Chapter 10
Max POV
I was flying with the flock we left half an hour before school started. We had gotten our schedules last night. We landed in the empty front court-yard.
"Where is everyone? Are we late?"
"No, your early. Are you the new kids? The 'special' kids they mentioned over the PDA?"
I looked over. There was a pretty red-head sitting on a bench outside of the school. Great! Another red head Fang can go for!
"Oh my gosh! You really do have wings and tails! I thought that was just a rumor!"
"Nope, we have additions."
Just then we all heard a loud grumble and immediately jumped up, taking flight and taking battle positions about 4 feet abouve the ground. Aaaaah, Its just a school bus. I almost dove and attacked.
The school bus came to a halt, and just as we pulled our wings back in a giant group of kids rushed up and started screaming about Fang's blog and how amazingly talented he was, etc. then the fan girls turned to us.
"Who are you? Fang are these enemies? We can take them."
I closed and opened my fists, desperately trying to keep my cool. I obviously didn't do a good job because Angel took my hand and squeezed it.
" This is my flock, and this is Max, the flock leader."
"Ugh! Fang, you are so much better than that little *****! You should totally be flock leader instead!"
I crossed my arms and felt the anger building.
"Hey brat? What did you just call me?"
A group of kids started grouping around us and chanting
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
"Did she just talk to me? Did this lame little ***** just talk to me?"
"Yes I did." I said as I rose into the air. I heard everyone gasp. Then I flew off to my 1st class. Hearing her automatically start whining to Fang. I heard Fang call after me, but I was seething and I decided to just land and walk into biology, early. I already had my books and pencils. I pulled out my i-phone and played Whack-Your-Bully. That is what I took my anger out on until Guess Who walked in? That's right! The stupid spoiled brat group.
I really wish at least 1 person from the flock was in one of my classes!
"Hey! Back off of Fang, he's mine! I mean look at you! You are just a ratchet little brat, and look at me, a beautiful, strong, and I could kick your *** in a minute."
"I wouldn't bet on that."
I muttered. She grunted and muttered to her girlfriends that she would have to teach me a lesson.
Yeah, sure.
"Free period! You can jog, play dodge ball, basket ball, soccer, or any other game! But you need to be moving!"
The gym teacher called out. I decided to jog. I jugged around the field for a few minutes. Just then a soccer ball flew at me and due to my ultra fast reflexes I dodged it and jumped into the air. I stared at the direction of the ball, past all of the gaping faces. There was the girl troop, glaring at me. I glared back at them, and dropped down, zipping in my wings. Then I just continued jogging.
Fang! Iggy! Pink!Dylan. I ran over to them and set my piled up food tray on the table. I sat next to Fang.
"How were your classes?" He asked.
"Fine, just had a few mishaps."
"What happened?"
"Nothing I couldn't handle"
Just then Brat-face and her followers walked up. She smiled at Fang, but glared at me. I smiled at her. She visibly got annoyed
and pushed her way between Fang and I and leaned her chin on his shoulder and asked him a bunch of questions. I mentally punched her in the face and 10 minutes later I had enough and stood up.
"I'm gonna go ask my English teacher about my home work. See ya"
I walked off, noticing Fang's eyes burning into the back of my head. He can have the stupid little brat for all I care! I could feel my eyes start to water, but I sucked it up and went on my way.
2 DAYS LATER
I walked to my god-for-saken science class at the end of the day. I found a note on my desk. I opened it up and it said:
You are the cutest girl in this highschool. To me, your are love itself! Please meet me in our social studies classroom tomorrow, before school…
Anonymous
Huh! Fang isn't in any of my classes, and Iggy never would have written this, so it must be ne of the boys at this high-school. I will meet him there, to find out who he is. Hopefully he is Brat-face's Ex that she is still in love with.
I flew into school as usual.
"Hey guys? I need to get some stuff out of my locker, meet you guys after school! Have a good day!"
I walked upstairs, and got a notebook from my locker, and after about 10 minutes I headed over to the social studies room. On the way I glanced at all of the classrooms. But then I stopped, one of the doors was open. I glanced in to find Fang kissing Brat-face. My heart shattered. I backed out and ran to the social studies room. I ran in to find the most popular guy at this high-school standing there, holding a rose. He had the cutest baby-blue eyes and shaggy blond hair. He looked up when I stepped in.
"Hi, er, I , uh…."
" What is your name?" I asked before he could make a fool of himself.
"Dane. I just wanted to do this."
