Chapter 1- Fax
"Max? Can I ask you something?" Fang asked, breaking the peaceful silence that surrounded us.
"Mmm," I sighed, rolling over to face him. I opened my eyes to see his dark ones looking back at me. His face was very serious, even more so then usual.
"Why did you choose me over Dylan? They said he was made for you, and even after I left, you still waited for me. I want to know why," he said, bringing his hand up and running it through my hair. I wriggled so that I was closer to him.
"I chose you because I love you. Dylan may have been made for me, but I was made for you. I waited for you because you promised me you would come back. That's what kept me going, that's what kept me from falling into Dylan's traps," I said, pulling my hand up, and placing it gentlely on his face. "Why do you ask?"
"I wanted to know. That boy is still trying to get you to leave me and go elope with him. I was wondering why you would ignore that attention, and settle with me, who left you, practically throwing you away. I don't see how you can love me," he said, shaking his head in disgust at himself.
"Stop," I ordered, grabbing his face. "Don't doubt how much I love you. You are the only one I love, the only one I ever loved."
"I love you," he whispered, wrapping his arms around my waist, pulling me even closer. I rested my head on his chest.
"Good, 'cause I would like to have a boyfriend who loves me," I said, hugging him tighter. I took a deep breath, taking in his scent. "I love you too."
I felt his lips press against the top of my head, and I closed my eyes. I was sooo happy it was Saturday, and I didn't have to work, this was just too perfect.
Yay! Cute Fax! Stay tuned, there is more up next after this short commercial break!
Bud up ba ba ba, I'm readin' it. !
Okay up next is...
Chapter 2-Miggy
"Iggy! Help!" I squealed, wiggling beneath the two kids on top of me.
"Nope," he said, watching from the couch. Yes, watching. Iggy had gotten surgery to fix his eyes. They were the original light blue that he had been born with.
"Okay, okay! You win!" I laughed, giving in to my kids. They both jumped up, and high-fived.
"Victory!" my little boy, Jeff, cried to the sky. He was the spitting image of Iggy, back when we were in the School. His older sister, Angelica, giggled along with him. I sighed, standing up.
"You," I said, pointing at Iggy, "are in soooo much trouble." I straightened my shirt, and went over to him, sitting on the couch next to him.
"So, is this my punishment? Are you going to snuggle me to death?" he asked, chuckling.
"You're punishment, is to pick the movie," I said, pointing toward the video cabinet.
"Ooo, scary," Iggy said, holding his hands up in mock fear. He stood up, and grabbed a random movie. He put it in the player, and climbed back onto the couch. Jeff and Angelica climbed up on either side of us. We settled in, and I rested my head on Iggy's shoulder.
I slowly fell asleep, completely comfortable in our little home in our small Colorado town. I awoke about two hours later, finding myself alone on the couch. I bolted up right, looking around the room. The TV was on the main menu of the movie, softly playing it's most known song.
"Iggy?" I whispered to the darkness. "Jeff? Angelica?" I heard footsteps down the hall, and I slowly stood, making as little noise as possible.
"Max? Are you awake, honey?" Iggy's voice asked softly. I ran into his arms, which automatically wrapping around me, enveloping me in his warmth. "What's wrong?"
I took a deep breath, realizing that there were tears on my face. "I thought you left. I thought you ran away, like... like Fang," I whispered, gasping for air.
He pulled his wings out, wrapping them around both of us. "I will never leave you. You are the only one for me," he said into my ear. He pulled me along, leading me to our bedroom. "Now, I believe you deserve a prize for being such a good sport. After all, you were double teamed." And he closed the door behind us, leaving our troubles outside.
Awww, a Miggy! So cute! Up next is:
Chapter 3- Mylan
Smack!
The sound rang out through the welled up in my eyes. Why would he do such a thing? Why would Fang hit me?
