Well, this is just great. Fang and I were about to go on a date, and everything goes wrong. Why does this always have to happen to us? It’s like the universe was against us, and we were loosing. So this is what happened. Fang looked good. Okay, not good. AMAZING. But maybe I’m biased. I was all dressed up too, ready for our date. I walked up to him, and threw my arms around his neck, ready for a kiss. My lips were an inch from his, when I was knocked to the ground by something. I was trying to catch my breath, making that oh-so attractive fish gasping face, and I saw Max 2! I hopped to my feet and poised for a jump, when I saw who was with her.
Omega?! I thought I’d finished with him! Then again, I thought I was done with her too. He was attacking Iggy, and winning. Iggy was underneath him, bloody and unconscious. How had Omega knocked him out so quick? I jumped on Max 2, yelling at Fang to help Iggy. I was on top of her, punching her face with as much as I was capable, peering at Iggy every so often. Fang had thrown Omega off of him and was fighting with him. I hoped Fang could handle Omega. I knew how hard a time I had with him and was hoping it wouldn’t be as hard for Iggy.
Max 2 was struggling underneath me, trying to find an opening to hit me, but she had no chance. I was so mad that she would even try to hurt me and the Flock that there was no way in h-e-double-hockey-stick that she was going to inflict any pain on us. I stood up, her body nearly limp and extremely bloody underneath me. I picked her up by the lapel of her shirt and stood her up, never letting go of her shirt. “Why are you here?”
“To stop you.” She said, mechanically.
“Um, Max? Her back.” Nudge whispered. I turned her nearly dead body till I could see her back. Underneath the bloodstained skin were wires, red and blue. It reminded me of Sue-Ann, one of the traitors we’d found tapped in Antarctica. “Oh God. They’re wired guys! Ar-te-legra-fortu!” I yelled, which meant we had to leave through any exit and meet in the skies. Iggy was still limp, so I ran towards him, Fang still against Omega.
“Fang! Dre-fog-nor! NOW!” I told him to hit Omega in the hardest spot he could and come help me. He hit Omega, causing him to double over and take a deep breath, Fang already next to me. We picked up Iggy, supporting him on our shoulders. We ran towards the ledge of the hotel, and jumped, letting our wings out at exactly the same time. We flew up and saw the Flock and the Outsiders’ twenty feet higher. We flew next to them, and I said, “Let’s fly over to those trees.” Fang and I flew to a branch strong enough to support all three of us and landed. I checked for a pulse, relieved when I felt one. Angel came over and said, “He’ll be fine. Omega broke his nose and knocked him out, but he’s gonna be fine.”
Good. Iggy would be fine. I couldn’t deal with loosing him. I looked at Fang and he nodded. We had to leave, now. Luis and Fang picked up Iggy this time and we flew for an hour, out of the state, and into Connecticut. We rented 3 rooms again, and once inside, laid Iggy on the bed. He had it all to himself, while Fang slept on a chair and Gazzy on a pullout sofa. When I went back in their room around 3 to wake up Fang for his shift, Iggy had already fixed himself to be comfortable, smiling in his sleep. Fang was awake before I could tap his shoulder. He walked out after me. Before I could go into my room, he pulled me against him, kissing me until I was dizzy. “What was that for?” I asked, dazed.
“Well, you were planning on kissing me before we were attacked, and I wanted that kiss.” He said, smiling. I left him, ready to get 5 minutes of sleep.
I woke up, smelling eggs coming from across the hall. Iggy was up and cooking, and I was hungry. The rest of the Flock was up, so were the Outsiders’, waiting for Iggy to finish cooking. When I walked into the kitchen where he was, I found him pressed up on Sarah against the wall, kissing! Before they could notice me, I walked back out, my mouth hanging open in an O. When Fang saw my expression, he smirked and pulled me onto the couch with him, keeping his arm tight around my waist. “I know.” Was all he needed to say. Iggy and Sarah? This was going to take some getting used to. Iggy. Sarah. Wow.

That morning, I decided we were going to get makeovers. When I told Nudge, she hugged me so tight, I nearly passed out. Angel was almost as excited as her, the boys nowhere near as enthusiastic as the girls’, but whatever.
“Fang,” I said, “Take the guys and do something. I really don’t care if you use the money to get haircuts or eat, but use it on something useful, kay?”
He nodded, “Sure. Since you’re getting all made-up, I think this would be the perfect night for our date.” He said, taking me off guard. We had decided before we wanted tot go on a date but then he “died”, I almost got killed, and Nudge killed Brigid. It was kind of hard to fit a date in between all of that. “Um, sure. Where are we going?” I asked, oh so curious. “Somewhere nice. I’m taking you on a real date.” He said, leaving me with that. I knew that trying to ignore Nudge and Angel’s curios glares that they’d overheard our conversation. I gave Amanda $75 for all three of the Outsiders’. I thought it was a generous offer myself. We all went our separate ways and were to meet at the motel at 7:00.
“Max, where are you and Fang going for your date?” Nudge asked, her eyes sparkling.
“I’m not sure. He didn’t tell me.”
“Well, I think it’s romantic. The surprise and all.” Angel said, hearing the irritation in my voice.
“Yah, I guess so. I just wish I knew where. But he said it was going to be somewhere nice, so I guess first we should get some clothes. Nudge, I hate to say this, but I want you to pick out my outfit for tonight. Something dressy. I want to surprise him.” When I said this, both Nudge and Angel stopped in their tracks, mouths open wide with astonishment at my request to look nice.
“That you, Max? You want to dress-up for him?” Nudge whispered.
“Yah, I guess so.” I said, blushing. We walked into a Mandee’s store, and I thought ‘Whoa.’ Everything looked so nice in here. Nudge started pulling out clothes, making possible outfits for me, excitement steaming her hyper movements. Angel grabbed clothes, too, but Nudge was a natural at this. It was like breathing for her. After 5 different outfits, they finally picked the one that looked best on me. I dare not to look at myself, almost afraid of the outcome of their work. After I bought my outfit and one for Nudge and Angel, we left.
We were walking through town center, wherever we were, and passed a few hair salons. Eventually, Angel turned to me and said, “Okay, time for your hair.” I tried to smile, but was only able to form a grimace. They pulled me into the next salon and I was in a chair immediately. The place was empty, easy to escape from. I thought of what Fang’s plans were as I sat in a chair for 2 hours. I was twitching by the time we left. Angel’s beautiful blonde hair now had streaks of green on the newly cut bangs lying on her eyebrows, Nudge’s hair had little blonde highlights, exaggerating her dark brown hair. My hair, well, my hair looked different. That’s all I’m going to say now. It was almost 7 and we were at the motel, waiting for the others. When we got there, the Outsiders’ were there with Iggy and the Gasman. When they saw me, Luis’ jaw dropped, as did Gazzy’s while Iggy’s expression went from boredom to astonishment. “Where’s Fang?” I asked Iggy.
“He’s inside our room, getting dressed.” He nearly whispered, but I could hear him fine.
“Come on, Max. You need to get ready for your date, too.” Nudge said, pulling me towards our room. I tensed at the thought of being in a room with Nudge, preparing for a date. She was going to be ecstatic. After I took my shower, Nudge and Angel helped me slip into my ‘outfit’ and then made me up. I looked like I was 20, plus my long legs and model body. Some people would call me lucky, but I preferred ‘technologically enhanced’ since the reason for my figure was the construction of my bones by sadistic whitecoats. I walked out of the room and heard more gasps and intakes of breath. I still didn’t know what I looked like, afraid to see my reflection, to loose my nerve. When Fang came out of his room, I almost gasped openly. He was wearing a suit. Black pants, white button-down shirt, the first two buttons open, revealing a black shirt. He looked so hot, it was unbearable. I walked over to him, threw my arms around his neck, and almost kissed him. Almost. Then all hell broke loose.

****FANG’S POV****

“What did you do!” I yelled at Brigid. She was in the kitchen, Max on the floor next to her, convulsing.
“I did what had to be done for Mr.Chu. For us.” She said.
“US!? US!? What the HELL DO YOU MEAN US??” She was crazy! Iggy came in, probably heard her scream. He didn’t know what happened, he couldn’t really see Max on the floor, so… “Why did you stab her?” I snarled. She had a bloody kitchen knife in her hand, a devilish gloat on her face.
She straightened out of her feline like stance, and looked at me compassionately. “We couldn’t be together with her in the way.”
“What do you mean. There would have never been an us. I do not like you. I cannot stand the sight of you.” I said, spitting acid with every word. I wanted to hurt her. Kill her. But then Nudge came in. “What happened? What the HELL HAPPENED TO MAX?” She was madder than I’d ever seen her. When she saw the bloody knife in Brigid’s hand, she attacked her. She jumped on Brigid and all we heard were screams from Brigid’s mouth, Nudge with the bloody knife in her hand, the knife dripping. Angel came in with Sarah and they pulled Nudge of off Brigid’s mangled body. Nudge dropped the knife and broke down into Sarah and Angel’s arms. She killed Brigid. She used to like Brigid. They walked out of the room, Nudge still shaking with hysterics.
I looked at Max. She was barely breathing in my arms, the blood seeping out of her back forming a puddle on the floor. Iggy was knelt down on the floor next me, checking for anything he could do to help. “Iggy, what can you do?” I asked, trying to stay as calm as I could manage.
“Nothing, man. I can’t do much. I’m sorry.” He said. I looked at his face, and he looked agonized. Almost as bad as me. Then Sarah came in. “What do you want?” I nearly whispered. “I can help her. Turn her over lightly. I can help her, trust me.”
There was nothing I could do, so I listened to her. She closed her eyes and laid her hands an inch above Max’s gaping wound. It really looked nasty. Dried blood on her clothes, the gash still oozing fresh blood. Sarah closed her eyes and seemed to concentrate. I almost lost it when Max’s cut started to reseal itself. Then her eyes opened and she started to take in deep breaths. I looked at Sarah. “How… How did you do that?”
“I have healing abilities. They come in handy very often.” She said, smiling a bit.
“Thank you. Really. If it wasn’t for you and Amanda, we would both be dead.”
“Your welcome.” She said, standing up and leaving us alone. I looked in her eyes and almost hugged her. Then I realized that might hurt, so I smirked. “Death’s gonna have to catch up with us eventually.”

****MAX’S POV****

Brigid stabbed me. That bitch stabbed me, and almost killed me. Then Nudge, sweet, harmless Nudge, stabbed her to death. And Sarah saved me. She healed me. This was getting crazy. She healed me, and I can’t even feel it anymore. It was sore for like an hour, but then nothing. No pain, no soreness, nothing. We relocated that night, going far this time. We had to leave Mom, Ella, and Jeb behind. I didn’t want them hurt because of us. They’ve had enough lately. We went to a little motel outside of Alabama. After we had all the other kids in their rooms, we went to our room. Fang had insisted on us sharing a room. When we got there, I took a very long shower. My hair was getting too long, I needed it cut again. My mom gave me some money to last all of us for a while, so I figured we could indulge a little tomorrow. I was planning on treating us for haircuts, or at least the girls. I felt massively girly thinking about this, but whatever. I deserved it. In just the past week or so, I had lost Fang once, and almost myself, and been killed by Brigid. The only thing that was good from it was that Brigid was dead. I talked to Nudge about it and she said she couldn’t help herself. She seemed bugged about it, but as soon as I tell her about the hair cut, she’d be fine with it. She’d forget it, I knew that. Brigid was gone and I was happy. Fang had been a mess after my near-death event, part 2. Henceforth the extra room for us. He wanted some ‘alone time’.
After our showers, I just wanted to sleep. Sleep a lot. It wasn’t like me, but oh well. Near death incidents made you tired. And I thought I deserved it. So when he tried to kiss me, I kissed him for a few seconds and then stopped. “I need to sleep, Fang.” I said. I fell asleep in his arms, and slept straight through the night, which is something I hardly do. The next day was time to be teenagers and have fun.

