Hmmm, what else? Oh yeah! Please Enjoy!

Chapter 2:

Trying To See

Iggy…

We had won our battle with the Erasers at a cost. Poor Iggy, Erasers ganged up on him and banged him up worse than Fang on the beach, I would say almost ten times worse.

I wish I knew what you meant. I want to understand. As your leader, you sister, and as your friend.

How do you see me? How do you see me when you can't see at all?

Fang carried Iggy into the cave and set him down on the cave floor, his backpack serving as a pillow. Nudge was cleaning Iggy's head wound as I wrapped up the gash on his side.

Iggy…

What did they do to you?

You haven't changed one bit. I smiled softly at the unconscious Iggy. Always so brave, you would probably fight off a thousand Erasers if you were determined to. When you're determined you make sure that you get it. You make sure that your handicap isn't a handicap.

I wish I could see what you see. In your utter darkness, what can you see? Fang touched my shoulder softly. I jerked my head up in surprise. I smiled weakly to him. Fang nodded and left towards the lip of the cave on first watch.

Fang still didn't know that I used to love Iggy with all my being. But it's not that I used to because I still do, it just kinda melted into brother sisterly love… I think.

I still don't understand what Iggy said…

There he is, a bandage around his head. I brushed away the hair that fell onto his face gently. I feel so guilty. I picked up his hand and kissed it. I had loved him for the longest time but the flame went away… I don't know when, it just suddenly disappeared.

And now I'm scared…

I'm scared that I'll never understand. I'm scared he won't wake up. And I want to know how I can see him the way he wants me to. I close my eyes and lean my head against the cave wall.

How do I see Iggy…

He's sweet and he doesn't really let anything bother him. But he's afraid of losing. Everyone gets that way every once in a while. Afraid to lose a game, a life, something. He was afraid to lose the flock and by losing us he'd lose his sight.

Iggy, don't be afraid. I'm right here.

I felt like I was back inside that Tank. So dark, poor Iggy, trapped in this darkness everyday. I shivered for a moment and went back to my little world of Iggy.

He was a lifesaver most of the time and he thinks rationally, well, for the most part. He was a hell of a cook. I grinned inwardly to myself, a half smile on my face.

I heard Total talking to Angel, Gasman, and Nudge on the other side of the cage, their voices sounded so loud to me when my senses were limited to four. I heard Fang's light breathing near the lip of the cave, five feet towards my right. I smacked my hand against the cave floor. What was that?

Vibrations…

A dark outline of Angel with Total in her arms. My eyebrows furrowed. Was this how Iggy saw? I tapped a fingernail against the rock flooring and saw a faded outline were the vibrations couldn't pass through. A rock. I picked it up and chucked it out of the cave. I opened my eyes for a moment, looking around. Light suddenly looked like a blessed thing.

I closed them again and pulled myself into my thoughts. Iggy was a trooper like Gazzy. He was almost as silent as Fang but not as dark. He was fun loving and my mischievous brother. At least… I think so.

Did my flame really go out?

I remember my heart breaking almost in two when Iggy was with that girl, Tess. And it hurt just as bad when that red head chick kissed Fang. Did I love them both? Or was it that since they were closest to me that I was over protective of both of them?

And I do love Fang right?

Of course I do… right?

Doubts are not healthy. The Voice said suddenly, distracting me from my thoughts.

I let out a bitter laugh, opening my eyes. I saw Fang turn to face me and the flocks' eyes were on me. "Sorry about that. I just thought something was funny." I gave everyone a sheepish smile. The flock turned away a few moments later except for Fang's, I felt his gaze move minutes later.

Doubts are one of the healthiest things in the world. I thought, closing my eyes once more. When you doubt, you know you're alive. You doubt in the trust of someone, doubt your entire being. You doubt the love that was given to you. Your doubt is your flaw and without a flaw you never truly lived.

You can be flawless and live. The voice replied.

I wanted to let out another laugh. At what cost? I scoffed to the voice. At the sake of losing your personality? Your sanity? Your heart? Your actual life? Voice, you got it all wrong. Flaws make the world go round. And I'm going to enjoy every goddamn flaw I have. I'm going to enjoy any flaw anyone has. Like Iggy, how he can blind and at the same time he isn't bitter about it. And Fang, so dark and serious, how he always loses to Angel's look. And my sense of judgment, I know it's screwed but at least I try.

