Chapter 6
Max's POV
The next morning, I awoke in Fang's arms. My room was pitch-black. Was it morning yet? It's impossible to tell when no sunlight whatsoever enters the underground shelter.
There is light here, and it's quite dim. The lights are powered by solar energy, so there are solar panels scattered around, and a storage box where the energy is stored. However, they are only turned on a few hours at a time, and everyone (mainly those who can fly), are outside anyway.
I untangled myself from Fang and rummaged around in my drawers for something to wear. I felt the hair on the back of my neck prickle. Great, I woke Fang up. "It's about time you got up" he said, his hands on my shoulders.
"Ha-ha, very funny." In the reflection of the mirror, I could see Fang smirking. "Now go change" I said, shoving him playfully towards the door. "Aye, aye, Captain" he replied, walking out the door.
Fang's POV
It was hard to get any sleep, so I stayed up most of the night. It was around morning time, I think, when Max slipped out of my arms. I got up too, and quietly walked over to her.
"It's about time you got up" I said as I put my hands on her shoulders. I've noticed that Max hasn't eaten much ever since this catastrophe occurred, causing her bones to become more prominent. I bet she could easily count her ribs.
I want to help her, I just don't know how. She's been so closed off lately, now I know how she felt when I hardly spoke.
"Ha-ha, very funny" she said sarcastically. Max must've saw me smirking, because she said, "Now go change" and started shoving me towards the door. I knew she was expecting a comeback, so I said "Aye, aye, Captain" in return.
Max's POV
After breakfast, the entire Flock went outside and I have to admit, we were enjoying ourselves. Gazzy was letting them rip, Nudge was blabbering away, as usual, Total was complaining about the food, and Angel was… wait… where is she?
I stood quickly and scanned the perimeter. I spotted her blond head of ringlets collecting flowers a few yards away. I began to fly towards her, and the next moment, something hit me in the side of the head so hard, my ears were ringing. I turned around, and there were two guys closing in on us.
"Angel!" I called out. And that's when the knife entered her stomach.