Then he grabbed me and shoved me against the wall, and kissed me.
Fang POV
Oh my god! Is she actually kissing me?
I pushed Kyla away.
"Why did you do that?"
"So that your sister would fall in love with Dane. She walked past here 10 seconds ago."
****! No!
I shoved her out of the way and ran through the halls and came to the social studies classroom, where Max was despirately trying to shove some blond kid off of her. But he held her tight and kept kissing her. Rage stirred through me and I threw him off, and Max sank to the floor, crying.
"What are you doing to my gir-sister!?"
"Dude chill! I was just givin her what she wanted!"
"THEN WHY IS SHE LYING ON THE FLOOR CRYING?"
Max stood up and ran out of the room. I punched Dane in the face and walked out, following Max. I didn't find her anywhere, so I flew home. She wasn't there either.
Oh No! Max? Max where are you?
"Maaaax! Where are you?"
Wait! I haven't checked the meadow yet!
I flew over the meadow, and sighed with relief at the blond and purple head that was crouching down, under the willow tree.
I broke my heart to see her crying. I dropped down and hugged her, and repeatedly said I'm sorry, and what's wrong. I'm not the chattery type, but when my Girlfriend is crying because of me, I am a boom box. Suddenly I felt vibrations in the air, then Max turned into eraser form and scratched me across the face. What? Max? Then I noticed, her eyes were an erasers' black. When she turned the other day her eyes were still chocolate brown! Then she launched her self at me, I jumped out of the way, but she stuck out a claw and caught me on my arm. Pain swept through me. I wanted to hurt her, so bad, but this was MAX, whatever I did to her now would be on her she turned back. I couldn't bring myself to hurt her. Just when she was about to attack AGAIN her eyes turned back to normal. The first thing she saw was my lying on the floor 4 giant deep scratches going from my ears to my mouth. She rushed over.
"FANG! What happened? Who did this?"
Then she noticed the really deep wound going down my arm. Oh my god! That is bleeding buckets! No wonder it's hurting so much….. I started to feel hazy and feel my eyes flutter.
"Fang! Stop! Wake up! Get up! Just tell me who did this!"
"M…..m…ax, you did this….i….in eraser… Form…."
I brushed her hair back, and then the world went black.
Max POV
No.. Fang! I have to get the flock! I lifted up Fang and flew using my super speed back to the house. I dropped him on the dining room table, panic rising. I burst back through the door, flying as fast as I could to our school. I bust through the school doors and ran into the announcement room. I picked up the PA and simply said
"Fangs hurt! Assemble!"
I ran out of the PA room and waited in front of our school. The flock all came out in a group and when they saw the tears staining my face they took off and followed me. I heard the brat troup rushing out behind us.
"Wait! We need to come to!"
Brat face called out. Brat face? How old am I? 3? Besides, What did Fang mean "You did this Max"? How is that possible? I have no memory of hurting him!
We all landed, I looked over to see serious faces on everyone. I lead them into the living room and I showed Iggy Fang. His breathing was shallow, and fast. He was still out. Pink ran and brought the 1st aid kit. Then I noticed Pink. That girl is definitely pregnant. How many kids? 2 maybe? But that would have to mean Iggy… Oh my gosh!
"Iggy, Max, Fang, Nudge, and Ash know. You should just tell them. Stop being afraid."
Devil said unexpectedly, and Pink and Iggy blushed, but Iggy kept working, trying to hide the fact that he was red in the face. I smiled at Pink. Then I noticed all the young couples. Gazzy and Rain were holding hands and staring at Fang nervously. Devil and Angel were holding hands as well.
Wow! Ember is getting big! She is up to my knee! Thinking of Ember, I wonder how the triplets are doing. I felt myself smile at the thought of Storm and Night fighting over who gets to use the punching bag. Iggy finished wrapping up Fang. I returned to reality.
"He'll be fine. About 2 days to heal."
Iggy said.
"Ok, so 6 hours. Well done Iggy."
"No, I actually mean 2 days."
And everyone cracked up.
