What's up people!!! Here is the new chapter of Paths Crossed!!!
Disclaimer: I own nothing but Zara, Zephyr and my totally awesome plotline.
Blackrose19902: yes max is like the mother figure, but at times she will be more like a older sister, since she was more of a mother of Angel and Gazzy. Fang is like an older brother figure, pretty laidback, but he can be really strict. As for the joining…just keep reading.
Chapter 4
The Discovery
(Fang's P.O.V.)
"Should we go check it out?" Nudge asked.
"Probably. Ig, Gazzy- head east, Angel-North, Nudge-South, I'll go west." I told them. We had sorta built-in compasses, so they knew which direction was which. We jumped outside and took off. I got about a mile away from the house before I was sure nothing was this way. I turned to head back when I heard a cry in my head.
Fang! Nudge needs help! I'm too far away to get to here in time! Angel's voice echoed in my mind.
Okay. I'm on it, I thought back, veering around sharply, heading south.
"…Phoniex!" I heard a girl's voice shouting, faint from distance, but I could tell she was shouting. A few seconds later a red flash erupted from the trees before disappearing. I doubled my speed.
"Hand-to-hand!" a different girl's voice shouted. Hers was the one we heard earlier, and it was more of a purr than the first's.
I reached a small clearing and saw Nudge hiding behind a largish tree at the edge of the clearing, watching the fight. I flew near her and watched.
There was two girls, one around my age, one around Nudge's, and one boy, obviously related to the younger girl, they were probably twins. The older girl was fighting two Erasers: punching, dodging, kicking. She was amazing at this. The rest of the flock and I were pretty good, but she had the skill that we didn't- the kind of skill that came with experience, and lots of it. And as she snapped the neck of the second Eraser, I realized something obvious; we were twenty feet away from the girl. Twenty feet away, thirty feet off the ground. This girl had wings, like us.
I looked at the twins, who were fighting four Erasers, although you couldn't say they were each fighting two. They fought together, like one mind in two bodies. It was pretty amazing to watch. They were in the air, but it seemed like they were floating, like they were riding the wind. They had a crazed, bloodlust smile on their faces, eerily reminding me of a predator that hunted not for food, but for pleasure. Like a puma or mink. Like an Eraser.
The smiles widened as they killed the Erasers.
There was one Eraser left, and he was stealthily sneaking up behind the older girl. Nudge noticed, too, because she drew the knife that she always kept on her. She could control metal.
"Max! Look out!" the boy shouted, his crazed bloodlust face rapidly fading into a mask of horror. The older girl, Max apparently, whipped around as Nudge threw the knife at the Eraser, guiding it into his heart. He fell from the sky.
Max looked straight at Nudge and her chocolate-brown eyes widened for a millisecond, then narrowed. Her hand lit with blood-red flames and her eyes turned to match.
I started from behind the tree…
Ha ha!!! Cliffy for all of you…
REVIEW!!! AND ANSWER THIS QUESTION:
Should I continue making max and fang's POV separate chapters or combine them?
WARNING: if I combine them, the update's will be longer apart.
Just Remember…
If the World didn't suck, we'd all fall off.
Doodles!!!
