Flying alone was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Especially lately, because it was the only time I was free. Not just physically free, but free from mind-reading seven year-olds. And free from Dylan knocking on my door seven times a day asking if I wanted to go out for a flight. I was just purely free.
And purely depressed. I mean seriously. I know I shouldn't leave the flock, but what else was I expected to do? I needed to find Fang. He was going to be pissed. But you know what? He was right in his letter, he did start this. He did make my world shades of gray. So this was basically this fault anyway. He was just going to have to face the consequences.
About an hour after I flew, I realized I honestly wasn't sure where to go. I wondered if Fang ended up posting anything new on his blog. Thanking God for remembering my laptop, I landed in a nearby park and sat down in the lush grass, pulling the small computer out of my bag. As it booted up I looked around, trying to make sure no one was coming toward me with knives or any other fun anti-birdkid weapons. Old habit.
To my great interest the scum-bag did post something on the internet. My heart sped up as I opened it, waiting impatiently for it to load.
Welcome to Fang's Blog
You are Visitor Number: This thing broke again, and since I don't have my favorite computer-savvy birdkid with me anymore, there is probably no fixing it
Today's Date: Three Days Later
I don't know if anyone heard the news, but I'm traveling on my own for a while. I need to do my own thing. Of course I miss Maximum, but I can't help but feel this is for the best. She and the rest of the flock are always in my mind, and I keep thinking I see them everywhere. All I want to do is just go back and join them. Even if it means putting up with Dylan. If you don't know who Dylan is, he appeared on an episode of Access Hollywood or something, a few days ago. That was when Angel was the temporary Flock leader. Go figure.
Anyway, I'm heading east, inland. I'm thinking of starting out what I set out to do where it basically started. I wrote that sentence and even I don't know what it means. Bottom line is, I can't say directly where I'm going or what I'm doing because I'm afraid an enemy will follow, which will entail more gruesome fights, and more longing for the rest of the Flock to fight with me.
Anyway, I should get flying again.
Peace out,
Fang
I knew immediately where he was going. He was going to the first institute in New York, the one where we got Total. And this laptop. I remembered all the mutants who had escaped. Had they expired, or were some still running amok somewhere, desperately looking for a place to belong? I remember specifically a girl around Nudge's age, escaping with us. She seemed to know Ari.
That was where fang was going. That's where I was going.
