Chapter 2
(Fang) We were staying in a motel practically on the beach that we'd been at earlier today, unfortunately.
(Max) It seemed like everyone was having fun today, well almost everyone. Fang had seemed pretty fumed when I want to play volleyball (which by the way is a totally sissy sport why I agreed to play I don't know) with Kevin (oh yeah, that's why). I felt kind of bad that I made him that mad. It's just so weird that Fang loves me, loves me; not just like a sister. Maybe I felt the same way, but he wouldn't know because he's never given it a chance! Ugh, boys. I could think about that later, but right now I had to put the kids to bed. This motel was quite a step down from our last resting point in Colorado but it would do. I tucked in Angel, Gazzy, and Nudge and then said goodnight to Iggy. I went and locked the door then walked over to Fang who had set up blankets on the floor for me and him. I sat down on mine and waited to see if he'd say anything. I was wasting my time, of course he wouldn't because he's, "So how's your new friend?" I stared at him, "I hardly know the kid, give me a break." I snapped jesh, jealous much? He just looked down at his knees and said nothing. "I'm sorry," I put my arm around his shoulders. I really need to work on that whole controlling my temper thing, "Goodnight." I laid down and closed my eyes. "Goodnight," I heard that wonderfully familiar voice say. I smiled and we both drifted out of consciousness.
(Gazzy) I sat up in my bed, sweating, "Angel," I whispered trying not to wake anyone else.
"Gazzy?" She said, sitting up too.
"Angel, I have a feeling we need to go back to Arizona and see Max's mom."
"Me too, I'm not sure why, but i really think there's something wrong." I sighed and looked relieved that she thought so too, "Should we tell Max now or wait until morning?"
"I don't think this should wait," I said swinging my legs out of bed.
Angel got up too and said, "Dang, i really love the beach, i don't want to go." We tiptoed out of our room and saw Fang and Max laying on the floor together.
"Max, Max wake up," I shook her shoulder and saw her eyes pop open.
"What?!" She said in alarm accidentally smacking Fang with her arm as she sat up. I snickered at her as Fang said, "What the heck are you doing?"
"Max, we think your mom is in trouble and we need to get to Arizona fast!"
(Max) OK what were they talking about, my mom was in trouble? "Gazzy slow down, what are you talking about?"
"Well, Angel and I have this feeling that your mom needs help right now and if we don't get there soon it'll be too late!" Okay, this news.
Usually when an eight year old and a six year old want you to go somewhere in the middle of the night you tell them to go back to sleep, but this was my mom they were talking about and Angel and Gazzy weren't ordinary kids. So we packed up and left at 1:AM. Nudge was extremely tired and had trouble keeping pace, Angel and Gazzy seemed very proud of themselves and were pretending that they were leading the mission, Fang seemed positively ecstatic and so did Iggy. Weird, since when have those two been happy to wake up in the middle of the night to go fly across the country? Very suspicious.
We had been flying for about three hours now and the sun was begining to come up over the horizon. We could actually see my house (ha, my house, imagine that?) getting closer. OK good, we were almost there. "OK guys, here it is we'll check the house first to make sure she's not in there before we go looking around.
We landed and walked up the porch. We rang the doorbell and to our surprise, Ella opened the door. She was wearing light blue pajamas and her eyes were barely open. Ella didn't seem to register the scene for a minute but then realized it was us. Her eyes widened and she positively leaped through the door embracing me in a hug, "Max! Oh my gosh!" I hugged her back and then said, "Is mom here?" She looked worried, "No she's not, she went to the grocery store late last night and hasn't come back. I hope she's alright."
"Ella, where's the grocery store? We think she's in trouble we need to find her." "OK, follow this road here and when you hit the traffic light, turn left and you can't miss it," OK so to the grocery store! "Thanks Ella we'll be back in a bit." So we followed her directions and saw a terrible sight.
There was a fifteen car pile up and there were ambulances all over the place. We ran over to the scene only to see Mom being hauled away on a stretcher. We followed her to the ambulance and trued to climb in after her, "Excuse me ma'am are you family?" "Yeah of course this is our mom!" The man agreed to let us in so we climbed into the back feeling very claustrophobic. I looked at my mom and saw she was unconscious. Crap.
We arrived at the hospital and Mom was rolled away on a gurney leaving us waiting out in the hall. I drummed my fingers nervously on my knees. Fang came over and put his arm around me. "You're shaking," he said stroking my hair. "It's all right, she's going to be fine, don't worry," don't worry? Don't worry!?! Excuse me this is me we're talking about how can I not worry, my mom was just in a freaking huge car accident! "I know," was all I could muster. Ella came almost sprinting into the hall and stopped when she saw us. The flock looked at her and saw that she had streaks of tears down her face. "Ella," I said motioning for her to come sit next to me on the floor. She came over and sat down. Her arms were wrapped around her knees and she was sobbing into them; trust me, I know exactly how she felt. I hugged her and kept telling her that Mom was going to be OK even though I had no knowledge of that truthfully. To my surprise Iggy came over and sat next to Ella, stroking her hair and telling her it was alright. Whoa. This world is just full of surprises isn't it?
