Max's POV;
As I walked downstairs, I didn't smell any breakfast. That's because Iggy and the new girl were sucking each others face off in a deep kiss. I sneaked up behind the couch, 'cause they didn't care about their surroundings. "What are you doing?" Jumping up behind the couch and both of them almost fell off.
"Hang on, Cat." Iggy looked angry.
"You have to learn from her, not... fall in love!"
"I could earn her trust that way!" Iggy hissed.
"But did you learn anything?"
"Ya, show her Cat." Somehow, the girl had heard this whole conversation. Blushing, I watched as the girl slowly shrugged her back, and bam! Hugh, black, Fang-like wings. She looked amazing. She was gorgeous. Man, if Iggy could see...
"Well, then what's your name?" I asked.
"Selina, but you can call me Cat, like Iggy just called me," she blushed as she mentioned Iggy's name
"Alright, Cat, what else ya got?"
"Um, cat-like instincts. Oh ya, and when I touch someone, I can sense emotion. Based on that I can hear what they are thinking." 'Great,' I thought 'another mind reader' Cat continued "People think I can sing, and play a mean harmonica." She smiled wickedly.
"Fang!" I blurted "Do you know Fang?"
"Do you know where my brother is?" She gulped, squeezing Iggy's hand. I could see she was trying not to cry.
"I was hoping you would know. Wait, your brother?" I asked cautiously. By now, Iggy was hugging her, and she nodded in his chest.
"All the more reason to look for him," I wasn't as surprised as I would be. I mean she was pretty tall for her age, thin, dark, and Fang-like features.
"He would kill both of us," Cat whispered. "He leaves me notes all the time." She gave me a weak smile. "I know how you love each other, and everything in between. Max." And that was it. I hugged her as hard as I could without suffocating her and she laughed. I realized a lot about her; her charming personality was definitely one. But there was something Iggy could relate to. She was blind.
Max's POV;
I'll make pancakes!" Nearly bumping into Iggy, Cat rushed into the kitchen.
"Sorry, no mix." I shook my head.
"I never said anything about mix. Do you have flour?"
In the end, Cat made pancakes for everyone. It was pretty funny, 'cause they were great. And just like old times, when Gazzy got up, we heard a loud 'Ppppfffhht!' and we all ducked for cover. Ig and Cat were laughing hysterically in each others shirts. Too bad I couldn't hear a 'I'm done'
Angel's POV;
Max didn't want Cat sleeping on the couch, so she offered her room. Cat refused, said she only trusted Iggy, and ran in his room, occupying Fang's bed.
During the middle of the night, I sneaked into Iggy's room.
"Sorry, Iggy." I whispered. The room filled with a 'click, click' of a gun. Nudge probably heard it, and rushed into the room.
"What the hell are you doing? Max!" Nudge yelled. Iggy also growled at me.
"Get Max and I'll kill her." I answered sweetly. "Although I was going to do that anyway..." Just then, Max emerged out of her room.
"What's going on?" Max eyes popped open. "Angel?"
"Kill her, and you go down too!" Iggy shouted at me.
"She knows waaay too much." I explained. "And she led white-coats here,"
Max's POV;
Is this true?" Iggy asked, upset.
"No... It's not." Angel had let Cat go, and she was hanging on to Iggy for dear life. "Look, Angel, I don't know what you want from me, but..." Suddentaly, I heard Flyboys smash through the door.
"I told you! Told you!" Angel screamed at me.
"You are soo dead!" Iggy shrugged Cat off and she lost her balance and fell off the bed. "I thought I could trust you! And…" Iggy couldn't finish his sentence. Humongous Flyboys came and caught all of us. Iggy looked too defeated to care. All I heard after that,
"Surprised to see me?"
Cat's POV;
Dr. Chu," Max grinned her teeth. We were at the School. It smelled the same way it used to. Chemicals. All I smelled. All in those cages. Tight, stupid cages.
"So, Cat what is your wish?" Wondering why he was asking me that? I would. I had to find these guys for Dr. Chu. Then I get whatever I want. It sounded too easy. Waaay too easy. But I'll try.
"Yah, hold on." I turned. "Iggy? You still want to see?" Of course, no response. I touched his hand carefully. "Yah, give him sight. If anything goes wrong…uh, go throw yourself off Mount Everest." I couldn't think of anything else. What the hey.
"How 'bout you do that now?" Max muttered from my right.
"Yes, of course." Dr. Chu didn't hear Max's comment, or he just ignored her. "Come here, son." Thankfully, Iggy didn't struggle. "God, please watch over Iggy," I thought silently. And I waited.
Cat's POV;
It was night when I noticed Iggy was back. He'd been so silent.
"Iggy! Iggy, can you see?"
"Yeah, but I now wish I couldn't,"
"Huh?" I had upset him. That's the last thing I wanted. I got scared.
"'Cause, when I look to my right, I see a traitor." In frustration, he snapped his head to the right.
"Ig?" I purred. My cheeks burned. I felt his eyes focused on me.
"I, uh, I..." Iggy stammered.
"Gross," I heard Gazzy mutter. I started to bubble. "Thank God," I thought. "That Iggy's operation was a success," Nudge, Max, and Angel woke up.
"Is Iggy alive? Is he okay? Can he see?" Max panicked.
"Yes, yes and yes"
"Oh God, thank you," Nudge whispered. I almost squealed when Iggy slipped his hand on mine. Almost out of nowhere, a voice boomed.
"Hey you! Orders from the Boss! Get out of the cage! There's a new subject, and he needs a new home!" The man pushed Iggy into my cage. Iggy fell on top of me. I could feel his hot breath on my skin. He slid to my right.
"Selina?" It was a deep voice and only one person would dare call me by my real name.
"Fang!" I yelled. He reached out and stroked my hair.
"Wow, you guys look scary identical," Iggy pointed out slowly.
"Man, Iggy," Fang breathed. I blushed, remembering the cheesy insult. Max finally spoke.
"Fang, you idiot! You left without telling us where you went!"
"Max, it's for your own good,"
"And, how?"
"Dylan was right. Where is he?"
"Don't ever leave again!"
"Sleep, all of you!" Iggy ordered. Lowering his voice, he added, "In the morning, we forget all of this." I hoped Iggy didn't feel how stiff I was, but I think he did. 'Cause he slipped a hand in the back of my shirt and rubbed my back. And I thought of what a miracle today was; Fang was back, Iggy's sight.
"Ig, I'm sorry,"
"For what?"
"Everything" and he answered back with a sweet hug. When he moved away, he wiped my hair out of my face.
"All is forgiven," He draped a hand around me, and we both fell asleep.
