Guten Tag!! Morningrain here^.-

This is my very first fanfic that I am doing on my own, I did do one with therandomflockmember a.k.a Bloodfang… but that doesn't really count… does it? This will be a great story for the peoples who like ones that actually get finished, because I will never, I repeat never, leave this story sitting… well on one condition, if I get reviews after each chapter update of each updated chapter. Is that too much to ask?

Disclaimer: I do not, will never, and have never owned Maximum Ride or any of its characters or original plot, I do however own this plot and enjoy manipulating the characters to my every will :]

Max's POV

Rain fell from the sky and clattered noisily on the old wood roof in an endless drizzle. The trees shuttered and groaned in the strong breeze and the house creaked in complaint sending avalanches of dust raining down upon the flock who were huddled together on the two couches in the middle of the "rented" cabin, well all except Nudge.

"Max, Max, Max can we play Trouble!? I found it in the closet and it was covered in dust. I love this game and the colors but I wish there were more color options. Who decided it was the ones anyways? Do you think they were the person's boss's favorite ones-"she went on until a faint clap was heard as Iggy pressed his hand over Nudge's mouth to stop the flow of words.

I tore my gaze from the small window next to the wall were I was leaning and Fang's own gaze caught my attention. He was watching me with something deep in his emotionless eyes, only I could see it there.

I simply could not take the risk. The flock will never be broken up again, especially not because of Fang and me. I kept telling myself this but my heart wasn't buying it. I hoped fervently that Fang didn't hear it fluttering as his eyes were on me.

"Maaaaaaaaaaax please please?" Angel's voice broke through my thoughts. For a second I was curious what exactly she was pleading me to do, and then I remembered the game.

"Ok sweetie, let's set it up on the table in between the couches, who's all up for a game of Trouble?" I said walking over to join Angel on the one couch. The only response I got was two very enthusiastic "YA!" and a grunt, and being the ever so diplomatic me I said "alright, Trouble it is, anyone has an objection deal with it."

We set up the bored, blowing dust off so we could see were everything went, and each flock member picked out there color, with Gazzy and Iggy as a team. I waited till the end to pick my own color and got yellow, which was missing a corner out of some of the pieces. Ya, I know aren't I so nice to let everyone pick first? That's me, nice considerate Max. I hope you heard the sarcasm.

As we played the wind picked up and the sun must of sank below the horizon for now I couldn't even make out the outlines of the pine branch that kept clawing the window across from me, except for when another bolt of lightning lit up the sky.

"HahAhHAhAhh! I KILLED you Angel!"Gazzy's voice echoed off of the small cabin's walls. He was getting a little too much into the game.

"You don't kill people in Trouble Gazzy" I said then something caught my eye and I turned to see Fang's hand tight in a fist. I looked up into his eyes and I saw his staring intently at the Gasman.

"My own brother killed me..." Angel's sweet little eyes widened in mock disbelief but I barely noticed for Fang's unemotional eyes suddenly became filled with…no… tears? Then he was up on his feet and out the door in no time flat.

We all stared in silence as the wind banged the door open against the wall then shut it.

Open.

Closed.

Open…

No one moved to close it.
