Chapter 3
Max's POV
"Hey that's the border, finally, I wonder what Nevada's like, does it have pine trees Max? I love pine trees, the leaves are really comfortable..."
"Nudge is back," sniggered Iggy.
"Yes Nudge, I'm sure they have pine trees," I said, rolling my eyes. Fang looked over at me and gave me one of his famous half smiles. I swear my heart just skipped a beat. No, Max, focus, Angel, Angel. Damn these teenage hormones.
Suddenly an ominous black shape appeared on the horizon.
"Uh, guys I think we're here," I said, trying to send my thoughts out to Angel. We're here sweetie, we're coming to get you.
"So what's the plan Max?" Asked Gazzy.
I hadn't really thought that one over. "Um, we storm in, find Angel and rescue her taking as many whitecoats and flyboys down as we can."
"I like it, simple and easy to remember," said Total, bursting into laughter. We all gave him weird looks, maybe, after the strain of losing Angel, he had finally lost it.
"Oh, come on you guys. You mean to tell me that you've never seen Pirates Of The Caribbean!?" Said Total, in between gasps.
"Ughh," we all groaned as we flew towards Deathville USA.
Angel POV
I can't wait until we capture subject 1.I heard a whitecoat think. We just need to erase subject 11's memory.Crap. Crap. Crap. I wonder what it'd be like to be a giraffe.What the!?! Erase my memory! I need to get out of here.
Suddenly, a whitecoat burst through my room's door wheeling a metal gurney. I was strapped down onto the cold metal and wheeled into a large, bare room with just a computer in the corner and what I thought looked like an operating table in the middle. The whitecoat picked me up and fixed me to the operating table. I arched by back in a desperate attempt to struggle but I couldn't move my arms or legs. I started thinking frantically. What would Max do? What would Max do?
They must have drugged me, why didn't I think of that sooner? Electrodes were attached to my temples and a band was stretched over them to keep everything in place. I tried once again to struggle but my body wouldn't respond. I could feel panic rising within me as I heard the telltale noise of switches being flipped.
"I'm going to die," I thought aloud, I hadn't realised it but I had subconsciously sent this thought to Max.
Now she would be dragged in to this trap all because of me.
Max POV
I'm going to die.I heard Angel say in my head.
Something clicked inside me when I heard this. My wings shimmered gold for an instant and then...
WHOOOOOSH...
I'm coming for you Angel. I was soaring at over 300mph towards the hell hole that Angel was being kept in. Keep it going Max, you cansave her.
"Waaaiiitttt," I heard Fang screech behind me. I wasn't stopping. Angel needs me. Angel is in danger. At that moment, these were the only thoughts running through my head.
Max.I heard Angel say. Nothing. ANGEL. ANGEL, ARE YOU THERE? I thought, frantically trying to reach her with my mind.
Nothing, maybe I was too late. NO, YOU ARE NOT GIVING UP YET MAXIMUM RIDE. YOU PROMISED TO KEEP HER SAFE. YOU WILL KEEP THAT PROMISE.
Angel POV
After realising that I had sent that message to her, I quickly tried to warn her of the imminent danger her and the rest of the Flock was about to face.
Max...To late. Excruciating pain burst from my temples. I was powerless to do anything, even think. Angel. Angel are you there?I heard Max think, I tried to reply, but I was in so much pain, I was unable to do anything. A black mist started to cloud my vision. I'm sorry Max, I tried to think but it was lost in the darkness.
I felt nothing after that.
