Book one. At the beach.

Waking up surrounded by erasers is not one of the best experiences, specially if one of them is disgusting weirdo Ari

I looked over at Angel who was hovering above us.

"How many?" I mouthed at her.

She looked quite scared, which basically means too many.

I focused my attention on Ari who had Max pinned down with his boot, could I take Ari on my own? Ari was bigger and stronger than me, and you'd be stupid if you are not scared of him. But none of this mattered because I couldn't take anymore the chasing.

I was thinking the best way to get him of Max, when he said it, he had being saying pretty disgusting things that have just kept building up my anger, when he said "I like 'em feisty" and then I just launched myself at him only thinking of hurting him, and hurting him a lot.

I started punching and kicking as best as I could, but god he was strong, it was like punching a wall. The only advantage I had was that he was heavy, slower than me, but his blows were ten times mine. He went to grab me, I moved to the side, but not fast enough and his claws raked my face leaving a burning sensation.

We kept fighting but when I though I had managed to give him a good kick, he turned and I felt as if I had been hit with a bag of bricks, my knees gave in, I barely registered when something took my head and smashed it against a rock and I though my skull might crack open like a watermelon.

I was nearly unconscious when I heard the shouts, until then, I had been so immersed in the fight that I hadn't see our surroundings or heard the hundreds of erasers around us. But Max's desperate screams went straight to my brain.

"Stop it! Fang! Leave him alone!"

Max.

I opened my eyes in time to see Ari reaching down to me; I grabbed a handful of sand and threw it straight at his eyes, buying me some seconds to get up. I kicked him with as much strength as I could manage, which wasn't enough by far, as he absorbed the blow and elbowed me in the face.

I fell down, I though it was the end, I could barely think and then I fainted.

When I woke up, I only knew I wasn't dead because my whole body hurt, my head felt like my brain had melted and my skull like a puzzle someone had badly glued together.

I heard movement around me but I couldn't move to save my life, suddenly I felt fingers touching my neck, almost in a caress but checking every bone.

"Fang, you have to wake up" said Max, and the desperation in her voice was staggering but I couldn't even open my eyes. I felt Iggy checking all my bruises, while Max put my head on her lap slowly, as if I were going to fall to pieces. Which I probably was.

I couldn't really follow the conversation but then a word made sense in the haziness and I was able to choke.

"No hospi'l" My lower lip felt huge, I was sure it was split.

"Fang! How bad?" Max asked full of worry.

"Pre-y bad" I felt something moving loosely around my mouth, not a tooth please, I moved to the side and spitted it in my hand. I looked at it. "Tooth"

I looked around and I realized that my brain must have really melted because I was seeing double, I touched the back of my head, and got dizzy in the process "Feel like crap" I commented in case they hadn't noticed.

Max said something I saw her doing whisker motions on her face, I made a mental note over my skull cracking headache of being a jerk next time she got hurt.

I check the rest of my teeth with my tongue, they hurt and some of them felt loose, but I didn't think I would be eating soup for the rest of my life.

And then, her voice cracked on my name, I looked over at her, but I didn't understand her expression, everything seemed blurry.

Soft lips touched my cracked and dried with blood ones for a second, and I didn't realise she had kissed me until she pulled away, with such an amazed look on her face that I would have laughed If I hadn't been trying to decipher what have just happened myself.

Typical Max doing something like this when I couldn't even hold myself upright, let alone think about what have just happened.

I felt embarrassed lying on her lap, and tried to put myself upright. I had been so concentrated in the pain in my head that I hadn't noticed that every single move was pure torture. I could barely breath, I wave of dizziness hit me and I had to put both hands on the sand to stay upright.

A blurry Angel came offering me something, I wanted to take it but I was afraid of reaching for it and missing, the others would worry too much, then she casually took my hand and gave me a glass, what an a amazing 6 year old she is. I rinsed my mouth carefully, not wanting to loose any more teeth but when I spit, I had a moment of great clarity.

"I'm going to kill Ari"
