Our footsteps stomped down the stairs on our way to the front door. The entire flock had been getting ready to retire for the night before I burst into each of their rooms, revealing the new information to them. I have never see those kids get ready so fast. I left Dove alone, not wanting to get her worked up again.
"Wait!" Jeb held his hands out, blocking the front door.
"We need to go!" I growled, stopping and almost getting ran over.
"No." He said calmly, motioning to the couch.
None of us moved. I only continued to glare.
"I have some very important information for you." He sighed.
With a groaned, we all moved to the couch as he requested. He sat as well, sighing again. He rubbed his temples before finally looking up at us.
"This is about Dove." Angel stated, not asked.
"Yes." Jeb nodded.
"Are you going to talk? Because we actually have something we need to do!" I snapped.
"Max… Alright." Another sigh. "Dove is the reason Iggy can see. You know that, all of you. But what you don't know is the effect it's taking on Dove."
"It's making her eyes turn green." I sneered.
"Hmm? Well, yes. But that's not what I'm talking about."
"No." Angel whispered softly.
"It's killing her." Jeb said quietly.
"But-"I started.
"And him." Jeb finished

(IGGY'S P.O.V)
What Kirill said wasn't any English I'd ever heard before, but it wasn't hard to tell what he said.
"Why would the scientist build a Tiger for a Bird?" I asked.
"Not just any bird." He answered, taking a step towards me. "Since you are about to die, I might as well fill you in."
"The bad guys never win when they say their plan out loud."
"Enough of your jokes." He growled. "It's time to die!"
He didn't wait for me to respond, instead he charged directly at me. I easily avoided him, fighting a few feet higher into the air. But he was fast. Fast enough to grab onto my ankle, slamming me down onto the roof.
I saw darkness outline my vision. I felt dizzy, but I rolled over, jumping back up onto my feet. The dizziness increased, but I ignored it. Kirill was already attacking again. His giant hammer of a hand aimed itself at my face, I only managed to dodge by a mere second. I saw my chance, I brought my hand down onto his throat.
He coughed, backing up, but shaking it off. If anything, I only made him madder.
"You will die!" He growled.
He flung his leg out, it connected with my hip, throwing me off the roof and out into the night air. My wings caught me just as I was about to make contact with the ground.
I calculated my next plan quickly while I was out of his reach. However, to my surprise, Kirill took a running jump off the roof top. He jumped farther than I normal human would be able to manage, and his clawed hand reached out, grabbing harshly onto my ankle once more. The new weight made me falter in height, almost pulling me to the ground.
I killed at his hand with my other foot, trying to get him off of me.
Then…. Everything went black.
My vision was gone. I had been away from Dove too long.
But my sudden lack of vision actually became an advantage. I had been blind for a great majority of my life. I was used to it. I had never fought while being able to see. Now all my senses heightened and I could feel myself become more confident in my ability.
I ceased my kicking, and instead reached down, grabbing onto his wrist and pulling him up. He was heavy, but I managed to pull him up to my waist.
"Go to hell, Kitty." I whispered darkly.
I brought my fist down onto his head. Once. Twice. Three times. All landing on different parts. His nose, his cheek, his eye. Then I shot up into the air. Still holding onto him. I continued up until I felt the air becoming thin and cold.
And I simply…. Let go.
Moe: Sorry for the short chapter! I have something big coming up, I promise.
Max: She means… She is considering the end being near.
Nudge: Please review!
