Sorry for the wait!!! Hope you like this chapter ill try and make it longer

Please read and review!!!


We were in a tiny Mexican border town. By tiny I mean- tiny. It was about three blocks of restaurants and run down houses. There was one tiny gas station that served as the grocery store. And there wasn't a motel in sight. Not one. We had picked a wonderful (sarcastic) place to escape to.

Iggy and Nudge and Total were all for flying on to a bigger city, but I knew that the younger ones needed some rest.

Fang and Nudge, who could pass as the most Mexican (though they weren't), bought us food from the gas station. A gourmet meal it was not. There was some bottled water, some granola bars and some cheese.

We slept outside of the town, in some field, it seemed safer than the run down little town where everyone spoke Spanish. I hadn't been to much school and barely knew a word of Spanish, so it was gonna take a miracle for any communication to happen.

The next day, much to the complaining of everyone, the warm sun woke us up. It was hot we had arrived in the evening and it'd been around eighty but now the sun made if feel like ninety. We were all sweating buckets, I was worried about dehydration.

We flew out of that town as quick as we could, trying to make it too a place with air conditioning.

When we were in the air for about an hour, there was suddenly a humming noise. All around us, robots and flying soldiers were coming. They were like a swarm of locusts, how's that for vivid imagery?

"Guys!" I cried, "Get ready!"

We sort of hovered in the air 'cause there was no place to go, they literally surrounded us from all sides. I had no idea how they'd found us. Probably that traitor Ryan.

When the things were just close enough to get us. We all attacked. Total was in a backpack, growling.

I whipped several punches at a robot and it went down. Hard. It made this metal crunching noise. As it fell it took a bunch of other robots with it, that was how many there were.

Fang was swinging punches right and left, he seemed blurred. As each robot fell, another took its place.

I thought that, even if we could fight them off, the robots would bury with their numbers.

Iggy was getting directions from Gazzy as to where to fight, but it wasn't hard. He just had to swing a fist and he would hit something.

Nudge danced around a robot like a little ballerina. She twisted and spun a kick at one's face. Then it hit her nose, making it bleed.

Gazzy, even while directing Iggy, was fighting like the tough little guy he was. He was now fishing for something in his pocket. I hoped it was a bomb.

Even little Angel was trying to help. She flitted in and around the things, faster and lighter than they were, she could avoid their clumsy punches.

Finally, after what was an hour, or a minute, Gazzy shouted "Drop."

Instantly, I stopped flapping my wings and fell like a rock, through metal. It felt like I was sliding over a cheese grater.

I had barely gotten out of the metal cloud when in exploded. The force of the shock wave carried me out, away from the blast. Little pieces of metal shrapnel cut all over my face and hands. I hoped that the others had gotten far enough away in time.

There was a silence in the air and all I could feel my sweat dripping down my face as I fell to the ground. I managed to make my wings work and started to flap around, looking for the others.

One, there was Gazzy, grinning triumphantly at his bomb's work.

Two, Iggy, smiling too with Akila in his backpack.

Three, Nudge her hair in a fluffy cloud, nose still bleeding.

Four, Angel her face pale and tiny.

Five?

Where was Fang?

I couldn't see him anywhere.

"Fang!" I called, my voice seemed really quiet after the explosion.

"Fang?" the others echoed.

Finally, finally, I saw a black shape falling out of the sky.

Five, Fang, heading down fast, carrying a tiny dog, Total.

Six, me trying not to cry in relief.

AN: is it any good? Review?
