Me: Okay, I know I said there would be more action, but this isn't it. Just Max and her thoughts.
Iggy: So remember:
Me: I own nothing.
Flock/Me: Enjoy! =)
Chapter 12:
Max's (p.o.v):
It took me a while but I had managed to get Iggy, Nudge, and Angel to get more wood, and Fang and Gazzy to get more water. I stood there with Terra all alone. I held her book in my hand, staring at the cover.
"Where'd you get it?" I ask. I don't remember the School giving us gifts. I handed back the book.
"It was a for my thirteenth birthday." She says to me. "Jeb gave it to me." I froze. Before thinking I grabbed a brush Terra must have had and started brushing her hair. Okay, I'm no a girly girl, but this was so I didn't have to really look at her. I wish her hair was longer because pretty soon all I was doing was running the brush through her hair.
"So you knew Jeb?" It sounded more like a statement then a question.
"Yes." She smipely says. I could tell she was nervous. This was probably the longest conversation I've had with her. Scratch the 'probably'. I remember how she first acted when she came. She was very shy at first, but as she got to know everyone, she lighten up. It sorta reminded me of myself. Sort of.
"Was Jeb nice to you?" I creaked at the Jeb's name but Terra didn't notice. Least, I don't think she noticed.
"Yeah, very nice. He was actually the nicest whitecoat there." She started hugging her knees. "I…."She swallowed as though it were hard to say this next part. "I was actually sad to know I wouldn't see him again." She says. I stare at her. She trusted Jeb didn't she? She just hadn't realized the truth. At first I thought I'd tell her the truth, but who am I to crush her dreams?
"Where are we going?" Terra asks suddenly. She turns and looks at me.
"Oh, yeah. We were heading for my mom's house." I tell her. Her eyes widened at the sound of mom.
"You have a mom?" She asks me. I nod yes. She turns away from me. "That must be nice. She knows you're a bird kid and accepts it?"
"Yeah, my mom's the best." I say taking in the pride. But Terra seemed not to notice my pride so I shut up on the fact.
"Max," I saw Terra looking at me. "thank you." She told me. "You didn't have to let me stay, but you did, and when I was injured, I could tell you were helping me." She gave me a light smile that seemed to warm up her face.
I wasn't sure what to do at first but then I smiled back and out stretched my hand.
"Of course." I tell her. "Your part of the Flock now." Now Terra seemed surprised at this, then took my hand. I think I'm going to like her.
Me: Where'd everyone go?
Iggy: I don't know. What happens next?
Me: You'll have to read the next chapter.
Iggy: Right, by read you mean be read to right?
Me: *sigh* Yeah.
Iggy/Me: See you next time!
