Fang POV

Fang sifted through his blog's reviews. The others were fast asleep. He had called to do first watch. He needed to work on his blog, and Max needed the rest anyways. She'd been pulling all-nighters for the past week. I was giving her a break because I'm just nice like that. She looked so peaceful in her sleep. She slept lightly, as usual, her muscles not quite relaxed. I'm not sure they ever did. She had a big enough burden as it was. Why'd she want to add 'Saving the World' to that list?

I resumed the comments. I scanned past all the 'I wanna be a bird kid' and 'will you date me?' reviews, in search of a better message. Suddenly, one caught my eye.

It could be a trap. But this girl seemed really in trouble.

Fang went to wake Max, but stopped. She looked so peaceful.

It could wait 'till morning.
