Hello,

It's been a while, but I've decide to re-write and edit my story. So many people are sending me messages asking me to update. Now I am, but the reason I'm editing it is because I can hardly stand reading it. But that's just my opinion. Anyways, I've changed a lot in the story. I've dimmed things down and cut so many characters. And there's no Voice in this story. I hope you enjoy it, though. Review if you'd like. Keep in mind, though, that my love of Maximum Ride has decreased.

Max POV

"Max," Fang called. I turned to look at him and was met with intense brown eyes.

I answered, "Yeah?"

"Can I talk to you?" The entire time he spoke to me, he never broke his gaze. It made me nervous.

I nodded at him and tapped Iggy on the hand. We made our way through the underbrush of our hide-out. I didn't want to go to far, just out of hearing range. I stopped beneath a tree. Straining my neck, I tried to see all the way to the top. (It was a very big tree). I was well aware of Fang behind me. He was standing so close that I could feel his breath on my neck. It gave me goosebumps.

"Max," he whispered. A shiver went up my spine. I turned around and took a step back. Things had been weird between me and Fang. I'd catch him staring or being closer than usual. Before, I wouldn't have minded, but lately being around Fang made me feel nervous. I wasn't sure if I like it. I didn't know the feeling. And it scared me.

A hand on my cheek broke me from my thoughts. It was rough and calloused, but felt warm. I left it there. I felt his gaze on me again. His eyes were deep brown. They saw through me.

His mouth opened to speak,"Max, I know this isn't the perfect moment. But you're my best friend and I have to tell you. I l-"

CRACK!

I jumped back as tree branch fell between us. Actually, it was more of a log. My guard flew up and I did a quick sweep of our surroundings. And we were surrounded. Erasers were everywhere. In the trees, in the bushes. In front of me. Behind me. I mentally hit myself for not noticing.

Fang groaned. My eyes snapped to him arm. The one that he used to touch my cheek. He was cradling to his chest. Blood seeped through his fingers. Shock registered as I realized his arm had been hit by the tree limb.

Hastily, I tried to run to him but something held me back. Fang stared at me with understanding eyes. I screamed as an Eraser hit him. I tried to run, but legs felt so weak. I watched as Fang's eyes rolled back and he dropped.

"Fang!"

I shot up in bed. Sweat drenched my body and my clothes stuck to my skin.

"Ew," I muttered as I walked to the bathroom. I flipped the switch to and the room lit up. Turning, I looked into the mirror. And screamed.

So what do you guys/girls think? Good or no good?

Review and let me know please. And yes, I know, it's very different.

Sorry it's so short.
