Chapter One
I walked in to the kitchen and looked around. Someone was missing from the flock.
Let's see... Nudge, Gazzy, Iggy, Angel, Dylan...
Fang. I kept forgetting that he was gone forever. Jerk.
"Max?" Nudge said, "You look confused,"
"Just getting used to my Fang-less flock," I replied, narrowing my eyes at Dylan. It was his fault Fang left and he knew it.
"Max, my darling, I'm back!" said Gazzy in a perfect imitation of Fang's voice.
"Makes you miss the constipation song, huh?" Angel half-whispered.
"I think Max should be able to live without some annoying busybody who keeps getting in someone's way!" Dylan said.
The flock all gasped. No one talked to me like that. No. One.
"Who. Asked. You," I said slowly, "I'm slowing that down so your primitive, ape-ish brain can understand it! I don't care what you think. No one here does. And if you ever. EVER! Talk to me like that again you're going to regret it for the rest of your miserable, twisted life,"
"You don't scare me, Max," Dylan said a bit nervously I noticed happily.
"Nothing you say will hurt me,"
"Well, I should scare you. In fact, if I did, it would prove you're not as stupid as everyone thinks," I replied angrily.
The rest of the flock had run off into their bedrooms, by now and Dylan stepped closer.
"How can I be scared of the girl I love?" he asked softly.
Then as I was about to answer scathingly, he kissed me.
What the hell was I going to tell Fang?
