Chapter 5

"You are not coming with me. " I continued arguing with my flock. "You, Nudge, Gazzy, Angel, are going-"

"What about me?!" Total questioned, interrupting me.

"And Total," I added, annoyed that the flock couldn't just listen to me and obey me with trying to change my mind. "Listen, you are going to stay here with Iggy. You are not going to go anywhere except for the hospital and this house. Do not leave. At all. You're safe here, I'll be back soon, but for now you will cooperate with me. Understand?"

"But what if-"

"But what if you follow me and get yourself killed?" I said, glaring at Angel. She backed down, and looked at her feet. "Stay here. Everyone understands these simple instructions?" there was a series of head nodding, and I made eye contact with each to make sure they got what I said.

I didn't tell them where I was going or why. I didn't think it would do anything but cause problems. Me having to go find a special coin and necklace somewhere in this building in Germany was none of their concern. It didn't matter. It was better, and safer for them to just not know. It really was. If they knew then they would follow me and then Aimen would end Iggy's life because I let them interfere and then he would probably end them too. I wasn't going to let that happen.

"Listen to me this time; Guys…Please…just listen to me this time…Please." I pleaded. I really hope that they'll listen to me this time. I need them to listen to me this time. I need them to…and I really hope they will.

"Alright, I've gotta go, but remember to look out for each other, and stay together, and do what you need to do, and…when Iggy wakes up he's in charge, and…and I love you…and please just…just stay here where your safe…" my voice was breaking, I had to leave before I started crying. I couldn't leave crying because then they really would follow me.

Nudge came over to me and wrapped her arms around me, she was crying, "Max? Please be okay…" I hugged her tighter and Angel came over and hugged us, "Yeah Max, please come back and be okay," I swiped a tear from my cheek, and nodded my head; Gazzy came over now and wrapped his arms around us. "We need you, Max, make sure you come back."

"I'll be alright, and I'll be back. I've gotta go." I didn't give them a chance to respond; I ran across the yard and jumped into the air, spreading my wings, and flying higher and higher into the sky.
