Chapter 10
Fang's P.O.V.
We rested a couple of times (and I'm not going to tell you where, 'cause what if you're one of Them?), but we didn't dare get into a restaurant. It was just a too public place, and I'm sure the news of 'Six Flying Children' would spread around the world, fast. So, instead, we caught some rabbits, and Katie found some herbs or whatever in the ravine we were in, (after Iggy had inspected the place and said, and I quote, 'a terrible, unsuitable place for his cooking skills to flourish'.) and she did something to it to make it taste kind of like chicken.
"Fang?"
I looked over and saw two rabbit/chicken kabobs in Katie's hands. "Angel and Gazzy got one more rabbit while you were resting."
I wasn't concerned about Angel and Gazzy going off alone together, since Angel could just make the rabbits practically leap into her hands.
"Thanks." I took one of them, grateful that they had went to get more. I was still really hungry after the first one, but I didn't want to mention it.
"Where are we going?" Katie asked. "I mean, like, when are we going to arrive?"
I had no answer to that. I didn't know when we were going to arrive, but the School was in California. That's where the School was when we had went to get Angel a couple months ago. Except it felt like a couple years ago.
"California," I said brusquely, then got up to lie down somewhere, to make plans. I don't why I had felt that way about Katie, before, since I barely knew her. The only person that made me feel like that before was . . . . . Max.
God, I miss her so much, I thought when I had found some shade down at the bottom of a tree. I brushed some rocks out of the way, then lay down. What if something had happened to her already? What if they dissected her brain or something? I thought, worried. Then I made a oath. I was going to get her tomorrow, to bring her back, safe. We couldn't waste any time, not if we wanted her to be with us, again.
I got up, a plan spinning through my mind. "Guys? Flock meeting." I called to the rest of the Flock. They hurriedly shuffled towards me, waiting for instructions. "We're leaving. Now."
None of them whined, or pleaded to stay longer, or anything. They knew this was important, more important than their comfortableness. "I'll give you the instructions when we're up in the air." Immediately they all rose, including me.
"So Katie, Iggy, and I go into the building first, then you guys," I said, gesturing to the younger Flock-members. "You'll wait 30 seconds before going in. Got it?" They all bobbed their heads.
So I went on. "When we get through the whitecoats, we immediately get Max. No exceptions. Only Max. We don't have time for others." They all bobbed their heads again.
"If Iggy gives the signal, before you guys come in, get away from the School, from California." Once again, bobbed heads were my reply.
"'Kay then," giving one last look at the whole Flock, took a deep breath, and dived towards the School.
