Chapter 10

Cookies and Confessions

As I walked out of my room, I froze, unmoving, and smiled. The scent of mom's homemade chocolate chip cookies reached my nostrils as I sprinted down the stairs, almost falling because I jumped 3 steps at a time.

At that moment I knew what I had to do. I HAD to sneak some cookies upstairs. Why?

to get rid of the terrible, horrible, doctor stench my mom left from her equipment after fixing my wing

to be able to moan out loud without getting laughed at.

I heard Nudge gleefully shriek with excitement and clap her hands and within seconds she was in the kitchen as well.

I had a mini heart attack when I found Angel already sitting on my right and heard Iggy and Gazzy shuffling down the stairs racing to the kitchen

The look on my mom's face when she turned around and saw all of us already sitting at the bar stool on the island in a flash: PRICELESS!

I mean she almost dropped the cookies out of fright. We did get their pretty fast.

"Ella!" she called after recovering, and we each took 5 cookies to start with. "The cookies are ready!"

But Ella didn't respond. What was wrong? We all exchanged looks, except for Iggy. He nearly fell when he jumped out of his chair and glanced up, listening for any sounds of danger. What was his deal? According to Angel's giggle, she already knew.

"Ella?" Mom yelled a little louder, with a touch of concern in her voice.

"Er-Coming!" I heard Ella stutter a reply to mom. She sat down on the last stool next to Iggy. She looked as if she's just seen a ghost.

"Ella, what's wrong?" I asked her but she just shook he head and whispered: "I'll tell you later." followed by her reaching for a cookie.

Iggs relaxed and sat down biting into his cookie. He slowly chewed and swallowed, he seemed to be concentrating on something.

"You okay?" he asked Ella without even looking at her.

She nodded and continued nibbling her food. How he knew she nodded? I don't know, but he seemed to understand.

I leaned forward and looked past Gazzy at Iggy. He sensed my stare and uncomfortably and protectively said "What?"

"Nothing" I told him, in a voice a little higher than usual.

Angel giggled in her seat.

"Oh, shut up!"Iggy shouted at her and threw a cookie at her blonde curls, which was followed by a laughing shout.

"Hey! No throwing food Iggy, I trust you knew this already" Mom said. It's amusing how she tries to sound stern, but never succeeds.

The rest of the snacking was Nudge's rambling on and on about things no one remembers, for everyone drained her out after the first word. Except for Gazzy, who occasionally fit in a word or two, and Angel who seemed to actually understand through Nudge's speedy words flowing out of her mouth.

Mom announced that she'll be staying a little longer, After all, it WAS Summer, and Ella was away from school. Ella, once she was done, looked at me with an awed expression and went upstairs in silence and went straight to her room without a word. I slipped a cookie and stalked her all the way up, until I found myself almost running into the door.

"Ella?" I called as I gently knocked on the wooden door.

"Come—" she started, but by that time I already opened the door, locked it behind me, and sat down next to her on the bed.

"...In"

"Ella, what's wrong? You were acting weird just now and—"

"Oh Max!" She interrupted, as her hands flew onto my neck and she started crying as if she was about to reveal a secret, which I soon knew she was, "I'm so sorry! I could've stopped him and—"

"Stopped who?"

She looked up and whipped her tears.

"Dylon"

"Wha—"

"Before the cookies were ready I saw him fly out. He was talking on the phone with someone and he said something about experiment 1, and something about exterminating Fang! I don't think he saw me and I don't know if he'll come back! But I think he went to kill Fang! And he can't do that! He Can't! Max, I'm so sorry! That's why he wasn't eating with us, and no one even noticed! Max, I didn't know what to do! I was in such shock I could'nt move and then mom called me down and I couldn't break down the news to you nd the flock, I mean you were all so happy and so I tried to keep it away from my mind so Angel won't see and I couldn't tell you because you were just to damn happy and innocent eating your cookies and smiling and I—"

I covered my hand over her mouth, then removed them, and covered my head in my knees as I felt my face warm up and a small tear drip onto my dark pants, hopefully barely seen. God She was turning into Nudge, I heard all I needed to here; Dylon was after Fang.

Soooooo? R&R? (: pretty please? you motivate me to keep writing!

and im so disappointed that what ella said in the end only took up three lines, it took up a lot more on word, and almost the whole page in my note book...

well hope you liked it(:
