Chapter 8- Warm Feelings and Bitches Yapping
Fang's POV
So basically Jeb wants me and Max to sleep together? And for the people who are going 'Eww… what the hell is his problem…', then think about this. How did you get made? EXACTLY. But other than that, the whole idea grossed me out a little. Okay, ALOT.
"I didn't want to bring this upon you both. Believe me, I'm just the messenger for the whole thing." Jeb rambled on.
Oh, just shut up already.
"The messenger? That's what you think? Jeb, you've just been trying to play along with Itex's games until you get your little daughter back. You've got to be kidding me with all of this. Well, FYI Jeb, you never had a daughter and you never will!"
Wow. Max had never vented her feelings for him like that. Oh no, please don't tell me she's going to cry.
Great, just what I need. Sprinkling her eyes, Max was now trying to hold back her tears. I knew she didn't want to cry at all- especially in front of her dad- well Jeb and me.
Through her tears she looked at Jeb with fear, but hurt in her eyes. "Get out."
Wow, she didn't beat around the bush.
"Remember Maximum, think about the experiment. All you have to do is reproduce with-"
"She said get out, which probably means stay the hell away from her!" Wait, did I say that out loud? Whoops.
Anyway, it worked. We both watched Jeb pace to the door and soon Max and me were alone again.
"Umm… thanks." Still crying, Max managed to hold a weak smile across her face.
"Don't mention it." I replied back.
Then something awesome happened.
Her arms were now around mine, clutching herself to my body. She held me close as she wept into my shirt, letting the tears flow. But I reckon they were happy tears.
Her brown eyes connected with mine as I watched her watch me.
Her face came up towards my ear as she whispered "Just hold me Fang."
This sent shivers down my spine as the space in between our lips intruded one another's.
Angel POV
We flew down to the porch of Dr. Martinez's house and had a bumpy landing from us playing Fly Tag.
But boy was Ella happy to see us.
She shrieked a little and ran towards Nudge, Gazzy and I. This forced me to be as polite as Max would always say, in case Ella went a bit crazy.
I guess this was one of those times.
Ella all squeezed us with a hug for a minute and then started to pat Total.
"Excuse me, I'd prefer not to be treated like a bitch, thankyou very much."
Her eyes widened and Total's witty remark. Oh great I forgot. He can talk.
I giggled a little. That's what Ella was thinking.
All our attention turned to Ella and Iggy now who were both awkwardly standing there in silence.
"Well, go on you rude person. Say hello!" Nudge went and nudged (no pun intended) Iggy towards Ella as she started to speak.
"Hi Iggy." She smiled sweetly.
"Hey." He barely spoke clearly. Aww- he was blushing. Does this mean-
"So where's Max? Oh, and Fang to I guess." Her voice interrupted thoughts. Funny how I can read people's minds but I can't seem to think at all in mine.
"Uh actually, we were hope you'd know." I said, shrugging my shoulders.
Ella cocked her head to the side and was about to answer, when a tall figure came out of the screen door.
"Ella Paige Martinez, where the heck-" Dr. Martinez was cut off by all of us staring at her with big smiles on our faces.
"Oh… Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, Angel; what are you doing here?"
Total sighed stiffly, as his presence was once again being ignored.
Ella just stood there, arms by her side not saying a word.
"Uh actually, we were hope you'd know." Gazzy repeated what I had said.
"Woah!" Nudge suddenly exclaimed. "Déjà vu! Don't you think it's weird when that happens? I mean, I like don't really believe in those kind of things-"
"Oh, shut up!" Total cut her off.
Ella laughed a little and that made Iggy smile.
Iggy's POV
She was just perfect. Her hair, her smile, her eyes. Everything. If the rest of them found out about this, they would never let me live this down. But it isn't my fault I like her…
Gazzy began to speak again, interrupting my thoughts. "We, uh, can't find Max and Fang." His eyes darted to the ground. "We think that they're at Itex, but we don't know what for."
I thought it was my time to speak. After all I am first in charge! After Max and Fang of course.
