Max:
I kicked him in the head just after he turned into the big bad wolf. I turned around and ran into the kitchen to find everyone staring at me like I was crazy.
"Either male models have invaded our house or there are Erasers. I think it's Erasers!" I cried as some burst through the door. Everyone got out of their seats and started fighting. The dogs didn't have a chance, there was just too many of us. Adam and Shade were doing their deadly combo attack together while Sky and Angel kept making Erasers fight themselves. Mercury, Fang, Iggy, Dylan, and Gazzy were surrounding small groups of Erasers and fighting like a group. I was a war machine, a one bird-man army taking out Erasers over and over again. A kick there, a punch there, and a headbut there. I was too busy fighting to notice that one person arrived late, that one person was fighting that hard, that one person wasn't actually getting hurt by the Erasers. I wish I had.
The fight was going on all around me. I punched an Eraser in the head while a gave a backward kick in the gut. I got a hit in the eye as I elbowed an Eraser in the nose. Then, just like that, they retreated. They lept through the window an sprouted wings . I always hate that breed of Erasers. But the main question I could see everyone thinking was- Why aren't they terminated like the rest? Adam and Angel were checking their respective flocks' injuries. They both avoided me, expecting each other to do it.
"Yo, I know I'm not the 'head honcho' anymore, but does anyone else notice that the first Eraser attack in years happened right after my old flock appeared?" I said, glaring at Angel and Fang. "Oh, and by the way, since no one seemed to care, I'm fine. Probably just a black eye, maybe a broken nose. Did I forget to mention the minor concussion?" I said breezily, now glaring at Adam.
Iggy, Dylan, Fang, Shade, and Adam came over at the same time so I panicked. I imagined I was in a box and they couldn't get in. No one could. I heard yelling and looked up to see everyone banging on something I couldn't see. I touched what they were banging on and felt a wall. My box came true!
"Max you had no right to say something like that. Now lower your mind blocks so I can see what's going on inside your head!" Angel whined, the only one not banging on my invisible box. I had forgotten my mind blocks, I kept them up all the time so I guess they must of become normal.
"No, I will not."
"Yes you will!"
"No."
"Yes!"
"No. Nothing you can do will change that!"
"If you do, I'll let you come back and lead the flock." Angel said smugly, knowing she won. When she said that, everyone stopped. I admit, I hesitated. I was free to make my choice, everyone was still outside my box. I saw their faces, like on a television screen. Fang, Dylan, and Iggy looked ecstatic. Nudge looked really happy while Gazzy looked like he couldn't believe it. My flock was a different story. Sky didn't look and me, she was trying to kill Angel with her glare. Weed was about to cry. Adam had his hands against the wall, desperate. Shade looked defeated, but Mercury looked determined. I didn't understand until she started speaking.
"Look, Max, think. I know you might hate me, I know you probably hate Shade, and I think you might hate that you're not leader. But think. Our flock wasn't complete without you and we'll be even more broken if you are a family, nothing can change that. They betrayed you! Broke you! But we couldn't do that. You know we never would. Think of Adam! What about Sky and Weed? You might even miss Shade. You might even miss me. We might not be best friends but you're my sister. Don't leave family for a chance of power."
I admit, that speech brought a tear to my eye. I looked around and saw nothing changed. Did they really think that little of me? I focused on my wall so Mercury could come in.
"Give Maxi a squeeze." I said jokingly, holding my hands out for a hug. She walked in and laughed. I still saw everyone else couldn't. Poop on them. "Yeah, I'm not leaving, I never was. Oh. and by the way demon-I mean Angel, you're never getting in my head!" My lock cheered and Angel flew towards the wall in a fury. I imagined it was electrified, I know, I'm evil. When she reached the wall, there was a scream and then the sweet smell of burning feathers.
"You know what, Adam, I'm going back to bed." I said and left to get some much needed sleep.
Angel:
I calmed down and had some tea. Everyone gave me a wide berth, apparently scared of my recent freak. I was just angry, for my plot to be complete, I needed Max in my control. I wanted to rule both flocks! But to control someone, you needed mind access which Max's mind did not give me. Adam would do, I guess, but everyone in his flock had mind blocks too! Iggy and Gazzy didn't have them so I only had two under my control. They did everything I told them too. Sadly, Nudge, Fang, and Dylan didn't.
I needed to weaken some of them. Intense emotion usually made people forget their mind blocks, but how do I get that?
"I got it!" I suddenly exclaimed out loud. Everyone looked at me. I went to my room and made Gazzy(against his will) clean up my mess. But I did get it! I'll make Iggy kiss Max in front of everyone, which will make Adam, Shade, Fang, and Dylan burn up with jealousy, temporarily letting go of their mind blocks. Who knows, maybe Nudge will get jealous of Iggy and I can control her too! All I need is a second to "worm my way in" as Max put it.
It was perfect.
Wow, Angel has an evil plan. So have you guessed who the traitor is yet? I'll give you a hint, it's either Nudge or Dylan. Will I reveal it soon? Will Angel's evil plan work? Will I keep quoting random places like Artemis Fowl and Victorious? Wait till next time. Review!
