Max's POV: Chapter 1

I felt a light tap on my back and silently woke up with a start. I turned around and saw Fang staring at me with his emotionless face.

"Your watch," he said and I nodded. I had been way too tired to fight with Fang so let him have first watch when he insisted, much to his surprise.

I sat up and climbed to my feet, feeling a small headache coming on but ignoring it. I made my way over to the opening of the cave we were staying in. I watched out of the cave mouth as some birds flew past the moon into the trees.

I began to think of where we could stay next but came up with no ideas. I would have to consult with the Flock before deciding that, or at least Fang. I sighed, Fang. Ever since he kissed me I wasn't sure what I felt about him any more.

I stiffened, hearing someone stir behind me. Turning around I saw Fang shoot up and look over at me. He relaxed a bit and blushed as I smirked. He seemed to be staying up a lot while I was on watch.

Fang's POV:

I looked at my water proof digital watch and saw that it was time for Max to take watch. So I got up and walked over to her peaceful sleeping form. God she was so damn beautiful when she was sleeping. I tapped her on the shoulder and smirked as she woke up with a start and quickly erased it from my face before she could see it.

"Your watch," I said watching her get up and make her way to the cave entrance. I didn't feel like making me a place to sleep so I just laid down where she had been sleeping. I wasn't going to go asleep anyway. I couldn't go to sleep while Max was on watch for fear that some Flyboys or Erasers would come and kidnap her or worse, hurt or kill her.

She sighed and I shot up right and looked over at her wondering if she was hurt. But as soon as I saw her stiffen and her head turn I relaxed a little. I blushed as she smirked at me but wiped it off my face as quickly as it came and lay back down as if nothing had happened.

Then I heard a gasp and turned around making sure not to embarrass myself again but as soon as I saw Max down on her knees and clutching her head I knew she was having a brain attack. I jumped up and ran the whole 5 steps towards her and knelt by her side. I put my arm over her shoulders trying to comfort her, she shivered at my touch and I grew even more worried. I could tell this one was worse than all the others. "Max!" I shouted, and then she blacked out.
