Max's POV

There was only two words I could think of right now and they were screaming at me.

"Why me? Why me?" I repeated over and over in my head. My eyes where pulled down to where the positive pragnancy test lay in my lap. I made up my mind right then and there... I can not tell Fang. I don't know why but I couldn't. Never ever. None of the flock could know about this. Which means there is only one possibility.

I have to leave the flock.


Everyone was sleeping. It was dark out and eveyone was curled up close together around the fire. Except Fang. God I love Fang so much. He was on first watch, sitting in the shadows just out of the light from the fire. I sat in the shadows a little away from him staying awake waiting for the right time. Or my watch. Fang had insisted That I should not take first watch since I threw up while flying a while ago. I couldn't say no, Fang was so Concerned he didn't let me.

I stood up and walked over to Fang. He smiled at me when he saw me walk over. I smiled a small smile back at him and sat down beside him. I stared at Fang 's face wondering if it would be the last time I was ever going to see him again.

It doesn't have to be that way. I told myself.

But it can't be that way. My other side screamed at me.

I broke out of my thoughts to look back at Fang. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and kissed my forehead. I smiled a bit brighter and snuggled into Fang a bit more laying my head on his shoulder.

"Why aren't you asleep, baby?" Fang asked me concerned.

"I wasn't tired," I mumbled.

"You should sleep though," Fabg said Wrapping his arms around me and kissing my forehead again.

Slowly, I drifted to sleep in Fang's arms.


"Max?" some one asked.

"Iggy, let her sleep," I heard Fang say. "She needs sleep. I'll take last watch."

I could still feel Fangs arms around me. I blinked and saw Iggy standing over near Fang and I.

"Okay," Iggy said before walking away.

"Fang I can take it, go to sleep," I said sleepily.

"Okay... are you sure?

"Yes Fang," I replied. I stood up and smiled down at Fang. "Don't worry about me."

He frowned and looked at me before laying down. But he kept watching me. I smiled reasuringly at him to calm him down.

Suddenly, I had a terrible feeling in my stomach. I ran over to a bush and started puking up my guts. Fang was at my side in a second, pushing my hair back behind my ears.

When I was done puking I went and sat down by a tree and leaned against it.

"Max, are you sure? I could take first watch," Fang insisted. I shook my head no and watched him as he went and laid down.

When I was sure he was asleep, I quietly snuck away from the camp and out of sight.

"Now or Never," I whispeared to myself before untucking my wings and flying into the dark night, Until the glowing Fire was out of sight.
