Chapter 1: Waiting…
Max's POV
It had been six days since I had last seen my whole flock, and I was getting worried. I could tell Angel and Fang were missing them too, and Dylan only thought about me. I know I sound vain, but Dylan is actually that obsessed. I am Fang's girlfriend now, but Dylan won't give up. It isn't his fault though. The crazy, twisted, nut job scientists who tortured my flock and me created him to be my perfect other half and made him love me. I may have had feelings for him when Fang left me a couple years back, but when he came back I soon realized that Fang was really my perfect other half. Now I am stuck pacing between them while we wait for Iggy, Nudge, and Gazzy to come find us.
Suddenly my frustration overtook me and I yelled," I hate just sitting here like idiots with nothing better to do!" Angel looked at me sadly, and I instantly felt guilty. I walked over and sat down beside her. Putting an arm around her, I pulled her close and thought," I am sorry." "It's okay", she responded with her mind. Glancing around I saw Fang leaning against a tree, staring out over the charred tree tops. (AN: Burnt from the explosion...Reread the end of Nevermore if you are suffering maxmemory loss) Gosh, he looked so hot right there. With his long black hair falling just over his heart-stopping black eyes, he made my heart race. Angel giggled beside me, obviously reading my mind. I glared at her, and then smiled when she looked at me with her big blue eyes alight with laughter.
After a few more minutes, I saw the sun setting and asked Dylan to get some wood for the fire while Fang and I went looking for food. Angel stayed at the campsite just in case the others showed up looking for us. Taking Fang's hand in mine we went into the woods and returned soon with some berries and a rabbit. I know you are all thinking," Eeew!" But when you need to eat to survive you have to eat what you can get. Dylan already had the fire started so Fang prepared the rabbit and began to cook it over the fire with the only pan we could salvage from the rubble that was once a glorious treetop home to my flock and me. (AN: Again, thank the explosion, or not if you are Max)
While Angel and I munched on the berries, I felt someone staring at me. Whipping around, I saw another Ari clone emerging from the bushes. "How are you doing sis?" he sneered. "Well I was busy being bored, but since you're here I guess I'll get busy whupping your butt!"
"Ahhhh. Just like I remember you", Ari said, with an evil grin," Always wanting some action. Well you got your action Max. The wait is over."