I gawked at her for 2 seconds, and then looked at Fang. He was tense, his eyes on me. When I smiled, his shoulders relaxed and he tightened his arm around my waist, puling me tighter against him. I looked at everyone’s face, all of them sharing the same kind of expression. Shock and anxiety. Brigid looked nervous, flipping her red hair over her shoulder. “Max, there’s another chair in the next room.” My Mom said, breaking the dead silence. Fang and I walked into the next room, and before I could turn on the lights, Fang pinned me against the wall, my hands down at my sides, his face inches from mine.
“I know you don’t like her, but leave her alone. If it wasn’t for her, you would’ve never realized you liked me.”
He was right, but I still didn’t have to like it. “Fine. But I don’t like this.” There was some hair n his eyes and I brushed it out of the way so I could see them. His lips were only inches from mine. All I had to do was reach up on my toes and…
“Oh, and one more thing.” He said, reading my mind. He tilted his head towards mine and our lips were one. I was light-headed until I remembered to breath, and he tilted my head to kiss me better. Then she came in.
“Umm. Hi. Guys?” We didn’t notice. I was pulling him tighter to me as he pressed my body between his body and the wall.
“Fang?” She was annoying me, so I stopped kissing him. He tried to kiss me again, but I smiled and shaked my head. He turned to see why we stopped and sighed when he saw her. He moved away from the wall without letting go of me and I tried not to laugh.
“What?” He asked in straight monotone. I hoped she could tell he was annoyed for her interruption.
“I wanted to talk to both of you.”
“Before you say a thing to us, why are you here? You should be in Antarctica or somewhere that isn’t here.” I snapped at her.
“Well, I had nowhere else to go. My project has no sponsor and I didn’t want to spend my time at home everyday and night.”
I wish she did. “Okay, don’t you have family? Go stay with them.” Fang shuddered when I said that. I was getting a little mean. Too bad, she shouldn’t be here.
“Most of my family doesn’t talk to me. My parents died when I was very young, and I decided to stay with my mother’s only relative, my Aunt. When I chose her over my dad’s family, they shunned me. Then my Aunt died. I haven’t seen my other family in 8 years.” Oh, so she had a sob story. Well, I bet she didn’t live ion a cage for part of her life. She wasn’t chased by rapid Erasers hell bent on her death. She had family problems, big whoop. I have wings. “You can stay, but don’t get in the way.” I was being nice. What I really wanted to say was “Well, maybe it’s time for a family reunion.” But I promised Fang I’d be nice. Or something close to that.
“Thank you! I promise! I’ll help with whatever I can do. I won’t be a nuisance.” She smiled at Fang, who looked bored with this whole conversation. I needed to make sure she knew something though, so I reached on my tippy-toes and kissed Fang with all I had. I looked at her after, daring her to try something. She silently sulked away towards the kitchen and I was happy.
The rest of the day went fine, Fang and I never left each other’s side and everything was fine. I decided the Flock could stay here for 2 more days, which would make 3. The next day we went swimming at the beach. Fang and I were lying on a towel, his arm around me as always. Brigid was being all smart, taking samples of the water, collecting anything of scientific significance. She even took sand. I was nodding off in Fang’s arms. I took first watch and was supposed to wake Fang up when it was his turn to watch, but he looked so peaceful and calm, I couldn’t. So I was a little tired and Fang was comfortable enough for sleep. He was playing with my hair while I started to let my eyes flutter. He whispered in my ear, “Your hair looks really nice in the sunlight.” And I smiled. I had just decided I liked compliments, especially from him. “Thanks. You’re comfortable, you know that?” I asked, about to fall asleep.
“So are you.” He said, smiling. His expression was longing and I knew he wanted to kiss me, but I wanted to sleep, so I settled my head into his chest and slept. When he woke me up, it was sunset, the Flock and the Outsiders getting ready to leave.
It was amazing that we could actually spend a whole day without any pain or fights at a beach. About a year ago, we could hardly spend an hour without being attacked by something, and now, I was nodding off in someone’s arms on a beach. Funny how things work out. But I still had to talk to Brigid about Mr.Chu. I hadn’t forgotten her little chat with him. When we got back to the “safe-house”, I told Fang I needed to talk to her. He told me to be nice, and I told him I’d try.
I found her in the kitchen, getting something to drink. “Hi, Brigid.”
When she turned, her expression looked nervous, almost. “Hi, Max.”
“Can we talk?” I said, sitting down in a chair.
“Sure.”
“Okay, remember back when I saved my mother from Mr.Chu? And I saw you talking to him? You said you were exposing him. I haven’t heard of any exposure lately. Mind to tell me what that’s about?”
“Don’t worry, Max. In due time, he will be exposed for all he is.”
“Which is what?”
“A manipulative man, trying to destroy the world he lives in.”
“Okay. I’m gonna be honest with you, Brigid. I don’t like you, never have, probably never will. Fang loves me and I love him back. If I catch you doing anything that is going to mess us up, I will be the one to stop you.” I said, acid in every word. I left her with a deranged look on her face, and suddenly, there was a sharp pain in my back, I screamed and fell to the floor, my shirt wet and sticky with what could only be blood. The last thing I saw was Brigid standing over me, and Fang running in, agony in his face.

sWe got to the “safe-house” and settled in. When I was on my “suicide’ mission when I thought Fang was dead, I had got shot in my left wing near the bones 3 times. I have no idea how the M-Geeks managed to hit me in nearly the same spot 3 times. It was weird, like they were trying to knock off my wing, and it was sore, so flying was doable, but still hurt a bit. I couldn’t fly too long, or I may damage it again, says my mom, the veterinarian, which was ironically appropriate. Fang and I had walked- yes walked not flew- to the boardwalk near the “safe-house”. We were on a date. He took me to a little hot-dog stand and bought us 8 hot-dogs. When he ordered, the guy working the stand looked at us, confused. I guess most kids don’t eat 4 hot-dogs at a time. Oh well. We walked to a bench, the sun setting behind us, and ate our food. This seemed a little too perfect. I don’t know, call me paranoid. My hot-dog bun was soaked with ketchup that was all over my fingers. I licked the ketchup off, and blushed after I realized that it wasn’t very flattering for a girl to lick her hands clean. Oops. He smirked when I looked down self-consciously after I licked my fingers.
“I like that you’re not afraid to do that in front of me. It’s kinda cute, actually.” He smiled at me.
“Cute? Me?” I asked and he nodded. “Huh, that sounds nice, actually. God, Fang. You’re making me all girly now.” I stated. It’s true. Ever since I was able to admit to him my feelings, I’d gone soft, girly.
“Cute, yah. Girly. Not really. Nudge has that covered. You’re just girly enough.” He said, his face softening. I’d never noticed how he looked at me like I was some sort of prize. It made me feel… special… Okay, yeah. He was making me girly.
“I’m a mess, Fang, and it’s because of you. I almost killed myself for you. That can’t be good.” I said, bringing up what he wanted to be left down.
“I would’ve went crazy too. It’s okay. You’re fine now, so let’s just leave it. Wanna get some ice cream?” He didn’t want to talk about this, fine, I understood that, but that didn’t stop me from thinking about it. “Sure, ice cream.” I said, and he sighed when he took my hand as we walked towards a Rita’s stand. I did a 360 and froze before tensing.
I threw myself on Fang, kissing him, making sure no one could tell who we were, trying not to notice the people watching us, though he didn’t seem to care as his hands were knotted in my hair, tilting my head to kiss me better. His eyes were closed, but mine weren’t. I maneuvered our bodies towards a ride that was crowded and then broke from his lips, gasping for air. He was staring into my eyes, dazzled. “What was that for?” He asked, amused. I was still tense. “I think I just saw Anne. Remember, the woman that took “care” of us in Virginia?” His expression turned from one of pleasure to that of hatred. “Where?” He did a 360, his arms still around my waist. He pulled me against his chest and said, “She’s next to the bottle-caps toss. We should leave.”
“No, let’s stay. I’m going to go talk to her.” He didn’t let go of my waist.
“No.” His face showed no sign of weakness.
“Why not?” I said. Call me defiant.
“Because we don’t need her knowing we’re all here. And you’re not gonna be nice, so no.” He pulled me tighter against him. I looked up into his eyes, about a head higher than mine. “Come with me then. Pull me away when I get mean.” I could compromise, but I was gonna talk to her tonight, one way or another.
“Fine.” He loosened his grip, but didn’t lift his arm from my waist as we walked towards Anne. When we got next to her, I lightly tapped her on the shoulder. When she turned, her smile went away.
“Max? Ni- I mean Fang?” She looked surprised. Well, I guess she would be.
“Hi, Anne. Why are you here? Following us? Did Jeb put you up to this?” I didn’t beat around the surface, got straight to the point.
“No. Look, I’m trying to have a normal life now. I stopped working for the government and all, I’m finished with anything concerning them. I’m done with all of that.” She looked like she was telling the truth.
She is.
Oh, really, Voice?
Yes, Maximum. She isn’t any concern to you anymore.
Yah, so this is just a coincidence? Sure.
Yes, just a coincidence.
Fine, but I don’t like it. I’m packing everyone up. We’re leaving tomorrow.
That is unnecessary, but okay. It said that and no more.
“Anne, if I find out you’re here for someone, I will personally visit you.” I said, smiling.
She nodded, then turned back to her date, who was eyeing us suspiciously. Date.
I was unaware of Fang’s arm around my waist while I was talking to Anne, but when she turned to her date, I looked at Fang. He looked a little annoyed but happy. We walked back to the Rita’s line and got some Gelato’s. “I’m impressed. You managed to threaten her and not be mean at the same time.” He said sarcastically.
“Well, she’s supposedly okay now, so says the Voice, but I’m not sure about it, so we’re leaving first thing tomorrow.”
“Okay, relax, you’re shoulders are like wood, they’re so tensed up.” He started massaging my shoulders and I shuddered at his touch. He was being real nice tonight, thoughtful. His next question caught me off guard. “Were you gonna have sex with me just ‘cause you thought I was dieing?”
I couldn’t think of a legit answer so I blurted out the first thing that came to mind. “Yah.” Once I said it, I regretted it. His expression went from loving to taunting.
“So, if I told you I was gonna drop dead tomorrow, we could have sex?” He was enjoying himself.
“I don’t know, Fang.” I said, blushing.
“Max, I’m dieing. I only have like 60 years left.” He said, his voice deep with mock sadness. “Let’s do it.”
“Ugh. No.” I said. This wasn’t funny.
He laughed then pulled me against him, tight enough for me to loose my breath. “I’m just messing with you. We don’t have to do anything you don’t ant to do. And we’re only 14, give or take a few months.”
“Good, ‘cause I wasn’t planning on saying yes anytime soon. It was just me giving you something since you were gonna die, I guess. Too bad the M-Geeks came, right?” It was my turn to taunt him.
“Yah, we were pretty close. You’re really sexy when you wanna be. You know that?”
Whoa, he did NOT just say that. I’ve never heard him say anything like that before, and I felt my face burn. I was surprised he found me sexy.
“Wha? Sexy? Me? Haha, Fang.”
“It’s true. If me dieing would make you like that, call me the Grim Reaper.”
“Okay, Fang.” He laughed then kissed me, and I was lost. Whenever our lips touched, I melted like a marshmallow over a fire. Fang had me. He knew I was weak for him, and he used that to his advantage. I almost forgot we were in public, but when it dawned on me, I broke away from his lips. “Can we go somewhere more private? I don’t like being this vulnerable.” I didn’t want to be so straightforward with my insecurity, but I knew that if just said ‘let’s leave’ he’d ask me why.
We walked towards the beach, and found a spot we could take-off from and flew until we found a secluded area. It was as secluded as ever, the lone island we found in the ocean. Romantic, I must say. We landed and I nearly knocked him down when I threw myself at him. He laughed when we fell into the sand. I was on top of him, my hands in his hair as his were in mine. He kissed my neck, my shoulders, my collarbone. I had to thank Nudge for this outfit, I guess. It made all his kisses easier. When I agreed to let her dress me, she was ecstatic. I ended up in tight skinny jeans, and a shirt that left my shoulders and collarbone bare, except for my invisible bra strap. I looked old in the outfit, but nice, I guessed, ‘cause when Iggy heard me come into the room, (I figured Angel “told” him what I looked like), he gasped. Fang beamed and lost his breath, and Gazzy blinked, open-mouthed, while Nudge smiled proudly of her work on me. But I didn’t regret the decision to let her dress me up because Fang seemed to like it.
He was kissing my neck, and my eyes rolled back a little, while my body went nearly limp. He smirked and then removed his lips from my neck to look at my face. If he knew how close I was to giving up for him, he would be surprised. This was all intensely good, and I knew how much better sex would be, but I wasn’t that kind of girl. At least, that was what I was trying to convince myself. When I had enough self-control, I took advantage of the fact that his lips were not against my neck, and I kissed him, sure this would drive away my thoughts of giving in. Kissing him on the lips was safer than him kissing my neck. I could control myself like this, right?
We kissed and he started to pull off my shirt, but I stopped him. “I’m not ready.” I said, looking him straight in his excited eyes.
“Okay. Sorry.” He said, smiling against my neck before he started kissing it again. He needed to stop this, or I was going to loose my virginity quick, something I did NOT want to do. So I started kissing his neck so he would stop kissing mines. Thankfully, he stopped, shuddering when my teeth grazed his earlobe. I was going to make him feel what I felt when he was doing this to me. He seemed to enjoy it, naturally.
I stopped and when I did, he started to go for my neck again, like a vampire going for blood, he looked hungry for me. I was so stunned by the intensity of his expression that I had to stop him or there was no going back. So I said, “Fang. We should go back. I can hardly see your face, it’s so dark.”
He looked reluctant, but smiled and said, “Yah, probably.” I was really happy we were a ‘we’.
I was thinking about our relationship. It was only like a year ago when I had NO extra feelings towards him, but when we were on the run, that’s when everything turned up. First was the near-death kiss on the beach, then the whole Red-Head-Wonder and Sam fiasco, when we couldn’t deny our feelings. Then he kissed me in the cave. Then the Valium, something I will NEVER use again, ‘cause I admitted my feelings under a drugged haze to him in front of my mother. That was something. Then Ms. Amazing. Her. I almost had to thank her, because if I was never jealous of them, I don’t think I would’ve been able to admit my longing for him. She made us a couple, though I hated to admit it. Fang and I were close to the house, and only the kitchen lights were on. When we got inside, we found the Flock and the Outsiders around a table, with 1 empty chair. There should’ve been 2, but when you speak of evil, it will appear, because Brigid Dwyer was sitting at the table, eating my mother’s home-made cookies.

