Chapter 7.
A/N Haha ok I have to add this, since I forgot on my last chapter. Sorry about the horrible new name for the M-Geeks but I didn't know what to call them. But do you get the joke? They're lead by Angel and there droids and…oh well whatever, you get it right? Ugh well you probably don't, but I have a stupid sense of humor! Anyway, back to the story! You know the disclaimer!
Fang's POV
Maxie was a force of nature, I soon learned. Once she got off the phone with Doctor Martinez, she sprang into action. I had no idea how she had all these medical things. Or how she knew how to use them. In all the years I had been at the School, I hadn't seen a lot of the thing that she had.
"My dad has a blood disorder. I've always taken care of him. Someday I might be a doctor." She said absently, as if she was reading my mind. She had already cleaned my wound and it stung. Now, she was on a laptop computer beside the couch where I laid. I could just look over her shoulder and I did. After a few minutes, she became aware that she was being watched and looked up at me.
"Oh yea, you bag is over here. My dad saw it and gave it to me." She said, handing me my almost empty bag. All it had in it now was a little food and the laptop we stole from the Itex. I flipped it open and went to my blog. I thought about writing an entry with a heading that said "I'm Alive!!" or something along those lines, but what good could it do? I had the laptop and they weren't really going to care about checking up now that they thought I was dead. Still, it couldn't hurt. I typed this:
News!! Important!!
Ok guys a lot has happened so I'm going to try to get you up to date while I can. I'm alone for now. The flocks ok, I think. Most major news, Angel's a traitor. We totally didn't see it coming, but it did. And I'm out of action so if you see four flying bird kids, they could probably really use some help. Max, if your reading this, I'm FINE! I'm coming as soon as I possibly can. Your moms flying out as we speak. (Or as I type) Just hang on. For any of you kids that are reading this, something big is going on, and I don't think we can do this alone. If you see anything suspicious, take action people! The world wont save itself! Ok, guess that's all for now. Fly on.
-Fang
I saved the entry quickly and closed he laptop. My head was throbbing and I felt sick again. It had been a day ago when Maxie's dad had found me. How bad could the infection be? I closed my eyes and tried to ignore the throbbing. I just barely heard Maxie jump up and run to the front door.
Maxie's POV
"Wait here, I think that's her now." I said to Fang and looked over my shoulder. He had his eyes closed and his breathing was too fast. Oh God, had I done something wrong. I raced to the door so I could explain Dr. Martinez appearance. I was surprised when I pushed the door open and saw a girl coming out of a car and toward my house. My dad was about to question her. I met her eyes and it was clear she was trying to send me a message. Something along the lines of, "Don't shoot! I'm the good guy!"
"Oh hi! Dad this is my friend," I began to say but then I realized that I didn't know her name. She looked directly in my eyes and mouthed 'Ella.'
"Ella! My new friend Ella!" I said nervously but trying not to show it. Ella was a lot better at it than me. She ran to me and gave me a quick hug. Probably what normal teenagers do.
"Hi Maxie! I hope you don't mind, but I brought my mom to." She said and, for my dad sake, she pointed to the woman, who I took as Dr. Martinez, climbing out of the car and toward us. I thought of a good alibi in my head, took a deep breath, and lied like I never had before.
"Dad, I hope you don't mind, but I told Ella that she and her mom could stay for a while. There house caught on fire yesterday in the forest fire and they have no where else to go. But you don't need to worry. Why don't you go fishing?" I asked angelically. He looked at me a little funny but then told me he'd go camping. I smiled and lead Ella and Dr. Martinez into the house.
"Where is he?" Dr. Martinez whispered anxiously. I showed her to the living room and about fell. Fang was still on my couch, but he looked deathly pale, like he was about to throw up all over the place. Dr. Martinez sprang into action automatically while me and Ella stood there awkwardly. I heard my dad open the door and I ran to block him.
"Daddy! What do you need?" I asked trying not to show how anxious I was.
"I'll just be a second sweetie, I just need my tackle box." He said trying to pass me. I moved to block him. I knew I couldn't let him see Fang this way. He'd ask questions.
"I'll get it!" I said and ran to grab his tackle box. I pushed him out the door telling him to call Carl and go camping. As soon as I saw his car fade into the distance I ran back into my living room and clutched the counter, gasping for breath. Dr. Martinez looked back at me and I could tell whatever was going on wasn't good.
"The infection is pretty bad. It hasn't been properly treated. Maxie can you get me a towel." She said sounding professional. I sucked in a deep breath, nodded, and ran to the bathroom. I grabbed a towel and gave it to the doctor who was so intent that it was kind of scary. I looked at Fang. Gosh, how could someone get that pale? He was shaking like crazy. I backed up and felt my stomach clench in fear.
"Will…will he be ok?" I asked nervously. Ella came running back in with a pale of water just in time to hear me and met my eyes.
"Mom wont let anything happen to him. Besides, he wont give in that easily." She said surly and put a wet cloth on his head. Dr. Martinez stood up and faced me.
"It's a bad infection, but I'm pretty sure he'll live. There healing rate is really fast. Maxie, I need to know exactly what you did to try and help. Did you clean the wound or put anything on it?" She asked in doctor mode. I thought for a minute. Everything seemed so hazy to me. I wasn't used to this many people. The most people who had ever been in my house was me, Daddy, and Carl. This was so new and strange to me. A social situation, extreme stress, well just the normal things that happen to get to a girl.
"Um I just cleaned it. With rubbing alcohol you know? Did I do something wrong?" I asked worrying. What if I had made it worse? But no, she only shook her head.
"No, no you didn't do anything wrong. You did really good Maxie. Really." She said coming out of her professional state and becoming motherly. Ella smiled at me and I felt oddly warm inside. I supposed all we could do was wait and see what happened.
A/N Sorry I haven't updated in forever! I've been on a serious case of writers block! And I even left you on a cliff hanger this time! Sorry! But still please review!
