Thanks again for all of the reviews. I'm still not sure how many chapters I'm going to have in this story but it all depends on your reviews because that tells me how much you want me to continue this story. Here is the 72nd chapter. ENJOY!!!
Chapter 72 Ari Has a Power?
Max's POV
His fighting stance was a little off when he threw his fists up in front of him. The weight of his eraser wings were throwing him off. One of his wings was greater in length then the other.
I swung my fists up in front of my face and got into a much steadier fighting stance.
His paw like fist came in contact with my cheek and there was the faint taste of blood in my mouth. I spit and let the blood fall slowly to the ground. I wiped my fist across my mouth and a streak of blood was left across my hand.
Ari's smirk grew back on his face and he pulled his hand back, getting ready for another killer punch to my head. This time I was ready for the fist. My fist came in immediate contact with his and a crack sounded for miles through the top of the trees.
We both shook our fists in unison at the pain that was surging through our hands after the punch.
A bruise started to slowly appear across the top of my hand. That's definitely going to hurt tomorrow, I thought to myself.
Blood was dripping from Ari's hand and his fingers were bent in a weird shape. I smiled at my triumph.
"You are going to pay for that," Ari growled at me through clenched teeth.
He shook his hand out, so he could get the feeling back into his hand. I took this opportunity to send a round house kick right to the side of his head.
His wings stopped flapping and he fell 300 feet, almost hitting the ground below. "You bitch," he screeched at me with his bad hand covering his now bloody ear.
Ari swept up to me so fast, it seemed like he had my flying speed. "That wasn't a good idea." He snarled and showed his fang like teeth. His jaw spread out wide and he bit down on my arm.
The pain surged through my arm and I bit down hard on my lip to resist from screaming out in pain. Blood started to trickle into my mouth and I realized that my teeth had cut my lip badly.
I closed my eyes and tried to relax and numb all the pain in my body. A foot made contact with my knee and almost broke my knee cap right in half. My hands immediately swarmed around my knee, which made it hurt even more.
My eyes opened slowly and Ari's smirk was back on his face. His face started to get farther and farther away from me. The wind was whipping past my face and my dirty blond hair was hitting me right in the face. Some even got in my mouth so the tips of my hair were covered in my blood and drying almost immediately.
The ground was coming up fast underneath me. I whipped my wings out and the strength of the wind almost pulled my wings right out of my socket.
I barely got my wings flapping before I hit the ground. The pain in my wings was worse then the rest of the cuts that Ari gave to me. My wings started to give out on my. Thump, I hit the ground hard. My ankle twisted to the side.
Bam, Ari landed right in front of me with a loud thump. "Had enough yet?" Right behind Ari's head there were five black dots growing in the distance. No, I'm not blacking out again. A closer look at them and the Flock, led by Fang, was coming to help.
Ari spun on his feet to see where was gaze was. His mouth dropped. "Wh…wha…huh?" He was in such a state of shock that no words could form in his mouth.
Fang's foot came in contact with Ari's jaw and a loud crack banged against my ear drums. Ari fell to the ground and his breathing started to slow down to a complete stop.
A drop of water hit the ground right under me and I realized that tears were falling down my face. I crouched down and covered my face; I didn't want the Flock to see me be so weak. They don't expect me to cry. Two warm arms wrapped around me.
"It's okay Max, we are here for you," Fang's warm breath felt nice against my skin and chills sent through my spine.
"Max," Angel and Nudge called me in unison, with a ton of concern in just that one word.
I wiped the tears from my eyes and looked up from where my head was.
Their heads sagged and their eyes showed their concern for me.
"I'm fine, just a little bruised up but that's my life," I formed a smile on my face to let them know that I was really fine. Smiles tugged at the corner of their mouths but they didn't completely believe it, but why would they? I'm not the best actress.
"What happened here?" Gazzy asked. He broke the silence that had surrounded us.
I replayed the whole story for them. They never interrupted me once.
"Where is he?" Iggy stood up from where he was sitting patiently on the ground. Gazzy stood up with him and took Iggy's hand to guide him over to Ari.
Iggy bent down on the ground right beside Ari. His fingers snaked down his body until he found his wrist. Two of his fingers rested there, checking to make sure he had no pulse.
"Uh…guys…" Iggy didn't get to finish his sentence because Ari punched Iggy right in the nose.
"Did you really think I was dead?" He asked and his laughter sounded throughout the forest.
Fang sprinted up to him and was about to punch him in the face, when…
Whoosh, a wind spiraled past us and Fang disappeared from where he was running.
"Oops, I guess your little bastard of a boyfriend ditched you guys." Ari's voice rang through my head.
"SHIT," Fang's voice sounded and I turned around to see him flat up against a tree.
How did he get over there? I thought to myself. Can he teleport but why would he crash into a tree then?
"Are you okay Fang?" Angel zipped over to make sure he was all right. I would have gone but Ari was standing right in front of me.
"What the HELL did you do to him?" I screeched.
A smile played across his lips. "How do you think you got here?" He asked and laughed when I had to think over it.
I felt my eyes widen as realization hit me like a ball hitting me straight on in the head. "You…you…no." I couldn't even form a complete sentence.
His smile stretched out even wider at my loss of words.
"Aww, is Maxie scared?" His laugh banged against my ear drums.
No one calls me Maxie and gets away with it. My face turned from shock to anger.
Ari started to back up away from me and backed up right into Iggy.
"Get out of the way," Iggy shoved Ari away and shoved something into in one motion that left Ari staring blankly at Iggy.
"What the…" Ari didn't get to finish his sentence because the bomb that Iggy shoved into his hands exploded.
Pieces of Ari's clothes floated down gently to the ground. Fang slapped a hand over Angel's eyes, Iggy slapped his hand over Gazzy's eyes and I slapped my hand over Nudge's eyes. They may have seen a lot since they were born but I'd rather them not see pieces of Ari floating to the ground.
WOW!! Fang mouthed to me.
I know, I mouthed back to him.
All around us were scattered pieces of his clothes, but hopefully it was finally the end of him. Too bad I couldn't have figured out why he wanted to see me again, well probably because he wanted to destroy me.
"Wow, I can't believe how many pieces are scattered around. He is almost everywhere." Nudge shouted after I took my hand off of her eyes. "Hey Max, can we go get something to eat because I'm really hungry. Oh and can we get some new clothes because this outfit is ruined and we haven't gone shopping in a long time." She said that all in one breath.
"No shopping but we can go eat."
"YAY," everyone, but Fang, shouted at the same time.
"We have some scheming to do when we get home," evil grins spread across all of their faces. It was really creepy.
I know this chapter isn't even close to as long as the last chapter but hopefully you guys still liked it. I've been getting ahead in writing chapters so I can actually post sooner. Thanks for the reviews. Hope you guys liked this chapter.
