 'Wrong. You're wrong. You're gone.' But as I was about to strike, do to him what I did to Nudge, he turned and ran.

'Angel please think about what you're doing!' He called after me. 'It's wrong.'

I sighed. I'd get him next time. He wouldn't last.

Basically, I had a plan. I couldn't get to Max. Something was protecting her mind. So now that her and Fang spent more time together, I'd use Fang to get to her. Not bad for a 6 year old mutant bird kid, eh? I would put my plan into action after lunch…

Soon, I thought to myself, soon, I will be leader.

Goodbye, Max.

Hello Angel.
