Chapter

I looked over Leaf, Nattella, and Lily. They seemed to be holding out, but I knew we'd have to stop soon.

I felt Iggy glide up along me, until now he'd been flying behind me.

He didn't say anything, "Don't mess with my emotions" I said and he sighed. I flew up ahead and he followed

I understand why he left" I said softly, "Doesn't mean I still don't hurt.

This is how its meant to be Max the voice said, He had to leave, to bring together the experiments that will lead five flocks to save the world.

Shut It! I screamed in my head

"We'll stop at the town just ahead" I said after a few minutes, "Get stuff, perhaps crash in a hotel"

I saw Lily start to sign out the corner of my eye, Lead said, "Lily wants to know what stuff you mean"

"well clothes, food, packs and such" I said, "The bare essentails"

"but we don't have any money" Nattela said

"I do" I said

We landed. I walked into a shop "kids, you can come with me, they're going food shopping"

Without another word, I grabbed Natella and Lily by the hands and to the clothes. Leaf trailing behind.

Fang sighed, leading the way to a food store. Iggy was silent, grabbing a trolley as he walked by it. He just knew it was there.

How could he choose sides? He thought, pushing the trolley along. When he could feel the emotions swimming through Fang?

"you know I had to do it Ig" Fang said, "to help"

Iggy said nothing for a few moments, then "I know, convince max that"

"Hell will freeze before that happens" Iggy couldn't help but agree

"So" Natella said, "Whats up with you and dark boy?" I nearly dropped the Jacket I held

"he left" Was all I said

"Ah, and you're still hurting about it, and now fate throws you together again" She said

"You know" I said, throwing the jacket to her, "You are the perfect balance of annoying and insightful"

She grinned, "So I've been told"

Lily signed, "She wants to know why he left"

I sighed, "To stop me and the others from dying"

"So you hate him for leaving, and protecting you, but you love him"

"remind me never to go clothes shopping with girls again" Leaf said

Lily signed, and Natella cracked up Laughing, "You got to teach me this" I said
