Prisoner- Chapter 78

I closed my eyes and leaned my head against the arm of the couch.

Maximum.

My eyes shot open.

'Please let me have imagined that.' I thought silently.

Maximum, you must get out of here.

'What?' I thought confused. 'Why?'

Erasers are coming, hundreds of them.

I felt my jaw drop open.

The flock was giving me questioning looks.

I came to my senses and said, "We need to leave."

"Why?" Fang asked as I stood.

"Erasers." I said hurrying toward the room we shared. "More than we can handle."

I slipped into our room and grabbed his backpack.

"Angel, get Total." I said walking back into the room with the rest of them.

I looked around for Angel then spotted her coming out of her room with Total in her arms.

"Got him." She declared with a smile.

I put on a small smile in return then took Total from her and put him in Fang's backpack.

"What's going on?" He asked poking his head out.

"Erasers are coming for us." I said giving the bag to Fang.

He put it on then stole a glance at me to say 'calm down'.

I took a breath.

"Everyone got their stuff?" I asked looking over the flock.

I got some nods and some 'yeahs'.

"Okay, let's go." I said walking out the front door.

Fang followed directly behind me, then Gazzy, Iggy, Nudge, and Angel last.

"Angel, you first." I said motioning to the sky.

She pushed off and then forced her wings to push hard down strokes to fly her higher up.

"Gazzy."

He mocked Angel, flying up next to her.

"Ig."

Iggy flew up next to the two of them.

"Nudge."

She too made the same attempt and managed to fly up next to them.

"You first." Fang said looking at me.

I placed a kiss on his cheek then pushed off the ground hoping not to fall back to the ground from another brain explosion.

None came and I made a few hard down strokes to make it up to the rest of the flock.

Fang came up next to us moments later.

"Where to?" Fang asked looking at me.

'Voice, any suggestions?'

Anne's.

"WHAT!" I shouted aloud.

The flock was looking at me, startled. I couldn't blame them. I was talking to a voice that only I could here and now I was yelling at it.

You need to go to Anne's.

'NO!' I shouted at it mentally.

"Max?" Fang asked studying me.

It is the only place they won't find you.

"Max." Fang said trying to get my attention.

I snapped back to reality and looked at the flock.

"Go… that way." I said pointing in the direction of Anne's house.

They all began flying in the direction I instructed and Iggy took a moment to figure out which way then flew along with them.

Fang and I stayed back behind them, so we could talk.

"The voice is back, isn't it?" He asked looking worried.

"Yeah." I said nodding.

"What did it say?"

I took a deep breath.

"It wants us to go to Anne's."

He looked slightly shocked, which means he was absolutely stunned.

"Why?"

"It said it is the only place the erasers won't find us."

"Do you think it's a trap?"

"I don't know." I stated honestly. "I just want to do what's best for the flock."

He nodded and was silent.

He broke the silence asking, "So are we going to Anne's?"

I closed my eyes and mentally kicked myself as I answered, "Yes."

"Well, they do say the third time's the charm." He smirked.

I managed a small smile.

I had no doubt I was going to regret this decision later.

AN: Hope you liked it! Reviews are love!
