Soo, chapter 5, and is my story any good? Should I finish it fast, or keep writing?? I want to know !!
I tensed up as I turned to Fang. He saw my tenseness and frowned slightly. I really had no idea if I could trust him. Instead, I turned to Iggy.
"Here Iggy," I handed him an icepack for his head. It was one of the ones that you break open and they turn cold.
He took it and sat down against the cave wall. "They came and and," he started, "They were robots kinda like those Flyboys or like those things that came with Gozen. They only took the little ones. They could have gotten me, but they just pushed me into a wall so that I passed out. All they wanted was the little kids."
I nodded slowly, feeling panicked, I was in no mood to be flying, and neither was Iggy. Fang was a possible traitor and even he couldn't take a whole group of people alone, besides, that would mean leaving the girl with the broken wings and the blind kid alone together, just ready to get their butts kicked.
I saw a really vacant look in Fang's eyes. He seemed to be listening to something, then I got it. It was Fang's voice. I waited until he seemed to focus on us again. "What does it say?" I muttered.
Fang's eyes looked up, surprised. "It said that I should…" Fang broke off, choking slightly, he shook his head and pointed to his throat.
"Are you choking?" I asked, incredulity.
"No," he managed to spit out, "It's controlling me so that I can't say what I heard."
"Damn it," I hissed to myself, great, now Fang couldn't even talk about something important.
"What?" Iggy asked.
I opened my mouth to tell Iggy, it didn't even occur to me that Fang was not in control of himself, "Fang has a Vo-" Fang's hard hand pressed its self over my mouth. I saw his eyes, but couldn't tell if he was being controlled or not. It was a really, really scary thought.
"What the hell?" Iggy asked, "What is going on Max? Fang?"
"Nothing Ig," Fang spoke calmly, "Just relax, you have a concussion, you need to rest."
I rolled my eyes at Fang. He was being pretty condescending, which was not at all like him. Fang raised an eyebrow in turn and partially shrugged his shoulders.
I decided that it was best to wait and see with Fang, I needed someone to help set my broken bones before they healed wrong, anyway.
I awoke later that night to Fang tapping me on the arm. My wings were already feeling better, now that they were in the right position to heal. I had Fang to thank for that. He would make a good doctor, except that he couldn't stand the smell of antiseptics, which would make being a doctor kinda hard.
I sat up slowly, trying not to wince in pain. "What?" I mouthed.
Fang sighed quietly, "I'm leaving," he whispered into my ear, voice very quiet.
"No," I hissed, "We need to plan a way to rescue the others. You can't go alone. I'll be okay in a couple days, Iggy before that."
"I'm not going to look for the others. I'm leaving," Fang set his jaw.
"No. You can't. You said that we couldn't break up again. We need each other- everyone, more than ever now."
"That was before, Max," he said gently, "I'm a danger to you now. I can't control myself. I could hurt you- did hurt you. I could hurt the whole flock now. I'll start looking now, then, once you're healed, you can follow me."
"Hell no!" I almost yelled, "You need to stay here. I don't care about the voice or the controlling issues, heck, I've had some of those before."
"Max." Fang said quietly, "I'm sorry."
"Wait," I motioned for Fang to come closer, then I sat up several more inches. I leaned up and kissed Fang gently, before I had any idea what I was doing. His eyes opened wide.
When we stopped kissing, I turned to him, "Don't leave."
"Sorry," Fang turned and flew into the sky.
I stood up and ran to the edge of the cave, I tried to unfurl my wings, but they were bandaged close to my back. "Get your ass back here!" I screamed at Fang's fading shadow.
Then I remembered Iggy. I saw his blind eyes staring at me. "How much did you see?" I moaned
"Actually, nothing," Iggy cracked a grin.
I rolled my eyes, "How much?"
"Well, I was awake since Fang woke you up."
I frowned and sighed, it was bad enough that I had kissed Fang, but, now Iggy knew too. "Damn."
"Don't worry Max," Iggy laughed, "Nudge and I had a bet about when you two would let the flock know about your engagement."
"Pardon me," I spit out, this making me angry instead of sad.
"I'm sorry, but it was obvious. I knew for a long time," Iggy said, "But, Nudge and I didn't have a bet. I promise."
I sent some dagger looks toward Iggy, "Not one word."
