Chapter 13
Fang POV
I rushed out of my room, still clutching the note. I ran up behind them.
"What happened?"
Then I looked down and saw a smear of blood on the floor next to the stairs. Oh no…Max… The note wasn't lying…
"Everyone gather! Meeting!"
Once they got there, I read the note to them, and everyones' smiles disappeared.
"I knew it was too good to be true."
Ash muttered.
"We need to find out what they mean. I think they are talking about Pink, and where Max buried her."
I saw Iggy wince when we mentioned Pink. Then I saw him scowl. We all knew what he was thinking about.
"I say we let Max get herself out of this one. It was her decision to leave, and their decision to follow."
We all stared at Iggy, everyone but me gaping. I was glaring at him using my worst glare. He looked me right in the eye.
"IGGY!? ARE YOU STUPID? DID THE ERASERS DISECT YOUR BRAIN? MOM HAS BEEN TAKING CARE OF YOU FOR 15 YEARS! WHY WOULD YOU ABANDON HER NOW? BESIDES, SHE HAS YOUR KID! IF YOU REALLY DON'T CARE, MAYBE MOM WAS RIGHT! MAYBE SHE SHOULD HAVE RAISED YOUR KID! YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T CARE! MY BROTHER AND SISTER ARE STUCK IN THAT CABIN, AND THEY LEFT GLARING AT ME BECAUSE I WAS HELPING YOU! AND IF YOU THINK I WILL LET YOU SIT HERE MOPING BECAUSE YOUR GIRLFRIEND DIED YOU HAVE ANOTHER THING COMING!"
Storm yelled at him. Iggy looked shocked and I could tell everyone else was staring at him in shock. I ignored them staring at Storm, and kept glaring at Iggy, with my arms crossed. He looked away, and I could see the tears well up in his eyes.
"Besides, how are we going to find where Max buried Pink?"
I asked, breaking the silence.
"I know where Pink is buried. I read Max's mind and I saw a picture of a pretty field with lots of wild flowers, and it is a few minutes away from Jeb's house. She memorized it before she left, and decided to show it to you once you were calm enough that you wouldn't dig up the grave to make sure she was dead. She really loves you like a son Iggy, but Pink did tell her to raise Hope."
Iggy looked like he might cry again. He has been crying since Max told us Pink was dead….Man that party was a stupid idea… At least Max doesn't know what happened between me and Jessica… It would break her heart, Why did I do that? I have KIDS, and I technically cheated…
I stopped thinking when I noticed Devil staring at me with his jaw open. Oh ****!
I thought when I realized he knew everything.
"Everyone, lets go. We don't have time to wait."
I said glancing at the blood smear and almost shivering. If they did that, then what other horrible things could they be doing?
(Author's note: Teehee, now for the part you have been waiting for…)
Fire POV
Owww!
'Night? Did you feel that?'
'Yeah, so stop summoning fire!
'Fine…'
'Night?'
'What is it NOW?'
'Can you hear anything from Mom?'
'No, she has just been softly crying since they told her daddy mated with another girl.'
'Oh, ok.'
'Fire, what did he mean when he said Mating?'
'I have no idea… But it must have been bad if Mom is crying.'
'Fire… Could you scream like you did in the School? Maybe they'd let us go.'
'No, already tried that. Our cage is sound proof so it just reflects.'
'Fire… I miss Storm… I said really mean things… If we die he might be mad at me..'
'Night, we won't die! We will be fine!'
She burst into tears.
'I don't wanna hear Rain scream for Gazzy again! And Nudge yelp because they zap her everytime she makes a sound! Don't you under stand?! I don't want to hear my family suffer of starvation and pain anymore! It's not fair! At least you get food, they bring you milk everyday, so you can take care of Hope! All we get is water out of a jar!'
'I can't drink the milk! They only bring enough for Hope! If I give her any less she will cry!'
