Heyo guys! This is my first fanfic...hope y'all like it! :-)

Tell you what, Sweetie. If in twenty years we haven't expired yet, and the world is still more or less in one piece, I'll meet you at the top of that cliff where we first met the hawks and learned to fly with them. You know the one. Twenty years from today, if I'm alive, I'll be there, waiting for you. You can bet on it.

Good-bye, my love.

Fang

P.S. Tell everyone I sure will miss them.

Max's pov...

I stare at the note in my hand. My eyes skim over the words for the thousandth time. If in twenty years we haven't expired yet... my heart does a funny little flutter every time I read that.

Tomorrow will be twenty years since he left. I still don't know if I'm going.

Angel, my baby, (who isn't a baby at all anymore) walks into my room and stares. I have a feeling I know what's coming. "What do you mean you don't know if you're going or not?" She puts her hands on her hips.

I lay the letter down and stand up from the bed that I was sitting on. "I've told you not to read my mind Angel." I say, attempting to scold her. I walk over to the window and stare out over the Arizona red ground.

We've stayed with my mom for a while now. I realized the twenty years were almost up and something inside me went a little crazy. I want to see Fang so bad, but what if he's changed and he's not like my Fang? What if he's a different person entirely?Thethought
/makes my stomach knot up.

"You know I wouldn't listen." She comes over and stands beside me. "You know, Fang probably hasn't changed that much. I mean, He's Fang." She laughs a little, her blue eyes sparkling. "He's probably still his dark brooding self."

"You think so?" I try not to get my hopes up but Angel nods.

"Of course he's still the same!" Nudge exclaims. "Why would he have changed? I mean yeah it's been twenty years but so? You have to go Max and if you don't go, we'll go."

I hear Gazzy and Iggy agree. Of course they were listening.

I look at each one of them. My flock. All grown up.

My doubts still come at me. "What if he expired?" I say in a small voice. Angel rolls her eyes at me.

"Max you'd feel it if he died."

"How can you be so sure?"

"I just know. Now come on! I don't know about you but I'm ready to see Fang." She walks out the door, the flock following.

My heart skips a beat. I'll see him in a few hours if he's there.

I untuck my wings and feel myself relax.

Angel comes back in. "Come on." She waves me over to her.

I come out the room and follow her,the rest of the flock following. She opens the front door and walks out, spreading her wings. She takes a running start then jumps, pushing down hard with her powerful wings she goes higher and Gazzy follows her.

Nudge goes next, then Iggy. They turn around and look at me expectantly. I sigh. No getting out of this... even if I wanted to. I run and spread my wings out. I jump and beat down gaining altitude till I'm above my flock. "We ready?"

Each head nods.

Well, I guess we're going to see Fang.

Sorry this chapter was so short. The next will be better.
