The flock looks so peaceful and carefree when they were asleep. We had flown for 10 hours today and the flock didn't even argued when I told them it was bed time. They were so innocent. They didn't deserve this life.

"Max?"

I jumped off the log and spun around into my fighting stance. "Shit fang don't do that" I said as I relaxed my stance.

He gave me on of those what-did-I-do looks. (I knew fang so well that I could read him like a book.)

"You know I hate it when you just appear out of know where and scare the shit out of me."

He just gave me a you-really-are-mental looks.

I just sighed. "What's up fang?"

"Can we talk?" he asked so quietly I barely heard him.

"Yeah sure" I replied without even moving.

"In private" he said while turning around and taking off into the night sky. It took me a moment to get my thought straight before I took off after him.

We flew in silence side by side giving me time to think. What on earth would he want to talk to me in private about? Talk? That was so unfang like! I looked over at him. God he was sexy with his thick black hair in front of his brown eyes and his midnight black wings… NO BAD MAX I mentally slapped myself. He's like your brother. He's your best friend, second in command. He only thinks of you as a friend anyway.

Then suddenly Fang swooped down into the forest with no warning and landed on the highest branch of the nearest tree.

I followed him without a thought and landed next to him on the branch.

We sat there in silence for what felt like ages before I couldn't stand it any longer.

"Look Fang you wanted to talk so speak" I said in the nicest tone I could handle.

Fang turned and faced me. I looked into his. I saw something in his eyes I've never seen before. He looked worried.

The next thing I new he leaned in and kissed me and before I knew what I was doing I was kissing him back. He slipped his hands on my waist and pulled me closer making the kiss more passionate. In response I put one hand around his neck and the other in his hair.

We stayed like that for what felt forever before Fang pulled away.

"Max I love" I was stunned. Lost for words. Fang loves me. He feels the same way about me as I feel about him.

"I love you to Fang" and before I had time to think I kissed him again more passionately then before.

Fangs response startled me. He ran his tongue across my bottom lip asking permission to deepen the kiss even further. I opened my mouth slightly but that was enough. Fangs tongue traced my mouth almost teasingly.

"MAX!!!!" we broke apart at the sound of my name. It was Iggy.

The sun was up now we have been gone for hours.

"MAX!!! MAX!!!" he sounded scared. We had to get back. What if it's an eraser attack…
