Chapter 4

-Max POV-

Gazzy couldn't be patient enough for Nightsbane to think of a way out; he had to whine the entire time.

"How are we getting out, Night?"

Nightsbane just glared at him.

"Shut up, I'm working on it,"

He was brutal, but if that's what it took for him to get us out, I say just let him. Soon, Nightsbane pressed his ear against the door. He backed away to the other side of the room.

"Stay out of my way."

Then before we could react, Nightsbane ran full speed into the door and fell over. OK, I didn't have a plan to get us out, but I thought that was plain stupid; until the guard ran in.

"What happened?! I heard a loud slam!"

I stepped above Nightsbane and felt his neck. It was still warm, but there was no pulse! I started breathing hard.

"He's not breathing!"

The guard put down his weapon and kneeled next to Nightsbane. Suddenly, Nightsbane's eyes opened wide and he attacked the guard.

"Get out!"

I nodded and led the flock outside; Nightsbane soon joined us. We were in the "school yard;" it was blocked off everywhere.

"Way to go, Nightsbane!"

I could understand Fang's frustration, but now wasn't a good time to turn on each other. I heard the Erasers, monstrous wolf-like creatures who guard the "school", approaching the yard. Nightsbane immediately went to the nearest wall and felt it; he dragged his hand against the walls until he found what he was looking for, whatever that was. He backed away from it and got ready to charge into it; what was with this guy and throwing himself into walls?

An Eraser grabbed him from behind and started to drag him, but Nightsbane was already angry enough; He spun around and grabbed the Eraser's head and snapped it, then he tore it off! Blood went everywhere! Can we say overkill, much? Nightsbane faced the wall and charged at it. I closed my eyes, expecting to hear his body crunch against the wall, as he ran into the wall full speed, undaunted. I heard his footsteps stop, but then I heard the wall crumbling; I opened my eyes in shock as I watched an entire section of the school's wall fall to the ground. Nightsbane faced the rest of the flock.

"Let's go!"

My flock and I took off into the sky and started to fly away, only to realize that Nightsbane wasn't with us.

"Hey! Down here!"

We looked down to see Nightsbane keeping up with us on foot! What did they do to him? I landed when we got to a safe distance away from the school; Nightsbane soon joined us.

"Where were you, Night? How come you didn't fly?"

He glared at me as he caught his breath.

"Maybe you don't know this, but I got these wings just TODAY! I don't know how to use them!"

I sighed and looked at my flock. I couldn't endanger them just for one person, but he was the guy that got us out.

'Let him come'

I looked at Angel as she gave me "the puppy-dog" eyes. I hated when she did that because I could never win against that. I sighed as I looked at Nightsbane.

"Well, we're gonna fix that."
