Iggy's POV
What was I thinking? I knew Alexi had issues but…. This was, well, over the top.
"Jeff come on I KNOW you are blind and need my help so please just let me guide you to the bathroom then find some trust worthy guy to help guide you to the stall?" she said sounding more worried than really need be.
"Alexi" I sighed "just because I am, well err blind, doesn't mean I can't take care of myself," I was being too nice but that was my personality, I didn't want to hurt her feelings I mean after all she was just worried right?
"But but Jeff!! I know you want to act like Mr. Tuff guy but we both know you aren't, so let me help you! geese you big-" but I gave her a look that must have been scary, she shut up instantly and her heart beet picked up.
"Listen Alexi. I. Am. Perfectly. Capable. Of. Taking. Care. Of. Myself. And I really DON'T need you fussing over me like I am disabled!" I had issues keeping my voice normal at the end and I could feel the pressure of everyone in the movie theater's lobby staring at us.
"Jeff please, you are actually quiet unstable! You need help and you need to admit it! I KNOW that you are incapable of doing everything and need help! If you won't let people help you then it only goes to show how messed up you are!" Alexi shouted at me, she sounded like I wasn't getting something obvious and like I was... was mentally ill. I suddenly felt her hand grab mine and yank me towards what I remembered to be the exit of the theater.
"Leave me alone" I growled pulling my hand out of hers "I am sick of you treating me like I have a disabled brain! I am NOT in the need of help and especially not YOUR help! And if you think I am messed up you have no idea." I turned around quickly then and stalked into the direction of the parking lot. I heard her yell something back but I ignored her, instead I concentrated on the sound my footsteps made as they echoed off of the cars and the cement.
When I heard the familiar crunch of leaves under my feet and felt the sun's light blocked I tore my jacket off and let my wings rip through the flimsy fabric of my t-shirt. I felt the sun on my back again
and I stopped walking to jump into the air as high as my inhuman strength let me then I did a humongous downward stroke with my wings bringing me above tree level. After three more large strokes I was able to angle my body forward and fly towards what I hoped was the direction of the house.
After 20 minutes of flying I heard the familiar sound of Total's highly annoying voice.
"Iggy here! The house is over here! Come land were my voice is!" I fallowed his instructions reluctantly and landed upon the soft grass of our back lawn.
"Did anyone see me?" I asked my voice not hiding any of the annoyance I felt at having to have Total tell me what to do and were to land, why was everyone treating me like I was incapable of taking care of myself?
"No, lucky for you it is to dark out for human eyes! You should be more careful"
"To late now" I mumbled angry with myself for missing the fact that the sun had gone down because I had been so upset about Alexi… Before Total could say anything else I headed toward the back door.
When I got to the open door I slammed it shut behind me and horridly made my way to my room but stopped suddenly when I heard Angels scream. As quick as I could I deciphered that she was on the roof and I then ran to the nearest window, hoping it was open, and dove. I felt my head brush the top of the window frame but luckily I made it through ok then quickly snapped open my wings and flew upward towards the roof.
"Iggy! Come quick fangs hurt!" I heard Angel yell as I landed on the shingled roof. She quickly led me to the part of the roof that was right outside max's window. As I knelt down the wind shifted direction and I smelt the blood coming from the body in front of me.
"Fang!" I shouted "Fang what's wrong? Where does it hurt? Talk to me Fang!" I carefully placed my hands on what must have been his head, because that is where the sound of his breathing was coming from. Moving slowly I felt my way down his head and his arms feeling for anything broken, bruised, or bleeding. When I got to his chest I felt a small indentation. "Angel go to my room and get my first aid kit, also call Nudge and Gazzy and tell them to come home now!"
I listened to her run through Max's window as I continued my search to make sure nothing else was out of place on Fang. When my hand brushed down his right leg I heard a moan from Fang at the same time that I felt the warm stickiness of fresh blood. Going even slower and more careful then before I examined the wound with my figures and found that his leg had been deeply cut as if he had cut it on the roof when he had fallen. IF he had fallen.
"Iggy? Fang said apparently coming-to at last.
"I'm right here Fang can you tell me where it hurts and what exactly happened?" I asked trying to keep the desperate worry out of my voice. It was odd to be so worried, I mean yeah he was a member of the flock so then closer then family to me but it almost felt as if the worry was DEEPER than that somehow… But I quickly shook my head of these thoughts and concentrated on the sound of Angel as she crawled out of the window and handed me the medium sized bag that I had gotten used to carrying around after the time Ari had torn Fang up and we had had to take him to a hospital.
I opened it and pushed my hand in instantly feeling out the gauze wrap, antibiotic, and other utensils which I would need to check the weird indent on his chest. After cleaning and wrapping his leg, which had already stopped gushing blood and was now looking like it was a day old rather than an hour, I carefully felt his chest for the indent again.
With my right hand on the spot I used my left hand to grab a pair of tweezers. With skill that I wish Alexi had seen I pulled out the little pencil tip sized object from the hole and set in on the roof next to me while I made sure his chest was ok.
"MAX!!" Fang suddenly yelled jumping up. "Where's Max? They took her! He took her!" Fang was screaming at the top of his lungs now. Emotionless Fang was apparently having a mental breakdown of sorts as he started crying making a weird choking sound and falling upon the roof.
"Calm down buddy, tell us what happened. Everything is going to be ok Max is strong and can take care of herself till we find out what to do." I told him forcing my voice to be as reassuring as possible although I was extremely shocked at his outburst.
"She was... We were… I woke her up... we were talking… they surprised me…I was shot with something… he grabbed her… I couldn't do anything... oh Max what have I done? How could I have been so... so…" he said between sobs that shook his whole body and even the part of the roof that we were sitting on.
"Who took her? Who is is he? Fang we need your help pull yourself together! We need are heads to be able to save her!" I told him not thinking as I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and held him trying to confort him and keep him from hurting himself just in case.
"The school" was all he said his voice cracking and defeat ringing through his words as he rested his head in my shoulder and continued to sob but a tad quieter this time.
"FANG!! Where is Max? Did she run away? Did the flyboys get her? Why was it so important that Angel called? Where are you hurt? How bad is it? Why are you crying? Are you actually crying? You have never cried before! What is wrong with him Iggy? Will he survive? Why are you holding him like that?" Nudge said as soon as she saw us on the roof. The last question had so much shock in it that I quickly let go of Fang and turned my head away so that she couldn't see my cheeks, which must have been bright red.
"Max was captured by the school and they shot Fang with something" I said in answer to Nudges questions and Angels and Gazzy unspoken ones.
"What... what do we do now?" Gazzy asked sounding his age for once and reality hit me then. What if Fang didn't calm down? What if the dart that was resting by my side had somehow altered him? What had happened to Max? And with Max gone and Fang… unstable…that would mean I would have to lead the flock on my own and come up with a plan to rescue her and Fang's sanity…
Hope you liked it! Fang isn't dealing with Max being stolen so well is he? Maybe Iggy can help him pull himself back together…
Remember, Bloodfang and I have ABSOLUTLY NO IDEA of what the others plan is, we DO have a general idea but nothing more... so don't ask us what is going to happen next!! Well MABEY if you are really really nice and give Bloodfang a cookie she MIIIIIGHT give you a hint .- but not chocolate chip, they aren't her favorite.
Please read and review!! The more reviews the more often we will update!!
