Chapter 12

Iggy was such an idiot. Why was he throwing crutches around anyway? Fang knew that he had over reacted when he had been hit, but he needed an excuse to get out of there. The place was just creepy. It was a normal house, and Fang just wasn't used to it. He was used to sleeping in a cave, on the ground in a forest, stuff like that.

And that girl, Ella. She was just weird. She was always so happy. Annoyingly happy. Fang just didn't like her. And her mom, she was a vet! Just like a doctor. I bet she wears a white coat. Fang thought.

He came up to the cave over Lake Mead where he and Nudge had stayed for a few days. Fang landed silently and started to walk intl the cave, but the sound of Ari's voice stopped him.

"The freaks are somewhere around here. I'll need at least seven more." Ari waited as the voice from the transmitter finished.

"Yeah, there's two more...What? No. I'm alone." Ari looked around the cave suspiciously. Fang grinned. He wondered if he should leave. No, he didn't really have anywhere to go.

"Oh, I see." Ari said. Fang looked at the ground, examining their cracks. "There is someone here." Fang gasped as he realized that he had been standing at the entrance of the cave.

"Where's your flock?" Ari asked mockingly. Fang glared at him. Ari jumped at Fang, but he easily dodged. He kicked Ari in the chest, making him lose his balance. Fang took this opportunity to his advantage. He kicked Ari in the neck. Ari wheezed for air. He struggled, but managed to punch Fang in the face. Fang returned the favor, almost twice as hard. As Ari groaned painfully, Fang jumped off the cliff. He snapped out his wings and flew off, leaving Ari screaming commands into his transmitter.

Fang didn't come back that night, and I was worried about him. Ok, I knew Fang was mad, but he couldn't be that mad. Maybe something else was bothering him. Or maybe he was attacked by erasers. I tried to shut down the thought, but couldn't. What if he was lying on the ground, in pain, almost dead!

"What If he's not?" Angel came up beside me. I put my arm around her. "What if he's in a safe place? Or maybe he's still flying?"

"Maybe," I said, trying to make myself believe those words. "Angel, you should be asleep."

"Ok, Max." She hugged me tightly, and then she went to go lay down. I felt tired, but I couldn't go to sleep. I had to wait for Fang, when he came back. I could wait on the couch. I thought. I laid down on the couch. It was so soft, and comfy. I closed my eyes. I'm still waiting, Fang. I thought sleepily. You might want to hurry up, I think I might fall asleep soon. I'm getting kinda tired...

Fang woke up the next morning on the ground, next to a patch of wild strawberries. That's weird, He thought. I don't remember landing. His body was sore all over. He groaned, realizing what had happened. I fell asleep while I was flying! He thought urgently. How could that have happened? He nervously checked to see if he had any broken bones. Amazingly, he didn't. Fang started flying. He didn't want anyone to see him, if there were people down there. He looked up to see where he was going, and he was shocked by what he saw. There, right in front of him, was a house shaped like an E, turned on its side. It was the flock's old house.

Fang just couldn't believe he was in his old room. Thing's were exactly the same. His bed was a mess, black tee shirts covered the floor, the carpet was stained with soda...

He walked into the kitchen, which looked like a tornado had hit it. Cereal crunched under his feet. He looked down. Frootios. Fang saw a pile of wires on the table. He examined them, trying to figure out where they'd come from. Then he saw the speaker of his stereo, although it didn't really look like a speaker anymore.

"My stereo?" Fang said out loud. "He took apart my stereo?" He saw a little memo pad next to all the wires. Fang looked at it with interest

Objectives:

1.) Make firebombs- for our protection only.

2.) Blow up demonic erasers when they return.

He almost laughed at the second one.Iggy and the Gasman actually blew up erasers? He wished he could have seen that.

A/N: I updated fast peoples, see? Yeah, so this chapter is pretty long, in my opinion, I don't really like it though. I am not expecting the best reviews for this chapter. Oh, well. I like getting reviews anyway. Even flames are welcome, just as long as I get the review I'm good.