I had passed out and when I came to again, Fang was there, in the bed next to me, smiling. Alive. I blinked. Maybe I was dreaming.
“Max.” He said, and that was all I needed to hear. He was alive. I could feel it.
“Fang?” I still had to make sure though.
“Yah, Max. I’m here. I’m okay.”
“What happened? I thought you… Me?” I didn’t know what I thought.
“Um, maybe your mom should tell you.” He said.
“Where is she?” I can’t imagine what she must’ve been going through.
“Knock, knock.” It was Amanda!
“What the hell do you want?” I spat.
“I saved both of your lives. Chill.” She said.
WHAAA???? “Excuse me?” I said, oh so chill.
“I saved your lives.” She must be crazy. She saved me. Sure.
“Explain that. You must be joking.” This girl was crazy.
“Okay, so I was listening to Jeb telling you about the whole expiration date thing, and then I heard Fang’s heart stop and heard you scream when you got shot.” WHAT?!?!?
“Sure, really. What happened?” I said. This chick was crazy! I turned towards Fang, and asked him again. “What happened?”
“She saved us, Max.” He said, smiling.
“Okay, Amanda? You wanna explain that to me?” Well, you don’t just get saved by random kids with wings everyday.
“First, I should tell you that I have super-hearing. I know, I know. So do you and the rest of the Flock, but my hearing is like yours, except multiplied 10 times, maybe. I heard you almost shout at Jeb when he told you about Fang’s expiration date and all, so I kind of listened in, seeing if you were planning on telling him or not. When I heard the gunshots, then his heart stop, I knew something was wrong. So I told everyone that could help that we needed to go find you and Fang. We found his body easily, and you, well, the gunshots lead the way. You were on the ground, your leg was bleeding, and your wing, and we flew you to your mom, same with Fang. I’m still not sure how Fang’s still alive, though. It was unbelievable.” She looked a little shocked, saying this. I wondered why? “Bye.” She said, turning around and then walked out of our room. I turned to Fang. “Where are we? This place is freaking me out.” I said, shuddering to exaggerate my feeling.
He smiled, his face softening. “Don’t worry, we’re as safe as can be. You mom has been here the whole time, too much. She should go home and sleep.” He cared. Cute.
“So, how long have we been here?” I really had no idea. It could’ve been an hour, or a day.
“We’ve been here for 3 day. You’ve been out since they brought you. I. Well, I’m not sure what happened with me. But I’m alive, that’s good, right?” He smirked. “Max.” His expression turned grave and he looked down. “How could you do that?” He said, his voice deep with pain and anger.
“Do what?” I was completely surprised by his question. He looked up at me, his eyes burning. I was frozen. His expression was way to demanding for me to look away.
“Pretty much throw your life away. How could you go back to those things because I was dead? Do you realize how bad that would’ve hurt everyone? Did you even THINK about it?” He was mad. “WHY would you do that.”
“I couldn’t see a life without you. I didn’t want a life without you? I… I don’t know. I’m so sorry. I wasn’t thinking, at all. You were dead, I wasn’t. That’s all that I had in my head. Nothing else.” I said.
“But suicide?” His voice cracked on the last, revealing how much pain this caused him. I thought about it, put myself in his shoes. It was horrible.
I didn’t know what to say to him. I was speechless. I’m never speechless.
“Max, you need to promise me, promise me, that you will never do anything stupid like this again. Never.” He said, eyes scorching. I couldn’t say a thing. My throat had a wad of clay in it. All I could do was a feeble head nod.
Then, my Mom came in. “Max! You’re awake! Oh my God!” She whispered, tears streaming silently down her cheeks and mine. She hugged me, and I hugged her back.
“Mom, I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry! I didn’t know what I was thinking!”
“It’s okay, Max, you’re okay. It’s okay.” She said, smoothing my hair. I broke down in her arms, crying. I couldn’t help it. This was hard stuff, and I couldn’t do this in front of anyone else except her and Fang. And I still had to face the Flock. After we talked, the Flock came in. I looked at each of their faces, smiling. It was good seeing them again.
“Hi.” I said.
“Hi.” Nudge mumbled. Iggy walked forward, not knocking anything down or walking into anything. He sat on the edge of my bed, and stared at me, in the eyes. His lips turned up at the sides slightly, smiling. “You look like crap.” He said. I laughed. Things were going to be fine. After a few minutes of talking to all of them, the Flock left, and I wanted to get out of here, or at least of this bed, out of these needles. They made me feel all test-probey.
I sat up and started pulling out needles, feeling a little better. Fang was doing the same. After I had all the things off of me, I went and sat on the bed next to him, placing my hand over his, staring into his eyes. I was becoming really sappy and emotional and stuff, but it was okay, it was for him. “You know, I am sorry. Like a lot?”
“Yah, you better be. If I would’ve woke up without you here, I don’t know what I would’ve done. Probably gone crazy, and take myself out, too.”
“No. You wouldn’t. You would’ve been smart and actually thought about the Flock, but you would’ve been hell to be around.” I said, smiling a tiny smile.
“Well, it’s done. Okay? This is done. I’m alive, you’re alive. That’s all that matters.” He said. It was true. We were together, his expiration date a thing of the past. Oh, that reminded me!
“Fang, why the HELL didn’t you tell me about your expiration date?” I demanded.
“Because I didn’t need you worrying about me. Didn’t wanna see you hurt over me anymore.”
“Well, news flash. It hurt a lot when Jeb was the one to tell me.”
“I’m sorry, okay? But I love you.”
“Yah, yah. You better. Cuz I love you too.” I said, smiling when I leaned in to kiss him.
We kissed, and it felt good, felt home. I needed him, as shown by my previous actions. After we broke apart, I leaned against him, and he smoothed my hair.
“Max, I love you. I know I’ve said it a lot, but wow. It’s deep.”
“I feel the same way. I never thought I was capable of feeling like this towards anyone. I thought the way I loved my Mom was the strongest love I could bear. Then you had to kiss me. What’s wrong with you, kissing me all the time?” I was teasing him, but what I said was true as can be.
We were out of the hospital in 20 minutes, on our way to another “safe-house”, the Flock, the girl that saved my life and her gang of winged children.

