Taken
Chapter 4
"That's right, Ghost." Max complimented the boy, who's name was apparently Ghost.
I continued to stare in shock. He was her son! Wait. What does that make me?
"How's the flock?" Max turned her attention back to me.
"Fine, I guess." I replied sheepishly.
"You guess?" Max asked a hint of worry in her tone.
"I haven't really talked to them lately." I admitted.
"I seepy." Ghost complained to Max, who responded by picking him up.
"Come on, Fang." Max commanded. "He can sleep while we fly." With that, she took off running and into the dark night, she went. I of couse followed.
We flew towards the U.S. for a while before Ghost actually fell asleep.
"He's never been out of the School before." Max told me.
"Why do you call him Ghost?" I asked her.
"Like you, he can go invisible." Max answered.
"So, he is mine?" I asked my voice full of happiness.
"No." Was Max's reply. I could her disapointment in her voice. "He is, was, part of an experiment. They wanted to see what a baby of an Avian and eraser would look like."
I took a second to comprehend what Max had just said.
"Did they just inject you with stuff or…." I let my sectence trail off hoping it was the first.
"They were going to inject but the Erasers thought it be more fun the other way. They took turnes till it happened." Maxs' voice was a whuisper by the end. Her eyes had tears welling up in the corners.
I flew over her and pushed in her wings. As she started to fall, I caught her and carried her bridal style. Ghost shifted a little so that he was now curled up on her stomach.
"Max, it's okay." I tried to soothe her. "shh."
She buried her head in my shoulder. I laid my chin on top of her head and flew on not once mentioning the fact that her and Ghost combined are pretty heavy.
