Iggy's POV

I groaned as I opened my eyes.

I was surrounded by trees and it was dark.

I sat up and rubbed my head. My body ached all over and I felt dizzy.

I looked around and noticed I was lying in a puddle of dried up blood.

Everything came flowing back. I yelled and jumped to my feet.

I was alive.

I looked down at my body, not a scratch.

I opened my wings and they were in perfect condition.

I spun and turned but no matter what I couldn't find a scratch, bump, bruise or cut. I was fine.

That's when I realized. I could see.

I had perfect vision.

I yelled out in joy. I waved my hand in front of my face, I could see it.

How could this have happened? How was I alive? I tried to remember back to the exact moment I died.

All of a sudden I remembered the soft sound of someone standing by me as I took my last breath. My saviour.

I had to find this person.

Just then the flock went through my mind. Had they found me? Did they find me dead or did they find me alive and thought I was going to die and left? Had they even bothered to come find me? If they had, then why was I still lying in the same spot I had died? Didn't they bother to bury me? I felt my face heat as I got angry.

I would find them. Show them I was still alive and even better. I was no longer useless.

I opened my wings. I smiled as I looked at them.

They were about 15 feet long and a dirty white, grey colour.

I wandered out of the forest, taking in all the colours.

As I walked out I noticed it was night.

I took off into the night and flew low, hoping to come across our camp and hoped they were still in it.

I felt more alive than ever, I watched the world below me as I flew.

I couldn't wait until day so I could see everything.

After an hour or so I saw some smoke. I would have completely missed it when I was blind.

I flew over there and noticed the fire was dying.

But lying asleep was the flock, I assumed for I had never seen them.

Max had light brown, almost blonde hair. She had a few small freckles and was long and thin. She looked pained in her sleep.

Fang had black hair that was slightly longish and the fringe fell over one eye. His skin was olive coloured and his eyebrows were pulled together in a saddened frown as he slept.

Angel had blonde hair that flipped at the end and was between her shoulders and chin in length. She would have looked so cute and innocent asleep if her face wasn't dirty from tears.

Nudge was mocha coloured with dark frizzy hair. She whimpered in her sleep.

Gazzy's hair was blonde and sticking up everywhere. He looked a lot like Angel, and his face was dirty from tears as well.

Dylan had dark blonde hair and was curled in a ball, I couldn't see his face.

"Iggy" Max cried softly in her sleep and I felt my heart soften. So they had found me after all.

I sat down and watched them sleep. I wasn't tired. I wondered what their reaction would be like when they found me here, alive.

Max's POV

I woke with a pained heart again. I just laid there, unmoving.

I didn't want to get up ever again.

It had been 2 days since Iggy's death.

All we did was lay around here, everyone felt so lost.

It was my fault. I caused him to take off.

I felt my eyes swell up with tears again but they never spilled out, I had cried myself dry.

I felt like all the happiness had been stolen from us.

I opened my eyes, I had to face another day, for the others.

I sat and rubbed my eyes. We hadn't eaten in two days, I didn't even have the energy to feel sick.

I heard the fire crackling and the smell of…..rabbit, I think, fill the air.

I whimpered. I was hallucinating already.

I was imagining it, but I knew it would never happen again. I would never again awake to the fire and smell of food, now Iggy was gone.

"Rise and shine" a voice told me. I looked up and sure enough Iggy was sitting at the fire, poking it with a stick, roasting rabbit.

Sure everytime I fell asleep I had nightmares. But this was so real, almost a peaceful dream.

I sat by the fire.

"Not the reaction I was hoping for" dream Iggy grinned at me.

Why?" I asked it.

"Why what?" it asked back.

"Why must you torture me dream Iggy?" I sighed.

"Max" he said and I looked up at him. He leant forward and I waited for him to reach through me like a ghost like all my dreams do. All of a sudden he pinched me and I yelled.

"What was that for?" I yelled at him, rubbing my arm.

He just looked at me like I was missing the important part and my eyes widened.

"Iggy!" I yelled, throwing myself at him.

I hugged him. He was real. I heard everyone wake and there were gasps.

Soon I was getting squished as everyone was hugging Iggy.

I felt tears come to my eyes and I was smiling.

Finally after a lot of hugging and crying we settled down.

"What happened Iggy? We found you dead" I asked him, still waving my hand in front of him, I couldn't believe he could see.

"I don't know, I distinctly remember dying. But then I just woke up, good as new" he shrugged, swatting my hand away.

"How is that possible?" Gazzy asked.

"I remember just before I died, there was someone standing there. I don't know who, but I bet they had something to do with it" he said, chewing on some rabbit.

"Well I send my thanks to them" I said and he grinned. I was so happy, but I couldn't help hearing a small nagging voice in the back of my head.

Something was different with Iggy. And how was this even possible? It made no sense.