We were all in a cage/ room. We couldn't use our powers or else we would be zapped by the metal bands on our necks. Our bands were somehow connected, so if I summoned fire all of us would get zapped, not just me. I glanced at everyone. We all looked half starved, not just Ember. Ember had been staring into space and not even flinching when she got zapped, whereas we would all shake and Mom, Nudge, and Rain would just cry harder, they have been either crying or pouting and staring off into space. Angel was constantly mumbling under her breath, and saying strange things. Dylan was constantly next to Mom, holding her. It made me very mad, I wanted to smack him, and say that my real dad was coming. But I had giant metal balls encircling my hands, and I would probably seriously injure his face, not that I didn't want to.
'Fire? Why is Dylan holding Mommy?'
'Because he wants to become her new boyfriend, and our new Dad.'
'Really? I like our old Daddy better. Dylan is too goody two shoes for me.'
'I know. I wish Storm was here… My soul seems to have an empty space. I wish we would have met the others at the house, but they weren't there. We only left for a day!'
Night started crying as soon as I mentioned Storm. Just then Hope woke up and started screaming and crying. They didn't put a collar on her, but she had a long chain attaching me to her ankle. I rocked Hope while Night cried into my shoulder. Hope fell asleep after about 10 minutes. Nudge tried to say something again, but we all got zapped, and I fell over, Hope was still asleep in my arms. I looked over and Night had passed out, the skin around her band black and dry. I felt the skin around my neck, it felt dry, but not burnt like Night's.
'Night?! Can you hear me?'
'…'
"Mom! Night is hurt or something!"
Dylan stood up and walked over but I growled at him and he backed away. Mom looked like she didn't even hear me. Angel was still muttering things and staring at the wall. Ember was staring at Night, but unfocussed. Nudge and Rain just cried even more.
Why won't anyone listen? Do they not care?
I glanced at Dylan, who was settling next to Mom, looking hurt.
I know what I can do!
I screamed. As loud as I could. My ears were ringing and my head hurt like crazy but I still screamed, getting louder and louder. Mom suddenly turned into an eraser and started running at me, scratching the air. I stopped screaming and everyone seemed to be back to reality.
"NIGHT IS HURT! YOU GUYS WERE JUST SITTING THERE STARING INTO SPACE AND CRYING WHILE I AM HERE, IN THE REAL WORLD TRYING TO SAVE MY SISTER! CAN YOU PLEASE WAKE UP ENOUGH TO HELP ME?"
I yelled at them, and they all looked at me, shocked, and then came back and helped me look at Night. Dylan tried to come near but I growled and glared at him again. He backed away. Mom glanced and saw what was happening. She started crying again, but kept working on Night. I realized that she was no longer an eraser. I looked down at Hope, but she was still sleeping peacefully.
How could she STILL be sleeping after me screaming AND yelling at everyone?
'F..I..F-fire?'
'Night! Are you ok? I got everyone to come back by screaming, but I don't know how long it will last!'
'Owww! My throat hurts!'
'It's okay, it's okay, calm down!'
'But it hurts!'
'Just don't touch your throat!'
Mom was pouring water over her black parts, and scraping then off with her nails, then tearing her shirt into shreds to make bandages to stop the blood. I could see tears leeking down Night's face.
Then I heard the door open and I growled, I turned into an eras and jumped on the person who came through that door reasing a hand with five claws I scratched the man's face and picked him up and threw him. I looked closer and saw that it was the man who had kidnapped us and put the locks on us. Then I looked down. The metal balls and the zappy bands were broken, and not on my hands.
I grinned, then I ran up to the man and threw him against another wall. He had passed out. I walked over and put a claw up to his neck and lifted him up, knowing that others would come soon to pick up this guy. I don't know what got into me, I just felt rage pulsing through me, and I couldn't control anything I did.
"Fire! What are you doing?! Put him down! Nobody deserves to die!" Mom yelled at me once she realized what I was doing. Just then another man burst through the door, I dropped the guy I had and and jumped toward him, snarling. That was when I couldn't control anything. I saw me arm going down and I saw the killing blow. The man sank to the floor, panting. Then he stopped breathing and a trickle of blood trickled out of his mouth.
No…. What have I done?
"FIRE!"
