Hi, I'm updating again! Now it time for that FINAL installment of 'Lauren To The Rescue!'! *Sniff, sniff*
Enjoy it!
All eyes swivelled round to look at Courtney.
"Oops..."
The loud bang from the gun was followed by an even louder 'SMASH!". This was because the bullet has shot through the window at the back of then room. And destroyed it.
It looked quiite pretty when it happened. The bullet whizzed through it, with a crack, and the glass cracked. It was a chain reaction. The crack slowly spread outwards, until most of the glass was white with the fracture. Then the glass splintered into a million shards, showering the air with thousands of diamonds.
Thankfully, it had nearly all fell outside, into the back garden. No one was near the back window anyway. This meant we were unharmed, just a bit shaken.
First thing came to mind after this event was: Get gun off Courtney.
And Fang and I tried.
At this point, the Hawks came rushing in.
"What the hell happened here?" Maz demanded to know, bursting in through the door.
"Courtney happened," I explained, trying to get the damn gun off her.
Fang was behind her, arms hooked under hers and was squeezing her left ear. I had hold of the gun's body and I was currently trying to prise her fingers from it.
Duncan winced at the thought of Courtney and a gun.
"Poor you," He said.
""I know," said Kieran. I actually think it was the first time he'd spoken in a very long time.
Courtney wouldn't give up the gun. I had one more plan up my sleeve.
The slap echoed through the room.
"Sorry, Courts," I apologised. "It was the only way you'd let go of the gun." I held away from here. I tossed it through the air to Max, who caught it and promptly took the bullets out.
Awesome! It was like we were on the same wavelength!
"Everyone okay?" Fang checked.
"Yes," Kieran, Duncan, Gazzy and Iggy said in unison. Boys can be freaky sometimes.
"Me and Nudge are fine too," Angel told us.
"So am I," announced Rachel.
Corey nodded.
"Courtney?" Max bravely asked.
"Want gun."
"You can't have the gun!" I told her.
"Want it!"
She was acting about three instead of thirteen. She folded her arms and pouted. I did what any parent in this situation would do.
I ignored her.
"Uh, guys?" said Fang. We ignored him. He was too quiet.
"Act our age, Courtney!" I told her sternly.
"Not your shoe size!" Max said, also in a stern not-to-be-messed-with tone.
"I heard that saying once, back when we were in Virginia." Nudge told us. Oh, god. She's not going to shut up, is she? "We were in the school. As in the actual, educational school, not the School. A teacher said it to these two boys who were acting like idiots. Most boys are idiots. Except the Flock boys. And you guys aren't, either. Or Justi-"
Iggy put his hand over her mouth.
"Nudge, my ears are bleeding." He told her.
"Um, guys?" Fang said a little more loudly.
"GUYS!" yelled Gazzy, successfully capturing our attention.
"What?" asked Max, impatiently.
"Fang wants to speak."
"Thanks, Gazzy. I was just wondering, where's that girl? The one that kidnapped us?"
...
He had a point.
We looked around, but no sign of her. she must have fled through the smashed window.
Damn. We need to keep better hold of our captives.
The Flock flew us home.
It's so much fun flying. The feeling of being on top of the world, wind through you hair, great views.
I want wings.
Actually, if they come with the price of living on the run, fighting for your life and getting kidnapped by obssessive fans, I'm alright.
The Flock landed at our door. Man, was this going to ba an akward goodbye.
"So..." Max began.
"So..." I replied.
"I guess this is goodbye."
"I guess so."
We smiled at each other.
"Hold on," I instructed her. I ran into the house and picked up a pen. Quickly writing down my phone number, I ripped the page out my notebook and went back outside.
"Here," I said, handing over the piece of paper.
"What is it?" asked Max.
"My cell phone number."
"Thanks." She smiled at me and I smiled back.
Nudge and Courtney exchanged numbers, along with Duncan and Gazzy, Iggy and Kieran and Corey and Fang. Niether Rachel or Angel had a phone.
The Flock were about to leave, when Max did something unexpected.
"Thank you." She told me. "For "You saved me for that lunatic and released me and my Flock. I'll always remember you guys."
"Thanks, Max." I told her, and gave her the most genuine and sincere smile. We both nodded at eacher other.
"Good bye, guys."
The next few minutes were full of goodbyes and hugs.
"Bye, Max." I said.
"Bye, Lauren." Max said, then took off. The rest of the Flock followed.
They looked so beautiful flying, wings beating softly. Just beautiful.
It was only after they left that I realised it was the first time Max had said my name.
But hopefully wouldn't be the last.
There you go! My first complete multi-chapter story! Hope you liked it.
Techinically, the competion ended yesterday, but I didn't get a chance to update until today.
