We started the half-a-mile to the bus stop, pausing briefly along the way to check her bandage. I glanced back at the woods, a small movement catches my attention. A flash of red, and it was gone. I shrugged it off as hallucination from bumping heads with Celia. But suspicion edged my mind.
Chapter 8
Fang's P.O.V.
" So, how exactly has your life been? Such a broad, awkward question I know." Celia asked.
" No it's not. Basically, we've been on the run from mad, evil scientists. A lot of drama and injuries. There was even one time when I had to go to the hospital. Ari and I fought, and I got the worst of it. Max had to give me some blood, because regular blood didn't work." Celia gaped at me, " Ari? But, he's only what? Eight?"
"They turned him into an eraser. He died months ago."
"Oh my gosh, I-I just can't even begin to imagine." Celia spluttered. " He was so little. So adorable and innocent."
" Ha, innocent. He nearly killed me, all of us, dozens of times. In the end he became an ally. And he semi-joined the flock. That's why I left the flock, the first time, with Iggy and Gazzy. Max, Nudge, Angel, and Ari all stuck together. He died in Germany, right in front of Max's eyes." I swallowed, I hadn't allowed myself to think about the flock this much since I left. Celia's hand was now covering her mouth in disbelief.
" That's terrible." Her voice shook, tears welled up in her eyes. She shifted her footing and leaned on me more. " It must have been hard."
I nodded, " It was, but, with Max, we got through no matter what. Somehow we were always the ones to get out. To escape. We couldn't have done half of what we did without her"
" Yeah, I admired her, she was always so strong, so poised. She would have sacrificed herself to save anyone of you." Celia said. The tears that had been welling up in her eyes spilled over, she made no move to wipe them away. " I missed you guys so much. I didn't even realize how much until now." She looked up into my eyes and said " Tell me something."
" Sure." I replied. I saw the bus stop looming up ahead.
" You and Max, were you guys going out?" I stopped, for a second and continued on. Celia quickly started talking again." Sorry it's none of my business. I shouldn't have asked. I just-"
I interrupt her, " We were a couple, kind of, until I-" Celia looked up at me with an anxious expression clearly written all over her face. " Until I left the flock."
Celia's mouth dropped. She quickly closed it, and said "You left the flock? Is that why your out here? I thought you were on a mission, I guess you could call it, for Max?"
I shook my head, " No I am officially out of the Flock. Besides, even if I did go back, for whatever reason, I think Max would rip my head off. And I wouldn't even blame her." We had just reached the Bus stop, I walked over to a bench and helped Celia down.
" So what made you think they were better off without you?"
" What made you think that I thought they were better off without me?"
"Well I doubt you would have left for any other reason." Cecilia retorted.
" Oh. I guess that makes sense. Well you see, Angel made a sort of prediction, about the future. Max flipped out and I reasoned with her. Then I started to see what a danger Max and I were to the flock. We didn't see anyone or anything but each other when we were near. It distracted us, disabled us. So I left."
Celia paled, " Wait so Angel made a prediction?" I nodded, " What did she say? Exactly?"
" She said that I would be the first to die, and soon. Why?"
Celia gaped, and did not recover as she normally did. She was in total concentration, trying to figure something out. What? I don't know. Why would I? It's My point of view isn't it?
Again, constructive criticism!
