Poll up on my profile!

I'm an idiot and admit. I have been writing this without any ideas of what to do. So whatever strikes my fancy comes up, and I'm having trouble actually keeping this interesting and not having it be monotonous. So please in a review (normal reviews are welcome too) tell me what you think should happen. Please Help ME! Ahhhh! Sorry 'bout this, here's the story.

I woke up to a sore throat and stiff eyes.

Nudge was now under the willow and she was humming a song to herself, as I silently approached her.

Her head jerked up as I stood in front of her.

"What do you want?" she snapped at me, a little more hostile than I had expected, although she wasn't very predictable lately.

"Nothing really."


"Is that so, then why are you over here? Huh?" It actually sounded like she was trying to taunt me, it was actually rather strange.

"Just wanted to see what was up. So, what's up?" I kept my face smooth, emotionless. Hers had her emotions written all over her face for a split second, long enough for me to read her.

"Why didn't you tell us to stay and try and help Max? Why didn't you even try and go back? All you're doing is running and Max is stuck in such a weak state, that it's just sad! And you, you just don't care!" Near the end tears had broken through her defenses. For a second I contemplated if I should comfort her, but I thought she might want some time to herself.

I started to, turn when she punched me, on the arm, but still punched me. I was shocked, I just stood there as she hit me again, and then I snapped back into it. I grabbed her, wrist to keep her from hitting me again, trying to be as gentle as possible, but she just started to swing her other arm.

She was putting up a pretty good fight, but not enough against me.

Eventually, I just said, "Stop", icily. This wasn't my fault. How dare she accuse me of not trying? I've thought of every plan possible, and none would have worked. Else I would have forced everyone to try it all ready.

I sighed in exasperation, as she spit at me, "Let go of me!" I did as she said quickly, and she turned and started to run. Within a few seconds she was out of sight, hidden behind tremendous trees and a multitude of bushes. I turned around to go back to the camp, thinking she might want some alone time. Before I could say anything, Iggy was whipping past me and sprinting, full out, after Nudge.

I thought of stopping him, but I knew it was up to him. What was next, Total wanted to go to Candy land? I decided instead of contemplating this I should start getting the camp picked up and head to a new place. I knew that if Iggy and Nudge reconsidered they would be able to find us.


Nudge was ripping through the forest with deadly speed, with Iggy about 20 feet behind her. He was slowly gaining on her and she knew it, so she jumped, soaring into the sky. Further away from him, letting her wings do all of the work, gliding and thinking.

Iggy was in the sky, not long after her, continuing the pursuit.

She did a dive bomb trying to get him off of her trail, knowing that she couldn't. She did a multitude of spirals, dive bombs, and aerials. Throwing in many complicated twists that she made up on the spot. He kept up easily with her, for she was sobbing the whole time. He never tried to catch her, just keep up with her.

Eventually, she started to descend. Going down to a rocky bluff on the side of a cliff. A small pool of water lay at the bottom, and the sun glinted off of it, with a white glow. She landed next to the pond, and sat roughly onto a smoothed stone. Iggy landed about seven feet away, with a careful expression.

He stood there, as she laid there and cried. He waited it out in patience. Then suddenly a resigned expression fell over her face, and Iggy slowly edged forward. At any sign that she still wanted to be alone he would stop.

At last, he came upon her, and silently folded his legs and sat down, next to her. He reached out and put his arm around Nudge, comfortingly. She fell into him, and her tears, silently, but steadily, rolled down her cheeks. Iggy picked up his hand and placed it over her head, and just held her.

"We should have gone back for her. We had to. And we didn't", she mumbled into his shirt. He stroked her back in understanding. She moved her head slowly, and he shifted his weight to balance her more easily.

"You did all you could and Fang does truly miss Max too, and he would have tried to save her, but he really believes it's hopeless." She nodded.

"He still didn't try, except for the first few minutes, I was sure we would get her out in no time at all, and then he goes and gives up. He started to cry! That is not Fang. Whatever is happening to him shouldn't. He should pull it all together and get her back! But he just sits there, staring in agony at whatever passes before his eyes. It's like he's stopped living." She whispered the last words so quietly that if anyone else had been there, only Iggy would have heard.

"It's hard on us all Nudge. I think Fang is trying to shoulder it all. You know that's impossible, because I know you've tried it multiple times."

"But Iggy, h-" she was cut off as Iggy gently placed his lips against hers.
