Next chapter of 'Letters To Fang' Enjoy!
Max's POV:
It was around one o'clock in the morning when I flew down from my post to wake up Dylan for the next watch. I poked his ribs with my foot, making him groggily sit up, his hands supporting his weight. I have him a look in the darkness, knowing very well that he could see me, which said 'Your turn.' He nodded and flew up to the tree that I had just went down and shifted until he was in a comfortable position. Nalani was nowhere to be seen so I just shrugged before lying down on the ground between Nudge and Angel, drifting off into a light yet peaceful slumber.
"Maxxxxx, Maxxxxx," a voice spoke from behind me. I whipped around expecting to see someone but there was nobody? I looked around my surroundings, taking in the dark, green forest and the rocky floor. Something flashed out of the corner of my eye and I turned around as quickly as I could, not fast enough to see it properly. The place felt real, although I knew that because the Flock wasn't there and that I had never been there before.
I walked a few paces forward, remembering the details of the strange forest and also keeping a sharp eye for the fast figure. The sun was shining through the thick branches of the trees, lighting up the dark place a little. I took one more step forward before standing on a glass like object, I looked down. It was a picture frame with one particular picture, a picture of a cave that looked very familiar. I carefully took the picture out of the broken and cracked frame and studied it more; it looked exactly like the cave where Fang and I kissed, where he tried to change my mind about saving the world.
I flipped the picture over and found a poem on the back of it written in neat handwriting.
Come seek me where you used to hide;
The place where his kiss was denied
J.A
I read the poem over again, this time remembering it so I would hopefully know it when I woke up. I started drifting away which signified that I was about to wake up, so I closed my eyes and let myself be lifted back into reality.
I awoke remembering the dream, thank god, at the crack of dawn. I groaned lightly but shifted myself into a sitting position. Nalani clicked her tongue, snapping my head to my left finding myself face-to-face with her. I smiled at her and stroked her head before pulling out the letter I wrote last night. I read over the letter and then scrunched it up, crawled over to my bag and shoved it back in. I grabbed a new piece of paper and a pen and started a new reply to Fang's letter from yesterday.
Fang,
Nalani is a great name. We haven't spotted any Erasers so maybe they're creating something new? I had a dream and I found and picture of a cave where you tried to change my mind about saving the world, but also a poem. 'Come seek me where you used to hid; the place where his kiss was denied' and it was initialled J.A. I'm going to check it out, no matter what you say, and I'm going alone as well. I'm back and in control of the Flock as leader and we're now looking for schools that we can shut down. Love you.

I read over it, smiling as I did so, than tied it to Nalani's leg. I looked up to see Dylan staring down at me tiredly and I wondered if he was watching me writing the whole thing. I signalled him down with my head and started nudging everyone awake (No Pun Intended.) Half an hour later we were in the sky with our stomachs filled with heated tinned spaghetti , which only took ten minutes but it was a pain waking Nudge up, that girl takes forever.
I took up the front this time, changing our degree of flight every so often so nobody noticed that we were heading south where the cave was. My plan was that we would get there by tonight, camp there, and when everyone was asleep I would go to the cave where Fang and I kissed. We stopped in a forest around midday to eat our tinned food because there was no life in sight so we couldn't go to a fast food place. We ate in silence, except for Nudge's complaining about having a shower or sleeping in a proper bed. This is where Iggy stepped in and muffled her by slapping his hand across her mouth, staring blindly at a tree in annoyance. We were nearing the canyon, thank god it was 6 o'clock, and Angel was starting to falter.
"Ok guys, pick your favourite cave because this is where we're camping for the night," I yelled behind me, hearing the groans of the rest of the Flock as they wanted a bed.
"Tomorrow we can stop at a hotel," I added, giving in. I heard five quiet yes's behind me and somehow the atmosphere seemed happier. I knew I didn't have to look behind me to know that their faces held the happiest grins. We all angled down and passed a few caves before stopped at the biggest one we could find, which was about twenty by twenty in metres. I quickly looked for my little cave where I hid after Fang kissed me, spotting it thirty meters above this one to the left.
We lit a fire, Iggy actually did, ate what was left of the tinned food, stacked fists and said goodnight to each other before finding our own secluded spot in the cave. I sat at the mouth of the cave for the first watch, and waited.
Ooooh, I wonder what's going to happen. Honestly I have no clue o.O. Hahaha hope you guys liked this new chapter and there will be more coming your way.
