Chapter 12: TinkerBell Isn't Pleasant Too Live With.
MAX POV:
Beep, Beep...Beep,Beep...Beep,Beep!
"Ugh..." I moaned before moving my hand over my alarm and pressing the off button. I then slowly leaned up in my bed and propped myself up on the back of my elbows before reading my alarm clock which read 8:00am. I let out another moan and rolled my head back,before wondering why my alarm clock was set to 8:00am on a Saturday. I threw a glance at my door and noticed a sticky note attached to it. I slowly got out of my bed and raised my eyebrows at the sticky note before start to approaching it. How did a sticky note get on my door? I couldn't help but think before ripping it off. I then started to read the sticky note and it read
Morning Maxie,
Sorry I couldn't be here to wake you up in person, but I thought that would have been a little creepy. So I decided to break in your house instead and set your alarm so you can start TRAINING! Cause you know those powers aren't going to get stronger by themselves silly! But I will probably be by later to see if you made any process and I'll bring the books too.
Love, Cassie XOXOX
"Why, Cassie?" I mumbled, before throwing the note away. Well if your wondering why Cassie had to leave me a note that said to basically begin training, it is because last night Cassie gave me a long speech about how if you strengthen your body physically and mentally your powers will flow better. Which made me ask many questions and all Cassie told me was to start exercising more and reading old books about the other protectors, so I can learn about my past and succeed in this job. Which just made me more frustrated, so I just went home. Which is the main reason I am up at 8:00am on a Saturday. So after changing into a pair of black yoga shorts, white tank top, a sky blue hoodie, and a pair of running shoes, I decided to head out and go for a run. What I do for friends...I thought.
After about four miles I decided to remove my headphones and just enjoy the sounds of nature while I finished my run. But once I reached the playground by downtown I quickly regretted that decision.
"OH MAXIE! MRS. SPORTY! GET YOUR BUTT OVER HERE!" I slowly spun around and saw Iggy waving at me with a silly grin spread across is face. I slowly crossed the street and made my way over to Iggy before asking,
"Iggy what are you doing at a playground this early?"
"Babysitting." Iggy said cheerfully before stepping sideways and revealing a blond haired boy that couldn't be more then nine behind him. I gave a small smile at the little guy before whispering to Iggy,
"Who is this?"
"THIS MY MAXIE-PAD IS THE GASMAN OR GAZZY IF YOU PREFER! HE ENJOY'S MAKING BOMBS AND EATING BIZARRE FOODS WITH ME AND IS MY NEW BEST FRIEND!" Iggy announced and wrapped an arm around Gazzy's shoulder.
"First of all Iggy I thought I was your best friend and second of all he's nine." I said and crossed my arms over my chest.
"Well my silly jealous brunette first of all you are my best GIRL friend and Gazzy is my best GUY friend which still makes you one of my best friends. And second of all, so what if the Gasman here is only nine because he still is the best-est friend ever and can be very mature for his age." Iggy explained. I let out a soft sigh and shook my head because knowing Iggy he will be happy with anybody and doesn't care what people think. So I stuck out my hand at Gazzy and said,
"Hi, I'm Max."
"Hi, Max." Gazzy said and shook my hand with a big smile. I easily returned the smile and looked up at Iggy who seemed very proud of himself and was giving me a satisfied nod. I then noticed Gazzy lean over to Iggy and I heard him whisper,
"She's really pretty."
"I know...but don't get any ideas." Iggy said sternly before returning to his smiling self. I let out a soft laugh and asked,
"So is it just you guy's here then."
"Yup, except for Gazzy's sister." Iggy said while Gazzy nodded in agreement beside him.
"Oh really, how old is she?" I asked Iggy conversationally.
"She just turned six." Iggy said. I then started to look around the park, but saw nobody else around.
"Uh Iggy where is she?" I asked him.
"Playing like the angel she is in the sandbox." Iggy answered with a proud smile.
"YOU LEFT A SIX YEAR OLD ALONE IN THE SANDBOX!" I screamed while letting my eye's start to widen.
"Maxie, Maxie, Maxie...don't worry I have everything under control." Iggy said calmly while taking Gazzy's hand.
"Oh yeah, turn around." I said looking at the empty sandbox. Iggy gave me a small smile before turning around and looking at the sandbox.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Iggy screamed and spun back towards me.
