Chapter 4

A couple hours later, those were some dang heavy boulders, Angel was crawling out of a petite hole and being surrounded by hugs.
"I'm ok" she said before hugging me fiercely and I got Iggy to check her over for any broken bones but she was all good to go.
"Maaaaaaax" Oh great, here goes Nudge probably something to do with foo…
"I'm hungry, we last ate hours ago and I can practically feel my stomach eating itself all the digestive juices are like exploding in me…!"
"Explosion, hey Ig that bomb was pretty awesome not as good as big boy but on a scale of 1 -10 about a 6, we need some more chlorine or something though, although" He cut off thoughtfully and caught my eye. I was staring at him wondering how the H he makes these things and where they get the materials from but I was also trying to look stern, no bombs, my eyes were saying. I think he got the idea as he looked away towards Iggy and, after giving him a high five, sat on the floor waiting expectantly.
"Right Guys, who wants to actually go and get the food?" I looked around curiously
"NOT ME" came four bird kids responses, Ok well since Fang didn't say no he could go with me.
"Right, Iggy and Gazzy, start a fire but I swear to you if you blow anything else up I will personally hunt you down! You got it?"
Their cowering looks assured me they had indeed 'got it'
"Okay Nudge and Ange you find us a place to sit and get things ready for cooking, don't know if there is a fast food joint around here somewhere"
"Ok Max" They set to work, I love those 2.
We love you too Max
Thanks Sweetie, can you get Total to help you please?
"Total" Called Angel and he obediently ran to her side, followed by a 50 pound white mutt.
"I see Fang is going with Max" Total oh so irritably puffed
"Of course" Came the reply from Iggy "They are inseparable now, nothing will stop those 2 lovebirds" He was giggling manically and I had to use every ounce of self control to not go over there and whack him 'cause Fang and I were together, hopefully forever, but ich emotions and me are a no go.
Instead I muttered "See you in a few" and shot out of there not even waiting for Fang.
When I heard his wings flapping I slowed down to his speed, and looked at him. He had a funny look in his eye and I wanted to know why!
"S'up?" Fang continued to stare at me; it was starting to make me uncomfortable.
"You didn't hit him!" Came the reply
"No, can't do that now can I? He is right in the respect that… what did he say? 'lovebirds' and you know gonna have to put up with it, its part of the parcel of me and you. I wouldn't change it for the world" How does he do that to me? Make me say all of that by just looking at his eyes? I cannot, not talk to him. I think he knows it.
He angled closer, so our wings were beating together, and my heart was skipping beats, and kissed me on the top of my head, the only part he could reach without me turning over. I smiled and grabbed his hand. I loved Fang's hands, they looked so calloused, so hard and tough from all the fighting but they were so gentle and so caring.
"So. Food." He reminded me and I had to laugh, I completely forgot! Damn Fang and his eternal way of making me forget where I was every time I looked at him. It was then that I registered I had a sharp pain on the back of my head, so I reached over to touch it and felt the sticky substance of my blood, and lots of it. I looked over to Fang and saw his terrified expression before feeling my wings pull in and snap into unconsciousness.

Hey, yeah I know the whole knocking out thing again, but drama right?! It's starting to get exciting now, I hope anyway. It's getting easier for me to write anyhow so there is a load more to come! Keep reading x
