Me: So, I was writing and reading emails when I got this idea! What would happen to the flock if the person that keeps them together goes missing?
Iggy: We all go spiraling out of control, and then we crash and burn!
Me: Umm.....okay, pretty much. So, my sister helped me write this (For those of you who have read Iggy Ramblings :D, you'll know that she's pretty funny) so I'm dedicating this story to her.
This story is dedicated to my little sister, Heather, who helped me with my, slightly crazy, ideas :D I hope that you enjoy this story as much as I enjoyed writing it :)
Iggy: Bell, you're forgetting something!
Me: Iggy, I NEVER forget ANYTHING!
Iggy: Bell, you forget EVERYTHING!!! As you also have forgotten the disclamer!
Me: But Iggy, I own all of you! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Iggy: Bell, do you plan on getting sued?
Me: Nope. Cause I'm not going to!

(Nudge Pov.....just in case you didn't know)
Have you ever felt like you were unimportant or not needed? Well, I have so many times in my life, mostly because of our life style. Of course we didn't really have a choice in how we lived our lives; being chased by Erasers/Flyboys/M-Geeks, being mutants, being on the run etc, but there were times when I felt like my family didn't need me. Sure, I was the one that over talked all the time and someone would either tell me to shut up or cover my mouth with their hand before I got to finish my rambling. But, apart from those moments, I was just 'the other bird kid.' I also felt like I wasn't as important to the group as Max or Fang were. But one day.............that all changed.
This is my story.
And the Flock will never understand what happened that day the way that I do........
********************************************************************************************************************************************************
On the day when everything changed for me, I woke up and looked around the cold, damp cave to find everyone, except for Iggy, still sleeping. I slowly opened my eyes and quietly wandered to the edge of the cave and looked out at the sky. It looked beautiful that morning and I felt the soft morning breeze on my face as it blew my hair back in tangled strands. I inhaled the crisp air and let out a satisfied sigh. I couldn't wait until we were flying again.
"Uh, morning," I heard someone say behind me.
I turned to find Iggy staring in my direction with a confused look on his face. I guess he didn't know who had gotten up and randomly wandered to the edge of the cave.
"Morning, Ig," I answered shortly which was unusual for me. I didn't really feel like talking this early in the mornings, however I knew that I'd be back to my talkative self again later on in the day.
Iggy smiled, "breakfast in ten."
"Really? What are we having? I hope that you didn't decide to cook desert rat like Fang did that one time. It was truly and utterly disgusting you know!"
Iggy sighed. "No, Nudge, I found a frying pan and used the eggs we bought from the store yesterday."
At this, I smiled knowing that we wouldn't have to eat desert rat again. YUCK!
"Thanks Iggy," I answered happily and as he walked back to tend to the fire. I then sighed and sat happily on the edge with my legs dangling over the side. I guess that some people would feel nervous about sitting on the edge with such a sheer drop to the ground, but, considering the whole 'wings' thing, us bird kids never worried about silly things like that.
After a few minutes, someone else joined me.
"Hey sweetie, did you have a nice sleep?" Max asked as she wrapped an arm around me.
"Yeah, I had this awesome dream where we were shopping at this huge store and everything was beautiful. There were so many shoes and clothes with anything that you could imagine......"
I trailed off as I realized that Max had got a faraway look in her eyes as if she wasn't listening.
"Max?" I asked as I waved a hand in front of her face.
She seemed to snap out of it and she shook her head.
"What's wrong? Is it the voice again? Or were you just not interested in the dream that I had or-"
"No Nudge, it's nothing. C'mon, we better wake the Flock up for breakfast before we move on........."
"Where are we going this time? Is it somewhere nice? Like, Paris! I loved Paris! Are we going there-"
"No, I got directions from the voice again. So we're going to follow them and see where they lead."
I thought about this for a moment. I wondered where we would be going this time.
Max sighed as she stood up and walked back into the cave, clapping her hands and shouting, "Come on everyone! Up and at 'em, it's morning and we need to get moving soon!"
I grinned as I heard everyone start to groan as they got up. I was about to follow Max, when I saw something out in the distance. At first it looked like a flock of birds or something, but as it came closer, I realized that they weren't birds.
I turned and rushed into the cave.
"Max! Flyboys are coming this way!"
Everyone immediately stiffened and stood up, ready for action as we always were. Max immediately took charge.
"Everyone stay here, and no matter what happens, don't move from this spot! Got it!?"
We all nodded and she whispered something to Fang and tapped Iggy's hand twice before running to the edge of the cliff, and hiding behind a large rock.
Iggy grabbed my arm and started to drag me to the back of the cave where the rest of the flock were waiting behind another large boulder.
"Why are we hiding? Shouldn't we be helping Max!?" I whispered feeling stressed.
Iggy just shrugged before replying.
"I don't know, but we need to trust Max on this one."
I nodded, forgetting that he couldn't see it, and then said "okay."
He nodded back and then we all went back to the scene at hand. Max seemed to look at the flyboys and calculate her odds. There were only about ten or so, so she just shrugged her shoulders and went into battle.
After about a minute of this, Fang spoke up.
"We can't just stand here while she's fighting them alone! I need to do something!"
And he ran out of the cave towards the battle scene.
"Fang! Max said not to-" Iggy started before sighing and turning to me. "Nudge, stay with Gazzy and Angel, okay?"
"Alright," I answered as he ran out into battle too.
"This isn't good," Gazzy muttered.
"I know, they shouldn't be going against Max's orders like that. She's going to get really angry....." Angel replied.
"But they needed to help her! We couldn't just stand around and do nothing while she fought the flyboys by herself! Even Max needs backup!" I replied in a whisper, before I turned to watch the older kids fight. But, to my horror, more flyboys appeared at the entrance and came rushing into battle. I quickly counted the odds......and they weren't good.
"Come on," I shouted over the noise. And the three of us rushed into the battle.
