Chapter 11

Angel's POV

"You are not going anywhere."

Dylan was very angry. It's like by just looking at our faces he guessed everything we were planning to do. Just by looking at him, fear took over my body. Why can't anything be easy for us?

"Where do you think you are going?" Dylan was looking straight at Max, but she wasn't the one who answer the question.

"Were ever the hell we wish to go," Iggy said as a matter of fact.

"We don't need your permission for anything," Nudge retorted. Iggy put his hand on her shoulder as a gesture to shut her up. That's when I could really see that Iggy wasn't as confident as he looked and that he still knew that Dylan could hurt us even though he was badly outnumbered.

Iggy wanted to protect Nudge no matter what. He didn't care about what could happen to him. I read his mind and the only thing he was thinking about was how to escape without us having to fight the devil himself. He wanted his family to be safe again or at least as safe as we always have been.

Dylan's face was turning red with anger. I was desperately trying to find a way out of this but I don't know why my mind didn't want to cooperate, it was as if it knew the end was near, but why if we outnumbered him?

Everyone was trying to look strong just like Max had teach us to do but the truth was another one. It was like watching a movie, at least that's how I felt, all the action was being watched by me but still I felt all the emotions. When did our life became a soap opera?

"Flock let's go," was Max's brilliant response. She tried to leave but was stopped in her tracks because Dylan was blocking the only exit.

"You aren't going anywhere without my permission." I could see that Iggy wanted to punch that smug smile out of Dylan's face.

"We are leaving to find Fang either you want to or not. You can join us but if you are going to be a burden, you better step aside or I'm going to kick your but into the next century." That voice, how much I missed that voice. That was our leader.

"He left you! Only God knows were he is, he hurt you, and you want to save him?"

Max please don't make him angry, I was screaming in my head. I tried to send her a mental message, but she was blocking me probably because she didn't want me to see how scare she really was.

"No, he didn't left me. Something else is going on and it has something to do with you." Max looked brave but she was scared, I knew it. Well me and Nudge with her new power.

"What are you trying to insinuate?" He was getting closer to Max. I tried to read his mind, but it was blocked also.

"Exactly what you heard. You are the reason for Fang's departure and we are going to find out why and where he is." Dylan was so close to Max now that if he wanted he could punch her hard without giving her time to react.

Suddenly Nudge screamed at the top of her lungs, "get away from him Max! He has a knife."

Max tried to get away but she wasn't fast enough. He still managed to hurt her arm. It was a small cut but still she was bleeding. Iggy smelling the blood tried to attack but Nudge stopped him.

"The next cut won't be as superficial. Now let's do as I say."

"How are you going to make us? Even if you are armed with a stupid knife is one vs. 5. You are badly outnumbered." Iggy was still being hold back by Nudge.

"The same way I've been controlling you for the last months."

"What, did you already got tired of playing the nice traitor and are now showing your true colors? Well let me tell you I expected you to be more like a rainbow," Gazzy said with a smirk on his face. He was trying to buy time until on of us could come up with a plan.

"Actually I was being the idiot so I could be at your uneducated level, but that doesn't matter right now." Dylan took a relaxed time and as a reaction we took our fighting positions.

No one was attacking; we were just staring at him. His relaxed attitude was making us uneasy. As hard as it may be for us, we had to accept that Dylan intimidated us. I didn't want to attack him because I was afraid that at the end he'd win and hurt me again.

Go to him, my voice spoke inside my head.

In that moment my mind went into a daze and I began to move toward him against my will. I tried to stop but what was pulling me toward him was too strong for me to stop it.

"Angel, what are you doing?" Max asked with a worried tone. Maybe she thinks I'm betraying them again.

I couldn't even answer. The voice was controlling me again and there was nothing I could do against it. I was trying to fight it but it was impossible. With every step I took my level of desperation only grew more.

When I was close enough, Dylan yanked me by the hair and put the knife against my throat.

"You better do as I say or she dies," Dylan screamed at the flock. A single tear ran down my cheek. Once again I caused my flock suffering and pushed them to make an impossible choice.

Nudge's POV

What can I say, as much as I would want to leave in this instant and save whatever is left of my family, you can't just bury all the feelings you have for someone in just one moment after so many years of friendship and sisterhood.

Angel hasn't told me why she betrayed us or what has been going on with her for the last couple of months, but still I couldn't erase all the good times we had together before or the sisterly love I had for her. I would go to hell and back just to save her and all the other in the flock.

I believe there's still a chance that she wasn't as evil as she was making herself seem. After all, the real monster had always been right in front of us and this was the crossroads of our destiny. I know that whatever decision we make today will mark everything in the future. Either we decide to fight or leave in this instant.

When Dylan saw our hesitation, he pushed the knife harder against Angel's throat just for emphasis and as a way to tell us that he had the upper hand.

"First of all, Max, tell the rest of your flock to leave."

"What?" Max seemed to get out of the daze she was in and saw that all this was a reality that we had to live with.

"Right now I don't have time for them, so let's make a deal you for the little brat. What do you say?"

A plan formed in my head. I just needed the right moment, if I used my metal powers now I could harm Angel. I just needed Dylan's knife to be a little farther from Angel's throat so I could make my move.

With Max's thoughtful look Dylan claimed victory too fast. He lowered the knife a little bit giving me the opportunity I needed to strike. I used my metal powers to snatch the knife out of Dylan's hand, cutting him with it at the same time.

He screamed out of surprise rather than pain. Angel used the distraction to detach herself from him and punching him in the face with all she had. He fell to the floor with a thud.

By the time he stood up we were already out of the door and preparing to fly. The first one in the air was Gazzy followed by Iggy, me, Angel, and finally Max.

We were out of practice, but flying came natural to us. It hurts a little bit since our wings were out of shape but we couldn't stop to complain. It wasn't long until Dylan was in the air too.

He didn't try to chase us; he just screamed something that stopped everyone in their tracks.

"Stop, or I kill Angel in this instant."

Everyone looked confused except for Iggy, recognition appeared to dawn on his face.

"You wouldn't dare," Iggy screeched.

"Just watch." With that Dylan took out from his pocket something that reassembled a remote control. "If I push the button it'll activate the virus that's implanted inside Angel's body and it'll kill her in twenty-four hours."

"Go," Angel screamed to us. "This isn't a lie." I could feel it too.

"Please go, don't worry I'll be fine. They need me they won't kill me yet; you need to save yourselves and Fang. Please…" She was pleading now. Tears were falling from Angel's eyes now. This showed us how serious the situation was.

Iggy was the first one to react. He gently pushed Max forward.

"We can't just leave her," Max screamed at Iggy.

"We'll do whatever we can to save her later, but right now things are out of our hands." Seeing Iggy's apologetic stare, Max reluctantly moved forward followed by a very remorseful Gazzy.

I also moved forward but not without sending a mental message to Angel first.

I hope you know what you are doing?

I thought she didn't hear me until I heard her low voice in my head answering my question.

I have no clue.

Angel's POV

I saw my flock leave. I know how much that decision must have hurt, but I was happy because at least they were save for now. As I turned around I saw Dylan's triumphant stare.

"Why are you so happy if you lost them?"

"Easy my dear Angel, I got you and they know I have Fang. It'll only be a matter of time until they come directly to me trying to save both of you and when they do, believe me I'll be waiting." He smiled and a sense of despair drowned me.

Then he pushed one of the buttons on the control he had in hand. I felt how my wings stopped working and how I began to fall toward earth, but I never felt myself make contact with the earth because I lost consciousness first.