'Fire? What happened? Did you really kill that man?'
Mom was screaming from behind me… but I changed back to my normal self and cried. I covered my face with my hands. Then I heard an explosion from behind me and felt myself fly out of the door, and straight into a lady's arms. I felt the end of a gun press against my forehead but I couldn't do anything about it. I just gave in. I could still feel tears leeking out of my eyes. I wouldn't open them though. My forehead no longer had a gun pressed against it, I looked up. She was a pretty lady with orange hair, and looked about 22. She was running with me in her arms toward a car. When she got there she put me in the back and started the car, I felt a jolt and it took off. I looked out the window and saw Night crying to Dad and the rest of the flock and pointing desperately toward the car I was in.
'At least Dad can take care of Mom now…'
'FIRE! COME BACK!'
Storm screamed but it was getting fainter.
'Sorry..'
Was all I thought back.
"Who are you?"
I asked the lady in the front.
"Brigid Dwyer. Just call me Brigid."
"Ok… Does Mommy or Daddy know you?"
"Yeah… Your Dad and I were.. Business associates."
"Where am I going? Why are you taking me there?"
"You are going to stay with me for a few years, then I will let you go into the wild to survive on your own. A nice man named Dr. Chu wants to study you, and you can take his place at the top of a board of very powerful men, and rule the world someday."
"Okay. But where will the flock be?"
"I don't know."
I felt more tears dripping down my face. That's when I heard a crash and Brigid grab me. I shut my eyes tightly and heard Dad yell from behind me.
"Stop! That's my son! Brigid? Brigid?!"
"Daddy!"
I screamed, finally getting voice back, but I knew he wouldn't find us. Brigid had pressed a button on a tree and we were moving downwards on a platform. I watched all the light disappear.
'Fire? Where are you?'
'On a lowering platform. Take care of Night Storm…'
"No FIRE! DON'T GO!"
Night yelled out loud, I could hear her screaming from the surface.
'Bye…'
Okay, I have understood that there is a problem with FanFiction about chapter 9. Here is chapter 9 just in case you couldn't read it and are really confused….
Chapter 9
Max POV
I LOOK LIKE AN ERASER! How? Did I somehow transform? Is this normal? I had long fangs, and I looked like a she-wolf. I had a long bushy tail. What about my wings? I slowly extended them, only to find that they were twice as long! I ran back into the living room, my now big hunky clawed-feet were scraping the ground.
"Where's Jeb?"
"At the super market."
"Mom? Is that really you?"
Storm asked.
"Yes"
Fang POV
OH MY GOD! An eraser was choking Nudge and demanding the triplets be given to him. Suddenly an eraser with blond and purple hair, a purple dress on and make up killed the other eraser. Dylan and I both stood in front of the flock.
"What? Why are you guys all staring at me?"
"Maaaxxx, look in a mirror!" Nudge replied.
Max? How?
Just then I heard her scream. She ran back in.
"Where's Jeb?"
"At the supermarket."
"Mom? Is that really you?"
The triplets asked.
"Yes."
"Max! What the hell happened?" Jeb asked, just walking in.
"How did you know it was me?"
Max responded, crossing her arms and glaring.
My girlfriend can still give the death glare when she's an eraser! She is amazing.
"Well, I have never created an eraser with long purple and blond hair, and I have never seen any of my erasers wear a dress."
"Ok, now why am I an eraser?"
"A new power I'm guessing. Concentrate and think inov, and you will change back."
There was a flash and then the normal Max was back.
"Everyone! Try to do this as well, just to see who can do it and who can't."
"Mom? What does 'Concentrate' mean?"
"It means focus."
Just then all the kids turned into erasers, including Ember. My jaw dropped. I hadn't even tried yet.
Well, I might as well.
Inov.
Everyone gasped when they saw me.
"What?"
"Daddy! You look just like me!" Fire exclaimed.
"I do?!" I practically shouted, feeling my face.
I do, I look just like Fire. Exept for the fact that I have fire burning off of my head like a freaking candle! I looked at my hands. My fingers had little blue flames dancing off of them. Wow! I tested this. I created a fire ball and threw it from my hand to my hand.
