Chapter 2
Fang POV
Just as the helicopter stopped climbing in altitude. Iggy quickly resumed picking the heavy duty lock that was closing them us all in. While he was doing that, Fang watched what was happening.
Fang's rapter vision showed Max dangling from the door, with Omega clinging on to her foot. Get your filthy hand off her, Fang thought, which mad him even madder.
Suddenly a quiet, but terrifying scream ripped through the air and pierced all of their eardrums. Fang flinched and looked where the scream had come from. He glanced up and found that Max was the one who was screaming.
"MAX" bellowed Nudge.
"MAX" cried Angel.
Gazzy just burst into tears and fell on the ground shaking ecstatically. Then Fang's stomach did a jump when he realized that she was falling. Still screaming, but falling. She can't fly, he thought. That was when Iggy picked the lock. Quite a record Fang added to himself.
Once the lock fell with a hollow clunk, Fang jumped through the door and streaked through the air. He streaked as fast as he could toward Max. I wondered what had Omega done to her that made her scream.
I will kill him Fang thought blearily. Max has enough pain to deal with.
When I reached Max she wasn't moving. Wasn't breathing...?
Fang landed with Max in his arms.
Fang had never cried in front of the flock and he wasn't going to start now.
"We have to get her some help," Fang said very quietly.
"Is she dead?" Nudge didn't look at Fang. She just stared in horror at Max. The flock had caught up to Fang. Everyone looked tired and hungry.
Iggy reached down and grabed her wrist and felt for a pulse.
"No," replied Iggy. "Just blacked out. How do we get her help?" He gestured toward Fang. Fang scooped Max in his arms and replied shortly.
"We need to get her to a hospital."