“What about me and Fang?” I asked. This was none of his business.
“He’s no good for you.” He said, not looking me in the eyes.
“That’s for me to decide, isn’t it?” I did NOT need his criticism.
“Well, yes, but…” He was hesitating. What was he hiding?
“What?” I spat.
“His expiration date is going to show up soon.” I started at him, the Voice taking its’ place coming out of Jeb’s mouth.
“Look at me!” I screamed. “What do you mean? Are you trying to tell me he’s gonna die?”
“Yes, Maximum.” He said, his voice back to normal.
“Get out. GET OUT!” I whispered, trying to keep quiet. He left, sulking. If he thought I didn’t like him before, he just ruined any possible chances. I was thinking about what he told me, trying not to hyperventilate. Fang couldn’t be dieing any time soon! It could NOT happen. I couldn’t live without him. He was my everything, though I know it sounds all girly and stuff, but it was true. I needed him. After a few minutes of freaking out over this, I tried to stay quiet in my bed, but sleep was eminent. I started crying. I mean, crying. I’d never cried this much since I saved my mother from Mr.Chu. This pain made that look like a paper cut. Fang couldn’t die. If he died, so would I. There would be no point to life, no reason to live. When my eyes didn’t have any tears left, I broke into tearless sobs, trying to pull myself together. I knew if any of the Flock came into my room, they’d freak. I didn’t need that right now.
Eventually, I stopped crying. The sky was turning a nice orangey-pink color. Sunrise. It didn’t make a difference if the Sun rose without Fang around to see it. So I needed to make time for us, just us. I walked out of my room and took a shower, combing my hair when I was out the shower. That was the least I could do for him. I went into the kitchen, and the Flock + some new kids were surrounding a table, eating. I sat down next to my Fang, kissing him on the lips in front of everyone. He looked at me suspicious but pleased. I tried hard to keep my composure up. “Fang, let’s go for a ride.” I said.
“Sure.” He said, standing up when I did. We flew to a cave and sat down. He pulled me into his lap and kissed me. I kissed him back, with everything I had. We rolled into the grass and he eventually ended on top of me, his body forcing no weight on mine. I started to pull off his shirt and then he pulled off mine. We were shirtless, and he was working at my pants, and guess what? I let him. I wanted this, right? I mean, who knew how long we’d be together. My pants were off, lying with our pile of clothes, and I started at his. We were so close to perpetual bliss, ugh why am I getting all sappy? that I almost forgot about the whole expiration date. Almost. We were about to have our underwear off and everything, when someone shot at us.
I turned to see a swarm of M-Geeks surrounding us, guns flaring. In about 3 seconds flat, I had my shirt on, my pants almost done, and so did Fang. At the same time, we jumped up our wings flopping like crazy. “Fang! Hang on to me as tight as you can!” I yelled towards him over the sounds of gunshots. His arms were tight against me and his wings had stopped flapping and suddenly all of his weight was bringing us down. I let my wings pick up his weight enough to give me a head start, and then we were soaring.
We were speeding through the air faster than I’d ever done on my own! It was amazing, and all the more better that we were away from the M-Geeks. After we flew about 6 miles away from them, I tried to bring us to the ground softly. We ended up rolling for a few yards, but it was a safe lading, for the most part. Much better than I thought it would be. “Fang? We landed.” Well duh. He didn’t move. I let go of him and his body lolled off of me and was limp. “Fang? FANG!” NO! He had to be okay. The expiration date hadn’t even shown up yet.
I shook him, with no response from the body of my love. I started to cry when I saw a date imprinted on his wrist. I kissed him, hugged him, and for nothing. I laid on top of his limp body, not knowing what to do now. There was no point to life without him. So I pulled his body to a spot the Flock could find, and I shot off towards the M-Geeks, ready for death. When I got there, they started shooting at me.
The last thing I remembered was a sharp pain in my leg, and then blackness. It felt good, the numbness of death. But then, I started breathing, and heard beeping noises, feeling many needles in me. I passed out again when I saw Fang in the bed next to me, looking at me with love-filled, live eyes.

He fell into step next to me and grabbed my hand. He only let go for take-off, but as soon as we found a safe spot and landed, he pulled me into his chest and I broke down. This was so embarrassing, I thought, as he smoothed my hair, pushing it away from my eyes. I wept in his arms for what felt like hours, but it was only about two minutes.
I stopped the water-works and looked up at his face. His eyes were full of confusion and concern. “What’s wrong?”
“I… I saw her again…” His eyes bulged for a fraction of a second.
“What did she say?” He asked.
“Something about the big picture, that I was gonna need her.” I said, trying to make sense of everything that had happened. I looked into his eyes. And they were hurt. It hurt him that I was scared. I needed him. The Voice was right. He did keep me balanced. Wow.
“Fang, I’m scared.” I had to be honest with him. He was the only person I could be this honest with.
“So am I.” He said. We looked into each other’s eyes for what seemed like years, sharing something deep on an emotional level. Now. I needed him now. I tilted my body against his and he pushed his lips against mine. He knew how much I needed him, wanted him, the same way I knew how he felt towards me. I wanted him so much, it was overwhelming. He was pulling down onto him as he lay back. And I knew this was right. We were meant to be. I know this is a lot of emotional crap, but it’s true. We fit together like clouds fit in the sky, and I loved him with every fiber of my being. Our bodies curved together, and it felt like ecstasy. I was lost in his neck when he said, “Max, maybe we should go back.”
“Why? I want to stay.” It was true.
“Yah, I do too, but the sun is about to come up and the Flock’s gonna bother us about this if we’re not there when they wake up.” He purposely left out the outsiders.
“Oh well, let them think what they want.” Why should we leave, I really didn’t want too?
“Well, when we get to D.C. we’ll go out.” Hmm, Fang? Me? Alone? I liked that idea.
“Okay. Let’s go.” I said, pulling him with me when I stood up. We let go of each other to take off. When we were in the air, he lowered his body to get very, very close to me. If our wing flaps weren’t in sync, we would’ve been tangled, falling to the ground. I wanted to try something, but wasn’t sure if it would work, so I let the idea float from my mind.
When we got back to the motel and found 5 Flock members and 3 others asleep. We went back to our rooms and woke up the Flock, then I left my room and went to wake up the others’. When I walked into their room, I was surprised to find them all up.
“We’re leaving in 4 minutes, meet us outside of my room.” I said, hiding my shock.
“Okay.” Luis said. I left their room and went back to mine to pack my stuff.
We were packed and ready to go in 3 minutes, and waiting outside our door was the rest of the Flock and Amanda, Sarah, and Luis, all of them ready to go.
“So, we’ll eat and fly.” I said. It was taking us way too long to get to D.C. and I needed to know why I was supposed to go there. “But, before we leave, I need to use a phone.”
We went to another diner and I found a pay phone. I dialed my mother’s cell phone number, I knew it by heart, and after 3 rings, she picked up. “Mom?” I asked, hoping to hear her voice.
“Max! Oh my gosh, Max, honey, are you alright?” She asked.
“Yah, we’re all fine. Mom, how’d you know about Mr.Chu?” This was important.
“Max. Well, first you have to understand that when I was young, I made a lot of mistakes.”
Where was she going with this? “Yah?” I asked, making sure it didn’t sound mean.
“Yes. When I was in college, I spent a couple of months with a scientist, and we traveled around a lot. By now I was already involved with your, er, birth. I was young and foolish, and he was nice. We were close friends, and one night, I accidentally told him about you, told him everything. About your powers, your purpose, everything. And he wanted you for himself. He was going to use you to better himself. After that night, I never spoke to him again, knowing he would use me to get to you.”
“Mom, what are you talking about?” She couldn’t be serious.
“Max, I am so sorry. I thought he was long gone. I haven’t heard of him in 14 years.”
“How did you know he was coming for us?” I was still in shock, but I needed to know this and I didn’t know how much longer I would be able to talk with my mom.
“Jeb knew. I’m not sure how, but he was right.” She was being totally honest with me.
“Okay, where are you guys?”
“Ella, Jeb and I are in D.C.” So that’s why I needed to go to D.C.
Maximum, it wasn’t important to know. The Voice chimed in.
Well, you could’ve told me. It’s not such a big tell to give me a little info now and then. My attempts at coaxing the Voice were feeble. It made a tsk, tsk, tsk noise.
Max, it was not important at the time.
It was important to ME. Of course, after that I didn’t get a reply.
“Mom, you are okay, though, right? I mean, you guys are okay, right? Ella?” I was worried about them.
“Of course, we’re fine.”
“Good. Listen, Mom, I have to go. I love you so much. I’ll call you when I can.”
“Okay, honey. I love you, too. Send the Flock my love and be careful.” My Mom, folks.
“Okay, Mom, I will. Bye.” I said, hanging up. I went to sit down at the table and ate. Fang was sitting next to me, and I could fell his eyes burning wholes in the side of my face.
“What?” I asked, feeling self-conscious. Why did I fell self-conscious? It’s just Fang.
“Nothing.”
“Fang, what is it?” I didn’t need any crap.
“Nothing, you’re just nice to look at.” He said, smirking.
“Thanks.” I mumbled.
“So, when we get to D.C., we should go out on a date or something.”
“Whaaa??” Why was he asking me this in front of everyone?
“We should go out on a date.” He said, exaggerating every word.
“Yah, fine.” I said, embarrassed to have everyone know my business. He smiled at me, the kind of smile that makes the Sun jealous.
And, yet again, he was mine.
I looked at everyone. Angel, The Gas Man, and Nudge were sitting in the circle booth with us. It could easily fit the whole Flock. Iggy was sitting with that Sarah girl, playing the getting-to-know-you game. Amanda and Luis were sitting across from each other, Luis making ga-ga eyes at her.
Everyone was here, safe. That was good. I waited to make sure everyone was finished eating, Angel being the last to finish, though Sarah had plenty more than her. When she was done, I said, “Okay, guys, time to go.” We had about 3 more hours of flying, and I wanted to be there before 9, so we needed to leave now.
We made it to D.C. at 8 and I called my Mom. After meeting up, we went to a “safe-house”. When we got there, the outsiders’ took their showers, and while the Flock was bathing, Fang and I went for a little flight.
We were sitting in a tree on the same branch.
“So, when you wanna go on our date?” He asked, smirking again.
“I don’t know, you tell me. You asked me, not the other way around.” I sneered.
“What’s wrong? You’re not mad at me for asking you for everyone to hear?” He said, keeping a straight face.
“No, what would give you THAT idea?” I said with heavy sarcasm.
“Oh, come on. It’s not so much a big deal. Are you embarrassed of me?” He said, straight faced again.
“Sure, let’s go with that.” I said, not wanting to tell him the real reason.
“You know, there’s no need to be embarrassed about us.” He said, tilting my head to look at his.
“I know.” I said, defeated by the truth in his statement. I kissed him, and I could tell by the shocked jolt in his lips that he was happy I was kissing him instead of the other way around. Well, kissing is kissing. We started falling out of the tree, but we both snapped our wings out the same time, still kissing. We stopped kissing to fly back. When we got there, he walked me to my room and said, “Night, Max. I love you. I really do.” Well, there goes Mr. Sensitive, talking about his feelings for me. It was nice to hear, all the same.
“I love you, too, Fang. Night, get the boys; in bed.”
“Sure.” He said, kissing me softly on the lips before walking away.
I showered and went to lie down. I was about to shut off the lights when someone opened my door. “Max?” Jeb.
“What?” I asked, not wanting to talk to him.
“We need to talk about you and Fang.” He said. Well, this was sure to be a fun conversation.

