9. Iggy's Healing

Me and Fang landed behind some trees and walked up to the flock.

"Max you're okay!" Nudge shouted. Total leaped up in delight. Angel launched herself into my arms. Nudge and Gazzy where a pace behind her. Iggy simply smiled.

"Kitty can't breath." She did sound a little squashed.

"Guy, ease up. You're crashing Violet." Angel, Nudge, and Gazzy let go and looked at me with confusion.

"Who's Violet?" Gazzy asked. I forget they didn't know Violet yet. I opened my mouth to answer when another voice cut me off.

"I'm Violet." Even I was surprised. It was Violet's Voice, but out loud.

"I didn't know you could talk out loud." Violet looked at me wide eyed. "I didn't either."

"Oh, what a cute kitty. I didn't know cats' fur could be purple. Isn't she that kitten that Fang caught?" Nudge asked. Iggy's lightly touched Violet's fur. Violet leaped to his shoulder. She cocked her head at him then at me.

"Yes, she is Nudge. What is it Violet?"

"I'm able fix the blind one's eyes, but can I? Could you ask him for me?" My mouth fell open. I saw Angel gaping at her too.

"Um, Iggy. Violet wants to know if she can fix your eyes." His eyes widened to the size of dinner plates. I could tell that he was holding back his joy incase she wasn't able to.

"Sure." His voice broke. "Tell him to turn his head toward me."

"Can't you tell him yourself?" I asked. She glared at me. Guess that answered that question. "Its takes a lot of my energy to talk to anybody but you." Well aren't I special.

"Iggy, turn you face toward Violet." He obeyed. Violet took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She seemed to go in a trance. She opened her mouth and breathed gently on Iggy's eyes. Iggy blinked and his jaw dropped.

"I can see! It's really fuzzy, but I can see!" Iggy pumped his fist in the air. Violet collapsed on his shoulder. She almost slid off, but Iggy caught her in time.

"It'll take few more healing till his vision's perfect." She sounded really sleepy. Sure enough, her eyes closed and her body went limp. I took her from Iggy. Iggy then began to do a happy dance. The rest of the flock, except me and Fang of course, joined in.

"Why did you leave?" Fang asked. I looked down at my shoes.

"About a month ago, I started to fly into an unexplainable rage every time I saw anyone in the flock flying. At first I was able to ignore it, but then it got so bad that I got scared. I didn't want to hurt you or any of the others so I left."

"Why didn't you tell me?" I jerked my head up to look at him.

"Why, so you can control me just like you control the rest of the flock." I snapped, and then bit my lip at his hurt expression. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that."

Fang shook his head. "Yes you did."

"Well, you have been taking my place as leader." Fang was silent for a long moment. I thought he wasn't going to answer.

"Yeah, I have." He looked really sorry. I snorted then signed. He grinned. He knew he was forgiven. The rest of the flock was still dancing around. I waited till they got it out of their systems. Once they were somewhat calm, I clapped my hands to get their attention.

"Let's fly." They cheered and we took to the sky.
