Big Brothers
Dylan's P.O.V.
Zap! I screamed in surprise. That's when I knew I was lucky, the lightning didn't hit me. Kale, on the other hand, I wasn't sure of.
"Fang!" I called. He was to far ahead. When I looked back I could see through the raindrops. They landed. I turned and followed Fang, that feeling in my gut making me sick. Eventually I caught up.
"There's a motel below!" He screamed over the sounds of the storm. Wind whipped my hair to the side and we were picked up and dropped.
"L-Land!" I shouted. He dropped, and I copied.
We landed in a field about a mile from the motel.
"Where's Gwen?!" He asked.
"Kale got separated from me. They landed farther back, I think I saw a store they probably planned on hiding in," I explained. Another roar of thunder.
"Lets move!" He ordered. I silently agreed. We were running as fast as our legs could carry us. The motel came into view and we tucked in our wings.
We entered the lobby in a jog, making the lady at the front desk look up. We tried to act casual, but our shoes squeaked and everywhere we stepped there was a trail of water. We came to the front desk and just stood there.
"Oh, uh, a room please?" I said hoarsely.
"Sure, credit or debit?" She asked. This time we really did just stand there and stare.
"Let me see," Fang said as he rummaged through his pack.
"Debit," I said as I put a bundle of cash on the counter. What? I was prepared. She smiled and handed us the keys.
"Room 206," she said with fake enthusiasm. I snatched them and threw my pack back over my shoulder.
We walked solemnly up the steps and rounded a corner on the second floor to head to our room.
"What are we going to do?" Fang asked. I was stunned. He asked me?
"Oh, all mighty one! I now to your knees! I, your servant, wait for your command," I joked, but it was kinda real.
"This is serious, Dylan. Our little siblings are out there…alone. Anything could attack them, the Erasers could track them down," Fang blabbered.
"They're stronger than us, they'll be fine," I chuckled as I stuck the key in the door.
"No they aren't…err-well, maybe," he thought aloud.
"Face it. Gwen is the best fighter we have…and Kale doesn't let anything get him down," I added as I turned the knob.
"True, but can they take on a whole pack?" Fang was still questionable.
"Think yes, always," I said. We walked in the room and sighed.
I laid down on the bed and the crisp sheet wrinkled beneath me.
"We should call Max," I tried. Fang looked at me weird.
"That'll just make her want to fly down here to look and Valencia says she can't or it'll…" he began.
"Damage your precious baby! I know! They can tell us if they get a call from them, though," I finished. He frowned as I sat up and dialed the home number. It rang multiple times before Nudge picked up.
"Hello?" She asked warily.
"Nudge, it's Dylan. Can I talk to Max?" I said while glancing at Fang, who was wringing his hands.
"MAX! DYLAN IS ON THE PHONE AND HE WANTS TO TALK TO YOU!" Nudge called in the background.
"What's going on?" Max asked from far away.
"I don't know," Nudge said, her voice was blurry.
"Dylan?" Max finally picked the phone up.
"Who else?" I laughed as I leaned back in my chair, sending it on the back legs. Before I could stop the chair had fallen backwards, me going with it. The phone fell from my hands and I landed letting out an exasperated "Oof". Fang recovered the device and shot me a grim smile. I growled inwardly.
"Yah, we got separated in a storm and now I'm stuck with this moron," Fang chuckled. I got to my feet and started setting the chair back on four legs.
"Oh, she has a cell phone?! Call it now!" Fang almost yelled.
"We'll I can't call her while I'm on the phone with you!" Max snapped. Then it was my turn to laugh.
"Oh," Fang calmed a bit.
"Ok, I'll call. Hopefully she picks up," Max said.
"I love you," Fang whispered.
"Just call the freaking number!" I barked.
Then there was silence as we waited for the phone to ring again. It did, sooner than we expected.
"Hey!" Fang breathed as he picked the phone up.
"Mom says we can't call incase they get our number and trace it," Max's worried voice came over the phone.
"Crap," he mumbled.
"You call…the number is…" Max started.
"I got it," Fang nodded after the forth time it was repeated. Then they went over about how much thy love each other and about the baby and stuff. I couldn't take it, so I left and trotted down the steps to the pay phone.
I dialed the number that was drilled in my mind. Seven annoying rings later a voice picked up, but it wasn't Gwen's sweet melodic, nor Kale's deep husky voice. No this was a girl's voice that dripped with venom.
"Hello?" It asked. I didn't speak.
"Oh, you're one of the angel's, hmm? We've got your little friends, want 'em back? Hmm?" Now I could tell this chick was messing with me.
"Who are you?!" I screamed.
"Hang up! We're fine! We can take these freaks!" Gwen's voice shouted urgently over the line.
"My name, hmm? It's Night, one you'll remember forever. I'm your new worst enemy, and I'm scary. Hmm? So, when shall I see you, hmm? We have your comrades. Are you to afraid to fight, hmm…Dylan?" The voice taunted. My heart hammered against my ribs. I hit the end button and dropped the phone. I threw myself against the wall and took several deep breaths, assuring myself that I wasn't in a dream. As soon as I caught my breath I sprinted to the room. I slung the door open and stared at Fang with big, round eyes.
"They got them!" I yelled. He dropped the phone and stared in shock.
"What's going on?!" Max cried. Her voice was muffled.
I picked up the phone and said one simple sentence, "They have them and we're gonna get 'em back, so stay put!" With that I hung up and grabbed my backpack. The rain still hit the roof in violent splashes, yet I was ready. Fang got to his feet and followed.
Where were we going? I don't know, but we'd find them. They won't be taken back. I wouldn't let it happen…
