Fang Point Of View
There was Sam. Standing over someone on the ground, punching and kicking them. I squinted my eyes, trying to see who it was and I found out once Sam sprung back into the air, leaving Max on the ground, lifeless. I felt my heart freeze as I flung myself to the ground, hoping, praying that the Gasman's first vision was not going to come true.
Max Point of View
To my surprise, I saw the one person, or thing, that I never thought I would see again. Max 2. I sprung down to where she was lying and watched as Erasers crashed into each other while they tried to catch up to me. It turns out that the Gasman's vision was true, just not in the way we thought.
I landed and reached out towards Max 2, taking her hand in mine. I felt around the left side of her wrist for her pulse, not sure that I would find one in her. I didn't know if she ever had a pulse. For all I knew, she could have been a robot. Luckily for me, I found one. It was quickly coming to a stop. I glanced up at the rest of the flock, seeing them taking out the remaining erasers. I sighed as I felt Max 2's vein stop beating. I felt anger sweep through me for an unknown reason.
Five figures swept down beside me, each one looking around anxiously. "Max?" Nudge asked, kneeling down next to me. "What happened?"
I shook my head, not knowing myself. I took a deep breath and looked over at the Gasman. "Gazzy? Is this what you saw in your vision?" He nodded solemnly and I saw his eyes widen as he looked over Max 2's dead body. "Angel, what did she want? Why was she here?"
"I don't know, Max." Angel squeaked out. "All she said was that she was free. She kept yelling it in her mind. She saw us and wanted to help." I shook my head again, trying to put the pieces together but none of them fit. We needed to leave. We needed to get to the center of everything.
I stood up, looking at my flock with interest. The Gasman was standing at Max 2's feet, his hand held tightly in Fang's. Angel was hugging Nudge, staring straight at me, as if trying to see through me. Iggy was hanging in the back, rolling on his heels, his sightless eyes darting around uselessly. Fang was looking at me with one eyebrow quirked up.
"Come on. We need to go." I said, moving away from the body. "We need to get half way around the world before something worse happens." I walked up to Angel, grabbed her hand, and let her lead me to the edge of the forest. There, I let go of her hand as she jumped into the air. I followed soon after.
Fang Point of View
I watched as Max lead Angel away from us, lifting her into the air, getting ready to fly away. She looked so… amazing. Even in tough or confusing times, she kept her mind set on what we needed to do. She was never distracted like the rest of us. Every single one of us could be easily distracted by something. For Iggy and the Gasman, it was definitely any kind of fire. Nudge, it was cute shoes (although I have no clue why). Angel could be distracted by almost anything cute and covered in hair (hence the whole 'Total' situation). Me, well, I can be distracted by a lot of things. Whether it was watching hawks fly or just getting lost in my own thoughts, I was always in my own world but I liked it there.
Max, on the other hand, always knew what to do. She stayed strong when the rest of us couldn't. It astounded me. She was the main thing that distracted me. She was the person that I had on my mind every minute of every day. She was the reason I did what I needed to do. She was the reason I was going to do what I needed to. She was also the reason why I was standing in the middle of the forest pondering my thoughts while the rest of the flock was flying to an airport to go halfway across the world. Oops.
I took a running start and leapt into the air, letting it whip through my wings. I caught sight of the flock, flying towards the nearest city and I sped towards them, not wanting to lose them. Eventually, I did catch up and I let myself get lost in my thoughts.
"Fang?" I heard a soft voice call out to me. I looked up and saw Iggy lowering himself down to my altitude. "Dude, you okay? You sound like you're getting tired." He said, looking at me worriedly.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I answered, wondering how Iggy could pull so much off without his sight. "I just have a headache. Nothing big." It was true. I actually did feel a headache arousing but that wasn't totally it. I was getting nervous, my hands were sweating and I felt my heart race every time I looked around.
"A headache?" Iggy asked, disbelieving. "Oh, please don't tell me that you are hearing a voice in your head too. We already have one crazy voice-hearing bird kid. We don't need another." I chuckled at the expression plastered onto Iggy's face and I felt like a weight was lifted from atop of me. I smirked as Iggy flew up to fly beside Nudge, something was with those two.
We finally reached the city where we attempted to find the airport. Once we succeeded in finding it, we entered and boarded, each one of us growing more and more nervous. I felt my palms get sweaty as I sat in my seat next to Max. She looked over at me and put her hand in mine. Her, Nudge, and Angel were all a lot calmer than Iggy, the Gasman, and I. It was probably because they had been on a crowded plane once before. To us, it was completely new.
All I could think about what I had to do when the plane landed.
it was short but it'll get longer. i promise.
please review.
