First I would like to apologize for my failed latest story (Everlasting Friendships) I didn't proof read it. I also thought of putting the story in the eyes of Max. But if you still want to read it I will post up the proof read version. Sorry
Chapter 27
Iggy was on the floor knees to his chest. It sounded like he was crying but his face was covered. Iggy finally moved but his face was still covered.
"Fang what will we do with him" Nudge asked. Iggy let out another pained cry. It was already night, Angel and Gazzy had gone to sleep a few minutes ago a few feet from Iggy's body.
"I truly don't know Nudge" I said while running my hand through my hair in a frustrated way. I heard another pained cry and looked over to Iggy.
"Well we have to do something" Nudge got out of her seat in the kitchen/family room. Iggy had finally let his face show as soon as Nudge stood in front of him.
"What do you want"
"Iggy I don't care if you had just killed your unknown father. He was a selfish bitch that didn't even want to tell you he was his son. Get up. NOW. Well guess what since Jeb is your father that means you are related to Max and guess what she is in trouble right now so get your ass up and let's move" I was surprised that she only said that in two breaths. Iggy bolted straight up at the last comment.
"Max we have to save her. Let's go" Iggy had a determined look on his face.
"Igs Angel and Gazzy are sleeping" I said and Iggy looked over his shoulder. But a part of me wanted to pick them up and save Max but the calm me told me to well...stay calm.
"Iggy get some rest" Nudge said putting a hand on his shoulder. Iggy obeyed and lied down on his side.
"You should too Nudge" I said and she lied down too.
"Well what about you Fang" Iggy said
"I'll stay watch first. Just in case Erasers come back." I sat down on the tattered couch and just sat there. Iggy had passed out as soon as his head hit the ground. Nudge inched closer to Iggy and rested her back on his. Is something sparking up there?
I was thinking about this until I heard a noise come from my right, Angel.
"Fang"?
"Yes Angel" She walked over and curled up into my lap. She may be tall for her age but she was still so tiny compared to me.
"I can't sleep"
"Well how about you and I sing something together" Angel smiled and I nodded. I hummed a random tune and Angel hummed along with me. I stopped humming and started adding words to it.
(Ragtime lullaby by:George Gershwin)
Won't you play the music so the cradle can rock,
to a lullaby in ragtime.
Sleepy hands are creeping to the end of the clock,
play a lullaby in ragtime.
You can tell the sandman is on his way,
by the way that they play,
As still as the trill of a thrush in a twilight high.
Won't you play the music so the cradle can rock,
to a lullaby in ragtime.
Sleepy hands are creeping to the end of the clock,
play a lullaby in ragtime.
You can tell the sandman is on his way,
by the way that they play,
As still as the trill of a thrush in a twilight high.
Angel was getting sleepier by the looks of it so I changed the song that she asked me to sing for her not to long ago:
Hush, little angel, don't say a word,
Fang's gonna buy you a mockingbird.
And if that mockingbird don't sing,
Fang's gonna buy you a diamond ring.
And if that diamond ring turn brass,
Fang's gonna buy you a looking glass.
And if that looking glass gets broke,
Fang's gonna buy you a billy goat.
And if that billy goat don't pull,
Fang's gonna buy you a cart and bull.
And if that cart and bull turn over,
Fang's gonna buy you a dog named Rover.
Angel smiled she had always wanted a dog but she couldn't because she moved place to place with mom and dad.
And if that dog named Rover won't bark.
Fang's gonna buy you and horse and cart.
And if that horse and cart fall down,
Well you'll still be the sweetest angel in town.
Angel fell asleep in my arms. I smiled down and kissed her on the forehead. She had put her thumb in her mouth and looked so peaceful. I heard rustling and there stood Mama Ashley in her robe against the doorway smiling at me. I smiled back and she mouthed
'softy' I glared at her but I knew it was true, Angel is my weak spot. If anyone hurt her I would have killed that person in less than a second. With just a chopstick. Mama Ashley turned and left back upstairs. The stairs creaked at every step. The creaking stopped and I looked back down at Angel.
"G'night little Angel" I dozed off and went into a deep slumber.
Once again I would like to truly apologize for the first chapter of Everlasting Friendships.
And no I couldn't think of another song to put in there so I just put in the lovely lullaby re written by me.