"We were hoping that you'd know where they were but obviously…"
"You don't." Nudge finished my sentence for me. Although that wasn't what I was going to say.
I looked down at her with annoyance (AN: Is that a word…?) and knew she was smiling her biggest smile.
"I want to come to Itex and help you!" Ella said abruptly.
All of our eyes widened at this remark. Even Total perked his ears up in surprise.
Dr. Martinez walked to Ella, with a stern look on her face. Looks like she was going to have to do some begging if she wants to come with us mutants.
"El, you aren't going to go God-knows-where where you could be seriously hurt. This is a job for-"
"But she's my sister! And the Flock will protect me." Ella was trying to fight back.
"Uh, I suppose. But how will you get there without wings?"
Just like that, I had a perfect solution. "I can carry her!" Hm, it sounded much better in my mind.
Total and Nudge smirked at one another and were about to burst out laughing, when I shot a glance at them. Don't ask me how I knew where they were standing, I just did.
Ella blushed a little as she peeped, "See? They have it all figured out."
Dr. Martinez buried her face in her palms. "Well, if it means that much to you…"
Knowing what her mum would say, Ella leapt onto her to give her a hug.
"Ooh, thankyou mum! I'll promise I'll be good. And I'll even do chores for you when I come home."
"If I live that long." Dr. Martinez said jokingly.
Ella, pulled back from her mum and turned to us. "Can we go now? I'd actually like to see my sister's face before her death!"
I bit my bottom lip as the kid's faces fell.
"Oh, I-I would never think, gosh- I-I'm…"
I put my hand gently on her shoulder. "It's ok Ella."
The kid's faces seemed to beam after I had touched Ella. I mentally rolled my eyes.
"Well… are you going or not?" Oh. I forgot Dr. Martinez was here. I felt my cheeks turn a light shade of red.
"Okay guys, U & A!" One by one, everyone spread out their wings, including Angel, who clutched Total to her body.
"Hey, what does U & A mea- ahh!" I cut off Ella, as I scooped her off the ground and into my arms. Holding her tight I had a chance to look into her soft blue eyes.
As she turned to meet my face, Ella caught me watching her, but she continued to do the same thing as me.
Our moment was shortened by none other than Gazzy giving a warning cough.
"Umm… Up and Away." There, I had answered her question. Happy now Gazzy?
As we lifted up into the air, further away from the house, the more our speed increase.
Ella surprisingly was really light to carry- thank God. I smiled as she darted her head everywhere at everything because I guess she didn't want to miss a sight her eyes met with.
She had good intentions. We all know it's a blast flying. Especially if it's not a rush.
Oh, right. We are in a rush.
"C'mon guys let's pick up speed." I suggested.
All of us with the wind in our hair, started to begin flying with a speed of- uh... I dunno, a fast speed.
Man, flying this fast feels awesome. Max and Fang should disappear more often.
Angel, of course invading my thoughts, looked over at me with a shocked expression.
"I'm kidding Angel." I explained to her as her face turned into a smile again.
"Oh." She simply stated.
"Hey Ig!" Nudge called out to me.
My head turned to her direction as we were wizzing past trees. "Yeah?"
"Look down, it's so cute! Ella's asleep in your arms."
Gazzy and Total snickered whilst Nudge and Angel both made 'aww' noises.
Surely enough, Ella was curled up in a ball, as her chest coincided with the way she breathed.
My smile that I was holding, turned into concern. She was starting to sweat a little, and her body heat was very, well, warm.
Ella didn't look peaceful. She had her eyes clenched shut and her head shaking from time to time.
With my hand, I gently put it to her heart and felt her heartbeat. It was the same as ours. And that wasn't good.
Something was wrong. We needed to land.
"Guys, something's wrong with Ella. Follow my lead and decrease speed."
Nudge, Angel and Gazzy all nodded as I began to descended to the ground.
Sorry guys. We're going to be a bit late for our appointment to save you from Itex- wherever that is.
Angel, reading my thoughts once again, looked up at me with worry in her eyes.
You never knew to calm people down like you used to.
