Chapter 5

Max POV

My mind was divided. We had been in one spot for two days now and we needed to be on the move to elude the erasers but Fang's fever had yet to break. The kids were restless and my patience was running thin; I was desperate. Fang woke up around six, before the rest of the flock, and although he had more color than last night he was still pale and sickly looking.

"Max we need to move" Were Fangs first words. Well at least we were on the same page.

"Are you up to it?" Please lie and say yes, Please lie and say yes

"Ya…"

"Just don't overdo it"

"Yes mom"

Around eight I woke the rest of the flock up. Iggy made us some breakfast and after cleaning up our area we were off once again. Instead of continuing north towards Niagara Falls, I slightly altered our course so if needed, we could easily be en route to my mom's house.

Flying was great. The northern air was cool and crisp while the warm sun was beating down on our backs. There was not a cloud in the clear, blue sky. Flying relived the majority of my tension and seemed to calm the flock too. After a relaxing hour the Gasman became 'board'; not a soul in this world could have fathomed the amount of entertaining things that boy could carry on his person. Before I could even duck a large water balloon was headed for my nice, dry face. Suddenly it wasn't so dry anymore. Before I knew it there was a full water war on my hands. Turns out Iggy and Gazzy had a whole backpack full of pleasantly plump water balloons and the notorious mischief makers were determined to use them all on Angel, Nudge, and me. As Nudge and I distracted the boys, Angel discreetly took the majority of the remaining water balloons. In the end it was safe to say that the boys were way wetter than the girls. They defiantly need to work on their attack plans. Since we were all wet I made an executive decision to take a break, change, and most importantly, eat.

We landed in a small, run-down town in some state in Amrerica. There were a few gas stations and convince stores, but there was nothing too large. We split up, boys and girls, and went to two different gas stations to change. If the managers found wet children strange they didn't say anything about it. After changing the six of us met up outside the town's McDonalds.

We entered with food on our minds.

Hope you enjoyed! More to come soon! I love reviews!
