Shoot
Max's POV
I awoke to four faces staring down at me intently. Then came the pain. I winced then my senses flicked to high alert. There where five other people in my flock. Face count. Fang, he was holding me, check. Iggy, he was bandaging my foot, check. Gazzy, hugging my arm…which I'm sure is broken, check. Angel, stoking my head, check. Nudge nowhere to be seen, nowhere to be heard, uncheck. I shot up, pain searing through my whole body. "Where's Nudge!" I yelled. Tears streaming down my face as the realisation hit me that I was down and Nudge was out. Fang and the rest of the flock shifted around uncomfortably. Then Fang spoke. "I'm sorry Max, I should have been watching her but I was more worried about you!" He whispered just loud enough for me to hear. "You what!?" I yelled causing more pain to shoot into me. Fang winced and looked remorseful. This totally shocked me being the Mr Unemotional he is. I realised that sounded a bit harsh but then I remembered Nudge was missing and it was his fault! Ok that was harsh. I noticed Angel winced at my thoughts and I looked over to her. I left Fangs grasp slowly and crawled over to Angel giving her a big cuddle. "Sorry honey, just ignore my thoughts!" I mumbled into her hair. Angel nodded.
"Max I'm sorry!" I heard Fang whisper before he got up and flew into the air. I looked over at Angel to get her to tell me what he was thinking. "He hates himself. He hurt you!" Angel replied.
"No Gazzy threw the bomb!" Iggy smiled. I laughed.
"Tell him to come back…It's ok" I muttered to Angel and she nodded.
Fang's POV
I flew off in search of Nudge. There was no way that I could do this to Max. It was my fault Nudge had gone. My stupidity and my love. I couldn't leave it like that. I can't hurt Max. I hate myself for it! Suddenly I felt the presence of Angel in my head. "Fang come back…Max said it's ok, she misses you! No…She needs you!" My breath froze in my throat. She forgave me? After I lost Nudge. That was un-Max like. "Just come back Fang!" Angel yelled in my head. I reluctantly nodded and turned around. You can't say no to Angel. I saw the rest of the flock all laughing together and I felt a pang of regret. "Fang!" Angel screamed excitedly and ran towards where I had landed and was now walking in their direction. "Hey" I mumbled to her. I looked over to Max and felt myself almost blush when she smiled in my direction. I felt Angel giggle beside me and realised she must have been reading my mind. Damn. "Just tell her!" Angel told me in my head. "No I can't!" I thought back. "I screwed up today and she's never going to forgive me properly."
"No…she will, she loves you Fang!" Angel said. I stumbled. She what!?
"Just tell her how you feel!" Angel thought.
I shook my head. "Fine Angel but in my own time. When I want to" I smiled.
"But then you'll never tell her." Angel thought back.
"Exactly" I risked a smile. We finally reached the rest of the flock and me and Angel took our places around the fire. Me sitting opposite Max next to Iggy and Angel on Max's lap.
Iggy's POV
The whole flock where sitting round the fire. Well minus Nudge. Although I couldn't see I could still trace the emptiness of the flock. The quietness. Max had Angel on her lap meaning that she had healed mostly. I could feel her wince a bit every time she or Angel moved. The night went on slowly and we all were really bored but too tired to do anything except talk. "I know, let's play Truth and Dare!" Angel suddenly commanded. Reluctantly we all agreed. "Who first then?" Max asked. I looked over at where Fang was sitting and apparently so did everyone else because I heard him suddenly say "What are you all looking at me for?" Worry in his voice.
