Chapter 14
Fangs POV
Oh. Shit.
Flyboys were swarming in from all directions, covering every visible inch of the air space around us. We were trapped. It was either fight, or be killed. One way or the other it wasn't going to be pleasant.
They were flying towards us with a plan set onto them, I could tell, they had a purpose and that purpose included us. For some reason I kept thinking this was going to be it, it was the end. We weren't ever going to get Max back, we would never see her again and she would never see me.
I couldn't even think about it. A life without Max just wasn't possible, I couldn't live without her mentally or physically.
I was snapped back into reality when I heard Angel's voice echo through my mind.
Don't worry Fang. You can do it, I believe in you.
I have to admit, for a six year old, she was very mature. Even more mature than Iggy at times, and he's fourteen.
Thanks, hun. I appreciate the support, but keep your mind in the game at the mo.
Don't worry Fang, I'm all over it!
Her childish laugh ran through my mind, I smiled at the fact she could still be happy at a time like this. Although, sometimes it was rather worrying, but I didn't need to think about that right now.
One flyboy came ahead of the rest, looking like he wanted to discuss something. That's strange. I couldn't help but think something was wrong. Flyboys don't discuss, they just do orders.
We were trapped, circled by Flyboys, apart from the one that seemed to be the leader. He gestured to me to step forward, so I did without any further thought on the matter. The flock stayed close behind me, not wanting to be split from each other. Then the 'leader' of the Flyboys started to speak in that almost robotic way we had come accustomed to.
'You have a choice' he said whilst staying completely still, apart from the slight movement as his wings flapped behind him.
'A choice? Well there's a change.' I laughed to myself, as it was rather amusing that for once we had a choice when it came to dying.
'Yes, a choice. You either do it the easy way, or the hard way.'
'Well I can't really be arsed with the hard way, so I would rather do it the easy way if that's okay with you.' I smiled a wide grin at the 'leader' as I said that in a sarcastic tone, even though I knew it would only make sense to the Flock behind me. I heard giggles coming from Nudge and Angel. Ad least someone got the joke.
'Then if you would please follow us.' The flyboy had to be kidding, I know they were robots but they were stupid robots.
'I can't do that, Flyboy, me and my Flock do not take orders from a robot. Or anyone else for that matter.' I turned to see all the Flock trying to look brave but I could see how each individual member felt, my leader instincts kicking in a bit now.
Iggy looked ready for a fight, knowing that he was stronger than ever and raring to go. Nudge looked scared but determined. She was also stronger than ever, but I know that inside she doesn't know that. Gazzy was like Iggy, ready to fight, but he still looked scared, knowing there was no way we could win. And finally Angel, she looked stronger than the rest, she was mentally able, but not physically. She can fight, but she doesn't fight as much as the rest of us, as she uses her mind and she's only six!
And then there was Edward, I had never really taken Edward into account when I mentioned the flock. He just seemed to just drift into the back of my mind. Yes, he was an outsider but he did seem to fit in now but he wasn't part of my Flock. He looked (A/N: soo sexy, with windblown hair and topless with chocolate…no wait that's mine and my beta reader's fantasy ;) lol carry on) at the flyboys with anger in his eyes, he knew what to expect from the flyboys, I could tell, he had got into a fighting stance and was watching them with calculating eyes.
My attention was quickly diverted from my flock and Edward, as the flyboy that had spoken rejoined the main group. They were organised, boxing us in with flyboys above and below as well as surrounding us, we would have to fight our way out.
