Prisoner- Chapter 91

This is one of those times where I actually wished I would have blacked out instead of having to hear the helicopter crash into the ground. I could hear the metal bend and the propeller hit a tree. I could feel the flames heating the crash scene and smell the smoke and fumes, making me feel nauseous.

I opened my eyes and surveyed the wreckage for my flock. Fang was lying unconscious next to me and Nudge was a few feet away wincing as she held her stomach.

"Nudge, report." I said putting all my weight onto one elbow, so I could raise myself up.

"I think I might have broken a rib." She said wincing as she looked at me. "Where are the others?"

"I don't know." I said looking around. "But Fang is right here and he's still unconscious."

Her eyes showed panic.

I sat myself up and moved over to Fang.

"Fang." I said in a rough voice. "Fang, wake up."

I saw him stir and immediately felt a sense of relief.

"Fang." I said touching his cheek with my hand.

"Max?" He asked slowly opening his eyes.

"Yeah." I said with a smile. "You okay?"

"Yeah, but my head feels like it's been slammed into a wall." He said touching his head.

"Close…" I said brushing my thumb across his cheekbone. "It was the floor."

"That's so much better." He said sarcastically.

I let out a small laugh.

I looked over at Nudge to see her walking slowly from the wreckage and turned my attention back to Fang.

"Can you get up?" I asked to see him raise a dark eyebrow in response.

He levered himself into a sitting position and gave me a quick peck on the cheek. I smirked as he stood then stood up next to him.

"Where are the others?" Fang asked walking away from the wreckage with me.

"I don't know." I said honestly. "Nudge is the only one accounted for."

"I'm sure their fine." He said seeing the worried expression on my face. "They weren't on the helicopter when it crashed, so there is no reason to assume they're hurt."

"I know you're right, but I just can't help it." I said looking down at my shoes.

"You can now." He said making me raise my head to look upon the flock. "There they are and they look fine."

The three of them landed next to Nudge.

"Iggy, check Nudge over." I called out to the blind mutant. "She think she might have broken a rib."

He nodded in my direction then walked toward Nudge.

Angel and Gazzy came running over to Fang and I.

"Max, that was so awesome!" Gazzy said excitedly. "You should have seen it."

"I did see it, Gazzy." I said with a small laugh. "Up close and personal."

"I mean from in the air." He explained. "It was so cool."

"I'll take your word for it." I said shaking my head.

"Max, are you okay?" Angel asked hugging my legs.

"I'm fine, sweetie." I said running my hand over her blond hair.

"Max!" Nudge yelled.

My head snapped in her direction to see the two erasers that must have been operating the helicopter still and alive and almost completely unharmed.

I ran toward them with Fang hot on my heels.

"Don't worry, birdy." One taunted. "We're not going to hurt you… today."

"We'll be back." The other said.

They took off awkwardly with their pathetic excuse for wings and I watched as they slowly disappeared from sight.

"Let's get moving." I said turning to the flock.

AN: Hope you liked it! Reviews are love! And someone asked me how old I was in a review and I kept forgetting to put it in here, so now I finally remembered. I'm 17.
