Aj: Guess what! In Social Studies we had to look up our family tree for important people we're related to and guess who I found out I was related to! Adolf Hitler and Queen Mary I (Bloody Mary.) Not so sure about Hitler even though he's a world dominator, but Bloody Mary is pretty cool. Anyways, I'm supposed to be asleep right now so this chapter will be short.
Nudge's eyes blinked open in horror. There had been so much unbearable pain as her mind had fought for control when the signals were weakening. She saw Fang and Iggy leaning over her while Angel was peering down the hallway. Nudge sensed her emotions and a chill ran a marathon up her spine. Horror, fear, and worry. Not to mention the wracking guilt building up in her like Nudge from when they were under Grey's control. Nudge also sensed that the boys hadn't noticed Angel, and that Max was nowhere to be seen.
"Where's Max?" Nudge asked Angel groggily.
"She went to catch up to Gazzy." Iggy replied, standing up from his kneeling position. Angel took off at a running start down the hallway with a disbelieving aura circling her. The rest of the flock took off after her to find her banging on a thick iron door that was bolted shut. Fang began to reach for her arm, but she looked at him with caution in her eyes.
"Max was separated from us." She whispered. Then they all joined Angel in pounding against the door even though it was obvious to all four of them that it was no use even with their superhuman strength. Iggy began kicking the door as hard as he could, a fierce determination layering his sightless blue eyes. Nudge and Iggy gave up first, followed by the sullen seven year old. Fang was the only one still trying. Even he gave up eventually though.
"They're picking us off one by one." Nudge realized.
"That just means we have to stay with each other at all times." Iggy muttered. "Of course I'd be dead weight though so you would end up leaving me all alone to be taken and tortured again."
"No Iggy. We won't." Fang stated fiercely. "Let's head up to the fourth floor." Iggy smiled and everyone nodded in agreement. They began to run before more things could happen on that floor until they reached the stairs. Nudge remembered that Grey had told her and Gazzy that it would get harder and harder each floor. How long would it be before one of them cracked? It was times like this that Nudge wished one of the others could read her emotions like she could read theirs so that they could comfort her. Angel was too busy reading Max and Fang's minds to read Nudge's so she felt almost alone.
The four looked at each other and nodded. They started bolting up the stairs until there was a brand new hallway in front of them. As soon as they stepped inside, a booming voice from out of nowhere came. "Well done. It won't last long though. I'm sure that Fang will just ditch you again. Or Iggy will throw a tantrum about being blind and get you caught this time. Or Angel will try to be leader again. Or Nudge will try to hack her wings off and be normal like she wanted to. You five are excellent entertainment though, oh wait, where's Maxi? Don't worry, she's in good hands." Grey cackled on some intercom system. Fang glared everywhere, even though Grey couldn't see him.
"If he lays one hand on her…" Fang was interrupted by an earsplitting scream.
Aj: Still thought I would leave you off with a cliffy. [Insert evil laugh here.] So instead of questions, how do you think Grey should mess with the flock's head in the remaining floors, 5-14? Tell me and I might use it, giving you credit of course. My ONE HUNDREDTH REVIEWER IS…. MaeWithWings97! Congratulations you win one virtual giant cookie.
