Taken
Song: False Pretense by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
Max
I woke up screaming.
My hair was matted, and my wings were broken at the ends, preventing me from flying for at least a month. The vehicle that I was in was bouncing down the road like nothing was back here. My hands were tied to the wall, and I was kneeling. I sighed and flopped my head down. The truck stopped, and I was blindfolded and shoved into some kind of shelter. My blindfold was taken off, and I looked around. A calm, log cabin sat before my eyes along with...Dylan.
"Why, hello Max. Welcome to Germany and your new life."
Crap.
I launched into a series of fighting moves, and Dylan blocked every single one.
"Now, now, that's no way to treat me. Especially not with you leaving this behind..."
Dylan motioned to a TV screen showing the Flock, my Flock. Fang was yelling at Iggy, and the others were paired off. Angel with Iggy, Nudge and Gazzy with Fang. Dylan un-muted the sound.
"I'm going after her!" shouted Fang sharply, too sharply. Angel stepped back, her cheeks beaded with tears.
"Fine." Iggy stopped speaking, and marched back into the house.
"They'll be safe...as long as you stay here."
That was twenty years ago. I haven't seen them since. I did as the One Lights demanded. I have one boy, a son that Dylan named Seth. He has wings, and they took him away to train him to succeed my species.
As if fate is laughing in my face, he looks just like Dylan.
I miss them so much.
