Prisoner- Chapter 55

There was a loud explosion behind us and the last thing I remember is hitting the wall then everything went black.

Angel let out a cough then raised her head to see the room she'd just been it completely destroyed. Her eyes widened with realization
that the other members of the flock were still in that room and she silently prayed that they were okay.

Nudge stood onto her feet, shakily and saw Angel looking at the room in horror. Her eyes were wide and already swelling with tears.

"Angel, stay right there." Nudge said walking into the destroyed room.

There was a small hole in the floor and black covered the walls. Part of the ceiling seemed to have collapsed and the window was shattered, glass lying everywhere. The bed that was in the room was partly on fire and the nightstand was broken into large wood pieces. The closet door in the room was off one of the hinges and cracked down the middle horizontally. Smoke masked the room along with small fires in various places.

Coughing could be heard inside the room, but from who was still a mystery.

"Max?" Nudge called sweeping her hand through the air to rid the smoke from her face.

There was no answer, but the coughing could still be heard. She followed it until she touched someone's arm.

"Iggy?" Nudge questioned taking a grip on the person's arm. "Iggy is that you?"

"Yeah." He choked out followed by another coughing fit.

"Come on." She said pulling him out into the hallway. "I need you to stay with Angel."

"Iggy are they going to be okay?" Angel asked quietly at his side.

"Who's still missing?" He questioned.

"Max, Fang, and Gazzy." Nudge said going back into the room.

"Crap." Iggy muttered before pulling Angel up into his arms and stroking her blond hair.

"Everything is going to be okay, Ange." Iggy whispered into her ear.

The small girl cried silently into his lean shoulder.

"Max?" Nudge yelled hoping for a response. None.

"Fang?" Still nothing.

"Gazzy?" She yelled listening intently. There was still no response.

Nudge would have to go farther into the room and find them.

"Nudge, what's going on?" Iggy called to her.

"They aren't responding to my calls." She cried back. "And I can't see with all this smoke, it's too thick to see through."

She called their names again and was met with silence.

"Ig, I'm going to have to search the room." Nudge called to him. "You and Angel should get out of here with the smoke being so thick."

"Be careful." Iggy said putting Angel down so she could lead them out.

"You too." She said taking her first step farther into the room.

RULER

"Max?" Nudge called out walking over to the nearest corner on the left.

"Gazzy?"

"Fang?"

"Call if you hear me!" Nudge said feeling panic overtake her.

Her foot came in contact with something on the ground. She looked down, but couldn't see through the thick smoke, so she kneeled and felt for whatever was on the ground.

It was a person.

She felt for the person's neck and tried to find a pulse. The person was alive.

The smoke was clear enough so she could now recognize the individual to be Max, their leader. She was unconscious.

"Max?" Nudge asked putting her hands on her cheeks. "Max, wake up!"

She was tapping her cheeks lightly.

"Wha… Nudge?" She asked blinking a few times. "What happened?"

"Ari threw a bomb in here and it exploded." Nudge explained. "You were out cold."

"I feel like I've been thrown against a wall." I said groggily sitting up in pain. "Are the others okay?"

"Iggy and Angel are waiting for us outside." Nudge said looking away from me. I could tell she was keeping something from me.

"Fang and Gazzy, are they okay?" I asked beginning to panic.

"They're still missing." She said in a whisper looking back into my eyes.

I stood up quickly and began walking blindly around the room in a hurry. I walked to the other side of the bed where Fang had been while Nudge searched the rest of the room.

I shuffled my feet so I didn't step on him and kept my eyes focused on the ground looking intently for Fang.

"I found Gazzy." Nudge called out.

"Is he okay?" I asked stopping to look around even though I knew I wouldn't be able to see them.

"He said his back hurts and his knee seems to be very swollen." She called out.

"Help him out of here and get him outside." I ordered turning my attention back to the ground. "I'll keep looking for Fang."

"Be careful, Max." She said as I heard Gazzy scream in pain probably from getting up.

Poor kid.

"Fang?" I called still searching feeling my worry become more intense as I kept searching. I thought I might throw up.

Finally my foot came in contact with something and I bent down to see if I had found Fang.

I saw his arm then looked at his face. He was unconscious and looked to have been slammed against the bed.

"Fang?" I said shaking his arm with one of my hands.

He didn't wake up.

I took picked up his hand and checked the pulse in his wrist. He had one, but it was weak. I put his hand against my cheek, then kissed it. I was starting to cry.

"Wake up." I said closing my eyes. "Just wake up."

I opened my eyes to look at his face. I brushed the hair off his face and felt myself cry harder. I couldn't lose Fang.

I laid my head upon his chest and listened to the sound of his heart beating. I closed my eyes and let the tears gush from my eyes, soaking Fang's shirt.

"Please wake up." I mumbled against his hard chest.

I silently debated what my next move was. I couldn't carry Fang out of the house, so I'd have to wait 'til he woke up or leave his side and go get Nudge to help me get him out of the house. Both seemed like bad ideas. But one more than the other. I didn't want to leave Fang's side, but I needed to get him out of this room.

I brought my head up from Fang's chest and looked at his face. I leaned in and kissed his lips then grabbed his hand once again.

"I'll be right back." I whispered kissing his hand, then I stood.

"Great, where are you going?" He mumbled opening his eyes to look at me.

"Fang you're awake!" I said dropping to his side once again and leaning in kissing him hard on the lips.

I was so happy he was alive and relief rushed through my body giving me chills.

When I pulled back I saw a smirk on his face.

"Always kissing me when I'm hurt." He said as his smirk grew.

"Fang are your arms hurt?" I asked.

"No." He said shaking his head.

"Good." I said then punched him in his arm smiling.

"Are the rest of the flock okay?" He asked looking up at me concerned.

"Yeah." I said nodding. "They're waiting for us outside."

"Good." He said sitting up and just as I was about to tell him to take it easy he kissed me.

Yes, Fang kissed me.
