Sage's POV

What had I just said?

Too much, I believe, and now I would probably have to explain myself.

And that was something I was just not ready to do.

Iggy and I hovered in mid air, so he could wipe away a few of my tears.

"What ever it is, it can wait. I won't make you tell me if you don't want to. I'll leave you if you'd like…"

This is why Iggy reminded me of Caleb, in more than a brotherly way, because who kisses their brother like I kissed Iggy last night?

Hopefully no one.

Iggy cared and took my feelings into consideration.

That was something white coats were completely incapable of.

"Thanks Iggy," I muttered before following him down to where the rest of the flock was.

I'd probably never understand that even though Iggy was blind, he could find the flock and had a pretty good sense of direction in the air.

What I could understand is that he was someone I wanted to be with, and stay with forever.

I wanted Iggy, let alone needed him.

I believe that this is the time when a normal teenage girl would stop talking to the boy and start avoiding him.

Well me and everyone else in the flock were far from normal, here's an example: the wings.

Another example: Angel's mind reading powers. At this very moment she'd decided to invade my thoughts.

Told ya you and Iggy were a great couple. And don't worry, Max is okay with this. Just as long as you don't touch Fang…

Sometimes, mind reading and manipulating avian human hybrids were okay.

Iggy's POV

Turns out Sage didn't want to talk, just like I had expected.

But she did need moral support, which I was pretty good at giving.

I was there to wipe away her tears, let her know that somebody cared.

But probably more than a sisterly way, considering the dreams I'd had and the things we'd done.

I mean, its not like Gazzy and Angel start making out.

At least, I would hope not.

I dried away her tears a few more times before we headed back down to where the flock was.

"I think we're going to be there in a bout three hours if we don't stop!" Max sounded joyous.

"Um, where exactly are we going Max?"

"Remember when not so long ago we had to rescue Angel? Well on our way there I saw a girl in trouble. I helped her, but one of the guys shot my wing. The girl I helped was named Ella. Her mother is Dr. Martinez. Dr. Martinez fixed my wing for me. We're going to go back to her. One because I miss her, and two because Dr. Martinez knows about us and wants us to stay with her. It's safe there guys."

Everyone was silent except for Nudge.

"Yay! We finally have a home! We can stay in one place for ever!"

"Nudge, I didn't say it was permanent. Although I have all intentions to make it that way. If we're not attacked after six months, we'll be safe."

"And you know this how?" it was Fang speaking now.

"Its, uh, my voice. The one that's you know…in my head," she answered.

"Ok Max" he said trustingly.

I really hoped Sage wasn't disturbed by any of this.

"She's got a voice in her head? Way cool!" I heard Sage whisper in my ear.

Obviously not disturbed, more fascinated.

We flew for about another hour before Max told us we were about to land.

"Iggy, head down at a forty-five degree angle, okay?"

"Got it"

I followed the sound of everybody's wings as we went down.