2 MONTHS LATER
Pink, Fang and I were flying to Jeb's house to stay while Pink had her kids, and for Fang and I to see the triplets. We left the others at the house and left Iggy in charge. I even gave everyone a lecture about how they had to listen to Iggy while we were gone. I would have put Dylan in charge, but he has been fascinated with this girl, so I am afraid he would do something stupid. And that girl is me. After that I took Angel and Devil to the side and told them to make sure nothing gets out of hand, because I love Iggy, but I don't trust him not to blow up something. How does Pink put up with him? I wondered. We landed just in time to see Fire blow torch a punching bag with his hands. Then we saw Night turn invisible and stay that way until she reappeared at the door. Then Storm closed him eyes and a glass floated up to him and he opened his mouth and it poured the water into it. I heard Pink and Fang both gasp at the sight of Storm meditating things with his mind. I just smiled and we walked in through the back door and heard the triplets gasp and get into a defensive stance. When realized that it was us they screamed
"Mommy! Daddy!"
And ran up and hugged us. I glanced at Fang long enough to see him smile. Jeb walked in.
"Welcome back Max! I am guessing you seek my help with Pink?"
"Yes, she wanted to come and have her kids here. Are my kids finished with training?"
"Yes, but Storm just needs to practice his levitation skills, Night needs to practice moving while staying invisible, and Fire has everything down."
"Ok, we just came to drop off Pink, and pick up the triplets. Can we spend the night?"
"How about this, Fang you leave to go back to the flock tomorrow, Max can stay here and give Pink help?"
"Sure."
"Okay, I guess."
I walked the triplets upstairs.
"Mommy? Why is Pink fat?"
"She has babies growing inside her silly!"
Night replied before I could.
"Really? Mom how did they get there?"
"ummm…. I will have to tell you that when you are older."
I heard Storm sigh. My heart melted a little. A LITTLE.
"Ok! Bed time! Get your gamies on, and I will be right back. Then we will lay down and sleep."
I walked down stairs only to find Jeb talking to Fang. I hid behind a wall and evesdropped.
"Jeb? Something strange happened to Max. I felt a vibration in the air and suddenly she turned into an eraser then attacked me."
Huh, so that's what happened.
"Well, there is a sound few creatures can make, but it drives all those who can turn into erasers crazy. I have seen it happen, their eyes turn black, then they attack the 1st thing they see. The noise can be made by a dog whistle, but you have to blow it HARD."
"Huh. Good to know."
I will kill Fang if he tells the flock.
I turned and walked into the bathroom. I took off my cloths and took a quick shower. I got out and put on a nightshirt and put on under wear and walked back into my room. When I entered I found the triplets already asleep in my bed. I crawled in and had Storm on top of me, and Night on my left, Fire on my right.
Storm looks so adorable when he's sleeping, and Night….. Where is Night? Oh, she is just invisible.
I woke up to see Fang staring down at me. I screamed and jumped back and he just laughed. I glared at him.
"Wait, why were you staring at me?"
"I'm leaving, I wanted to tell you something."
"Yeah? And that is?"
He leaned over and kissed me, taking me completely by surprise. He mumbled that he loved me in between kisses. I said I loved him to. When we stopped he got up flashed me a smile, and I smiled back.
"I love you, take care of the flock!"
I called after him when he took off.
"Mom! We need to show you our powers."
Fire called to me.
"Ok. Show me." I replied sitting on the couch. Fire created little flames on his hands, Night disappeared, Storm closed his eyes and I floated upwards. I kept my pokerface. Night reappeared and was 5 feet away from where she disappeared.
"Night? You can walk and stay invisible?"
"Yeah."
"Fang can only stay invisible if he doesn't move. Fire, Storm any other powers?"
Fang might be interested to know that he shares a power with his daughter. I miss him…. Wait a minute- where's Pink? Oh no!
I jestured for Storm to put me down.
"Mom? We all have super speed."
"Ok, have any of you seen Pink?"
"No."
They all replied in sync. I got up and walked to her room. She was sprawled across the bed, panting.
"Pink? PINK? Say something!"
"Max….Help…."
"Ok, just push. That's all we can do. Just push."
I got up and pulled off her skirt, she didn't even notice. Then I noticed. Oh no! there's so much blood! No,no,no,no,no! There's nothing I can do, She's lost too much already.
"Pink! Keep pushing!"
I saw her eyelids flutter.
"PINK! WAKE UP GET THIS DAM BABY OUT!"
I screamed, shaking her. The baby popped out. She passed out. I ran into the living room, go towels, blankets and scissors. I rushed back in cutting the umbilical cord, and only then noticing how small it was. Oh no, it might not survive.
"Pink? What's her name?"
Pink was about to pass out, looking paler by the second.
"Hope….She is hope… I know I won't survive…. Tell Iggy I love him…"
Then she passed out.