"YOU LOST MY SISTER AGAIN!" Gazzy screamed while starting to look frantically around the park. I gave Iggy a surprise face before saying,
"Again?"
"MAX NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO JUDGE!" Iggy screamed while running in circles around me.
"Alright, Alright let's just calm down and not panic because she has to be around here somewhere." I said calmly while glancing around the park.
"DO NOT TELL ME TO CALM DOWN! YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN! I CAN'T BELIEVE I EVEN TOOK THIS JOB AGAIN KNOWING I WOULD BE BABYSITTING THE DEVIL! WHY MUST I ALWAYS MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE WHEN IT COMES TO HOT GIRLS...!" Iggy screamed before I interrupted him by slapping him hard across the face and yelling,
"GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF MAN!"
"Girl, you did not just slap me." Iggy said while rubbing his cheek and sending me a glare.
"Will you two just stop and help me find my sister." Gazzy hollered and starting searching around the playground.
"Alright Iggy you check the playground with Gazzy and I will go check down the hiking trails and see if she went down there." I said and started to walk towards them.
"How come you get to check the trails." Iggy asked.
"Why, do you want to check the trails?" I asked and turned back towards Iggy.
"NO! Are you kidding me there are wild animals out there that could kill me. Are you trying to get me killed?" Iggy said. I rolled my eye's and said,
"Of course not, I would so much like it better if they killed me and not you."
"Good." Iggy said and walked back towards Gazzy. I rolled my eye's once again and headed back towards the trails and away from the park.
After about 15 minutes I have searched all of the trails and have found no trace of a six year old girl ever being here. I was about to walk back towards the park and see if Iggy had found her, but quickly stopped when I saw a little blonde curl sticking out of a bush. I slowly approached the bush and whispered,
"Is anybody in there." I was about to stick my hands in the bush and search myself, but stopped when I heard a small voice giggle and whisper,
"No." I decided to play along with the little girl's game and sat down by the bush and said,
"I never heard a bush talk before."
"Heheheh, I'm a very rare kind of bush." The little girl giggled while making the bush vibrate.
"Oh, yeah well that's pretty cool. I'm Max by the way." I said and looked towards the tree's when I thought I heard a twig snap.
"My names Angel." Angel said.
"Well that's a lovely name Angel. How long have you been rooted here?" I asked while returning my attention to the bush.
"Oh well about three years. I had to move away from my past home in Neverland because Peter Pan kept rustling my leaves when ever he flew over me." Angel explained.
"Uhh, when I lived in Neverland I had almost the same problem with Tinker Bell because me and her were rooming together and she kept getting fairy dust on my cookies." I said with a small laugh.
"Really?" Angel asked while coming out of the bush.
"Yeah...but hey you don't look like a bush." I said noticing how now she had long, blonde curly hair and a pair of pretty blue eye's.
"I guess you broke the curse that the troll named Iggy put on me." Angel said with a smile while she helped me stand up.
"Oh really, well I guess I must still have some fairy dust on me from my last visit from Tinkerbell." I said while brushing pretend fairy dust off me. Angel let out a soft giggle and said,
"No, your just a very magical fairy too." Angel said while taking my hand and leading us back towards the park. I let out a surprise gasp and asked,
"How did you figure it out so fast."
"I'm an angel and angel's know everything." Angel whispered and looked around to make sure no one was listening. I let out a soft laugh which Angel quickly joined in with, but I quickly stopped when I felt a prickle go down my neck and I heard another twig snap. I let go of Angel's hand and whispered,
"Why not you go back to the park and tell Iggy I found you and I'll meet you up there."
"Promise?" Angel asked.
"Promise." I said and watched how Angel gave me a toothy smile before starting to run back towards the park. I then dropped the smile and turned around. I then started to scan the trees and bushes looking for a sign that someone was here, but saw nothing. I was about to turn around and head back towards the park when I noticed a shadow lurking behind a tree. I let out a loud gasp and immediately got into a defensiveness mode thinking that the shadow was like the one that Cassie created except real this time. So instead of transforming and risking revealing myself to anyone that might be lurking around, I just spun on my heel and started to sprint up the trail. But I didn't get to far because half way up the trail I felt a warm hand grasp by shoulder and start to pull me back and I couldn't help but let out a loud scream before I felt the hand cover my mouth and pull me farther in to them.
