Hiya, readers.
Wellllll, I don't know what to say, so here's chapter 7!
Note: I (unfortunately) do not own the amazing Maximum Ride series, only Hazel and the plot.
Iggy woke up to the sound of screaming.
Was it just him, or was that happening a lot lately?
Once again, he bolted upright in bed. After a short second, he realized the screams were coming from the bed next to him.
He jumped out of bed and ran over to Hazel. Another vision. Can she be woken up from a vision? he wondered. He put his hands on her shoulders and gently shook her. "Hazel?" That wasn't working. He shook her a little bit harder. "Hazel!" he shouted, trying to bring her back to reality. But she still writhed and screamed, her eyes squeezed shut in an expression of pain.
She obviously couldn't be woken up. He pulled her into his arms and held her against his chest while she screamed. Each scream tore at his heart. What did she do to deserve this? he thought angrily, stroking her hair. The white coats were going to pay for hurting her, for making her cry…
The bedroom door burst open, banging against the wall. Max and Fang jumped into the room, followed closely by the rest of the flock, fists raised, tensed for a fight. They relaxed slightly when they saw it was just Iggy and Hazel in the room.
"She's having another vision." Iggy explained. "It's okay, I got this."
Max stared at them for a moment, assessing the situation, then nodded slowly. The flock retreated from the room, Max closing the door behind them.
Five minutes later (thought it seemed like hours), Hazel went limp in Iggy's arms, whimpering in pain.
"Hazel?" Iggy whispered, stroking her hair off of her face.
Her eyes fluttered open, and she looked up into his wide, concerned eyes. When she looked at him, the memory of her vision flooded back into her mind. Her eyes filled with tears. She wrapped her arms around his torse as she sobbed into his chest.
Iggy wrapped his arms around her. "Shh, it's okay. I've got you. You're okay," he murmured, stroking her hair soothingly.
He was frantically kissing the top of her head, her forhead, her cheeks, her eyes, trying to stop the flow of tears. "Don't cry. Please don't cry." Without thinking, he placed a soft, comforting kiss on her lips. She jerked back in surprise, looking up at him with wide, tear-filled eyes. His eyes were just as wide and surprised. Finally, he spoke.
"I won't let anyone hurt you." He murmured, pulling her back into his arms. "You're safe. Everything's okay."
This made Hazel sob harder. No, it's not okay, she thought. It would never be okay.
That one was really short, sorry.
Thank you sooo much to everyone who has been reviewing my story! Again, I wanted to reply to the new reviews I've gotten:
Saiyan Danika Chapter 6
Yeah! I'd be like "yeah I saw someone what now suckerzzzz" probably not but u know rite?
Me: LOL, yeah! Hahaha. Thanks for reviewing!
igsdabom Chapter 6
Hey! When I saw that this story was an Iggy love story I almost died! I love Iggy. And, uh-hum, he's MINE. I repeat: Iggy is MINE, and there's nothing you can do about it! Just letting you know.
I don't like the sound of Higgy. Izel or Izzel sounds better.
I think that Hazel should have been a deserter from an army of rescued mutants that's controlled by a guy who can control technology. He should communicate with his soldiers with little bug things implanted in their brains and they should all wear uniforms and stuff. The technology guy should have recruited Fang to lead his air force.
I put way too much thought into this stuff.-igsdabom (iggy is the bomb)
Me: Wow, that was a long one! Lol. Thanks for the input on their couple name, I still haven't really decided on that yet. Gotta get it just right, you know? Hahaha.
Wow, you really did put a lot of thought into that idea… but that actually is a pretty good idea. Thanks for reviewing!
Read and review, please! Next chapter up soon!
