Nudge the Quileute12

Saving the World and Reuniting the Flock

Iggy's POV

I was pretty miserable and depressed. Ed knew why. It was Nudge, or rather the Nudgelessness of choosing to go with Fang. I didn't trust Ari and if he hurt or killed Nudge, I'd go crazy. I knew I was hurting the others, with my miserableness and unareeableness, but I couldn't help it. It's not my fault, but Nudge got hurt or, I can't let myself think like that. It's too painful. She's strong; she's a werewolf protector from the Quileute tribe up in La Push, fifteen miles south of Forks, Washington, the rainiest place in the world, my werewolf protector.

We went to L.A., but then we had to hide and stayed with a gang, the Ghosts, for a little while, but then we had to leave. So far, all of Fang's plans had fallen through. I found myself wishing that I had chosen to stay with Max, because it might that I would know if Nudge was okay. I couldn't wait to see her again.

Then Fang got an e-mail from Max. I leaned over and said, "Read it aloud, already, man." Fang motioned to Gazzy and Embry to come closer and began to read, "We're in Germany. Town of Lendeheim. Big castle here, head of Itex. Lost of really bad stuff. Come here as fast as you can. (Hi Fang. From Nudge. I miss you! Embry, you better be protecting Iggy from the cold ones, or else, like I told Edward Cullen, I will hunt you down and kill you.) Do NOT blow this off. Come!!! We have days, maybe hours. I mean it, you better get your butt over here. Max."

Then we flew east and the further east we went, the ache in my chest, eased. It was almost as if my heart knew that soon I would hear Nudge's voice again. Then, while we were waiting to sneak onto our direct flight to Germany, a group of Flyboys attacked us. We dived into the ocean when Fang realized that Gazzy, Ed, and I all were out of our bombs and we couldn't fight our way through either. It hurt a lot when we hit the water, but listening to the Flyboys frying was funny and it totally rocked. Then we contacted Max with a webcam and sat there talking to each other and when Gazzy asked for something from France, I said, "Yeah. Like, a picture of Nudge in front of the Eiffel Tower."

Then we saw Max, Nudge, Angel and Total again, in the U.S. I hugged Nudge, while Max and Fang hugged each other and then I hugged Max, Total, and Angel and Nudge hugged and yelled at Embry, and then hugged Fang and Gazzy. Angel and Total and Max then hugged all of the others and after Gazzy asked, "Where do we go next," I grabbed Nudge's hand and then she smiled at me. I just knew she'd smiled at me. We were going to Arizona, but Nudge said that I was going with her to La Push and Forks to tell her friends something, that obviously had to do with the By-Half Plan.
