Max POV
We ordered pizza and ate it while laughing. We tried to have a good time even though Fang wasn't there. Today was what we called flock night. It was when we played games and fun stuff like that. If we were on the run we went out flying at night. I kept a smile o my face but my whole world was burning up.
" Max. Its your turn," Angel told me. I rolled. " How come you always get the sixes," The Gasman complained.
" Because I'm awesome," I giggled. I was ready to hear Fang's lighthearted chuckle in my ear and see him roll his eyes. I even looked up to watch him do it. Idiot, I thought. Fang isn't here. Your thinking about Fang again aren't you Max, Angel asked me with her mind. Yes, I admitted. Angel sighed. Go to bed Max. You look really tiered. Okay boss. Angel giggled.
" Okay guys I'm gonna hit the hay," I said stretching. "Night max," Iggy said. " Hey is Gazz cheating again."
" Dang Ig. How do you know," Gazz growled. I hugged him. " Play fair." I fell asleep to the sound them laughing. Nudge, The Gasman and Angel thought that Fang was going to bounce back but hey he's not twelve, nine or eight now is he.
Fang continued to improve but still wouldn't wake up. He was like in a self-induced coma. The doctors found absolutely no reason why this had happened. Iggy came into my room one night. "Max," he said.
I sat up," What." "I was thinking," he sat on the edge of my bed. "Continue."
"Maybe the school in some how controlling the fact that Fang won't wake up," Iggy said in a rush. "Huh." Nudge had slipped in behind him.
"Actually Max, Iggy and I were thinking, they've done it before," Nudge sat practically on Iggy's lap. Iggy nodded. "Angel's heard whitecoats thinking about." Come to think of it this made sense. "So what are we supposed to do?" I asked.
"Well we could go there reverse it somehow and then destroy al the controlling devices," Iggy looked up at me. Or at least at my forehead. But hey he's blind. "So your saying we should break into the place that still gives us nightmares, find a specific room in the hundreds of rooms and then bomb the whole place," I stared at Iggy and Nudge. "What about the other experiments?"
"Um we could just let them out," Iggy said. I snorted, "Ya okay and how would we accomplish that?" I asked. "We're still working on it," Nudge looked at Iggy. "Yep," he nodded. "Still working on it." I forced a smile and they left my room. I sat there, thinking. The School, always The School. How could they. This was Fang, one of the most successful experiments ever. This wasn't just Fang. This was My Fang. No one screws around with My Fang and gets away with it. I scribbled a hasty note to the flock; grabbed four of the bombs I gad confiscated from Iggy and hit the air. My wings beat for a purpose, Fang would wake up, if he didn't I would bomb the school anyway.
Maximum. I really wouldn't do this, the voice said. Screw you voice, I thought. I bet you knew about this. No Max, the voice didn't know. But I did know. Jeb.
Yes Maximum. And if you don't turn around right now The School with kill Fang. Two doctors at the hospital work for us. Why don't I believe you. That's it Maximum. You have just passed a test. Oh goody. Do I get a reward. Yes Max you do. I have made sure that the wing that controls Fang and the flock's body's is empty. Ya right Jeb. And guess what, I look like Megan Fox. I am not joking Max. As your father, as someone who cares about you I am telling you. Go save your Fang. The voice was quiet for ten minutes. I thought of what to say.
Jeb? Yes Max. Thank You. Your Welcome Maximum.
I closed my eyes. Envisioning Fang's face. He was my soul mate. He was part of me. He would go to the ends of the earth to save me and now I was heading right to Hell for him.
