"Peek-a-boo!" Gaz shouted making Alice laugh.
She was sitting on his lap as he played with her. He covered up his face with his wings and raised them uncovering his face and making her laugh again.
Alice had woken up earlier then usually and Gaz was awake too so entertaining her fell on his shoulders. He quickly found that he liked playing with her, feeling like a big brother.
"Well look at you acting like big brother" Max said leaping down from the tree.
She walked over and sat down next to them. Alice stumbled forward crawling to Max. She may have only been three month months old but she looked like she was one year. She seemed to grow faster than a normal baby.
Max lifted Alice up tossing her slightly. She laughed again stretching her wings. They already twice the size of her and still growing. She still couldn't fly but she could hover an inch off the ground.
By now everyone else was starting to stir. Nudge woke up first feelin the empty space beside her before sighing. She missed the familiar feeling of Iggy beside her.
Jess and Seth were the next to awaken. Seth took his arm from around her smiling. Jess smiled back getting to her feet and stretching. Ghost and Shadow were missing from the spot they went to sleep at. Angel and Wolf woke up around the same time.
Wolf's eyes blinked open then blinked again realizing that he was sleeping not a foot apart from Angel. He jumped to his feet extremely red. Angel sat up quickly as red as he was.
"I'm sorry about that!" he shouted.
"No no! I'm sorry!" Angel exclaimed
Ghost chose this moment to appear beside Wolf and nudged him in the ribs.
"Wolf you dog you!" she exclaimed teasingly. Wolf turned his gaze on her glaring daggers. Shadow chuckled under the shade of a tree. Ghost jumped back away from Wolf's reach not even trying to contain her laughter like the others.
Wolf seethed quietly trying to control his temper. When he got it under control he extended his hand to Angel. She took it as he pulled her up.
"Sorry about that" he said again. She smiled at him and he turned red again for a different reason.
"It's nothing" she said sweetly. Suddenly she frowned. "Don't be too made at Ghost"
Wolf blinked in surprise then shook his head. "Don't worry this is normal for us" he said gesturing from himself to Ghost. "We're like siblings most of the time"
Angel nodded and they all sat down around the fire they had made. Everyone was eating the breakfast that was smoking over the fire.
Seth grabbed one of the sticks and bit of a chunk of the smoking bologna.
"So what's our plan for finding Fang and Ig?" he asked pondering the thought.
"I was thinking we could split up into two groups and take different pieces of the forest" Max said chewing a granola bar.
"That sounds good" Ghost said. She bit into a strip of bacon and chewed thoughtfully. "Maybe Angel and Seth should be in different groups since they both can read minds."
"Alright. Who's in each group and where do we go?" Jess asked. Before either of them could talk Alice walked forward her blonde black hair framing her head. She reached up to Max who picked her up and walked into the forest to feed her. Seth was thoughtful for a moment then nodded,
"Okay me and Max will lead the groups" Seth said talking for them both. "Max said her group would go North-east and my group would go South-west. That leaves the question of who goes with who's group?" Seth asked.
"I'm with you Seth." Jess said smiling "You know that"
"I'm going with Max" Nudge said.
"Me too" Gaz said nodding.
"I'd like to go with Max as well." Shadow said.
"In that case I'll go with Seth" Ghost said. Seth nodded counting up everyone.
"Shouldn't someone stay behind with Alice?" Nudge wondered out loud.
"She's going with Max's group" Seth replied after a second of thought.
"I'll go with Seth" Wolf and Angel said together then blushed.
Wolf's ears perked up and he got down morphed into his Wolf form and glared at Ghost.
"What?" she asked innocently. Wolf growled at her and Angel placed a hand on his shoulder.
"He says don't say anything" she translated for her. Ghost pouted shaking her head.
"I would never" she said faking a shocked expression. Wolf just growled again. Ghost held up her hands a resigned look on her face.
"Fine, fine" she said.
Max and Alice joined them a minute later. They all divided up into their groups and set out.
Alright Fang, Iggy we're coming for you
*****
Fang had calmed down a lot since he found out about the eraser attack. He and Iggy were still looking but they actually had a plan.
"Man I wish Angel or Seth were with us" Iggy muttered. Fang ignored him. Truth be told he felt the same way but didn't feel like asking for what he didn't have.
He kicked through another bush and looked around. His eyes widen at what he saw. They were both looking at the campsite Max and the flock just abandoned. Fang walked forward Iggy following.
"Where do you think they went?" Fang asked allowed.
"Not sure" Iggy said. He kneeled down feeling the ground. He followed the trail then got up. He jumped back as a clawed hand shot out from the trees. Iggy and fang stood back to back as Ari and his team of eight erasers surrounded them.
"Ari!" Fang barked out. Ari laughed at his expression then snapped his fingers.
"You and your group of mutant rejects are going to come back to the school" Ari said grinning wolfishly.
"Don't underestimate the flock" Fang said through gritted teeth.
Three erasers already morphed escaped the formation and attacked. Fang jumped over one pushing his head to the ground. From there he spun on his hand and kicked the other in the head. Iggy had jumped over his clapping his hands over it's ears. It howled once before crumpling.
"Who's next?" Fang said with a savage grin. He clenched and unclenched his hands repeatedly. Ari shifted stepping back and pulling out a walkie.
"Alpha Team. Beta Team" Ari said into it. "Take em down"
"Understood" came the responses. Ari grinned rotating a gear on it turning up the volume. The sounds of fighting soon filled the clearing and Fang watched getting madder and scared for the lives of the flock.
"Hey this thing work?" Seth's voice said through the walkie. "Hey Ari! Your eraser boys are down!"
"Sounds like the flock isn't as weak as you thought" Fang said grinning.
"Hey Fang, Ig!" Seth's voice said. "Up and away in three!.."
Seth and Iggy nodded stretching their wings.
"Two!.."
They crouched down. Ari crushed the walkie and ran at them along with the other erasers.
"Fly!!!" Seth's voice could be heard clearly across the whole forest this time. Fang and Iggy jumped into the air holding their arms over their faces to block the branches. They burst through the trees and looked around. Max's group broke through at the same time followed by Seth and Jess.
Fang flew straight towards Max and hugged her tightly. Max gasped then hugged him back.
"I missed you" Fang said quietly.
"I missed you too" Max said.
Fang felt a tugging at his shirt and he looked down to see Alice floating softly reaching up with both arms. Fang's eyes widened as he picked her up. He hugged her softly and she hugged him back.
Max smiled then cocked her head to the side. She nodded in agreement.
"Hey guys" Max called. Everyone stopped their reunion and looked up. "We can't stay here so we gotta go"
"Where to?" Fang asked. The rest of the flock looked at her expectantly. She flashed them a smile.
"To my Mom's house" she said taking off. The rest of the flock followed after her.
