Chapter 2
Fang POV
My head hurt like f*** when I woke up, the last thing I remembered was Erasers flying at me in all directions and not having the strength to fight them off. Now all I can see is sky, sand and sea. As I tried to heave myself up and work out where I was, I realised this wasn't actually a possibility as I was being held securely to the sand by ropes of some kind. I had no idea what was holding them to the sand but no matter how hard I struggled, I couldn't get free. It was only then when I realised that the sea was already halfway up my legs and coming in fast.
FLASHBACK
I was just coming down to breakfast at Max's mum –Dr Martinez's house, which was where we were staying at the moment and I came across Jeb on the stairs. He was staying here as well and much as Max trusted him with her life right now - seeing as he was her Dad and all, she thought she would give him a chance – but I had real trouble trusting him at all. He had a look in his eye, which suggested he was up to something, and said to me, "morning Fang, busy day ahead of you?" in a too-friendly tone.
I glared at him and continued down to breakfast, if he thought I was telling him anything, anything at all, he had another thing coming.
In the kitchen, Iggy was cooking away and the rest of the flock had already tucked in to our ENORMOUS breakfast – did I mention that we had larger than normal appetites on account of the energy flying took up – and I smiled, sitting next to Max and grabbing a piece of toast, a pile of eggs, several rashers of bacon, waffles, pancakes and some pop tarts, to start with at least.
After breakfast, we all headed out into the garden with our new sports gear on, Jeb knew a really secluded spot out of town where we could play a game of baseball, and Max really wanted to go and try it out in the air. As she had put it, "We've never tried playing sports when we're flying before!" And so that was that, I couldn't resist her pleading eyes, but I was weary of Jeb the whole way there.
For a while it was fun, I started to get really into it after a while, forgetting about Jeb and my mis-trust of him. But I had evidently let my guard down for far too long. Angel heard it first; a kind of loud humming getting closer and closer, and conveniently Jeb had wandered off for a walk by this stage. Then we saw them, Erasers and Flyboys approaching from all directions, more than we've ever seen before and we were in no way prepared to fight them off. The fight this time was short, The Flyboys had rounded up most of the flock before I lost consciousness to a hit round the head.
My head hurt more at the memory of it, why hadn't Max just listened to me, for once! I should have tried harder to convince her that Jeb was up to no good. But the time for worrying about that had come and gone I now had above-waist-high water to worry about, as I struggled with all my strength to battle the ropes…
A/N: Once again, thanks for the reviews guys, I know you probably want to know the next section of the story but its coming really soon ok? However it will always come faster with more reviews, they make me happy so press the green button.
