The Island
"Oh, this was such a bad idea. I can't believe I left the flock in Iggy's hands! Haven't I done that before?" And swore not to do it again? I added in my head.
"Calm down." Fangs quiet voice came from beside me. "We're almost to the island."
The island, yep I let Fang talk me into it. Stupid, stupid me. How could I think we could just leave the mission?
Because you can't Max. I know that and you know that.
Watch me. I challenged my Voice."So how long do you think it will take the white coats to find us if we live on this little island?"
"Hopefully never." He paused. "So are you going to forget the mission?"
"No! Don't you remember my very long rant last time you told me to?"
"Oh, right. Why are you so intent on saving the world? Why don't you let someone else do it?"
I thought about it for a minute. "I don't really know. I just feel like it's the right thing to do."And I don't think its mistake. I added in my head. And you know how many times I make mistakes. Never. Well almost never.
"Down now." Fang ordered. We both tucked in our wings and aimed downward. I don't know if you've ever been thousands of feet in the air flying then shot down like a rocket but it's so wicked! You have no idea, really.

The island turned out to be more then I had dared hoped for and it had plenty of fruit and even cave to sleep in! The water was warm and groups of fish swam by in huge groups. This is a big mistake Max; get back to your flock and start saving the world.
Remember in NY when you told me to have fun? Well, this might be the type of thing I classify as fun.
I could almost hear my voice tisk in disapproval.
I'm telling you Max you're making a huge mistake.
If you looked up annoying in the dictionary you might find a picture of me talking to a Voice in my head, rolling my eyes, but it more likely it would be under insane.
"Hmm, I think tomorrow if we live 'til then or are still in the area we should show the rest of the flock." I said to Fang after a few silent minutes. Of course Fang like never talks but he did grin again it felt like it was lighting up our little part of the jungle like island.
Will the rest of the flock be safe? Will they like the island? Will Max decide to live there? Review to find out!
