Chapter Two
(Fang's point of view)
I flew up beside her so that my wing touched just the tip of one of hers. It was a sign that I was changing direction. She didn't even look my way, and yet I knew she was fully aware that I had signaled to her. With a sigh I angled downward not even bothering to check if she had followed, because I was sure she had.
We both landed silently in the wide meadow. I had been here a few times during our two week stint at the motel. It large and almost as beautiful as it was remote. There wasn't one road within twenty miles of it. It was also, almost completely covered in wildflowers. But the true reason I had chosen this spot was because it was mostly surrounded by large boulders.
I walked over to the seat shaped rock that I had discovered on my last visit. I looked back to where Max had landed. Unsurprisingly she had sat down directly where she had landed and was studiously examining a small blue flower. With a sigh I pushed of the rock where I had been leaning and walked over to her.
(Max's pov)
I twirled my small flower between my hands and continued to pointedly ignore him. I had just begun to contemplate the reasons why he would shove me so hard out a window (my only solution at that point had been an alien abduction) when suddenly he was in front of me. I gritted my teeth and continued to stare meaningfully at the ground. He heaved a sigh and then suddenly bent and lifted me into his arms.
"What the hell…!" I managed to splutter.
I looking up at him for the first time, and noticed that his jaw muscles weren't taught… nor were his arm muscles. How could he lift me and make it appear effortless, unless…
"Nuh uh!" I half-screeched. He did not have super-strength! No way!
He smile widely and nodded. Well, that would explain why he had been staring at his foot like it was possessed and the broken bed… and the shove…huh.
"Oh! I'm so sorry! I thought you shoved me so hard out the window on purpose! I'm sorry!" I looked up at him with wide eyes as my voice got higher with distress.
"Really!" I plead with him "I didn't know!" Shock flashed across his face.
"I shoved you?" he asked, sounding completely lost.
"I'm sure you didn't realize it." I told him hoping to make him feel better.
(Fang's pov)
"I didn't hurt you though, right? You're not in pain now, are you?" i asked her.
It scared me that I hadn't realized I had hurt her, if I could break a bed with a light kick then why hadn't I thought a light push wasn't, actually a light push.
"I'm so sorry I hurt you" I whispered, afraid to look in her beautiful eyes. Afraid that I would feel more shame if I did. But I was more afraid that if I didn't look she would keep something from me. I could always tell if she was in pain or lying by looking into her deep green eyes. Taking a deep breath, I slowly pulled my head up and looked cautiously at her face.
Her eyes were wide and pleading, her full lips were parted with worry, and there was a little dent between her delicate brows, which only showed when she was distressed.
(Max's pov)
He stared down at me and I stared up at him. Then his eyes got all soft, the muscles in his face relaxed, and his lips pulled up a tiny bit in the corners. I smiled then sank into his arms with a sigh. His eyes widened a tiny bit and he pulled me, gently, closer to him. A minute later we were at the rock that Fang had been leaning on before. He gently laid me on it and I scooted over to make room. He hauled him self up next to me (breaking off a piece of rock in the process) and laid down, pressing himself right to my side. My mind apparently wasn't connected body, because what happened next surprised us both.
