Nudge: Hello world! I'm filling in for Fang,
Me: because he's sulking.
Fang: Am not!
Me: yeah, right.
Nudge: So I'm here. Anyway, I've been reading the story and I love it! I just wish there was more of me in it.
Me: Well this is a love story about Iggy. *turns to reader* Remember: I own nothing
Me and Nudge: Enjoy! =)
Chapter 7:
Iggy's (p.o.v):
Wind drowned my ears as I pretended to listen to Gazzy but the truth is that I was trying to listen to Terra's wing movements. It didn't sound pretty. They were very weak moving. Damn, if only I could see!
"So you know how you hot wire a car and how you make a bomb….Terra, are you okay? You don't look so good- TERRA!" Gasman yelled.
"What is it?" I ask though I knew before he answered. I could no longer hear Terra's wings flap.
I started plummeting right to ground and looked up in mid-air. I was thankful the sky was completely covered in clouds. I saw Terra's falling body coming closer and closer until, unfortunately, she's crashes right into me. I held Terra by the waist until the hard ground hit me. Hard.
I opened my eyes to see that I was right under Terra, who seemed to be unconscious. I moved ever so slightly and gently lead Terra on the ground. I only I could see dammit.
Suddenly the rest of the Flock joined us on the ground.
Max's (p.o.v):
When I heard Gazzy yell, I insently swing around and looked at him. But as I turned I saw what he was screaming about. Terra was falling right out of the sky to the earth below.
Before I could say anything, Iggy dive-bombed to the ground, disappearing into the woods. We all followed and saw how Terra's falling body had crashed right into Iggy, who seemed to break her fall. We all landed on the ground where Iggy kneeled next to Terra. I looked at her and pain shook my body. Her wings laid flat and outstretched on both sides of her body. It looked painful. I quickly took off my jacket and handed it to Nudge. I kneeled on the other side of Terra and very carefully lifted her up and turned her to her side so both wings were on one side. I held out my hand and Nudge handed me my jacket. I tried hard to fold it neatly with one hand and placed it under her head. I put her head on the jacket and looked at her.
"What happened?" I ask. No one seemed to know.
"She got sick." We all looked at Angel except Iggy, and of course Terra. "Terra had been inside her whole life. She wasn't use to flying so high and for so long." Angel explained.
"Well did she know about it? Did she tell anyone?" I ask.
"She knew she wasn't use to the height, but she didn't tell anyone." Angel says to me. Great, just great. The least Terra could do was say something! She didn't have to hind it.
"She thought you would think of her as dead weight if she did." Angel said, of course reading my mind. This time Iggy's eye filled with surprise as he looked at Angel, as though wanting to hear more. "She needs help." Angel says. "She knock out really good and though she unconscious, she's in a lot of pain." Angel says to us.
"So what do we do?" Nudge asks.
"There's a small town just a few miles south." Angel says.
"But can't just leave her here!" Gazzy exclaimed.
"Your right. Someone should stay behind while we get supplies." I agree. I looked at Terra. Suddenly I feel sorry for her. She had never stepped foot outside the walls of the School. She had never felt what flying through the real air feels like until just a few days ago. Then there's Jeb. She probable trusted him. Thought he was nice. But then, why did he just let her go?
All the little ones volunteered to stay but I was afraid for any of them to stay.
"I'll stay." Iggy's voice surprised me. He didn't sound at all like himself. He was all worried sounding. That's when I noticed Iggy gripping her hand.
"Fine." I say. "Everyone else, come on." I say flying into the air. They all followed until I look back to see Angel still on the ground. I think she was saying something to Iggy because he looked at her in surprise, then turned away.
Nudge: What happens next? I got to know what Angel said!
Angel: I said that Terra- *I suddenly cover her mouth*
Me: You'll have to find out in the next chapter.
Nudge, Angel, and me: See you next time!
