"Yeah." He said cooly, leaning against the doorway. He started playing with a piece of my hair.
"Okay then..." I said, trying to swollow the enormous lump in my throat. "I guess this is goodbye forever."
"It's better this way." He half-smiled and Nudged me out of the door. "Goodbye Maximum."
I flew away reluctantly, tears running down my dirty face. I held Angel in preparation for our short flight. I put on the speed and just drifted away.
We were back in Colarado in minutes. The whole flock -minus Fang and Dylan- was waiting for us on the deck. All of their faces one by one turned to disappointment seeing that we were returning without Fang.
Dylan came out to greet us.
"Hey Maxy how was-" I cut him off
"First of all, don't ever call me Maxy again." I said in a soft monotone. "Second, you know exactly how it went." I said with an edge in my voice. Dylan slapped me across the face.
"No one tells me what to do!" He roared. He was almost literally fuming.I've been taking your crap for too long! You're a girl! You're not supposed to be running this flock! It should be me."
I tucked in my wings anticipating the fight.
"Now you will do what I say! All of you!" He looked at the rest of the flock.
"No." I growled defiantly. He slapped me once again, knocking me to the ground. I looked up at everyone, with my hair in my face and tears in my eyes. I was proppoing myself up with my hands. I was in no shape to fight. That hurt! Dylan was strong.
"If any of you disobey like this one, your fate will be much worse." He growled.
I just layed there. I've been spending a lot of time on the ground. Why me? Why did Fang do this to me? What did I do to Max II?
Why was Dylan made for me?
