8. Together Again
It was about noon when all my plans came crashing down. Reason? I spotted the flock. I was above the clouds and they were below. I quickly looked away, but not soon enough. I felt this deep rage and a need to swoop down and rip the flock apart. Violet sense the change instantly.
"Max! What's wrong?" I didn't answer her. I was unable of doing anything but gazing at the flock in hatred. They hadn't noticed me yet. I could still get away without hurting them. I veered sharply to the left. Too sharply. Violet tumbled off my shoulder. I don't know which was louder, her mental scream or the verbal one. My cover was defiantly blown. I had two chooses. Get the heck out of there or rescue Violet, but risk losing control of myself. I had no chose. I divided after Violet.
Her screaming abruptly stopped. As I broke through the clouds, I saw why. Fang held Violet tightly in his hands. Her frighten face sent me over the edge. With a scream of rage I threw myself at him.
"What the-" I cut him off with a kick to the chest. He back winged quickly, dropping Violet in the process. She fell a foot before I caught her.
"Guys, what's going on?" I heard Iggy ask.
"This little kitten suddenly dropped through the clouds. Fang caught it. Then Max dived out of the clouds and attacked Fang. He dropped the kitten and Max caught it again. Max looks super mad." Nudge said all that in under ten seconds.
"Something's wrong with Max. Her thoughts are all muddled." Angel sounded frightened. Well, she could be. I was going to tear apart the flock starting with Fang. Speaking of Fang, where is he? Pain suddenly exploded in my head. I sank softly into darkness.
Flock's view.
Fang struck Max hard in the head. He caught her as she began to fall. The little kitten crawled onto his shoulder.
"Land and lay her on the ground." Fang jumped.
"What!" He looked around. "Tell the blind one to keep everybody away then land."
"Ig, take the kids and met me at that park we went to this morning." Iggy nodded and the lead the kids away. Fang found a clearing. He gently laid Max out.
"What's wrong with her?" The kitten jumped down on to Max's head.
"I'm not sure, but I can fix it." With that, the kitten opened her mouth and breathed gently on Max's forehead.
Max's View.
I woke to see Violet standing on my shoulder and Fang leaning over me with his wings still out. I tensed, but the rage didn't come. I relaxed.
"Feel better?" Fang asked. I nodded.
"Sorry about…everything." Fang looked at me with his emotionless mask.
"Just don't do it again." Then he leaned down and kissed me. I sighed and wrapped my arms around his neck. A muffed meow brought us back to reality. Fang looked at the cat and raised an eyebrow. I sighed.
"Let's go get the flock and I'll tell you about it. This is Violet by the way." Violet purred proudly. It was going to be a long day, but I was okay with that. My rage was gone, I was back with the flock, and we had a new member that was a great healer. Life was good.
///We'll that's the end. I was going to do a few more chapters, but I have another project that demanding my attention and I didn't want to leave this one hanging. Tell me what you think. By the way, Violet is my own special creation. I have a soft spot for talking cats.
