Okay, it has literally been months since I last updated. My world has been pretty crazy lately. But, the craziness has started slow down, and it's spring break for my school! Yay! Okay so a couple more chapters coming your way so check for the next one constantly! Enjoy!
(Max's POV) I woke up to the sound of shattering glass. I sat up and looked around. The rest of the flock was awake to, wondering what the noise had been. We all looked at each other, and then silently crept out of Fang's room. At the bottom of the stairs, I motioned for everyone to be quiet and stay behind me. I peeked around the corner. The glass sliding door in the kitchen had been smashed, but not a soul was in sight.
Angel, I thought at her, is there anyone around?
No, she sent back. No one but us, your mom, and Ella.
I slid into the kitchen and looked around. Nothing. Then who broke the glass?
We split up and explored the rest of the house. Fang and Iggy went upstairs, Gazzy, Angel, and Nudge searched downstairs, and I looked around outside. All was silent. Around the yard were some strange markings, like claw marks. Four claws on four paw/feet things, and they must've been on their hands and knees. They couldn't have been regular animals' claw marks because they had to have been made by something bigger than me.
Nudge's scream split the silence that had engulfed the night. I sprinted inside, running into Fang and Iggy on the way. We found Nudge screaming and crying her head off in my sister's room.
"What is it?" I asked her. She was weeping to hard to talk, so she just pointed at my sister's bed. I walked over, and then noticed the sheets. Had they always been red? There were scratches like the ones outside on them. Oh, my God. My sister had been literally ripped to shreds. I copied Nudge and immediately began to bawl my eyes out. I heard Iggy start yelling, his voice thick with tears and emotion. Strong arms wrapped around me. Fang. I just sat there in Fang's arms and continued to cry.
I began to try to pull myself together after at least half an hour of crying. I looked at Nudge. "Where are Gazzy and Angel?" I asked.
"I don't know," she said, tears still flowing rapidly down her cheeks. I felt so bad for her. She was eleven years old, and she had seen the body of someone she really cared about that was shredded to pieces.
"We split up. They went in Dr. Martinez's room." Nudge looked very scared. "What if the thing that did this to Ella was in her room?!? What if it did this to Gaz and Angel and your mom, too? Oh, my God!"
She ran across the hall, with me at her heels. The room was completely empty. Angel, Gazzy, and my mom had all disappeared.
"GAZZY! ANGEL!" I yelled. "MOM?" I knew it was no use. They had probably been taken by whatever had killed Ella, while we were crying.
I could still hear Iggy yelling and crying from Ella's room, and Fang's soothing voice attempting to comfort him. Nudge was crying again, laying face down on the carpet. The sounds faded out. The world turned shades of gray, and then I lost consciousness.
Okay, what did ya think? Pretty good, huh? Okay, I know there was some weird stuff, like it wouldn't take Max that long to notice that two of the flock members were missing. Well, actually, she might have, I guess. I don't know, whatever. I thought the ending was really good though. I was impressed with myself, I gotta say. Yeah, review, tell me what you thought.
