Me: Oooooooo I had butterflies writing this chapter. Only cause Iggy is awesome
Iggy: why thankyou :)
Me: Just a note, I'm not going to write anything in Star's POV because she is my own character and not one of the original Flock
Iggy: Once again everything is owned my James Patterson
Me: Enjoy :)
Iggy POV
Another clash of thunder and I was pulled back as the cave mouth collapsed around me.
The sound was deafening, especially on my standards, and it took me a minute to react.
"Guys!" Max's voice sounded oddly distant, and was barely visible through the wind that had picked up.
"We're ok, I think!" I heard Star's voice from beside me. The storm sounded quieter here and I it dawned on me that the cave mouth was blocked. I tryed to move, and gave a sharp intake of air as pain travelled up my leg.
"Max!" Star yelled, hoping that she would be heard. "Get the Flock to safety" You can come get us out when the storm dies down.!"
"We can't just leave you here!" came Nudge's voice.
"Go! We'll be fine! You need to get out of the storm!"
"We'll be back as soon as we can!" Max yelled. With that, the Flock must have left, and all I could hear was the storm outside and Star's breathing from beside me.
"Iggy," she moved closer to me. " You ok?"
"Yea-No!" I gasped, as another flash of pain travelled up my leg. I felt her put one hand on my shoulder and the other on my leg. My heartbeat burst into doubletime.
"I can heal this" she said softly. I could feel she was soo close, and prayed she couldnt hear my heart trying to escape out my chest.
After a minute she took her hand away. The pain was completly gone.
She helped me up and led me to the back of the cave. Even though the wind wasn't reaching us now, it was still cold, and we were soaking wet.
Star pulled me down to lean against the back of the cave.
"And now I guess we wait" she said shivering.
"Here". I pulled my wing around her, sharing what heat I had.
"Thanks" She put her head on my shoulder.
So, many thoughts were running through my head. What made the cave collapse? Were the Flock somewhere safe? How long were we gonna be trapped here?
"I wonder what made the cave collapse?" Star said, as if she was reading my mind. " I mean, lightning isn't that strong, is it?"
"Mmmmm" I replied, extremely aware of her hand on my chest and her breath on my neck. I know my senses are stronger than the rest of the Flock's, but this was torture. I realised I could feel her heartbeat, going a million miles an hour.
"You ok?" I asked.
"I'll be fine" she sighed. " Some stuff just takes a lot of energy to heal."
It took me a while to figure out what she meant. " You didn't have to heal my leg" I said, feeling guilty.
"Tough. I wanted to. I didn't want you to be in pain. I'll be fine in a minute or two."
I reached over to where I had dropped my bag and pulled out a chocolate bar. "Eat" I ordered.
We sat in silence for a while as she ate. The wind raged on outside.
" I- " She began, but stopped herself. "hmmmm, nevermind"
"What?" I pressed, wanting to kill the silence.
"I was just thinking about something. But I think it would burn up too much energy"
"What was it?"
"I could maybe, you know, heal your eyes....."
"!"
