Clouds were thick and heavy, sticking in my hair and dampening my face. My feathers dripped from it, and my clothes were damp. I was still barefooted, though I suppose that didn't much matter so many feet in the air.
Dylan flew next to me, beside me, with an odd posture as though he was protective of me. No, more than protective... Possesive. Fang flew on my other side, Dylan's posture mimicked in his body. He was glaring at Dylan over my head, and every time he flew over to Max, Fang's glare grew even fiercer. I bit my lip. Great. A possessive brother, and a guy who - if my sneaking suspicion was right - had a crush on me. And Dylan also seemed to want to claim Max, but clearly Fang liked Max... The war of the alpha males. The testosterone was so thick in the air I felt like I would choke on it.
As the flight continued, our mindless float on the wind, Dylan stopped trying to fly by Max whenever Fang became too protective. He just stayed by my side, with Fang watching him warily. I couldn't help but sigh in exasperation.
I watched Fang. His face was naturally set in grim determination, his face lacked the chubby cheeks that people who smile a lot tend to have. He had a stubborn set to his jaw, and the flesh below his eyes was carefully blank of emotion. But his eyes weren't so grim. They held everything about him, about his life and emotions.
"Where is your group Fang? We should try and find them before going any further. To introduce them to our... Newest member," Max said. I frowned. This is ringing a bell. I faintly remembered some old books Jen had brought me: the Maximum Ride series. I reached into thr back of my mind and pulled out the stories... And nearly had a heart attack. This was them! Those books. The last one I had read was... Angel I believe. But at the end of Angel, Ange had been unconscious... And trapped... Whoa, whoa.
"Wait..." I said. I proceeded to fill them in on my thoughts. "Explain what happened after that." And the story he said up to the current point...
Will be told in the next chapter.
