Max

Fang sat on top of my bed and sat next to him, sinking into the plush materials of my comforting bed. I grabbed a fuzzy blanket and wrapped it around my shoulders.

"So are you going to just leaving me hanging here?" Fang pondered. "Or are you going to tell me your oh so genius plan?"

I smiled out of spite. "I could, but I'm not sure if I want to…"

Fang groaned and I laughed.

"I'm just kidding Fang, gosh. So we leave midday on Sunday and-"

"Sunday?!" Fang interrupted. "That's in a couple of days! Max, we don't have a lot of time to lose!"

I held my hand up in the universal stop sign. "I know it seems like a long time but I can't just drop my life at this moment! I have a track meet on Saturday and I've looked forward to competing in it for months now. And I need to say goodbye to my friends and stuff."

"But Max, are you sure you need to do that? It takes out a couple of days out of our journey."

"Trust me Fang, I know what I'm doing. You said it yourself." I paused for dramatic effect. "Okay, so we'll leave on Sunday after we're all packed up. The most logical person to get next is Iggy. We need him the most right now and Colorado is a familiar place to us. Also, if both of us have remembered, Iggy is the person I would expect to remember next."

"How are we going to get to Colorado?" Fang questioned.

"I'll pick pocket some money from my 'mom'," I chuckled. "She probably won't even notice it's gone."

"But she'll notice you're gone," said Fang.

"And your 'parents' have obviously noticed you ran away. Which means they reported it to Itex. They're probably anticipating our moves at every moment. I bet they knew you would come to me first."

Fang nodded. "That just means we'll have to be on high alert on all times. Trust no one."

I agreed with his statement. "Do you think it's too obvious for us to get Iggy first?"

Fang replied, "It's as obvious as going to get Nudge first, or Angel, or Gazzy. They're planning out every plan that we might do first."

I threw my arms around his broad upper body and sighed. "I don't know what I do without you, Fang."

A deep chuckle vibrated through his chest and he kissed the top of my head.

"Good thing I'm here now, ain't it?" he joked.

"You have no idea," I whispered to myself.

I pushed myself away from it, leaning against the soft pillows.

"It's decided. We'll get Iggy first," I began, "and we'll help him remember. Then, we'll work our way across the country to collect the rest of the Flock so we can take down Itex once and for all!"

"The problem is we can't take down Itex without our greatest asset; our wings. Do you have a plan to get them back?"

I replied with a mere no and he slumped against the bed frame, lost in his own thought.

The sad thing was I had lied. Little did he know I had a plan up my sleeve. A plan that was incredibly risky and dangerous. One that involves me doing something for the sake of the Flock.

But Fang didn't need to know that.

For now.

Okay don't hate me for that incredibly short chapter. I was going to finish up part 1 of this story in this chapter but decided I should drag it out a little longer. Don't worry, chapter 20 should be good!