I glanced at Max. She smiled at me. Max just SMILED at me. Now this I could get used to. I spread my wings. They were on fire too, funny it didn't hurt. Inov. I looked down, thank god I was me again!
"I bought you a house. It has security cameras, automatic lights, a pool and enough rooms for all of you too have 1. It will take about 2 hours to drive there from here. I also renewed your credit card." Jeb said breaking everyone's silence.
" So that basically means 30 minutes flying-time. Pack your stuff! We're going to the new house!"
Max called, and everyone scurried to their rooms. I walked up to her.
"You look beautiful."
I told her brushing a strand of purple hair that was covering her eyes.
"No, I look like one of the Sugar Girls."
"You are so stubborn."
"Again, I am not stubborn, I am right."
I leaned down and kissed her softly, then walked up to my room.
God, I am crazy about her.
Yes you are Fang. But you know what you have to do.
God, is this how Max feels?
Your task is simple. All you need to do is make her leave the triplets with Jeb so he can train them. How hard is that? She will do anything you tell her to.
Nope, and when she does rarely listen to me, she says 'No'.
Just do it. Ember is already trained. Just leave them to be trained for two months.
Fine.
Man I hate this. How does Max deal with it?
I had all my stuff in back pack. I checked my blog really quick. Nothing too bad. Then I walked down to the living room.
"Max?"
'Yeah?"
"I've been thinking. We should get Jeb to train the triplets for a few months."
Max groaned.
"Not you too! The Voice, Angel, Dylan, and Jeb himself have asked me repeatedly!"
"Max, it's the right thing to do. Besides, they're my kids too."
" Fine! Just fine!"
"Finally!"
Jeb said happily, I didn't even realize he was standing in the doorway.
I crossed my arms. I knew I was disappearing because I was getting that tingly feeling.
"Fang! Get your *** back here!"
I stayed still.
" We need to head over to the other house quickly, Then I will make an announcement." Jeb said.
"I will go and tell the triplets so that they know they will be staying with you." Max said walking into the triplets room.
Just then Pink walked in.
She has gained some weight! She looks like Max when Max was preg- oh-no. Is she? Could Iggy have? No! I am just overreacting.
45 MINUTES LATER
We were all at the new house. The pool had a 7 meter deep end and a baby pool, and a hot tub. Giant electric fences surrounded the house grounds, adding to the bullet proof door, shatter proof windows, and fire proof walls, ceilings, and floors. And if that wasn't safe enough, there were 25 square acres of rainforest surrounding the fences. The our backyard, actually, I should say our meadow had about 6 giant trees, and was covered in pretty white, purple, pink, and blue flowers. The fridge was full, and we had silver wear, pots, pans, cups, and napkins. Basically, we were fully loaded.
"Ok. Jeb, you wouldn't buy us a house like this without "Contitions". What are the conditions?"
Max asked immediately.
"Max, I could tell you that there weren't any conditions, but you wouldn't believe me. So the condition is: You all must go to school, the good thing about that is that there is a giant school close by, you would have to fly for about 15 minutes."
"Well I have a condition as well. If we have to go to school, we don't have to hide our wings. Or tails." Max argued, glancing at Pink when she said ' or tails' .
"Of course you don't have to hid your… additions."
We all gaped at him.
"Are you serious? We don't have to hide our tails or wings? Really?" Ash asked, his eyes widening.
"Nope. You can let it all out. But here is the other condition. You are all adopted brothers and sisters. So no lovey-dovey stuff at school. Ok, you start tomorrow, on Monday. You will be in various grades. Good news, there are no uniforms."
Nudge and Ash started jumping up and down. Iggy, Gazzy, Devil, Dylan, and Storm exchanged hi-fives. Pink, Angel, and Rain jumped up squealing. Max and I exchanged an amused glance.
"Bye mommy! Bye daddy!" Storm, Night and Fire called behind Jeb.
"Bye! Have fun!" I called after them.