I opened my eyes and glanced at Iggy, he was still unconscious but the bruise on his cheek was disappearing. "I'm sorry." I whispered, leaning over Iggy and kissing his other cheek. I stood up and joined Fang outside on his watch.

"That thing you thought about. It wasn't funny." Fang said, breaking the silence. He glanced at me. "What were you thinking?"

"Doubts and flaws." I shrugged. "Just because life is just so messed up." I looked up at the clouded sky. We had traveled North West, towards Seattle, we were told there were great things to see there. Only, Iggy wouldn't see it, he just had to trust us.

"We all know our lives are messed up but what made you think about it?" Fang asked. He tucked his hands inside his jacket.

"Mmmm," I began, burying my nose into my knees after I pulled them to my chest. I didn't want to tell him the voice told me to because I was already on the verge of being loony. "Iggy." I semi lied; I mean Iggy is what brought the mind into my little conversation with myself. Wow, that sounded as if I were nuts. But I'm not! I'm not there yet. "He has it harder than all of us. Being blind and all. It's a flaw," Fang looked at me odd, my eyes kind of widened at my statement. "Not that it's a bad flaw. I mean it's not his fault or anything. I mean I have a flaw; I have a hard time judging people. I can't even trust myself…"

"And I always crumble like a caged bird when Angel gives me that look." Fang nodded. "So what, we all have flaws. What's the big deal about them?"

"Imagine," I breathed, pulling my face away from my knees and leaning it against the cave wall, "Imagine being flawless. Imagine never having a doubt, never fearing anything, or have the feelings of anger. You can't live being flawless, you can't live without doubt, fears or anything else."

I fell silent, I knew Fang was waiting for more but I remained silent. I closed my eyes and thought once more.

Iggy was never really afraid, setting off big explosions, never afraid of being killed. My pyromaniac. I grinned to myself once more. He didn't care about his flaws, even during the rare times he was afraid. He was brave like Fang, he was strong too. And I wanted to be like him. I didn't want to care about my flaws. I wanted to live for the moment like Iggy did. He always lived for the moment, even if his life was at stake. Me and Fang, we think things through, letting things pass us by. I admired Iggy, being so flawless for being flawed. Again, that made a load of sense.

Iggy was just as much part of my heart as Fang was. Iggy's my first love; I may not have gotten over him while I formed feelings for Fang.

Iggy…

I heard a tap of a rock clattering against the cave floor and felt it's very faint vibration. The rock came from inside the cave, six or seven feet away towards my left; where Iggy was.

My heart wrenched for a moment. Was he alright? Did someone from the flock just throw a stone at him or did he just wake up? Why am I worrying this much? Am I still –

Another clack, then the vibration of five small dots touching the cave floor. Fingertips. Iggy's awake. Just then my heart jumped with joy.

My eyes snapped open in realization. I think know how I see Iggy…

So second Chapter down, one more to type. Yay me.

Mk, another little challenge cuz I suddenly like chalenges: Who do you see when you close your eyes?

It's a complete opinion challenge but it's kinda a serious question so if you don't take it seriously, you lost the challenge, in other words don't say 'I see candy!' or 'The drooling hunk that is Fang!' I'm trusting you guys with this challenge. Good Luck. :D (The Preview made me think of the Challenge)

Preview of the Next Chapter:

Chapter 3: What do you see?

(Max's POV)

"Iggy…" I began, how should I put this? It's a weird thing to be asking. He looked in my direction. "What do you see when you wake up in the morning?" Iggy looked surprised.

"Why? What do you see?" Iggy replied. I knew it; I had said something out of place. But I wanted to know, I really wanted to.

"I see you most of the time because you're the one who usually wakes me up for the next watch. But other times I see light of a new day." I told Iggy.

"I see you." Iggy replied. I looked at him in wonder. I was surprised to say the least. He continued, "Every morning that I woke up at the School I would always see your face. And even though I can't see now, I still see you."

"Oh." I looked away.

O.o.O.o.O
