Sorry, gotta advertise lol. But I'm still continuing "Separation".

On with the chapter!

I could only stare at the two intruders and stepped back. "Get off now." I demanded slowly to Scholar and Crest. "Max, be reasonable." Crest started but I put my hand up and cut him off. "Off, now." I repeated, and annoyed, Crest threw the guy he was holding to the ground. Scholar also got off and walked over to my side, her back turned to the two. "You better have a good explanation." She snapped quietly and walked behind me. The one she had been holding down went to help the one on the ground.

"Max..." The girl said, nearly coming near me when the guy on the ground grabbed her wrist and spit blood onto the ground. "Hello Max. Happy to see us?" He taunted. "Iggy, Nudge what are you-" I started but suddenly Iggy was running at me. He pulled back a fist and brought towards my face, catching me off guard. It was inches away from hitting me when Jace caught it effortlessly and threw Iggy backwards. "Iggy!" Nudge yelled and ran forwards to help him, looking up at me in shock. "Nudge, who is that?" I heard him whisper.

Surprisingly, Nudge was silent, just looking at the rest of us. Finally she stood, a tough look on her face as she looked at me. "Where's Angel. She called us." She said bluntly. Then she looked up to our cave and cocked her head as if she was listening to something. Iggy stood, staring in my direction, his face was cold and harsh, and nothing I'd ever seen before.

"What happened to you two?" I thought aloud and quickly shut my mouth. Nudge stared strangely at me while Iggy's face grew darker. I sensed a long discussion coming. "Jace, get everyone inside." I commanded quietly. He knew not to fight me and rounded everyone up. "What Max? Got bored of us, is that it?" Iggy snapped as the others took off the ground and headed back to the cave. "What are you talking about?" I asked hesitantly, a bit shocked from his sharpness.

"Don't play stupid, traitor." He yelled and I saw his fists shaking. "You abandoned us and then sold us out to The School, didn't you?" He yelled. I didn't know how to respond. "How could you?" Nudge whimpered quietly.

"I don't know what your talking about. I didn't abandon you, you kicked me out!" I snapped, losing my patience. The nerve to do something and then blame it on me. "Like hell we did!" Iggy shouted just as Nudge yelled, "Enough with the lies Max!" I looked at her. She was hurt, I could tell. But I didn't understand why.

But I do Max. A voice said in my head. I whipped around to face the cave where Angel was just jumping out. She flew towards us and into Nudge who took her back protectively. "Two years ago, you left us. Just up and abandoned us. And now you're trying to say it was our fault?" She yelled at me, her eyes filled with tears. But I could she the smirk behind her mask and scowled darkly.

"Oh, you're good." I said sarcastically to her. "What do you mean?" She snapped. Don't try to fight me Max.

"Get out of my head Angel. I know what you're doing, it won't work a second time." I yelled at her. Won't it though? Nudge looked at her hesitantly. "Angel, what is she talking about?" She whispered. I walked up to her and tried to look her in the eyes by grabbing her shoulders. "Listen to me Nudge. Angel is manipulating you. Try to fight it." I said before a hand ripped Nudge from my grip. Iggy stared down at me with a glare of steel.

"I can read her mind you two. Don't let her win you back." Angel told them cautiously as the all stepped back. "Max, is it true?" Nudge asked me and I could see the frustration in Angel's face.

"Of course it's not true. She abandoned you Nudge, don't let her do it again." Angel snapped looking disgusted at me. "Enough!" I shouted. "She's lying to you. Don't you see it you two?" I snapped at them. Angel's smile had returned.

"Who are we going to believe. The traitor or the one who's stuck by us the last two years?" Iggy snapped at me before pushing Nudge and Angel behind himself. "Get going, I'll catch up." He demanded and they both nodded. I ran at him and grabbed the cuff of his shirt. "Iggy, listen to me. You don't know what your doing." I seethed at him but he pushed me off. "Don't I?" He snapped and pushed me off. My patience was growing thin and I began to get frustrated with him.

"Iggy, stop being so arrogant. You have no idea what you're saying." I yelled at him as he started to turn. He pushed off into the sky with me shouting after him. "Iggy Griffiths, get down here and listen to me!" He turned around and pointed at me. "No, you listen to what I'm saying." He shouted down to me before speaking, spreading his arms wide and insolently, gesturing me to bring it on. I heard what he said alright, and he was going to pay for it. "I fucked your sister!"

"I'll kill you!" I screamed at him and raced off into the sky with no running take off. I was there in a second, kicking my boot sole hard into his chest. He flew backwards, falling a few feet but I was on him again in a second, grabbing his shoulders and forcing him to the ground.

He struggled against me but I pushed him down until we crashed into the hard terrain below, Nudge's screams smothered under our fight. The dust was barely clearing but I was already straddling Iggy, my knees pinning his arms to the ground as I threw punch after punch into his face.

I didn't even notice Jace, Scholar, and Crest come up behind me. "Max, calm down!" Jace was yelling at me as they grabbed my arms and forcefully pulled me off of Iggy. I struggled against them, pulling fiercely as Scholar approached Iggy. She heaved him up by his shirt before pushing him backwards again. "Get lost." She spat as he strained to stand. He shot a dark scowl at all of us before backing up and taking off into the sky. "Get back here!" I yelled ferociously but he didn't even turn around, and soon enough they had disappeared into the night. There goes my shot at a happy family reunion.
