Ok on with the story!
-FANG'S POV-
Max.
Oh my Max, what am I supposed to do with you?
Max had been sinking deeper into depression.
I was so worried about her, I had not left her side in… days, I have no idea how many days it has been, maybe… 6 days since those dumb, stupid, demon, idiotic, scientist took Nudge and Iggy away.
Then there was the fact that Gazzy was sick.
So maybe it's not weird to you that he is sick but us bird kids don't get sick, it's just not normal for us to get sick.
But no, this little 9 year old boy was really sick.
I looked up, Max was rubbing Gazzy's back, he was hunched over, and his eyes squeezed shut tight.
He was sweating, and so weak that he could not walk. Kinda like a bad case of the flu.
And then there was Angel, I don't know about Angel.
She was being super clingy, and weirdly quiet. I had never known Angel to be this quiet; she had not uttered a word in a while. Like she knew something we didn't.
Angel glanced at me from where she was sitting. She just sat there and looked at me, it was kinda creepy.
Angel if you are reading my thoughts nod your head.
She nodded slightly.
Ok at least she is still kinda herself.
I walked over to Angel, I looked down at her. She lifted her arms and I scooped her up, she wrapped her arms tightly around my neck.
Sometimes I have to take a step back and remember that she is only 7.
It's just kind of hard to imagine Angel as a helpless little seven-year-old. She is like the exact opposite.
One she is not helpless, in no way, shape, or form.
I held Angel close to me, she buried her head into my t-shirt. She was crying slightly.
I kissed her head lightly.
I've always loved Angel so much. I don't know what it is she has just always had a special place in my heart. Ever since she was little and would just come and sit with me. I would play games with her and Gazzy, I helped take care of her while Max was busy, I loved to mess with her to hear her little three-year-old giggle.
When she went missing in Paris, I could not stay around; it hurt too much to see the rest of the flock.
They reminded me of Angel, I had to get out.
But now I regret that. I should not have left.
I just held Angel; her breathing had slowed, and evened out. I knew she had fallen asleep.
Max was watching us, she looked different, and she looked different. Her facial expressions did not look as stressed and depressed.
-MAX'S POV-
I glanced over at Fang, he was sitting with Angel, and he looked close to tears, Angel looked like she was sleeping. Fang closed his eyes and kissed Angel's head.
I actually smiled, it was a weak little smile that lasted maybe 3 seconds but I did smile.
I always knew Angel got to him, he had a soft spot for Angel, I knew that. He showed his soft side around Angel.
Fang looked at me to find me already watching them.
We just looked at each other, staring into each other's eyes.
Fang opened his mouth to say something, but he was interrupted.
By a door.
Double doors swinging open.
2 scientist and 3 Erasers stood in the door way.
Instantly Angel woke up, she spun around in Fang's lap and stared at them.
Gazzy sat up slightly, he opened his eyes. They instantly shot open about 2 sizes bigger.
Fang tensed. I swear every muscle in his body went on edge. His body was rigged, I could see the hate in his eyes.
You know the look the crazy murder has before he kills someone in the movies?
Yeah, well if you know that look… then you clearly know what Fang looked like. He looked like he was ready to snap that guy's neck.
It was the same guy that gave me the advice like my voice, about letting go and crap likes that.
And then there was the same Eraser that I secretly called Chubby. Yep they were back; well you know what they are dealing with two fifteen-year-olds that are out for blood.
I left Gazzy's side and walked towards them; Fang set Angel on the bed and walked to stand next to me.
We both stood there, almost daring them to try something.
"Say one word and we will kill you right here." I said to the lead scientist. I took a step forward, and an Eraser raised his hand getting ready to hit me.
Big mistake.
Before I even knew what was happening Fang had grabbed the Eraser's arm, shifting his own body weight, Fang flipped the Eraser into the lead scientist, punched the other scientist square in the nose, and was moving onto another Eraser.
I finally comprehended what had just happened, and then I finally decided to spring into action onto the next Eraser.
An alarm went off and more Erasers flooded the room, Fang and I continued to fight.
What can I say we have some crazy-freaking-ninja-skills!
"Everyone freeze or I'll shoot the kid."
Fang and I both froze; I turned to see Angel being held by the collar of her t-shirt. She was struggling against their grip; one had a gun to her forehead. She scowled at them.
"Shoot me I dare you!" she shouted. I gaped at her.
"Angel shhh!" I hissed. "This is no time for snappy remarks."
"Max, you know what I don't care anymore! I know I'm gonna die so why not just get it freaking over with!"
"Angel!" Fang said sharply raising his voice.
"Angel don't say that!" Gazzy yelled his arms pinned behind him by an Eraser.
Gazzy looked terrible, his eyes had dark circles under his eyes, he was really pale, and was even more tooth-pick skinny.
"Don't shoot her now, we're not here for her today." The lead scientist said, he had somehow recovered from having a 200+ pound Eraser flung at him, I was hoping it would have broken his neck, but no nothing can be that easy for us.
This guy was ginning ear to ear, the sickest thing I had seen in a while.
The lead scientist turned his gaze to Gazzy, who immediately broke down into tears. They had removed the gun from Angel's head, so I jumped the scientist. I had him on the floor in a choke hold.
I could see the light fading from his eyes, just like what happened with Maya.
Only this time I felt no gilt, I did not feel bad at all.
The scientist took his last breath, and then he lay lifeless under me.
"Told you." I whispered as I got off of him. Gazzy was still being held by the Eraser. Two came up and picked me up by my arms, I kicked, screamed, twisted, and whipped my head back and forth.
The dumb dogs strapped Fang and I down, Angel ran over and clung to her brother, her arms around his waist holding him tight. She was balling.
An Eraser came and picked her feet up, she did not let go of her brother.
"No!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Let them go!" I shouted. Fang and I were trying to get loose, yeah that did not work very well.
Why those little (insert swear word here) they cannot just take Gazzy!
I looked at Fang looking for any kind of comfort, or reassurance.
He just returned the gaze, with no comfort of reassurance what so ever.
"MAX!" Gazzy yelled as they dragged him out. I was sobbing uncontrollably. So was Angel.
Just like before the door slammed shut and we all heard the click meaning the door was looked.
Then our restraints were released, but no one ran to the door this time. Angel did not even sit up; she just laid there, listening to her brother's last thoughts.
Fang sat up and so did I, we watched Angel. She just laid there, eyes closed, tears slipping down her cheeks.
"He's gone," She said quietly.
"We can't get him back, my big brother's gone."
I looked at her, she was normally full of joy and happiness and mischief. Now she was just full of sadness and depression.
I realized that Angel had just given up completely. She knew there was no use in fighting; she accepted what was happening with her dignity intact.
I had not really realized just how much Angel had really grown up.
Wow my little Angel, my little baby was not really a baby anymore. She knew how to handle herself.
Facing your death can really put everything else into perspective.
Wow it seems like I say that a lot… but maybe that's just because I face immediate death a lot.
We all do.
I hope you guys liked it! Sorry it took so long! Please review!
Like I said maybe 5 reviews? Pretty please with Fax on top!
Thanks again peoples!
Like I said I don't own Max, or Fang (yet) or Iggy or Nudge or Gazzy or Angel or any other ideas that come from the book!
R&R!
