Chapter Three: The Lupine-Avian
-Fang P.o.v.~
"Fang..." Gazzy whispered, inching closer to my side. He looked terrified, tiny standing next to all of us.
"Gazzy don't move anymore." I cautioned, making everyone stop and look in my direction. I simply pointed to the wolf, hawk, whatever it was as it struggled to get up. I don't think anyone noticed at all.
"Fang. She's hurt really bad," Angel whispered, walking towards the mutant before being stopped by Ratchet.
"Hold up, Angel," Ratchet snapped quickly, his eyes glazing over with worry. "She may be weak and hurt, but that doesn't mean she isn't a threat to us and our safety."
"But Ratchet," she argued, "she isn't thinking about hurting us. She's surprised that we didn't run or attack her yet. We should help her!"
"Angel," Ratchet warned before looking in my direction. I shrugged because I really saw nothing wrong with the experiment. She didn't try to attack us with the little energy she had. Maybe Angel was right-
"Thank you, Fang!" Angel yelled happily, earning a glare from me and everyone but Gazzy, who had his gaze locked on the experiment.
"Fang," Nudge piped up, causing everyone's attention to turn to her, "why does she have Max's eyes?" I stopped breathing for a second. Angela's eyes widened, as did most of the others.
"Nudge, brown eyes are commo-" I started before she snapped.
"Don't give me the whole 'I'm just being crazy' speech! I know a lot of people have brown eyes, but look at her eyes! They look just like Max's. That thing has Max's eyes."
I looked to the experiment; my brain whirling through my head. What if Nudge wasn't crazy? What is she saw what I saw?
"Alright... Ratchet, Holden, Star, Nudge, and Angel. I want you guys to go back to the house and lay out some blankets and towels in the kitchen. Gazzy, Ig, I want you guys to head to the market and get some food and bottled water. Kate, you'll help me bring it back. Everyone understand?" I ordered, getting nods out of everyone. The girls, Ratchet, and Holden sprinted back to the house while Iggy and Gazzy took to the skies.
"Fang, are you sure this is a good idea. I know you're leader and all but-" Kate stopped, starring sadly at the hurt experiment that was still struggling. She looked to me, hoping that all her questions were answered.
"Kate... I'm sure," I whisper before taking a few steps closer to the experiment in question. It let off a slight whimper before scrapping a claw against the pavement. I stopped, waiting for it to relax before talking a few steps closer; Kate shadowing my every move.
"I'm not going to hurt you, ya know. We only want to help you." I whisper, holding out my hand and taking a few more steps. It watched us, it's slightly built frame shaking with tension. Its eyes locked onto mine again, making me flinch from the familiarity.
It looked at me for what seemed like minutes before it tried to speak.
"F... F-fan-ng," it whimpered. "K-kaa-te."
I gasped, looking at the experiment with shock and fright. Angel was right. It does know us.
"Y-yeah." I managed through a clenched jaw, "We're good. We're going to help you." It stared at us before finally giving up and laying its head down on the ground, letting us move to its side.
"On three?" Kate asked, stroking the experiments fur softly. I nodded, tucking my arms under its head and front paws while she got its middle, around the stomach.
"1...2...3," I counted off, lifting it gently off the ground. It seemed like Kate picked up the most weight out of the both of us. The experiment whimpered, struggling slightly in our arms. Kate, managing to keep it up while moving her free hand, whispered soothing words and stroked its fur again as we headed down the street. The park wasn't that far away from our house, just to get it straight.
"You'll be okay," I whispered, and I really hope I was right.
-Third P.o.v.~-
The girls, Ratchet and Holden managed to gather enough blankets and towels to cover a good bit of the kitchen floor. Just in time to because at that exact moment, Fang and Kate, with the wolf secure in their arm, walked through the kitchen door. They were both out of breath, for carrying a wolf with wings could really take it out of you.
"You can place her there," Star muttered, pointing to the center of the layout. Fang and Kate did what she said and made sure the experiment wasn't freaking out.
"Thank you, guys." Fang said through labored breaths. Everyone smiled for the first time in a few weeks.
"H-ha-appy?" The experiment whimpered, tilting its head to the side. Everyone gawked at the poor thing while Kate and Fang nodded.
"It... It talks," Nudge whispered, holding a clingy Angel in her arms.
"Yeah," Fang murmured, stroking its fur softly, "she tries to speak, but I'm thinking it's hard for her to do. Maybe they messed with her voice somehow?"
"Maybe," Holden yawned, holding a scared hand over his open mouth. The others caught his sickness and tried to hold in their yawns.
"How about you guys hit the hay. I'll watch over it tonight and everyone can have shifts. Anyway, I have to wait for the pyros to get back," Fang added with his signature smirk. The Flock agreed, yawning and venturing up the stairs to their bedrooms, either alone or in pairs.
'The boys better show up soon,' Fang thought, settling himself by the experiment. He was getting tired of calling 'it' an it. It should have a name as long as it was here...
"Y-you a-re th-thi-inking ha-ard," the experiment choked out, stretching its soar wings and muscles. Fang watched, amused as the experiment lifted itself up and moved to the blanket portion of the layout.
"Th-thank y-ou," it managed before curling up on the blankets spread out and falling into a peaceful sleep; wings wrapped loosely around its middle.
