Thanks for taking the time to read my second chapter. I kind of actually enjoyed making this chapter. I will try to start updating this story every weekend and if I have free time during the week (that is if I have no school work and such) than I will update then. I'm also working on two other stories; the first chapter of at least one of the stories swill most likely be out by next Saturday. But for now Enjoy! :D

Nudge's POV

"What are you doing?" I looked up startled and looked at Total.

"What?"

"What are you doing?"

"Umm, I don't quite get what you're asking me." I said adjusting the weight of Total to my other arm. "I'm flying." Total let out a heavy sigh and looked at the nature beyond us.

"Why are you leaving? Walking away, or in your case flying away, never solves your problems."

"What problems? I don't have any problems." Of course I was lying through my teeth but still, who's he to say I have problems…

"I know you're lying." Total said relaxing his ears. "You're mad because Max told your secret, am I correct?" I looked away from Total and started trying to concentrate to where I was going.

"You're not fooling anyone Nudge. I know how you act when something like this happens. It must be kind of weird for everyone to know that secret especially since there's a- Oh, I dunno- an age difference." Still I did not say anything. Total let out another heavy sigh and looked behind us. Is that…? He thought trying to look closer for a better glance. It is…

Iggy's POV

"How you doin' back there?" Fang said slowing down to catch up with me.

"Fine I guess…" Fang examined my expression closely and then looked forward.

"Can you tell the truth this time?" I glanced at him.

"What do you want to know?"

"The truth about, you know, earlier." I stared down wondering what to say. I couldn't lie because for some reason, lying never really works for me.

"I-I don't know what to say…"

"Well, what do you think about Nudge liking you?"

"Uh, I don't know…" Being blind had its benefits. For example, I didn't have to see Fang's dark, tedious brown eyes hammering holes into my skin although unfortunately, I could feel it, which made me shiver.

After a few minutes, I guessed that he had totally dropped the subject so I did too. We flew around for a few minutes flying between any obstacles we came across than I felt Fang brush against me telling me to stop.

"What's going on?" I asked quietly.

"Nudge and Total; they're really close by."

"What do we do?"

"Just stay quiet, I think they stopped for a break and so should we. There's a waterfall around here that contains pure sparkling water; they're probably resting there. Do you sense them?"

"Yeah I do. And I also sense some other people in the area; not humans… They're getting closer but they're coming gradually. I think they might be…"

"Erasers." Fang said under his breath.

"Yeah… I think the best thing to do since they're coming so slowly is to stay quiet and near anything we can hide near."

"OK."

"But shouldn't we warn them?"

"Yeah, you're right but not now. Hey, come on, let's go closer!"

Nudge's POV

What is this that I sense? Could it be…? No, I doubt that Iggy would come looking for me. He's probably in total shock of that whole dilemma earlier. I shouldn't really be mad at Max though. I guess she was just getting angry and spilled my secret on accident… Hmm… this presence feels like there's more than one person… Maybe two or four; could they be Erasers?

"Well aren't you just a thinker?" I jumped to see Ari walking toward me.

I jumped up quickly. "What do you want Ari?"

"Just to talk." He walked toward me a little more but I walked back.

"Like I hardly believe that!" I posed into a fighting stance and he put his free hand up.

"Hey, I don't want to fight. I just want to talk. And I know you want to know about Iggy right?" I relaxed but was still in my half fighter mode.

"That's what I thought." He sat down and looked at me smiling. "You like Iggy right?" I didn't say anything just clutched Total tighter in my arms.

"Well he likes you too." After a few minutes of thinking, I finally spoke up.

"How can I believe you?"

"Because well apparently you're by yourself."

"And?" He grinned and walked closer to me.

"I have a deal. If you tell me everything about Max and what kind of a guy she's in to, I'll tell you everything about Iggy."

"Haha, no. I don't think so!"

"And why not?"

"Because Max belongs to Fang, and that's the way it should be!"

"You're not cooperating." I quickly stood up.

"I'm out of here." Ari stood and grabbed me.

"You're not going anywhere!" Then all of a sudden, Erasers started coming out of nowhere.

"Ahhhhh!" I screamed at the top of my lungs when Erasers started grabbing me and pulling me toward the helicopter that had just flown in. Than two flying bird like humans flew out of the sky hollering my name.

"Nudge! Hey Nudge!" It was Fang and, I couldn't believe it, was that… Iggy? Those two were the last things I saw until I slipped into a dark and cold slumber.

So was it interesting? Did it need a bit more detail?
