Here is the next chapter. Enjoy:D
Max was the first to make it to the cliff where we saw a black Humvee, I could see in Max's eye that she thought Angel was in that car. "Let's get her!" Max cried. Then she backed up about ten feet and we all ran out of her path. She was the first up and flying, then Nudge, Iggy, the Gasman, and finally me. I wasn't going to lose any more of my family.
When we were flying I caught sight of a tree with a dead branch that I could easily grab, so I grabbed it. Then I dropped it on the cars windshield. The vehicle swerved and right when I was feeling a bit of smug satisfaction a gun barrel popped out and the trees were filled with bullets. I smashed the windshield again while Max went back to the tree line. This time when the bullets came, they were a little more accurate and I actually had to dodge.
Max screamed, "Angel! We're here! We're coming for you!" I don't know what good that did. They probably knocked her out so she wouldn't struggle. But now was no time to argue with Max, I would have plenty of time for that later.
While I looked ahead I noticed a clearing with a helicopter in it. Chances are they're taking Angel there. "Up ahead!" I yelled to Max. Max looked at me and I passed a silent communication with the leader. A small nod. That was where we were going to ambush them.
The Humvee stopped suddenly, swerving in the mud. I lowered myself a little so I could easily attack the first Eraser who came out of the car. Then it happened. After, I would have told you I saw the glint of a knife, but right then, right there, the only thing I could think of was Angel. So I attacked the Eraser, but before I could cause any real damage I jumped back (if you can while flying) with a yelp. You would too if you were stabbed in the arm with a knife!
After my lame attempt to get Angel the second Eraser came out of the car, threw something in the direction of Iggy and Nudge and there was a small (one of the smaller one's I've seen) explosion. I'm not proud to say this by now all I could do was watch, I think I was frozen with... not fear, but something else. Something I can't explain.
Another Eraser came and went, carrying something. Max flew forward and grabbed onto the landing ski. While the chopper started to leave Max still hung on, the Eraser I saw carrying something was talking to her, the same Eraser who stepped on her head!
I got up now and watched as Max hung on with sheer desperation when the Eraser aimed a gun at Max. Then I found myself frozen again, only able to watch. The word I was looking for came to me now, helpless.
Finally Max let go and came back down to Earth. Helpless. Once I knew the word it replayed in my head over and over and over. I promised myself long ago I would never be helpless again, then just like that... I let myself fail all because one little emotion.
We all watched painfully as the helicopter flew off into the distance, gone with it Angel. Helpless.