"You stupid bitch! Why did you come here? I told you never to come to my work!" he yelled, I just coward at his feet, hoping he wouldn't hit me again. "Get out of here!" he yelled. I stood and ran out the door. I was only trying to suprise him, to be a good girlfriend.
I ran to the car, where Dylan was waiting. I tried hard to fight the tears in my eyes, but I lost, and they were streaming down my face by the time that I reached the car.
"Hey, what happened?" he asked as I climbed in the passenger seat. I just shook my head. He began driving, but not towards the apartment I shared with my sister, but to the edge of town. he pulled over to the side of the road, and turned to me.
"Tell me what happened," he said, his voice soft. Thats when it all came tumbling out. I told him everything, all of the abuse I had suffered, bith mentally and phisically, from Fang. I eventually ended up sitting in his lap, my tears staning his shirt, his hand running reassuringly through my hair.
"And I can't break up with him, because he'll just follow me, threatening the people I love... starting with you," I said, turning my head to look at him.
"You love me?" he asked, his voice confused. I ducked my head down, looking away from his beautiful eyes. "She loves me!" he whispered, something close to shock in his voice.
"Why is it such a suprise I love you?" I asked. I knew the answer. I acted like I hated him, but really, I loved him more than anything in the world.
"I thought you wouldn't even full exccept me into the Flock, much less come to love me. But why would Fang start with me? I'm no competion, just your brother," he said, placing a finger under my chin, and turning my face towards him.
"Dylan, you are an idiot," I said, placing a hand lightly on his cheek.
"Why?" he asked, his voice confused, but his eyes hopeful.
"I love you more than a brother. More than him, or Iggy, or Sam," I said.
"Sam?" he asked.
"Ex-boyfriend, possible Eraser," I explained.
"Eraser?"
"You ask to many questions," I laughed, pulling him in for a kiss.
My final thoughts were, Screw Fang.
Yay! Another one down! Up next:
Chapter 4- Male (Hunger Games Crossover)
"Geese!" came a cry from the ground as we flew over a forest. An arrow flew up, narrowly missing Iggy.
"Scatter!" I yelled to the flock.
"Mine!" yelled another voice, this one male. An arrow came whissing toward me, and I didn't get out of the way in time. It hit my wing, and I began spiraling down to earth, nothing to slow my descent. I landed hard, and nearly blacked out.
I heard light footsteps running through the woods, two pairs. Hunters or children, I thought. I pulled in my wings the best I could, and stood. A girl burst into the clearing, bow and arrow in hand.
"Gale!" she yelled, pointing the weapon toward me. A boy, the one who must have shot me, the one called Gale, entered the clearing.
"Where is my goose?" he asked me, raising his own bow and arrow.
"I haven't gotta clue what you're talking about," I spat.
"My goose, the one I shot down, the one that landed here," he replied, his voice calm and meanicing at the same time, the way I coukd make mine.
"You didn't shoot down any goose, you shoot down me!" I hissed.
"Impossible. You would have to be able to fly!" the girl said.
"I could, before your boyfriend shoot me down," I said.
"He is not my boyfriend!" she hissed.
"Calm down, Katniss," Gale said. "Prove you can fly. Take off into the sunset."
"Well, I can't fly now, can I, sunshine? After all, you did shoot my wing!"
"Max! Where are you?" Fang's voice called in the distance.
"Over here! Bring Iggy and the Gasman!" I yelled.
"Who are they?" Katniss asked.
"My family. Don't you have one of those? If you do, I suggest you clear out. I have bomb specialists!" I said.
"Oh, so you're from the Capitol. That make sense. Come on, Katniss, before they tie us to posts and whip us," he said, his tone light, like he was telling a joke, but his eyes were dark, and Katniss fliched at the mention of whipping.
"The capitol of where? You mean DC? I don't live there," I said.
If you want to know what happens next to the Flock/the victors and members of Districts 12/13, read my upcoming cross over Flying Arrows!