“Max, we should land.” Fang said. I hadn’t looked him in the eye since we left with these new kids and when I did now, I saw anger and confusion and longing in his eyes.
“Okay, sure.” I said, sure he would want to talk to me. I wasn’t sure I wanted to hear what he had to say. It was just about sunset, so we had to land far away from any public eye that would be able to see us. We were about one mile from anyone where we landed, and I told everyone we would eat and then fly a few more hours before we stopped for the night.
Max, you are almost there. Very good.
Why, hello Voice. Long time no hear. Thanks for that. Now that we’re close, would you mind telling me why DC?
Max, it is not important yet. When you can, call your mother.
Fine. I was really annoyed that the Voice would keep the reason for D.C. from me. I needed to know, but I knew I wasn’t going to find out any time soon. I looked at Fang and said, “Okay, the Voice still won’t tell me why D.C. but it said I need to call my mom.” I whispered it so only he could hear. His head nodded the slightest bit.
“D.C.? What’s in D.C.?” Amanda asked. How could she hear me? Nudge was closer to us then this weird girl and she couldn’t even hear me.
“If I need you to know, you will. Remember, you’re NOT apart of the Flock, so don’t worry about it.” I hope she saw that I was serious.
“Fine.” She said. We kept walking till we reached civilization and we ate. Now, this was weird. The Flock eats a lot, and I mean A LOT, but those new kids made us look like little kids! (No offense to Angel). We went to a diner and I had 4 servings of pancakes, each serving contained 3 pancakes the size of the huge plates they came on, with 6 sets of hash browns and eggs. Amanda had 6 servings of pancakes, 9 sets of hash browns and eggs, AND 6 pieces of toast. I was amazed. They left no crumbs, no trace of food left on their plates or juice in their cups. We left the diner, and flew for another 3 hours, landing in D.C. around 12. We found a little motel and rented only 3 rooms. I slept with the girls’, Fang with the guys’ and the outsiders’ all shared a room. I woke up around 3 and went to the bathroom to wash my face off.
I splashed cold water in my face a few times, and when I looked in the mirror. I almost screamed when I saw it. Eraser Max, again. I blinked a few times and touched my face, seeing a horrible paw scratching its’ furry face. “Why are you doing this to me?” I asked the evil thing in the mirror. “I told you before, Max. We are the same person. I will always be apart of you, till the day you die.”
“No, no. You’re not supposed to be here anymore. All the erasers are dead. You’re dead.” This reflection in the mirror couldn’t be real.
“Obviously not. You will need me one day.” It said.
“What do you mean?”
“It’s all apart of the big picture.” It said, its’ voice changing into the Voice.
“What the HELL?!?! The big picture?” I said, my voice hardly audible. I didn’t want to wake anyone up for this. The only person that could know of this was Fang. He was the only one that could handle it. After I said this, the Eraser’s face turned into mine, and Eraser Max was gone, hopefully forever. I decided to take a shower and the steam relaxed me a little bit. When I got out, I left our room and checked on the outsiders and then the boys’, making sure everyone was in their rooms. After I left the boys room, I heard the door open again, and Fang followed me as I walked outside.

AMANDA’S POV.
****I know JP doesn’t do different ppls POV very often, but I felt it to be necessary****

After I told Max we knew who they were, she wanted to see my wings. Well, I wasn’t gonna do it here in front of the whole world, so I told her we needed to move into the trees. She said, “Let’s see some wings!”
I let out an annoyed sigh, and took off my jacket. My wings shot out, and when I heard a deep intake of breath amongst the Flock, I smiled. My wings were pretty cool! They were made up of primary feathers, secondary feathers, and then some on the end, like little brushes. My primaries were deep purple, nearly luminescent in the right light. My secondary feathers were just white, but on top of my purple, well, they were pretty damn nice. The little ones on the end were like a silver. Weird. I didn’t know how they were these colors, but I didn’t mind them at all. My wings were amazing, but I’m not saying to sound all conceded and stuff. They just happened to look pretty, and when I saw Max’s eyes bulge a little, I almost broke out into spasms of laughter, but instead I just giggled, shaking them a little. They were about 13 feet across, pretty long. They looked longer than her wings looked from pictures I’d seen, but I couldn’t be sure.
Max said, “Okay. You can fly, good for you. How do I know you’re not a spy or a M-Geek or something?”
Time to put my powers to work. I searched through her subconscious, looking for memories that only someone that went to the School would know, but I needed hers because they were the only ones she would trust. I looked her in the eyes, not flinching when her non-chalant expression in her eyes turned to black suspicion. I took a deep breath and began telling her everything she knew.
“So, Jeb’s your dad. Wow, that sucks. I remember them talking about that the day they put me up against 2 Erasers. Umm, what else. Let’s see. Oh! There was that time you guys almost tore down a school in Virginia. Anything else you want to know? I could go on for a while.”
Her eyes bulged and then went back to a passive resistance to believe what I said. She was gonna have to get used to it.

MAX’S POV

I hate to say it, but her wings were really nice. They were purple, white, and silver. Weird colors, but nice. But she didn’t need to know that I liked them. I would keep it to myself. Then, she said, “So, Jeb’s your dad. Wow, that sucks. I remember them talking about that the day they put me up against 2 Erasers. Umm, what else. Let’s see. Oh! There was that time you guys almost tore down a school in Virginia. Anything else you want to know? I could go on for a while.”
My eyes bulged, and I was quick to fix that.
Max… I don’t know how she knows that. I… I can’t read her… Angel thought to me, feeling defeated.
It’s okay, honey. I thought. No need to feel sad or anything like that, it’s no biggy.
“How did you know that?” I asked, using my severest, no-funny-business tone of voice.
“Well, I used to be an experiment at the School, and when you guys came, you let out a bunch of experiments, and we were 3 of them. And when you’re there, the scientists aren’t smart enough to shut their mouths, so we heard things. They were always talking about you guys, so we figured if we found you, maybe we could join up or something. Not permanently, though. I know we’re not going to be apart of the Flock, that’s not what we want. We just thought being with you would help us a bit.” She seemed like she knew what she needed and had no problem sharing that with me.
“Okay, Amanda. You guys can come, but don’t expect anything. If we leave somewhere or take off, you have to be ready to go. We will not slow ourselves down to help you. You have to keep up with us. If you’re too slow, oh well.” She needed to understand that if they planning on following us. It was a vital key of survival. If you’re too slow, you’re done.
“Fine. We can do that. We’ve been doing that for a while now, always getting chased by those friggin’ Erasers, well, not lately, but I guess you guys knew about them being dead and stuff.”
“Well, come on. We’re leaving.” I said, letting my wings out. Ah, that felt better.
As I took off, I made sure not to look at Fang, afraid to see what his eyes would give away.

We walked out of the Days Inn, throwing our keys into a garbage can. We went into a nearby Denny’s and ate breakfast, eating enough to feed a family of 21. When we ordered our food, our waiter looked at us, surprised that we were ordering all that. I think it was even more surprising when we finished everything, not leaving one piece of food on any of our plates.
“Max, you’re shaking. What’s wrong?” Fang asked, his eyes serious. I hadn’t realized I was shaking, so when he asked me this, I was surprised! Wow. Well, when you live in a crate for a few years, being inside any closed area will tend to make your skin crawl. Me, claustrophobic? Nah… “I’m fine, I’m just don’t like this place. My skin’s crawling. Didn’t you know that?” I said to him.
“Yah, but you’re never this easy to show it.” He said. I guess Fang’s right. I’m a little off my guard, which NEVER happens to me. I decided we needed to leave, now. I was beginning to wonder why we were still sitting here, even though Mr. Chu was after us. We were about to run into the trees and take off, when someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around and found two girls. One was about my height, probably my age, her hair was dark brown with purple tips in it, and had a tan complexion with brownish gold eyes.
The other, behind her, was about Nudge’s height, but I think she was like 13 or so. She had dark hair too, but blacker than the other’s. Her bright, anxious filled eyes were green, and she looked nervous, though tried not to show it.
The first girl, the older looking one, said, “ We know who you are, and we want to go wherever you’re going.” She looked very sure of what she said, not flinching a bit, even though my glare would’ve made Iggy run. And he was blind. This girl had some guts.
Max, she’s telling the truth. They know who we were, about the School, everything. Angel must’ve been snooping around her head. That’s my little mind reader!
Angel, are you sure? They’re cool? I thought, knowing she was listening.
Yah, they seem fine.
Well, that wasn’t enough yet. “Okay, how are you two gonna come? You have wings?” I said, throwing them for a loop.
“It’s three, my, er, friend is in the bathroom, and yah. Wings.” The brave one said
“Okay, then. Let’s see them. And, your name?” If they knew who we were, then the next answer was vital.
“Amanda. That’s Sarah, and the one in the bathroom’s Luis. And, not here. Too public.” Well, good job, Amanda, I thought. Common sense is important to the Flock, which they were NOT apart of.
“Okay. Where’s your friend?” I said, anxious to leave.
“He should be coming now. I hear him.” Amanda said. How could she hear him? We had super hearing, and I didn’t hear him yet. Odd.
“Okay. Oh, is that him?” I asked, nodding my head towards the food place, now hearing his heartbeat, the only irregular one in there. She nodded her head. I looked at Fang and he looked passive. He was mad, I could tell, but he would be fine. Angel looked calm, just like Nudge and Gazzy. But Iggy. He looked nervous. What was up with him? I thought. Angel thought, “He’s curious about the other girl, Sarah. I told him what she looks like, and he tensed up.”
Well, there you have it. Now, Iggy likes an outsider. Perfect. Luis came out, and, after Amanda told him what happened, we walked deeper into the forest.

