Nothing Like This- Chapter 8 (New Powers)
This chapter is basically about what the flock went though during Max's disappearance time.
FANG POV
6 months, it's been 6 months since Max left, and, everything was going well. Iggy and Gazzy have gone back to making bombs and Nudge and Angel are laughing and having fun again. I…well, I guess I'm ok. I'll admit it, I love Max, and I miss her like crazy. But, of course, I had to act impassive. I checked Max's safe on that lone night 6 months ago. True to her word, there was a CD collection inside. But, one was labeled Fang.
I sat there now, listening to one of the many songs she had recorded herself on this CD. It was my favorite because I thought it fit Max perfectly.
Miss independent
Miss self sufficient
Miss keep your distance mmmmmMiss unafraid
Miss out my way
Miss don't let a man interfere, no
Miss on her own
Miss almost grown
Miss never let a man help her off her throne
So, by keeping her heart protected
She'd never ever feel rejected
Little miss apprehensive
said ooo, she fell in love
What is this feeling taking over
Thinking no one could open the door
Surprise it's time to feel what's real
What happened to Miss independent
No longer need to be defensive
Goodbye old you when love is true!
Miss guarded heart
Miss play it smart
Miss if you want to use that line you better not start, no
But she miscalculated
She didn't want to end up jaded
And this Miss decided not to miss out on true love
So, by changing her misconceptions
She went in a new direction
And found inside she felt a connection
She fell in love
What is this feeling taking over
Thinking no one could open the door
Surprise it's time to feel what's real
What happened to Miss independent
No longer need to be defensive
Goodbye old you when love, when love is true
When Miss independent walked away
No time for love that came her way
She looked in the mirror and thought today
What happened to Miss no longer afraid
It took some time for her to see
How beautiful love could truly be
No more talk of why can't that be me
I'm so glad I finally see…
What is this feeling taking over
Thinking no one could open the door
Surprise it's time to feel what's real
What happened to Miss independent
No longer need to be defensive
Goodbye old you when love
when love, when love is true...
Miss independent
The song came to an end and I shut of my CD player. Ripping the earphones from my ears, I head out to the small lake where Angel and Nudge were playing. Iggy had created it a few months ago, to liven up the mood, by blasting (yes, with a bomb) a hole in the ground, covering it with tarp, and filling it with water.
Going invisible, I snuck up behind Gazzy as he passed the pool, barely standing on the edge. I heard Iggy snicker, I guess he could hear me. I pushed Gazzy in the pool from behind and he came up sputtering, still unable to see me. I laughed silently but, as I walked away, I stumbled and grabbed onto the bench that Iggy was sitting on for support.
I was the flock stare at Iggy in amazement and I looked over too. Iggy was floating? I stood up and the table appeared and then sat back down again and it became invisible. I snuck over to Iggy and placed my hand on his arm. Normally, we would flip out if something like that happened but Iggy knew I was coming so he wasn't scared. He quickly disappeared and reappeared as I came into view. The flock looked at me with confused glances before smiling and nodding in understanding.
I guess I can make other things invisible too!
NUDGE POV
I opened my eyes and surveyed my surroundings. I was in my room? But, I was just in the kitchen! How is this possible? Well, only one guy can answer that…
"FANG!!!!" I ran down into the backyard where Fang had been training with Iggy. Now, he, and Iggy, were watching my with sheer confusion.
"Oh My God!!! I was just in the kitchen, eating. And then, like, I thought about my room, cause I wanted to go lay down, cause I was tired. So, I closed my eyes. Like, I…what's the word…blinked. And, I opened them, and I was in my room! Then I, like, freaked out so I came down here and I wanted to know if you knew what was going on." I stopped there, seeing the look that Fang was giving me and seeing that Iggy was cupping his hands over his overly-sensitive ears.
Fang thought for a minute before responding, "Go back to your room, and think about here, in the backyard. I think I know what's going on." I nodded and ran back to my room. I was confused but I did as I was told. Closing my eyes, I thought of the yard.
I heard as gasp and I opened my eyes. I was in the backyard!!! And, the flock was staring at me. "I can teleport!!!" I screamed out, thinking of different rooms and transporting between them all. When I finally stopped in the backyard once more, Fang stopped me, saying, "Don't wear yourself out!" I teleported to my room and before I could register, I fell back on my bed, drifting off to dreamland.
HEY! Well, thanks for reading. I know this chapter kind of sucks. I just needed scenes where they discover their new powers cause they will be important later on in the story. Well, that's all I can say for now. Watch out for the update and review!!!
