Hey guys. I am so so so so so sorry that I took so long to update, it's just that I had loads of homework and tests I had to revise for and other school stuff. Sorry!

I would like to say a HUGE thank you to those of you who reviewed, you really made my day. I didn't actually think I'd get any reviews, so to get more then 1 is unbelievable for me!

Onwards with the story!

I gritted my teeth and quickly kneed Ari as hard as I could. He fell over, dropping his gun which skidded a bit away from him. I really needed that gun. It could be the difference between me living or dying. I stumbled over Ari, but He kicked my shin, making me tumble down next to him.

I started wriggling towards the gun, extending my arm as far as I could. Ari grabbed my ankle and tried yanking me back, but I kicked and trashed until he couldn't hold me leg anymore. He started to try and get up, but I kicked him in the stomach, making him fall backwards, away from me and his gun.

I tried picking myself up and I stumbled in a half crouching position to the where Ari's gun was lying on the grass.

Just as my fingers brushed the barrel, I felt something grab hold of the back of my shirt, hauling me up.

I made a strangled noise as Ari lifted me off my feet and into the air. He turned me to face him.

He had a cocky smile on his face as I thrashed and wriggled, but I couldn't get out of his grip.

"Aww. You always try so hard, Max. Try so hard, but never succeed. You always fail."

"Me? Fail? Forget about the time I broke your neck, dog breath?" I snarled back at him.

His face darkened, and he lifted his leg and kneed my in the stomach.

I made a very quiet noise, trying not to show any signs of being in pain (which I was. Majorly.) My wounded shoulder throbbed and every time I moved my right arm or wing it sent waves of agony in my shoulder.

"Max? Max!"

I heard a very faint voice. It was so faint, I could have easily have imagined it.

I heard it again. Great? So now I was hearing another voice? But then Ari cocked his head, and I realised he heard it too.

Suddenly I remembered that Fang had probably just heard that whole thing. I looked at the ground, squinting so I could see better, and I could just see the faint outline of my phone on the ground where I had dropped it when Ari grabbed me.

Suddenly, I realised while Ari was distracted was the best time to escape. I started violently thrashing, and he let me go, clearly not expecting it. I hit the ground with an oof and instantly rolled away from where Ari could kick me while I was down and stood up shakily.

Ari growled in rage, and started to morph. It was a horrifying sight, watching a regular human mouth elongate into a hairy muzzle, fingernails grow into sharp claws, and all the other terrible things that happened when and eraser morphed.

It was disturbing, but also impossible to look away. The process only lasted about ten second, but it looked painful, and obviously was by the noise Ari made.

I then realised that maybe I should have lunged for the gun while Ari was morphing, and dove to it. I grabbed it and triumphantly stood up, swinging round to face Ari.

My shoulder screamed in agony as the heavy gun pulled me down. I had to use so much strength to hold it up, I wondered how Ari did it. But my shoulder injury did weaken me quite a lot.

I struggled to lift it how I was supposed to, at shoulder level, then I planted my feet shoulder width apart. Yeah I know how to use a gun, get me.

Ari's morphed face twisted into one of insane rage as I quickly shot him in the shoulder, as he'd done to me. He staggered back a bit, but didn't fall. Then he howled and charged at me.

I fired a few more times, staggering back. He apparently doesn't really mind bullet wounds.

He barrelled into me, slamming me into the ground. I skidded back a few feet with Ari on top of me.

He yanked the gun out of my hand and hit me over the head with it.

My vision went completely black, and I couldn't see.

I freaked out and bucked violently, throwing Ari off me.

I staggered upright and sprinted to where my phone was on the ground.

I lifted it to my ear as Ari fired more shots at me, but I managed to just dodge them.

"Yo." I breathed to Fang, still sprinting.

"Max! What happened, are you ok? Where are you? Quickly!"

I extended my wings as I ran, causing my wounded shoulder to explode in pain. My right wing was covered in blood.

"Uhhh I don't know where I am. I'm fine." I forced out.

I quickly peeked over my shoulder to see Ari gaining on me still aiming his gun at me.

One of his bullets grazed the edge of my outstretched wings and I pulled them in sharply.

"Max! I need you to find out where the hell you are so I can help you!"

"Little busy here Fang!" I shouted into my phone, just as a bullet went so close to my head it actually moved a chunk of my hair, causing me to yell a bunch of swear words as loud as I could. No need for details.

"What!" Fang yelled back at me.

"Nothing!" I needed to get in the air. Even with my shoulder, in the air I stood a fighting chance against Ari with his patchwork wings.

"I need to get into the air." I mumbled.

"What?" Fang said.

"I need to get in the air!" I yelled back, still dodging bullets as I ran through the park.

"Why can't you just fly normally?" Fang said back at me.

"My shoulder- It doesn't matter. I just need to be off the ground."

Another bullet missed me by a hair's breadth.

"I'll get you soon, freak!" Ari yelled.

"You wish!" I practically screamed back. Not the best comeback ever, but I was under pressure.

This isn't going to work! I thought to myself.

"What?" Fang said

"what?"

"You said something."

"I did?"

"Yeah…"

Did I say that out loud? Oh well.

I unfurled my wings once again, trying to ignore the pain and jumped onto one of the benches in the park. I then jumped off the bench and started flapping like crazy.

I dropped alarmingly close to the ground, so close that I scraped my knee, but I managed to stay up.

"Yes!" I shouted.

I was shakily flying away from Ari. I tried to block out the pain in my shoulder as I peeked behind me to see Ari unfurling his own wings.

"Fang!" I yelled. "Fly roughly south from Anne's house. I think that's where I went! I'm heading north at the moment so we should meet in the middle."

"Okay!" was Fang's answer.

I looked behind me again as I attempted to get into hyper speed, and saw Ari shouting into a phone.

He was calling for backup.

So yeah. That was chapter 2. I'm so sorry for uploading it so late, and just want to thank those of you who reviewed again. You really brightened up my day and made my world!

I'll try to upload one tomorrow, but knowing me, procrastinator alert, it might be later than that.

So…. Please review?

Fly on- Raven