We glided into some trees and hid our wings. No need to attract unwanted attention. We found a McDonald’s and about 30 minutes, 21 burgers, 14 fries, and too many refills on our sodas, we left to find a motel.
It must’ve been around 12 or 1, because the sky was pitch black. Finally, we found a Days Inn. The clerk standing behind his desk looked at us and his expression turned skeptical. When I got up to his desk, I asked for three rooms. When Iggy and the Gas Man realized who would be staying in the third room, they erupted with laughter. The next look I gave them shut them up. I guess I’m just persuasive that way.
We walked to our rooms, and after we put everyone to bed, Fang and I went to our room together. As he took his shower, I sat on our bed, the only bed in the room. I was starting to panic a little. What did he expect of me? While I was psychoanalyzing the situation, Fang came out. And get this. He was shirtless. While I was staring, he shaked his head, his hair dripping. And he was mine. Then he said, “You taking a shower?”
I said, “Um… Yah. Be right back.”
I walked into the bathroom with my clothes and turned on the shower. I went in and let the steam relax my muscles. I was aching, and I wasn’t sure why. Maybe the flying.
After a ten-minute shower, I got out and dried off. In front of the mirror, I combed my knotted hair. When I looked up, I covered my face with a wad of towels. Eraser Max was back. I looked again, and she was gone, but seeing her brought back a wave of memories. Ari, Omega, Jeb, Mr. Chu. After I calmed myself enough to face Fang, I went back into our room, wide eyed and scared.
“Max, what’s wrong?” Fang said, his eyes full of worry.
“I… I saw Eraser Max again.” I said, sitting down next to him. He pulled me against his bare chest as I tried not to cry. This was serious. I thought all the Erasers had expired, taking Eraser Max with them. But I was wrong.
“Don’t worry. We’ll get through this, okay? I won’t let you turn into an Eraser. Never. I promise.” He said, and I relaxed a little bit, but not completely.
Then he tilted my head up towards his with a delicate finger, and kissed me. I was suddenly lost, my thoughts clear of anything unpleasant, filled with the sweetness of Fang’s breath. He pulled me on top of him as he laid back, and I knotted my fingers through his black hair. Wow, Fang was really good at this, I thought. He rolled me so he was lying on top of me, and I couldn’t feel any of his weight. This felt so right.
He started to take off my shirt and I struggled to help him, trying to keep my lips connected to his the whole time. It was hard, though. He whispered my name, and I shuddered delicately. He was amazing. We kept kissing, our tongues entwined, the only sound was our jagged breathing. We were totally oblivious to everything else around us.
After 5 or 10 minutes of this, we ended up under the covers in each other’s arms. “Fang, I love you.”
“Yah, I know. I love you more than you know.” He said, smiling. We kissed some more, and, eventually, fell asleep.
When I woke up, he was in the shower. I walked in and jumped in with him, making him jump. “What are you doing?” He asked.
“You want me to leave?” I asked feeling a little rejected.
“No.” He said, wrapping his arms around my naked body, “I was just curious.”
We showered and ended up in the bed again, a repeat of the night before.
“We should go eat. I’m starving.” I said, Fang’s lips on my neck as I attempted to dress myself.
“Yah, they might be wondering what we’re still doing in here. Any idea where my shirt is?” He asked, letting go of my body to find his clothes.
We got dressed and left our room, hand-in-hand to the boys’ room, knocked on their door hard, then to the girls’ room and did the same. In three minutes, the Flock was assembled. We had all our stuff and were ready to eat then leave.

Wha... What?" I was speechless.
"Max, you have to leave. Now. Mr.Chu is coming. Get the Flock and leave."
"I won't leave you. I can't."
"Please, go before he gets you. Jeb has a jet on its way here for me, him, and Ella. I'll call you when I can. Go."
I thought about what she said, and decided to listen to her. After all, she is my mother. She loves me, and I trust her. "Okay. I'll go, but you have to call me, tell me how you know this."
"I will. Now go, Max. I love you."
"I love you, too, Mom." I said, the lump in my throat making it come out in a choke. My vision was blurred as we hugged.
I left her room, rushing to the beach where the Flock were. They all got out of the water, probably because of my expression, whatever it was. "Start packing some stuff. We have to leave."
"Why?" Nudge asked as we walked to the rooms.
"Because we've been here too long." I said, not sure I should tell them.
Tell us what, Max?Angel thought to me.
Angel, please. Just listen to me. We need to go. I said, and thankfully, there was silence in my head. I needed to talk to Fang, but I didn't know where he was. As I threw random clothes into a bag, someone wrapped their arm around my waist. "Yo, Max. What's wrong?"
"Mr.Chu is coming for us. We need to leave. Now." I whispered, quiet enough so only he could hear me, even with our super-hearing.
"Okay. I'll get the guys ready." He said.
" 'Kay." I said, his arm slipping off my waist.
"Angel, honey, where's Total?"
"I'll get him." She said, leaving our room, her bag packed and already settled on her back. That's my girl.
"Nudge, you ready?"
"Yah."
I helped her get her bag on her back, and we walked into the hallway, meeting the boys in the hall. Angel trotted over to us, Total very close behind her, looking sad.
"Why do we have to leave? I want to stay with Akila."
"You can stay with her if you want to." I said. He could stay, if he really wanted to.
"Yah, but what would guys do without me?"
"Fine. Don't complain to me later, though. I won't want to hear it." He heard the bluntness in my voice, and sighed. "Okay guys. You ready? Let's get outside."
Max, fly towards DC.
Hi, Voice. Why DC?
I'll tell you when it's important.
I wasn't in the mood for its riddles. Well, it's important NOW. Why DC? Of course. No answer.
Okay. I was used to this.
We were outside, it was still light out, getting close to sunset.
"How long can you guys fly for?" We had to start now, but we would need to stop and eat.
"I think I'll be good for 4 hours, maybe." Angel said. 4 hours was enough. I would take any amount of time, just to get as much space between us and Mr.Chu as possible. "Okay, good enough. Let's go."
We flew up, and I have to say, we look pretty cool when we fly straight into the air.
Thankfully, we were far from the beach now, and far from Mr. Chu. The only thing that bothered me was my mother and Ella still back there, waiting for a jet.
As I was trying not to think about them, Fang came closer to me. Close enough that our wings touched.
"They're gonna be fine, Max. Relax." He knew me so well. I looked into his eyes, dark as night, and saw the raw love he had for me, and I let out a sigh. He was right, I needed to relax.
"We should stop soon, we've been flying for almost 5 hours. We need to rest and eat." I said, looking at Total, who was panting to keep up with us.
" 'Kay. Motel?" He said, looking down towards the city beneath us.
"McDonald's first." I said. Luckily, we still had some money.
"Okay. I think we should get 3 rooms."
"3?"
"1 for the girls', 1 for the boys', 1 for us." He said, giving me a smile that made my heart rate speed up, and made blood rush to my face.
"Okay." I said, not sure what to expect.

Fang let out a deep sigh, and stopped kissing me. I looked at the door, trying to find the person responsible for this, and it was... Oh, my god. Nudge!!
Nudge was standing in the doorway, still wet from the beach water, her mouth open as wide as I've ever seen it, shaped as an O.
"Oh My GOD!!" She nearly whispered.
"Umm. Nudge, we... I..." I didn't know what to say to her. What do you tell an 11 year old that just walked in on you and your boyfriend making out?
"It's okay. I'm just gonna leave." She said, giggling as she turned around and closed the door behind her.
I looked at Fang, laying underneath me. He looked like he was trying not to laugh. "This is NOT funny! Now the whole world's gonna know we were making out on your bed. Great."
"I don't mind. They were gonna see us do it sooner or later."
"I prefer later. Fang, what if we don't work?"
Max, you two will work.
Ah, Voice. Haven't heard from you in a while. How are you? I asked with fake concern.
Some things that you will encounter will seem strange, but they will help you in the long run. Fang, for instance, is going to be your center. He will keep you balanced. And you know you love him.]
What does that mean? I asked, and, of course, I didn't get a response. I looked at Fang, and I knew what the Voice was saying was true. He was my soulmate, and he was mine. No one else could have him. That's how it was gonna be. While I thought this over, Fang started into my eyes, as if he was searching for something.
"Fang."
"Yah?"
"I think I love you. Like, a lot. Is that a good thing?"
"Yah, it's a very good thing. Cuz I love you too. And I always have. Remember back in Virginia, when you thought I was dieing, so you kissed me? I thought a lot about why you would've done that. I used to think it's because you were afraid that if you didn't kiss me before I died, you'd be missing out. But, now I think it was because you knew that we were meant for each other. You know we are."
Wow. Fang was amazing. He knew how much I needed him, and knew that I wasn't ready to admit it. So he did. Could I ask for anything more?, I thought.
Total came trotting in, looking at us as if our position was normal, and said, "Max, your mom wants you."
"Is she okay?"
"Yah. She just said she needed to tell you something."
" 'Kay." I said, leaving Fang on his bed.
When I got to her room, she looked frightened. "Max. Listen to me. Get the Flock and leave. Mr.Chu knows where we are."

We floated down to the beach, hand in hand. Angel had the dolphin she was sitting on bring her to shore.
"Max, are you in love with Fang?" She asked, though she knew the answer. "I wanna hear you say it out loud."
"Yah, I'm in love with Fang." I said, knowing I couldn't deny something that everyone knew was true. I looked at him, having fun. "You love me? Huh??"
He smirked. "Maybe."
"Well, what if maybe isn't good enough?" I said.
"I hope it is."
"Well, I think it's amazing that you two are finally together. Listening to you guys think about each other all the time is annoying, though." Angel said. That's my little mind reader!
I walked towards a chair, with Fang's hand still in mine. He tugged against it, and I looked at him with a confused expression. "What's wrong?" I said, doing an automatic 360.
"Nothin'. I wanted to talk to you, in private." He said, making sure Angel could hear him.
" 'Kay." What did he need to say to me that he didn't want anyone else to hear? We walked away from the beach, and to the safe house behind us.
When we got inside, he walked me to the boys' room and sat on his bed, pulling me down on it with him.
"Did you really mean that?"
"Mean what?"
"Mean that you are in love with me?" He said, his eyes scorching.
"Well, yah."
"Yah, what?"
"Are you really gonna make me say it?" I asked, and he nodded. "Fine. Fang. I'm in love with you." I said, blushing.
"That's good," he said, tilting my head to face his with his finger. "Cuz I'm in love with you too." He said, and then he leaned in for a kiss.
I swear, I could do this all the time. It just made me happy. Made me feel wanted. I was pretty sure he wanted me. I decided I wanted to know if he did.
"Fang, do you want me?"
"What?" He said, lost in my neck.
"Do you want me?"
He moved his face to look at me. "What kind of question is that?"
"Do you want me? It's pretty simple."
"Yah. I guess I do." He said, going to my neck again.
"But, how much?"
He answered me by pulling me on top of him, as he laid back on his bed, and kissed me. This was different, but I liked it. He was kissing me, and I was kissing him back.
We were like this for a few minutes, the only noise was our messed up breathing patters, and the sound of our lips moving together. Then, the door opened, and we heard someone say "OH MY GOD!" but I kept kissing him, though his lips were starting to loose the adrenaline edge to them.

