Uhmmm, sooooo . . . yeah. I don't really have anything to say except R&R!
FPOV
She kissed me back. She remembered everything. She said that she remembered loving me. And that she still does . . .
Maybe this world isn't so crappy after all . . .
She pulled away for a moment, breathing in deeply. "Damn, I remember everything."
I looked at her in shock. "You do?"
She looked up at me, pure bliss radiating from her smile. "Uh huh. Everything."
MPOV
Everything came back to me in a rush. One second I barely knew what I'd had for breakfast the morning before and now I remembered my whole past life - the life that was taken from me. I remembered when I'd kissed Fang on the beach, after he'd gotten cut up from my half brother, Ari; going to the hospital with Fang and the rest of the Flock, being scared to death for him and giving him some of my blood; saving Angel from when she was lost in Antarctica; getting amazing powers, like super speed and having The Voice inside my head - all right down to me being an amazing leader for the Flock, and also having incredible wings.
Oh my god.
My wings.
"Holy crap!" I exclaimed, practically jumping out of my branch.
Fang pulled me back
down next to him, "What?"
"My wings!"
Fang looked at me, confused. "Uhmm . . . yeah, what about them?"
"Wha . . .? Are they still - do I still have them?" I stuttered.
He understood what I was talking about, then reached over and pulled up the back of my shirt a little bit. Behind it were gray, black and white freckled wings that were tightly pressed against my back. I gasped to myself. You really have no idea how happy I was to have them.
Maybe I was in so much discomfort because they were up against my back so tightly. I loosened them and relief washed over me.
"Oh, God." I muttered. I couldn't believe that the School had taken this life away from me. Being with the Flock, Fang and having these amazing wings were a life I could love.
And I know that I always will, now . . .
I smiled to myself at the thought. Then it faded, just like that. My head snapped over to Fang and my leadership took over me, "Where's the rest of the Flock?"
APOV
I could hear Max's thought's all the way from them, where they were sleeping in the woods, from here, where the rest of the Flock and I were lounging at a hotel. Fang insisted that he explain to Max what'd happened alone so he suggested that we stay at a hotel. And, come on, when have we ever been known to pass up an offer to relax? Yeah, right.
"Where's the rest of the Flock?" Max asked in a worried voice.
I wished I was there to tell her that we were fine and that she should just enjoy her time alone with Fang - because once she got back to us, we weren't leaving her alone ever.
MPOV
Wow. I was really becoming the worrying kind of person. Dammit.
Fang had explained to me that the Flock were all at a hotel just a mile or two away from where we were - sleeping in the trees in front of my school . . .
"Uhmm . . . just wondering but uh . . . why are we sleeping in my school's woods?" I asked him.
He shrugged. "I just wanted us to be alone. Like, more alone than just in a room different than the rest of the Flocks. I wanted to be with you."
I smiled and leaned in to kiss him on the cheek.
"God, I missed that," he sighed and pulled me closer again so that I was sitting in his lap.
We sat there in silence while ha played aimlessly with a strand of my hair. Then, his lips were against my ear, and he was whispering, "Wanna go for a flight?"
And, tell me, how the Hell was I supposed to say no to him?
We were flying through the glorious blue skies, swooping and diving through the clouds. Although everything in my life was a complete mess - I couldn't have been any happier than I was at this moment.
Fang flanked me on my right side as we flew towards the hotel the Flock was staying at. Don't ask me how I knew where I was going because I won't be able to answer that.
We skidded to a halt behind the large building; my hair tousled this way and that because of the frigid wind. We walked into the lobby together and then went over to the front desk.
"How may I help you two?" The manager said, looking at me mostly, his eyes traveling up and down me. He was tall but seemed about a few years older than me and was actually attractive.
I made a mental note in the back of my brain to never like this guy. Fang went silent as he noticed the guy looking at me. He cleared his throat and the manager looked back over at Fang, and embarrassed look on his face at being caught. Fang took a step closer to me and rapped his arm around me shoulder and pulled me close to him, seeming a little on the protective side. He asked for the room that the Flock was staying at and we got our directions, the manager seeming all of a sudden very gloomy and doomy after Fang was next to me.
As we jumped out of the elevator we walked down the long hallways hand in hand.
Just as I was about to knock on the door to the room that the Flock was staying at, the door swung open and there stood Angel, my baby, looking up at me with her big blue eyes. She smiled, "I knew you'd come."
So, I uhmmm still don't have really anything to say. R&R!
