A/N: Ok so most of you might be confused by the whole 'Fang' chapters. We'll this IS an IggyxOC fanfiction just wait and see.
I strode a little ways away from the group. The sun was setting behind the tall buildings of the city. The flock had settled in a park for tonight, with tall weeping willows, oak trees and maples. I had walked behind a tree shrieking as my wings re-entered my back. Blood lightly dripped down it and I felt cool fingers on my spine. I turned to stare up at Iggy.
"Are you okay?"
"Does it look like it?"
"I don't know I'm blind."
I shut my mouth. How could I say something so stupid? I could feel him supporting me on each arm as I stood. I wavered a bit and held me steady. I spun and bowed slightly to him seeing a slight smile on his face.
"To answer your question, I'm fine. Totally used to it by now."
"Well that's good. Are you bleeding?"
"It'll stop soon enough."
I took his hand as I had seen Max do and lightly placed them on my lips so he knew I was smiling. Nodding he began to walk towards the tree, me trailing a little ways behind. We reached the tall maple and I hopped up climbing until I reached everyone else up in the high branches. Soon all I could hear was the calm breathing of the flock as I stared up into the sky. The stars weren't a bright here and I could still hear the sounds of the city not far off. Even with the school and all my fears far away I still couldn't shake this awful feeling.
Without disturbing anyone I clambered to a lower branch where I could see the entire park. It was nice, with a large fountain in the middle and tame grass.
"It almost seems like your part night-owl."
I made a small 'eep' sound as Fang spoke. He crouched down next to me on a neighboring branch and smiled. He was in an oddly humorous mood compared to the flight with the flock.
"So why are you up?"
"I could ask you the same thing."
"I woke because you came down."
"I didn't wake anyone else up."
"All the same, why?"
I sighed and looked down at my hands. Why wasn't I sleeping? I mean I'm exhausted so what the heck! I shrugged my shoulders and twirled a purple streak between my fingers.
"You ever have feelings of foreboding?"
"Yes."
"Well that's why."
He turned looking thoughtfully as if contemplating what to do with me. I continued twirling the lock of hair and bit my lower lip n concentration. I peered through the darkness searching for anything that seemed…off. Then I felt an arm wrap around my shoulders and pull me closer. I found my head resting on Fang's lap staring up at him completely dumbfounded.
"Try to sleep. I'll be right here."
So with that I closed my eyes and let the feeling of Fang stroking my hair lull me to sleep.
We were all walking down a busy street of the city. I was happily skipping holding hands with Angel. The day was bright and hot, it seemed as though everyone was smiling.
"Ooh! Max can we get some icecream?"
"I don't see why not."
Angel pulled me to a man standing behind a counter with tubs of different colored stuff. I stood to the back of the group as the others ordered. Fang was just in front of me so I tapped him on the shoulder.
"What's good here?"
"You have to try the chocolate."
When I got to the counter I asked the man politely for some and he handed me a cone with a brown scoop on it. I half-skipped over to the table with the others. Fang and I had gotten chocolate, Max strawberry, Iggy and Gazzy cookie dough, Nudge vanilla and Angel got bubble gum. I took a hesitant lick and smiled as I tasted it. It was cold yet tasted extremely rich and delicious. I took a bite and everyone began to chuckle. Fang took a napkin and wiped my nose lightly. I blushed.
"Thanks."
"No problem, just slow down before you get brain freeze."
I smiled and finished my icecream. We spent the rest of the day walking around and enjoying the hot day. The sun was setting as we returned to the park and the giant tree to spend the night.
A/N: OK! So I can't remember if they actually did eat icecream in the book but wtv I love the idea of icecream. SO please R&R!
