What the heck? I thought as I fell. My arm throbbed and my wings weren't working properly.
"Max!" Nudge cried. "Fang! Do something!"
I couldn't hear what else was said because I was too far away. I was too far away!! Crap! I was going to die! "HELP!" I screamed. "I'm falling!"
I heard a faint scream, most likely Nudge, which caused terror to shoot through me. I was falling. Fast. And when you couldn't hear Nudge, you knew something was wrong. Nudge was the loudest kid I'd ever known. Heck, you could hear her from a mile away!
I was temporarily blinded when my hair whipped around my face, covering my eyes. I did the best I could to flip around, so I could see. I wish I didn't. The ground was getting bigger.
Bigger.
Bigger.
Ok, you get the point. But just in case:
BIGGER.
I quickly flipped over again, this time holding my hair so I could see. Someone- or something- was flying toward me. I couldn't even yell when I hit the ground. Surprisingly, I didn't even hear the crunch of bones snapping. I didn't feel any pain. Something wasn't right. Or was it?
I tried to stand up, falling as I put weight on my left arm. Dang it! It hurt so much! Tears quickly filled my eyes.
"Are you okay?" I heard a light, airy voice behind me. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bump into you. I didn't know there was anyone else in the sky. I'm Dee, by the way."
Rubbing my wrist, I looked up at this strange girl. "Am I okay?? I could've died! You totally wrecked my wrist!" I shouted angrily.
Dee looked hurt. "I- I'm sorry- I really didn't mean to. You look okay to me. Well, except for your wrist… but it heals quickly, right?"
"Yeah, but that's not the point! Because you weren't paying attention, I could've died! I am not okay! Do you have any idea how freakin' horrible it is to fall through the sky?? Your wings not working? Have you ever been in that situation? Huh? No, no, you have not!
"Er, no… I'm really sorry, I honestly didn't mean-"
"Yeah, you didn't mean to, but look what happened!!" I was mad now. Who did she think she was, coming up here and hitting me so hard she broke my wrist?
"I really didn't mean to! I'm sorry!" She yelled.
"Well sorry doesn't cut it!" I yelled back. I stood, using my right arm this time, my left hanging by my side. "Stay away from me, and my Flock!"
Taking a running start, I leaped into the air, my wings powerful behind me, and I flew into the sky.
Maximum, Maximum, Maximum.
What?!
You are being very foolish, you know. Dee did not mean any harm,
She broke my arm! She's so, so, so… oh I don't know! There's something wrong about her!
Maximum. Sometimes bad things must happen for good things to come.
Voice! SHUT UP! Just leave me alone, okay??
As you wish, Maximum. As you wish…
