Waiting
Max's POV
I saw the bomb dropping and looked into the sky seeing Iggy and Gazzy right above us. The bomb was coming right on top of us. What the hell where they playing at? It was too late for me and Angel to run for it but I had to save my baby! I jumped on top of Angel and protected her with myself. The impact of the bomb was immense. My body felt like it was on fire, hell it probably was. But I didn't care as long as Angel was safe. And she was. That was the last thing I noticed before I blacked out and fell into the never ending darkness. Only just hearing the murmuring of the people around me until it all just faded out.
Fang's POV
I was staring at Nudge as she was in fits of tears. I asked her what was wrong but she just shrugged and wiped her eyes furiously saying nothing. I could see something Angel had said had disturbed her but she wasn't letting me in on it. I saw her nod slightly then suddenly she yelled to me.
"We need to get to the cave….fast!" She ordered. I gave her a questioning glance and she explained. "The rest of the flock are almost there and want us to hurry up." I nodded and we sped up. I didn't see how the flock could be there before me and Nudge as we had taken the shortest route but then again we did stop off for a refuel. That and Nudge needed the loo.
We finally reached the empty cave. "Nudge, I thought you said the flock were almost here?" I said. Nudge looked at me and burst into tears again. This is just too much emotion for me. I was stumped; I didn't know what to do so I just stood there and stared at her awkwardly. Max would know what to do in a situation like this, I found myself thinking. I slowly crept over and sat down next to Nudge trying as hard as I could to comfort her. "What is it Nudge, just tell me!" I pleaded with her. I knew something had gone wrong.
"Is it Angel? Is it Max? Is it Iggy? Is it Max? Is it the Gasman? Is it Max?" I found myself repeating over and over again. Nudge sniffed and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. "It's Max" She muttered.
"IT'S MAX?!" I bellowed. Nudge nodded slightly. I jumped up and flew out the cave in search of Max. Nudge was on my tail. Not literally.
Iggy's POV
Damn it, Damn it, Damn it! Why did I let Gazzy throw that bomb? WHY? We both flew down to Max's side and I checked her over. She was unconscious and she was breathing very deeply. She had a faint pulse and was burnt from head to toe. We moved her body into the recovery position and yanked an unharmed Angel out from underneath her. Max had a couple of broken bones: An arm and a leg, a punctured lung and a cracked rib. Angel was crying frantically at her side so bad that Gazzy had to pull her away so I could bandage Max up properly. Where's Fang and Nudge? "Fang's on his way. I told Nudge not to tell him so he wouldn't panic. But Nudge cracked" Angel babbled reading my thoughts. We just sat around Max and waited. There was nothing we could do except hope things would be alright. Max had lost a lot of blood through cuts and bruises and her ankle was very swollen. But she'd hopefully be fine…hopefully.
After about an hour of waiting Max finally stirred. She was still asleep but she did move around a bit which was a good sign. Angel and Gazzy where both dropping off and after the eventful day we had I didn't blame them one bit. I volunteered for first watch. We where still unsure of Fang and Nudges whereabouts but we knew they would either stay in the cave or come looking for us. Chances where if Fang knows Max is hurt it'll be the second one. Another 5 minuets passed peacefully and then I heard two figures circling us. One dropped down and the other stayed in the air. Two more figures came and crept up on the one still in the air, taking it away. I was on high alert now. I nudged Angel and Gazzy waking them up but then relaxed as I realised it was Fang that had been coming down. Did that mean it was Nudge that got taken away? Damn it… could anything else go wrong today?