Two excruciating hours later a doctor told us that we could come in and see her. All of us walked into her room and Dr. Martinez smiled at us. Oh my gosh, that was one of the biggest relieves of my life along with when Fang had come out of surgery from getting a big gaping hole in his side thanks to my half brother. That memory made me wince. I made my way over to the bed and said, "What's the damage?" That's all I could say??? Wow, I really need to work on my communication skills. "Oh, Max," she said beaming at me. Oh man, I'm really not good with this whole gushy lovely thing. "It's only a few broken bones nothing major.
So Mom got all patched up and we headed back to the house. Mom was on crutches and had a cast on her left leg and a sling around her neck holding a broken left arm. Man, she got hammered pretty hard. We were all taking care of her, all seven of us.
(Iggy) It's kind of hard to help an injured person if you don't know where anything is and you can't seem to find it because well, your blind. But Max's sister Ella helped me out with that. "Iggy, you want to come upstairs and help me carry down some blankets for my mom?" Ella said from somewhere to my left. "Yeah, sure all come," I said as she grabbed my hand and lead me up the stairs and into her mom's room. The closet is over here she said leading me toward it. Apparently it was a walk-in closet because I felt around and it seemed like a small room. "Iggy, uh thanks for uh, calming me down at the hospital," Ella said. God I wish I could see her! I blushed, "Your welcome." Then I felt the most wonderfull sensation ever; Ella kissed me, and not just a peck, I mean really kissed me. My hands came up around her waist holding her closer and her arms wrapped around my shoulders. We tilted our heads in different directions so that we could kiss better when I heard a snicker from the direction we'd come in.
"Nice Ig," Fang said. "Damn it Fang I'll kill you!" I heard Fang jogging away and blood rushed to my face. "It's OK, we'll get him later," Ella said but I couldn't see the expression on her face so I didn't know what she had in mind. I'll kick myself later for asking this but, "Um Ella, what do you look like?" I just realized what a stupid question that was and was going to say never mind but she took my hand and moved it up so that I could touch her face. I felt her features and they were absolutely beautiful.
"Iggy, Ella! Where are those blankets?" Max called up. Oh yeah blankets, "We should go back downstairs." Ella said pushing a stack of blankets into my arms, "OK let's." I said, in the best mood of my life.
(Fang) Sure, Iggy and Max's sister get to hit it off in a closet but Max hardly looks at me. I stormed through Dr. Martinez's house to the front door and said, "I'm going out." Max started to say, "Where are y," but I slammed the door and did an up, up and away.
(Max) Shoot. Fang storming out of the house is never good. "Uh guys, you help mom for a while and I'll catch up with you later," I ran to the door and flung my self out, immediately looking up to see if he'd taken off. Sure enough, he was a speck, but visible. I unfolded my wings and took off in pursue of Fang.
(Fang) I saw Max flying toward me and speed up. I looked back to see if she was still following me; she was. With her freaking supersonic speed, she caught up with me easily and said, "We need to talk." I hated my self for doing this but I ignored her and dived down toward the trees to get away. I looked back again to see if she was coming and uh, BIG MISTAKE. I was plummeting too fast and had gone into tree level. I tryed to steer through it but that was impossible. My wings clipped several trees and as i thought this could't get any worse, I seemed to be headed for a really big rock. I hit it but ricishaed off and into a lake. Just my luck. I started sinking and wouldn't have if I could've moved at least one part of my body but we can't always get what we want. Water whooshed into my lungs as I could no longer hold my breath and I was sure I was done for because I drifted into darkness. Normally I like the dark but this time, not so much
(Max) "Fang!" I was weaving through the trees toward him when I saw him hit a humugus rock and fall into a lake. Talk about bad luck. I skidded to a stop on top of the rock and saw Fang sinking fast. I dove in after him, grabbing him around the waste and pulling him to the surface. I dragged him to shore and saw he wasn't breathing. Let me tell you, breathing is one of those essential things in life.
Oh god, oh god, what do I do?! I think I saw somewhere that you push his stomach so water comes out. I tryed that and it was like a Fang water fountain. Ok good, but he still wasn't breathing. I think I have to blow air into his mouth. Crap. So I opened his mouth and placed mine on his as I blew lung fulls of air in.
He coughed and spit out some water and started breathing. Score one on the breathing!
His eyes fluttered open and I gasped. I fell on him immediately, "Fang! I thought you were gone for good!"
