Chapter 1

Fang landed on the ground with grace and sighed remembering what had made him run away. The image of Max and Dylan kissing was burned into his mind. The pain it caused him had surprised everyone including him. The fact that no one had tried to stop him when he ran only made the pain that much worse. He had seriously thought they had cared about him, he had seriously thought that Max had loved him. Now here he was walking the empty streets alone trying to control the emotions he couldn't hide.

Lost in thought, he just wandered without knowing where he was or where he was going. Fang felt a looming presence and began to turn to see who it was. A rough hand clasped around his neck and a cloth was put over his mouth. He struggled against the strong grip frantic to get free. A wave of dizziness overcame him and he went slack in the arms of his captor. His vision blurred and he was released from the grasp, falling to the ground and looking up at the person.

Dylan.

Fang awoke and opened his eyes ready to kill Dylan. But when he took a look around he saw he was lying in a bed alone in a room he didn't know. His shirt was missing leaving him in only his pants. He tired to sit up only to discover he couldn't move his arms. He looked to see why and saw that around his wrists were steel handcuffs. One end locked on his wrist and the other locked on the head bored of the bed, both wrists were this way. He pulled at them but they were strong and didn't budge.

He turned his head at the sound of the door opening. Dylan walked in, noticing Fang was awake he smiled evilly. He walked around the bed and reached under it searching for something. He came back up with a triumphant smile. In his hand was a crow bar. Fang looked from the crow bar to Dylan wondering what he was thinking. He again tried to break the handcuffs but got nowhere. Dylan laughed seeing him try to get away. "Oh Fang, don't leave yet. We haven't even started." Dylan purred. Fang didn't get the chance to ask him what he meant. Dylan lifted the crow bar over his head and brought it down with as much force as he could on Fang's ribcage. Fang couldn't help it as he cried out. A blinding pain shooting through him. Dylan hit him again in the same spot and once again Fang cried out. He was hit a third and fourth time. He pulled on the handcuffs with as much strength as he could. He didn't see it when Dylan lifted the crow bar over his head and aimed for his arm. Fang screamed as Dylan hit him in the arm breaking the bone. Dylan laughed and hit him twice more on the arm breaking it in different places. He then went back to his ribcage hitting it at an angle and breaking skin. Fang felt warm wetness run down his side. He took one last look at Dylan before he was hit hard in the head. Blissful nothingness surrounded him.

He became dimly aware that someone was shouting his name and shaking him but he couldn't respond. Fang tried shut out the annoying voice and fall asleep again but he was beginning to feel burning pain all over. He heard other voices and tried to make out what they were saying, "I don't know Max. Just keep trying to wake him up." Hearing the voice made his heart speed up with anger. Dylan was acting as if he had no idea what had happened. He tried with all his strength to open his eyes. He blinked a couple of times trying to clear his vision. When he focused he saw Max looking at him with a look of panic. "Fang! What happened? Are you ok? Can you hear me?" He felt someone touch his side and he whimpered. Pressure was applied to the gash on his side and he gasped. Jeb looked up at Fang's face seeing he was in pain. "I'm sorry Fang. I don't mean to hurt you but I need to try to stop the bleeding." Fang felt tears sting his eyes and tried to stop them before they fell. He felt one run down his face. Max wiped it away saying soothing things to him.

Jeb did his best to stop the bleeding and cover the wound before he questioned Fang. "Fang, what happened?" He gave him a serious look. Fang concentrated on making his voice work. "D-…" Dylan gave him a warning look. "I- I don't know." He lied. Jeb looked at him worriedly. He was losing his grip on consciousness. He slipped back into the darkness.

When he woke up he felt dim pain. Opening his eyes he saw he was in his room. He tried to sit up but only got about an inch and fell back down. He groaned and took a deep breath. He winced as his broken rips protested his breathing. Max walked in and saw he was awake. She came and sat next to his bed. "I'm really sorry for kissing Dylan. Please forgive me." He looked at her face and saw guilt in her eyes. "I forgive you." She smiled relieved. "Are you ok? Do you remember what happened?" He thought about telling her the truth. "I'm ok. I can't remember anything from after I left the house." Max nodded. She gave him a kiss and left the room. Fang lay in the bed thinking about what might happen if he told.

1 MONTH LATER

Fang limped down the hall. His side and arm still hurt but he was able to move now. He was still telling everyone that he didn't remember who had hurt him or what exactly had happened. Every time Dylan looked at him he had this evil I own you look that made Fang both angry and a little scared.

Fang sat on the couch next to Nudge. She smiled at him "How are you today Fang?" She asked. "I'm better. Thanks." He answered quietly. He started thinking about what had happened and suddenly remembered that Angel might be listening to his thoughts. He looked at her and saw her eyes widen. Dylan walked in the room and Angel glared at him. "It was you. You hurt Fang." All eyes in the room went to her.
