Hello! I am going to pick up the story form that ever-so-evil cliffhanger I left you guys with! Now, where was I…..
Max turned around just in time to see angel’s white wing disappear into a large, menacing coal-black chopper.
“ANGEL!!!!!!!!!” Max screamed as she flew twords the chopper at 200 miles per hour. She slammed into the side of the chopper, which left her hurt and slightly wounded. Before she coulde catch her breath, Ari, now equipped with large, dust-brown wings bulging with lab-made muscle, slammed into her side, which with she let out a small squek of pain. Little did he know that Fang had hung on motionless to Max’s back, making him invisible and a vital weapon. He slammed his elbow into Ari’s stomach so hard that his eyes rolled back into his head, and plummeted to the ground. The other Erasers, since he was their leader, left the three other flock members and clustered around Ari. Iggy, Nudge, and Gazzy flew up to meet them.
“MAX!!!!!” Angel screamed with teary eyes through the window, even though the thick-paned glass prevented any sound from going through. Max stretched out her hand, but the chopper slowly crept farther and farther away. Max refused to give up, though. After 4 hours of flying 200 miles an hour, she passed out cold and fell to the ground.
When Max woke up, the concerned faces of Fang, Iggy, Gaxxy, and Nudge were huddled over her.
“You really scared us when you just went limp and fell like that!” exclaimed Gazzy. Max, however, just gave a grunt in return, got up, and walked into the forest.
“Max, wai…!” Nudge started, but was stopped by Fang putting his hand on her shoulder.
“She needs time to think….” he murmured. In the forest, Max had perched herself in a tree and was weeping bitterly. She hadnt cried for as long as she could remember, but this… just…. ripped her heart out, the idea that she had failed, and that Angel’s life might be the price. As alert as she usually was, she didn’t hear Fang swooping in from the sky and perching next to her. He put his large, warm black wing around her, and she huddled next to him while she cried. She was so ashamed to be crying in front of Fang, but she didn’t notice the tears flowing down his own face. It hurt Fang badly to see her crying, and as tough as he was, for some reason her weak state made him cry the tears of 1,000 burdens, 1,000 battles, 1,000 wounds.
After her little drama attack, Max flew on the opposite side of the flock from Fang, to embarrased to talk to him. He kept his gaze averted from her, but his mind was a jumbled up mess of snapshots of her. He had this… deep painful feeling in his chest, but he’d never felt it before; never before had he been weak enough to even notice pain. It wasn’t a physical pain, though, he noted, so nothing to worry about. But even as they flew far enough to knock all sense out of someone, the pain continued to gnaw at his chest.
Max felt her face get hot
as she caught Fang looking at her while she was looking for food in the garbage. She thought he was staring at her but, which she never would have cared about before, but now she turned around, stomped up to him, and punched him in the stomach. After gaining his breath back he shouted,
“What the hell did you do that for!?!”
“You were staring at my but!” she retorted hotly. Fang blushed. ![]()
“I was just spacing out…” he muttered.
“Well… UUGGHH! WHAT IS WITH YOU LATELY!?!?” she screamed, even though she knew quite well what it was, because that same painful feeling was gnawing at her chest, and she was too afraid to think what it might be.
“Just, well, you haven’t been yourself lately…”
“Haven’t been myself? HAVEN’T BEEN MYSELF!?!? Fang, my little sister is in the School again, you’ve got your head in the clouds, AND WE CAN’T EVEN FIND FOOD!?!?” she exploded without meaning to. She simply turned around while muttering some extremely colorful words, while Fang watched her go with a hurt look in his eyes. She had never, ever screamed at him with that much hatred.
It billowed out from her mouth and blazed in her eyes so bright that it would seem that her eyes were on fire. Max wasn’t as angry as she seemed, though, and thought only about what to do in this situation. Was that feeling she was so afraid of love? <3
That was REALLY long! Oh well!
Nyan, nyan, nyan, nyan, konnichiwa, nyan!
