I wake up in an unfamiliar place. I panic before remembering. "You're safe Snow," I tell myself and stretch as I get up.
I go to the kitchen. There is nothing but a note that reads: Snow, We went to go pick some strawberries. We didn't want to wake you, so we just left you this note. We'll be back soon.
From, the Flock
P.S. You're so cool! –Nudge
I laughed and smiled as I waited but after two minutes, something felt wrong. I heard screaming in my head, the flock screaming… I ran out the front door and jumped, extending my wings and flying towards the sound. When I got there, the Erasers/K9's(I'll just call them Erasers) were there and they were beating up Max and her flock. Max and Fang were doing decent but the rest were untrained and unprepared. I launched myself at the Eraser about to bite Nudge. He fell like a brick and I stepped on his back really hard, breaking it. She gasped for air, he had been choking her too, but she gave me a grateful smile.
I ran over to help Gazzy who was being used as a punching bag. He looked close to passing out as I gave his Eraser a really hard kick where the sun don't shine. He crumpled as I kicked him in the face, breaking his nose. Gazzy was so dizzy I had to steady him, and I laid him gently against a tree.
Then I heard an unmistakable scream. I turned to see Angel being shoved into a bag as she tried to punch, kick, and bite her attackers. I ran towards her, but was stopped by two Erasers. I pummeled them into the ground to see Angel being thrown into a car as it started to drive off. "Angel!" I screamed, before being smacked into the ground.
A few moments later, I sat up, my head spinning. Angel…. ANGEL! We needed to save her! "Max!" I yelled.
She got up slowly. "They have Angel, we need to get them," I said, my voice shaking.
Her face looked horrified. "Flock! They got Angel! You guys up for a chase?"
They sat up, and nodded. We all jumped into the air, extending our wings and flying toward her. After a minute, I saw her bring thrown into a plane. They had stuffed her in a bag. "Angel!" I yelled in desperation, and flew faster. I was right there, with Max right behind me. The plane was flying away but the back was open. There, five Erasers stood, one of them holding the bag she was in. The lead Eraser held up a gun and pointed it at me. Max looked at him and gaped. I couldn't think about that, I needed to save Angel, I needed to.
"If you don't wanna die," smiled the Eraser holding the gun. "Then you better back up." I glared at him.
"Fuck that," I said and flew full speed at him, only to get shot. It hurt but I still reached for the bag Angel was in. "Angel, I got you," I sent her a thought message.
"Snow, look out!" I heard but she was too late. I was kicked in the side and I got sent flying out of the plane, without Angel. The last thing I remember was Max flying after me as I fell through the air, unable to open my wings.
...
Groggily, I opened my eyes. I saw Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Max, and Gazzy. No Angel. I sobbed. They all looked at me in surprise. "Snow, you're up," Max said softly, running her hands through my hair comfortably.
"It's my fault!" I sobbed. "I almost had her!"
"It's not your fault." Max said sternly. "It's those scientists fault, those Erasers' faults. And my baby's going back to the School-"her voice cracked.
Then everyone's immediately burst into tears. She was Max's baby, Nudge's friend, my friend, Gazzy's biological little sister, Fang's little sister, and Iggy's friend. She was so innocent, and she might die now. Because I failed to save her.