i woke to an expected scene no fang beside me but there was a plate of eggs and a note"max,going to the store.enjoy the eggs.love fang''i smiled at the note and ate the eggs,i smiled bigger thinking about how fun today is gonna be,and the door creaked open,i looked up,and smiled,there was fang holding a paper bag full of stuff,"hey baby"i wiggled around in my bed"hey sweetie"he gave me a warm smile,i giggled"i got some stuff for us"he said walking over and moving the bag under my bed taking out a camera"you wanna move my bed in now?"he asked"in a little while"i said taking the camera from him"lets take some pictures first"i smiled real big and ran to put the camera on my dresser,i set the timer thingy and ran back sat behind fang,wrapped my arms and legs around him and he put his arms

asked"because your in it"i giggled at what he said"what else did you get?"i asked i hope he got some stuff for us to use,i reached in the bag and pulled out  a handfull of condoms and a few bottles of lube"your a good shopper"i said kissing his neck again,he smilled"come on lets move your bed now,its not as dirty as mine.....yet"he smiled,it took about 15 minutes to moves the bed into my room and make both beds look like one big one,and now we were back to me on my back and fang atop of me, kissing me,his tongue slowly made its way into my mouth,i moaned into his mouth,one of his hand slowly

saw me and swallowed hard,my face got hot"what?"i asked putting my hands on my hips"you have a nice body"he kinda blushed and turned and grabbed the camera putting it in my backpack as i pulled on a swimsuit then jeans and a shirt"go get some swimming trunks"i told him as he sipped up the backpack,we walked into his old room and he changed while i grabbed a pocket knife and the laptop he loaded all the stuff up in the backpack and set off for our love nest.we had to stop and tell iggy he was in charge,he argued but lost the battle,and after that it only took about fifteen minutes to get there,when we got there i started running from fang and he started chasing me and this went on for about 5 minutes before i tripped and got a face full of dirt but i got right back up before he could catch up to me and i ran towards the water stripping off my  clothes  till i was in my bikini,i jumped as far as i could and landed in the water,he ran up and i giggled as he pulled out the camera and snapped a picture of me i motioned him in with my head and dived down and quickly came back up,he quickly pulled his swimming trunks out of the backpack stripped down and pulled them on i blushed catching a sight of his naked body he pulled on his trunks and jumped in after me.I laughed when he hit the water he went down then came back up fast he smiled at me,slowly i wrapped my arms around him and pulled him closer and our lips met,his tongue played along the seem of my lips and i opened my mouth letting him in,this water wasnt deep so we ddint have to kick to keep above the surface

together,i felt his newly formed erection slightly poke into me i moaned into his mouth as he laid me down on the sand kissing me passionately,slowly he unhooked the top of my swimsuit.he grabbed my breast softly and began to massage them i moaned as he pinched my nipple between the pads of his thumb and finger,he slowly began to kiss down my neck"I love you so much,Max"he said resting his head on my shoulder"fang..."i moaned out"i love you too,more than you would belief,more than i would belief"i moaned,his hand moved down my stomach,slowly slipping into the bottom half of my bikini"max..."fang breathed against my skin"tell me what you want,"he was still.i wiggled around and held his head to me"i want you,fang"i said"and anything you can do to me"he continued kissing down my body,his hand that hand been rubbing my clit was now pulling my last bit of cover away,he kissed down my stomach,i knew where he was heading,his tongue replased his lips as he licked over my pubic hair and clit ,his tongue made it to my  opening and staid there slowly moving up and down,in and out,as i moaned very loud,"max"he moaned"i can't wait anymore"he grabbed a condom out of the back

protection,it felt good,we moaned together,i brought our lips together as he thrusted into me,he kissed down my neck hungerly "fang"I moaned as i threw my head back,thrusting back into him synchronizing our thrusts,our sweaty skin slapping together making a loud noise in our nest"oh,my god max"he said still thrusting,i couldnt go on i reached my limit,i let my body relax and stopped thrusting up into fang,he winced and pulled out of me,he climbed off of me,i heard a snap and he threw the condom down beside my head,he crawled back on top of me and sat on my chest stroking himself,his head in my face"max open your mouth"he said and i did just in time for him to cover my face with his hot cum hardly any made it in my mouth,fang rolled off of me,grabbed a towel out of the backpack and handed it to me,i smiled as i whiped my face off,he lied down beside me,i yawned and rested my head on his chest,facing away from him,i ran my fingers over his abs,he ran his hand over my back i wasnt sure but i bet he was smiling,i rolled over and looked at fang yep smiling a fangish smile,i yawned again,he nodded and i lied my head down and fell asleep.

we got back when it was dark and the flock was asleep we walked in quietly and ave each other a kiss goodnight,and now i lay naked and awake in my bed crying into my pillow as i pumped my fingers in and out of me,a little area around me was soaked,i was thinking about what had happened between me and fang earlier,the door opened almost silently and i pulled the covers up a bit but didn't stop,fang poked his head in and saw me and let out a deep sigh and walked in locking the door behind him,i kept pumping my fingers in and out of me as he sat next to me,i let go of my covers and they dropped down off my bed,i looked at fang from the corner of my eye and he looked at me with concern"max?"he said looking me straight in the eye"are you okay?"he asked my fingers stopped and i leaned against him"now that your here i am"i said as he kissed my head,he grabbed my arm and sucked my fingers clean of any remaing juices i looked at him relizing just how much i loved him,i took a deep breath"fang?"i said looking him straight in the eye"i love you so much dont you ever leave me"i said as tears formed in my eyes and i smacked my lips against his,he shook his head and pulled away from me"no"he said i could see tears forming in his eyes"I'll go to far again"and he got up"I"m sorry"and he was gone,tears dripping off my chin i heard slams coming from the room next to me,that is fangs room,i wanted him back in here so badly i know he pretty much raped me today but i still loved him,and i wanted him inside of me again,i tossed and turned in my bed for a good hour and a half before i sat upright,i couldn't stand not having fang by me i pulled on some panties and a bra and stepped out of my room and lurked into fangs,he was asleep,i looked around and saw huge holes in the wall i looked at his hand they were bloody,i looked in his closet and found them a few pairs of hand cuffs im not sure why he had these but right now i was gonna put them to use slowly i cuffed him to his bed after his last cuff was on he woke up"max?!"he almost yell"what are you doing?"he said wide eyed my panties were soaked so i took them off and then my bra his eyes widened as he looked at my body.i smilled at him as i walked closer,i trailed my fingers along his chest and grabbed the top of his shirt,i ripped it all the way down slowly i unbuttened his pants and pulled them down past his knees revealing his erection,and i was a little curious,what did it taste like?,i took a deep breath and grabbed it,i stroked it up and down and herd him moan,i felt really hard,like a rock,and it was warm,slowly i licked the side of his cock,it tasted funny,but i made my way to the top of it there i just stroked him"fang?"i asked looking at his dick"this is your head right,i mean your other one"he nodded,slowly i took it into my mouth,it was throbing like crazy but i went all the way down chocked a bit and came back up and then back down his head started throbing like crazy"max,im gonna cum"and just then his sperm shot out of his head and down my throat i pulled up his dick coming out with a pop i cover my mouth with my had and swalloed hard i began to cough"its so bitter"i cried holding my throat"sorry"fang whispered watching me gag i got my throat cleared and crawled on fangi teased the head of his dick with my clit making both of us moan"dont tease me"he said moving his hips trying to slide into me i looked at him and moved up a bit as he slid into me a bit we both moaned slowly i slid down untill he was all the way in we moaned together as i began to grind my hips,slowly i reached up and unlocked his cuffs and he bolted upright wrapping his arm around me and thrusted into me hard i moaned loudly and syncronised my thrust with his"max im gonna....."i pressed my lips against his as his seed coated my insides,slowly he drew out of me as we both moaned out in relief i pulled on my cloths and laid next to him he turned towards me"why did you do that?"he asked looking me in the eyes"i had to"and i press my lips against his and drifted off to sleep.

tossing and turning fang herd a small wail coming from the end of the hall he got up and tip toed silently threw the house and came up to Max's door the sound was coming from in there slowly he opened the door,he looked in and max was ling there currled up with her pillow crying,slowly he walked in and closed the door behind him she was sleeping he walked closer to her,she had tears streaming down her cheeks,he leaned down and brushed some hair off of her forehead and kissed it,brushing her hair behind her head.
she stopped her wail and began to still"fang"max said,fang jumped and put up and got ready for a beat down from max,but she was still asleep her tears stopped and she was smiling she rolled over on her side away from fang as he watch her in cunfusion, slowly he tip toed away but max grabbed his arm again he held up his arm so max would kill him but she was still asleep,he jerked his arm but she stayed holding onto him he walked closer to her she was on top of her covers so he slowly very very slowly laid down beside her and put his arms underneith her shoulders,slowly he pulled her on top of him to were her back fit neatly with his front,he moved his arms down just benith her breasts and wrapped his arm snugly around her.

i woke up with 2 strong arms around me and i looked up to see none other than.fang.he was asleep,im not really sure how he got to where he is right now but im kinda glad he is there,i was having a really bad nightmare last night and it just stopped i dreampt i was at a grave and it was fangs grave, i was on my knees crying my eyes out, and a gun close by,but then all of a sudden i saw myself with fang his arms were around me and we were kissing.
i rolled over so i could look at fang and he awoke instently i was laying at his waist line and i let my wings strech out behind me"hey"i said"how was your night?"i said looking at him with a dead stare"good"he said giving me a fake smile"how exactly did you get here"i said showing him a fake look of fustration"you were crying in the night and i couldn't get to sleep so i came down here and you grabbed my arm and wouldn't let go so i just laid down"he explained"okay"i said giving him a smile"that's all i need to know"i grabbed his hand and looked him in the eye i gave him a smile he smiled back at me kinda i started to kick my feet in the air and,he smoothed my hair behind my head.
i laid my head down against his stomach"fang?"i asked"ya?"he answered"you wanna go back to our secret place today?"i asked him looking back up at him and smiling big"hmmmmmmmm i need to check my schedule"he said with a smile"duh"he said and we both laughed a little,slowly i leaned up and kissed him on the lips i pulled back"lets get everyone up first"i smiled at him he moves his thumb along my cheek  and we got up did our thing told iggy he is in charge till we got back  and flew off.
me and fang were just flying around before fang lowered beneith me and we flew straight up again and while flying near verticle he put his hand behind my head and kissed me.it was incredable! the flying kissing and just being with fang,but come on what fun would this be if i didn't mess with him a little.
i tucked in my wings and laughed like a crazy person waved at fang and dive bombed the ocean i got in a diving position and hit the water.
i screamed as loud as i could the water felt like i hit concrete and i think my arm is broken.fang shot down fast slowing himself down before he hit the water he swam up to me"not my best idea"i mused as fang examend my arm"its broken"he said feeling over my arm"we need to go back have  iggy set it"i frowned at him"you can do it cant you?"i asked him"i think but we need to get to dry land so i can make a sling or somthing"i looked around us our little hidey place was close by i swam down and made my way over to it my bad arm trailing behind me.i made my way onto the little beach i stood there while fang came up and shook out his wings fang felt my arm"o.k. this is gonna hurt a bit"he pulled on it and i herd a big pop and a tear got into my eye i bit my lip and shut my eyes and leaned against fang"now we need a sling"he said smoothing my hair behind my head.in the end we just ended up using my bra as a sling fang offered to help take it off for me but i just slapped him tho it was a good idea but i did have him help me take my shirt off then i went behind a big rock and made my sling.it was hard to put my shirt back on and i wasnt about to ask fang to do it for me but it was so hard to do and my arm hurt really bad i really didnt want to but"ummmmm... fang?"i said wish i hadn't"ya?"he answered"ummm can you help me get my shirt back on?"oh my god what was i doing?"uhh sure"i herd him walking over i covered my self best i could he came from behind the rock and looked at me,he was the only one i would ever trust to help me do this the arm i was covering with was the one holding my shirt i really didnt want to but i moved my arm and handed him my shirt he looked at my breast and i felt my cheeks heat up as if on fire i didnt really mind once i had shown him so  i said"oh just screw it" and i wrapped my ARM around his back and kissed him.
He dropped my shirt and wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me closer to him,slowly i moved my foot behind his and pushed him down,i smiled down at him and turned around to run, as he got up and i took off i turned around to see him chasing after me i was laughing like crazy he was smiling this went on for about 5 minutes before i got bored and laid in the sand,fang ran up and joined me he laid beside me and propped up on his elbow facing towards me"so what now?"he asked brushing some hair away from my face"i'm not sure i don't wanna leave yet i know that"and slowly he leend over and kissed me i raised my good arm and held the back of his neck and fell back he crawled on top of me and he kissed down the side of my face and down my neck and down my chest a bit,i really didn't like where this was going but it didnt matter,fang sucked on the top of my breast just above my nipple and he massaged the other and i began to moan,now i really didnt want him to stop,slowly he bit down on my nipple witch made me jump his lips curlled around my nipple and he began to suckle it,suddenly he stopped and flicked my nipple with his thumb"uh max?"he said not looking at me but looking at his thumb play with my nipple"ya?"i said looking down at him"max I LOVE YOU"his words coming out smooth and lovingly as his thumb played with my breast and just then everything went black i felt my head hit the sand and i herd him saying"max?,max?"he repeated it then nothing, i passed out in the middle of the most emotional thing he has ever said.SHOOT.

