Chapter 6
Amelia vaulted over the table despite her in broken wing, Dylan blinked his eyes not register her next movements as darted away like a mouse or insect. "What are you doing?" she flung herself in the room that was the source of the rumbling. Robin stood in the middle of the room, staring a chard dent in the wall, beside her Gazzy grind like a mad man at the smoking hole.
"The Gasman asked for a demonstration of my ability with explosive." Robin explained, looking guilty
"We are under ground do you understand how dangerous that's." Amelia crossed her arms worried giving a quick glance.
"Hey it's perfectly safe." Gazzy waved her off.
"It's your home." She glanced down sadly Robin didn't move to comforted "I'm sorry you can proceed." Amelia walked out.
Later that day Maximum fell on her bed, eyes half open, she was existed mentally and physically and she defiantly wanted to sleep but she still had one thing keeping her awake.
"Hey Max" Total hopped on the bed beside her.
"Hey." Max yawned too tired to tell him to leave.
"Had a little chat with those new girls." He puff setting up
"Augh." Max rolled over not want to talk about anything let alone that.
"Know Max they seem perfectly fine." The scruffy black dog look over at her.
"They shouldn't be here." Max mumbled into the bed.
"Yes and they know it." Max lazily glared at him. "And their home stick, but they also believe you and others can help them"
Max felt a small pang of guilty everyone in the bunker besides Nudge wouldn't give her the three the time of day. Then her tiredness sets in and didn't care once more she opened her mouth to speak as a distance ear piercing shriek erupted from outside of her door. Max shoots up fling herself into the hall, leaving the startled Total on her bed.
"What's going on?" Max started at a large crowd gathering around a small room someone had given the three outsides. She shifted her way through the crowd to see Rodin pushes the crowd back snapping sharply at anyone that tried getting close "What's happening here!" Max spoke up to the dark haired girl.
"She got attacked." Robin said in a mix of shock and sadness "She want to sleep on the floor because her wing hurt too much." Max looked over her shorter the amber haired girl weeping their leader pale yellow eyes half open and clouded "Her collar's alarm woke me and my sister up."
"The attacker blotted." Emma sobbed, trying to carry the taller girl to the door "But we found this, in Amelia's shoulder." She held out an all too familiar to Max.
"A syringe." Max said, shocked, uncomfortable at the thought of what could have been injected into the unconscious girl.
"We must take her home." Emma looked at her sister worriedly "Take her out of the underground soon so the cities can receive the distress single from the collar." Max registered what she was saying. If Amelia
"Why don't we take her to the infirmary?" Dr. Martinez made her "We can probably heal her."
"Please she means more to everyone back home than you know." Robin helps her sister lift the limp body of Amelia from the floor
"Come on." Dr. Martinez led the two a nearby infirmary, Max didn't feel compelled to follow, too tired to investigate at the time.
"Max." Nudge walked up to her worried desperately wanting to talk.
"Yeah." Max took a deep breath and rubbed her eyes, trying to get herself to focus.
"I've been thinking about it and I think when it's time for them to leave." Nudge twirled her hair.
"No" Max looked out between her fingers
"Max, feel responsible for that happen to Amelia." Nudge tried to explain "Think I can really make it up to her if just see what their home is like."
"Nudge I don't think it's safe." Max started
"Well I do." Nudge crossed her arms defiantly "I and Iggy are going as soon as Amelia is ok enough to leave."
"I think Max is right." Angel's voice cut in the cherub like girl stared at the older two "But I think we need to go Sitnalta."
"What?" Max glared at the small girl.
"The world has ended Max, yet apparently 10 cities managed to survive." Angel stared at Max's with her blue eyes "Do you think that's a little strange, like it's impossible?"
"Yes!" Max shouts trying to get the twos change mind. "It's a big trap, I can fell it."
"I don't so, what they say is genuine, and that why I can't trust them." The small blonde spoke
"How can you say that Angel?!" Nudge wined at Angel's paradoxical statement. The small girl shrugged, walking off.
"They really believe in peace, even after what has happened." Max tried to give one last attempt to change Nudges mind "They seem so" she tried to stop herself from yawning "sheltered."
"Well ok so Angels coming that make three of us." Nudge discarded Max's tired words "I'm going to go pack or something."
"Nudge" Max started only for Nudge to walk away. "Blaghr."
"There's nothing you can do to change her mind." Angel's voice penetrated Max's head.
"Fine!" Max wined by the invasion of her brain. "I'll go too."
"I'm glad you've made your choice." Robin said behind her, Max turned to see her, she looked different relaxed.
"Don't think we're happy to go." Max said using we to indicate her flock.
"It's cool at least we won't return home total failure." Rodin scratched her hair, giggling.
Max fell down on her bed, sighing at the chance to rest. She closed her eyes only waking seconds later by her bedroom door opening.
"Hey." Fang leans in the doorway "I heard you're going to go."
"I'm curious." Max said not fully awake.
"Right." Fang rolled his eyes, walking in "I'm going where ever you go." He said passive "And so will you know who."
"Gazzy?" she raised an eyebrow dogging the subject of Dylan. "I bet he'd be super lonely without Ig." She looked up at Fang his face had gotten close to her's.
"What the!" Fang jumped as the computer hummed to life bouncing on the table.
"MAX!" the black text popped on the screen, Maximum ran out of bed still tried.
"Hello? Aquarius" she typed.
"Thank goodness." Aquarius responded "I found a new plant."
"New plants." She typed back
"Who are you typing?" Fang glared over her shoulders
"I don't know they say there name is Aquarius." She rubbed her eyes.
"Like the Zodiac?" Fang blinked
"Just one and it's everywhere." Aquarius's respond "Got to go." The computer shut down.
"It busted!" Fang slapped the monitor trying to get the computer to work.
"Angel?" make turned to the door seeing the little blonde peeking in the room.
"What happed in there?" Angel spoke up.
"What do you think?" Fang asked blinking at the little physic
"Mysterious messenger?" the little girl looked at Max nodded "Amelia is waking up. I think we should question her." She offered
"I'm up to it." Fang smirked also arranged to irrigate the meatal winged girl.
"Wha- ." Max nodded
When the three entered the infirmary, it was already crowed everyone in the flock standing around the room. Amelia glancing around with her yellow eyes shacking.
"Well come back to the world of the living." Iggy said noticing her first.
"My collar…" she gripped her neck her collar seeming to have lacked on her neck tighter.
"We know, we know." Emma took the metal winged girl's hand patting it genteelly.
"Do you know who attacked you?" Nudge said taking concern.
"Glass." She coughed tears rolling down her face from pain. "White coat."
"White coat." Everyone repeated in differ tones, except Max blinking processing a thought.
"JEB!" she erupted in anger rushing out of the room dodging arms that tried to stop her. 'Where is he?' She growled inwardly running up and down the halls "You!" she corned him.
"You are angry?" he looked at her almost robotic
"Noooo." She said sarcastic, Jed continue to remain emotionless "Why'd you do it you said you changed?" Max's became enraged
"I did it to protect you to protect everyone." He tried to use a fatherly tone
"From her, she wanted peace." She almost covered her mouth rejecting her own words.
"The world would be full of peace if she had died like she was supposed to." He said with pure justification in his word making her face go red. "Do I take it you're siding with her, like the others?"
"What, did, you do to her?" she said quietly.
"I never meant to- ."
"Answer me!" Maximum screamed at Jeb's attempt to back pelt
