Chapter 10: The Search Begins

I miss him. Oh my god, I miss him. I miss him more than anything now. I want him back right now and not there.

I lay still as I could acting as though I was sleeping soundlessly on the floor for Max. She was stressed out enough; she didn't have to worry about trying to wrestle us to sleep. But now there was absolutely no way I could fall sleep.

They had Iggy. My big brother. He had been gone for a long time now and god knows what they are doing to him. I remember all the horrible stuff they did to me. All the horrible awful things that still haunt me. I miss Iggy so much and I'm scared for him.

I was always so close to him, I loved him more than anything. He was the second best brother (next to my sweet blood brother). He was always there for me to be around to talk to. Especially when Max and Fang went off by themselves. He always held me tight when Max was gone and when I was scared. That's how I learned he wants to see more than anything.

That's the only downside.

Iggy always forgets that I can read minds, and when he's alone I can hear his sadness and his pain. You have no idea how hard it is for him, well neither did I.

Angel…are you up? Gazzy sounded devastated in my mind as we communicated secretly.

Yeah you are up too huh? I pushed my thoughts gently at him as he pretended to snore softly.

Yeah I just can't sleep. I mean is he okay? What could they be doing to Iggy? I miss him more than anything in the world. Gazzy's voice sounded so sad and depressed as a new wave of tears hit me.

No, no more crying now. No more.

I know Gazzy. I know.

"We'll find him Max. I know we will." Fang whispered quietly in another room with Max. I snuggled closer to my brother listening. I know, I know eavesdropping is wrong but what do I have to lose now?

"We better. He's been through so much. Who knows what they are doing to him now!" max hissed lowering her voice as Nudge shook. She mumbled something unintelligible but returned back asleep.

I couldn't help it. I sat up from the couch and smoothed out my pink pajamas walking over to Max.

"Angel why are you up?" Max saw me immediately.

"I can't sleep my minds racing and I miss Iggy a lot." I mumbled into her shirt as she stroked my hair. Fang looked sadden again. Iggy was also close to him, being the same age Iggy always helped Fang with problems with Max.

Sounds funny huh?

"I know. We do too sweetheart but we just got to-" Max winced stopping as she pressed her fingers to her temples.

Must be the voice. I opened my mind to listen to hers.

Max, you must leave tonight. Right now. Fly to these coordinates by tomorrow night and rest here. Iggy will need your help soon, leave NOW.

What? What do you mean? Does Iggy need help? Is he okay? Now it was Max talking back to her voice.

I don't know Max but where he is nothing is good.

Exactly. Max sighed in her head and opened her eyes. She looked down at me obviously knowing I had read her mind.

You got that sweetie?

Oh yeah Max. Let's go now! I thought eagerly already racing to Gazzy and shaking him. Max smiled while Fang woke up Nudge.

It was time to save Iggy.
Dr. Martinez stood in her front yard right next to Ella, both with the same worried expression, not just for Iggy but all of us.

"Call me as soon as you land." Dr. Martinez said handing Max her backpack and supplies.

I looked over at the sunset that was just barely starting to rise over the hills now. Iggy always wanted to what the sunset looked like. He always imagined it in his head.

As soon as we get home I'm going to show him through my mind.

"Yes Mom." Max hugged her mother and her sister before each of us snapped out our wings and headed off for the skies. Just like people dream of.

"Where do we have to go?" Nudge yelled over the wind whipping in our faces.

"Ohio. We have to at least get there by tomorrow night. At least that's what the voice said." Max called back. Nudge nodded going silent again. No one was the same anymore.

Looks like there's a long flight ahead of us.

But for now I just pushed my mind away from Iggy and focused on the joy of flying. It just takes your breath away every time, being high over the clouds feeling like God. This was the closest thing to being in heaven for anyone. I just loved being up here every minute I was here. A smile crossed my teary face, Iggy had been the one who told me this when I was little back at the school. He had been when I had met him as a baby, but only just a few months before I came he could see.

Oh god Iggy please be okay.
"Oh god that was such a long flight! My wings are freaking throbbing and numb here. I can barely feel them and I'm soooo hungry. Max what's for dinner? We're going to eat right then rest. Right?" Nudge babbled on sounding like her old self.

I smiled at Nudge while max groaned.

We walked in the hotel room that had been rented under Max's moms name. Suspicion? Oh yeah. But we decided to check out the room. Once inside everyone broke out into doing whatever. Nudge found a magazine on fashion, Gazzy was making a bomb or something. Fang and max were examining the place, and I-

What is this? A letter?

I opened up the envelope up and found another letter addressed to us. But what was inside it shocked and horrified me. It was a bird feather.

Iggy's feather.

Sorry I miss Iggy already but he is up next! Cuz he's the main character and rocks! So I hope this chapter interested you, I had to put the flock in it somehow so it wouldn't look like they abandoned poor Iggy. Please review, I love them reviews! Thanks