Fang let out a sigh getting off of max he got out the rag the was in his pocket just in case she broke his nose or somthing and went to wet it he folded it up,and placed it on max's head after he kissed it.
he hopped she wouldn't be out for to long but it didn't really matter they had told Iggy that they would be gone for a while they could stay the night here if they wanted,fang jumped on a rock that was standing out of the wated and sat there looking in the water,he saw some fish,quikly he threw both hands in the water and got two fish he jumped back to the little beach and started a fire with some wood that was lying aroundhe proped the two fish up with stick and walked over to rewet max's pad,and he did she didnt move he checked her pulse just to be safe.she was okay so he walked over to a big stone that looked alot like a chair so he sat in it  he sat there watching max to see if she woke he looked over at his fish one was on fire he jumped up and got them out of the fire he blew on the flaming one and bit into it,it was good he walked back over to max and waved the other fish around her face so she could smell it and hey it worked!slowly her eyes opened and she blank fast.

i looked up at the smoking fish fang was holding out to me i took it and bit into it it was good i looked up at fang who was walking over to a big chair rock that he would probably carve into next time we come here or in his free time but he sat down eating his fish.he didn't look at me it probably hurt him when i passed out when he told me he loves me,"how long i been out"i asked taking another bite of my fish"'bout and hour"he said throwing the bones of his fish in the water i cleaned mine and did the same,my arm would be better like tomarow it was already feeling better and i could move it a little bit ,and fang still wasn't looking at me and it was starting to make me mad,he said he loved me but know he wouldn't even look at me and right now wasn't the best time to tell him i was in love with him too,and i am.i love him so much.we told Iggy that we would be gone long so"fang?"i asked looking right at him"ya?"he still didnt look at me"you wanna stay the night here?"i asked as my face blushed"i guess it was getting dark out and fang hadn't even really looked at me since i woke up and it was pissing me off,and making me really sad.he has been playing with fish for a long time.it was really dark now and fang was lying in his chair to sleep oh well im tired ill get him back in the morning,i fell back and looked up threw the hole in the roof and started to go to sleep.


fang was still awake after max went to sleep,he was really sad that she passed out right after he told he that he loved her,until he herd the same moaning coming from max he looked over and she was crying again and he really wanted to know what she was dreaming but it didn't matter he sighed and got up.he walked over to max and lied down next to her wrapping his arm gently  around her just under her breast and she rolled over on top of him he smoothed her hair behind her head and laid his head back and went to sleep.
he really did love her.

i woke up again, in fangs arms i did not want to move 'cause he would let go of me again,so i just wrapped my arms around his waist and kept my eyes shut  his hand smoothed my hair behind my head,he was awake,"I know your awake max" i frowned and opened my eyes and looked at him"my arms feeling better"i said holding up my hurt arm and taking my bra off of it and throwing it down beside fang and me.his hand kept smoothing my hair i stretched my wings out and laid my head down on fangs chest.I thought about what i was about to do but he needed to know,i still did not have a shirt on so i felt kinda naked but still,i crawled up in his lap and he sat,and i thrusted my waist into his newly formed erection as i wrapped my arms under his arms the gripped onto his shoulders,my chest against his and my face in his ear his breaths were coming out in short pants"you know what?" i asked him as  big smile formed on my face"I love you too"his breaths stopped and i kept thrusting into him.I shifted to on side a bit and now my breast were hanging right in front of his face,slowly one of his hand moved up my side and he grabbed one of my breast and began to suck on my nipple,i moaned gripping the back of his neck urging him on,until he bit my nipple i sqeeled and pushed him but he did not let go of my nipple i kept trying to push him away from me i felt something come out of my nipple,if i am bleeding I'm gonna kill fang,but he just started gulping whatever was coming out of my nipple he was drinking it.his teeth let go of my nipple and his lips replaced them he kept gulping before i pulled back to see what he was doing,my nipple came out of his mouth with a pop and a white stream came from his mouth to my nipple i look as in dropped into my lap,my eyes wide"were you just drinking my milk?"i said holding my hands around his neck ready to strangle him"uh huh"he said"it taste good too"he said going in for more,his lips barely made it to my nipple before i pushed him back and smacked him across the face and pulled him back to my nipple,i felt my milk come out again,i moaned and rested my head on fang's head while i held the back of his neck i looked down at him,i could not help it i laughed out loud,smiling down at him i smoothed his hair behind his head,he looked up at me saw me smiling and stopped he lifted his head up at me and narrowed his eyes"what?"he asked looking curious i shook my head"it's just.....you look like a baby when u do that"my smile got bigger and he went right back to drinking from me slowly he wrapped his hands around my breast and laid back,i put my arms around his back and held him up i could not help it,i cracked up,he was acting like a baby,he was so cute,he looked like a baby and i was his mom,my smile went from one eye to the other,then i remembered about the rest of the flock Iggy was gonna be so pissed off.fang slowly stopped sucking on my nipple,slowly he pulled away from my breast and moved up till he was in front of my face,he looked as if he was thinking something over he moved closer to me"max.....I'm sorry"and he pressed his lips against mine.his hands were doing something around my waist,i felt my pant being tugged back and forth and the they were really loose,my eyes shot open and i looked down to see my pants undone and fangs down past his waist and his hardened cock was sticking out of his boxers,he wrapped one of his arms around me and used his other to pull my pants and panties down past my knees"I'm sorry max"he repeated and proded his erection against my entrance my eyes widened"no"i breathed out as he entered me"no!"i pushed him as hard as i could but he didnt stop he pulled back and thrusted into me again,it really really hurt too,i looked down and saw i was bleeding,tears formed in my eyes and began to run down my cheeks,he stopped thrusting into me,i was making weird noices as tears kept streaming down my cheeks,i was crying.He made me cry,im gonna kill him,but im gonna let him enjoy it while he could,but it still really hurt and i was still crying,he looked at me in shok"I'm sorry max' he almost yelled"stop crying"i looked at him threw my blurry eyes and he was going threw the same kind of stuff as me there was tears in his eyes but he was holding them back,he started thrusting into me again and it started to feel good,i began to moan as he thrusted into me harder and harder,i felt something coat my insides and he drew out of me,i looked down at his cock it was red and white so was my entrance.
he laid down beside me and i looked at him not saying anything i was still in alot of pain"its time to go back"i said regretfully he nodded and i got dressed as he pulled up his pants,and we took off.

fang leaned in,gently put one hand behind my neck and kissed me,i shut my eyes lost in the feeling i pulled back away from him and looked him in the eyes i saw more than there was before i gave him a smile and turned and zoomed off looking back making sure he was following me he was just a hair length away giving me a fangish smile.
I turned back to the direction i was flying and started going fast and faster he kept up"your not getting away this time"he mussed flying up right beside me by now,we were what 20 miles away from the rest of the flock i looked at fang gave him a big smile and tucked in my wings and dived straight into the water we were flying over i swam down a little and stood there breathing under water trying to get used to the feeling while i waited for fang.soon he splash into the water and swam up to me i gave him a little smile and swam off to some cliffs i saw a while back .
we are good swimmers so it took us about 5 minutes to reach where i wanted to be i swam to a big hole is the side of one looked back at fang and swam in.
inside of this little cave there was a shore and me and fang got out of the water, it was a nice cozy little big place about the size of a football stadium place i lied down looking up there was a big hole in the top of this place fang lied down beside me"it's nice here" I whispered to fang rolling onto my side looking at fang, he gave me one of his rare smiles that made me feel like we were just normal kids he rolled on his side looked me in the eye"we don't have to tell the others about this place do we?" he gave me a some what bigger grin and he got up onto his elbows i knew what he was saying and  smiled a little and pushed him onto his back and climbed on top of him i leaned down to where my mouth was in his ear"i wasn't planing on it"i whispered in a way that even i would call weird for me,i lifted back up and looked down at him a big grin on his face the biggest smile he's ever had and my heart squeezed as if clamps were on it.I smiled down at him and pinned his arms to the sand he was lying on and kissed him again letting my hair that was getting kinda long now droop over my head and onto his.
we stayed like that for what seemed to be hours but only about 5 minutes untill he flipped us over and pinned me down and kissed me.
slowly he let go of my arms and let them go completely and he held himself up with one hand and the other held then back of my neck i really felt like pushing him off of me for being so rough with me but i wrapped my arms under his arms and gripped on to his shoulders and kissed him back with everything i had.
something in me must have wanted fang really really bad because i lifted up my legs and wrapped them around his and pulled him closer to my body.
his hand that had been holding the back of my neck moved up to the back of my head and pulled my head up into his lip.his tongue played along the seem of my lips quikley i opened  my mouth and gave him entrance into it or mine into his. our tongues fought for domonance pushing and pulling in the middle of our mouths where our lips met i won of course and pushed his tongue back into his mouth as a smirk came onto my face.i massaged his tongue with mine and began moving my tounge around his mouth as his tongue slowly wrapped itself around mine.a smile curled his lips and he forced my tongue back into my mouth,his hand came off the back of my head and grabbed my legs holding them there then he proceeded to wrapping his other arm around my waist and he stood up,he let go of my legs and i held them there.
he moved his hands down under my ass to support me as i let go of his shoulder and moved one of my hands to carres one side of his face,the other arm laid on his shoulder and wrapped around the back of his neck and rested it on his other shoulder he pressed me against a close by rock wall  i move my hand and twisted it in his hair.
after a while of this all i felt drops of water on my head i ignored it for a second but more water dripped on my head and ran down my neck  me and fang looked up,it was raining outside i looked down at fang i leaned over and kissed his neck"it's time to go back"i whispered into his ear he nodded and kissed my neck.
he put me down and we were off we jumped straight up and snapped out or wings i was in front i flew straight towards the gaping hole in the roof of this place it was a small hole my wings wouldnt be able to fit threw t
here i stroked down hard and pulled in my wings straighting my body and making it strain threw the hole fang did the same i sat on the rim of this volcano like structure we were just inside running my hands threw my hair as fang shot threw the hole i grabbed his hand as he came out and pulled him over so he wouldn't almost fall threw the hole like i did the rain felt good kind i had salt water all over me and sand and the rain cleaned it off i looked at fang"ready?"i asked him looking him in the eyes"not really but if you are"he said i smiled at him"don't worry we'll be beck"i gave him one more kiss and stood up and leaped off the edge and unfurlled my wings and shot off fang was right behind me.
