Now we get to go back to Kate's POV. Yay! Sorry it took so long for the update.
Chapter Five: Back on Track, Somewhat (Kate's POV)
Ow. What the hell? I feel like a truck ran over my back. I wasn't lying on the ground, or forcefully in a cage or tied to a tree. My eyes opened slightly and I saw Iggy carrying me. Even though I felt like I was drunk, it didn't take me long to add two and two together.
"Iggy what happened?" I moaned.
"Nothing really. Max's Voice made you pass out so you wouldn't be in extreme pain when your wings came back. Max had the idea of going to Dr. Martinez's to make sure your wings coming back didn't like hurt your muscles or something," Iggy explained. I nodded slowly, wincing as a twinge of pain let blood soak through the already forming scabs and onto my shirt.
The rest of the day I spent in and out of consciousness. I remember waking up sometimes to hear Iggy talking to me, not really caring weather I was listening or not. I woke up much later, in the middle of the forest in the middle of no where. I spotted Iggy and the rest of the flock sitting around a campfire, talking in hushed tones. I shook my head to attempt to get rid of the drunken feeling I had and walked over to them.
"You haven't been drinking have you?" Max joked as I walked like a drunkard.
"I don't think so. Unless Fang gave me beer in my sleep," I replied, receiving a glare from Fang and a chuckle from Iggy. "So, what were you guys talking about?" I asked, sitting next to Iggy.
"Planning our next move," Iggy explained. "After we stop by Dr. Martinez's place, we have to get back on track to saving the world. The train's been derailed for too long."
"We thought that we could start by freeing all of the experiments in other Schools, destroy them in the process. Then the freed experiments would become like our army and we would destroy Itex forever," Max told me. "Since it's the only plan we have, we will start following through with it after our visit to Dr. Martinez, I mean, my mom."
"How much longer till we get to your mom's house?" Angel asked, yawning.
"We'll get there tomorrow, Angel, don't worry. Now get some sleep," Max said stroking Angel's hair. Angel nodded and went to lie down next to Nudge, who was already asleep. "Do you think you will be able to fly tomorrow, Kate?" Max asked me.
"I don't think she should," Iggy answered before I had a chance, "if her muscles are torn or something from when her wings came back, I don't think we could risk it."
"Thank you for answering for me. I think that I can talk even though I walk in a straight line," I joked. "Anyway, I think the same thing. I don't want to be out-of –action longer than I have to be."
"Ok then, we should sleep if we are going to get to Arizona by tomorrow," Max said. I nodded and walked back to a dry portion of the clearing. The last thing I remember before being swallowed by sleep was Iggy waving at me and flying into a tree to take his watch.
