Chapter 3:
Max paces the kitchen, biting her already chewed nails.
Fang and Iggy have been missing for over 3 hours.
Nudge says she sees them go out for a fly often, but they're always home in time to make breakfast. Now its 11am, and way past breakfast time for mutant bird kids; its considered pre lunch by now.
They have already flown the area and nothing, Max can tell they little ones are becoming increasingly considered but are trying to act brave.
She can't let them down; she needs to find their older brothers.
They find a clearing and with her hawk vision she can clearly see the several footprints in the snow.
Too many for just two mutant bird boys to make.
They swoop down in perfect unison, as she gets closer she sees something that makes her heart drop.
A white speckled feather trail, with drags in the snow along with it. A twin mark with black feathers along beside it.
Max knows where they are now, her shaking hands come up to her mouth as she stifles a sob.
The School found them.
Hey, sorry this is so short, really just making a away for the flock to find out what happened.
Iggy and Fang will return in the next chapter for some super painful angst (seriously, I was getting stomach lurches from it)
