Fang POV

I went back to the flock around dawn and did a head count. I didn't bother to look for Ari. Max wasn't there and Iggy was on watch. I walked up to him.

"Where's Max?" I whispered.

"She said that she was going out for a fly. That was - " he felt his watch "- about ... I'd say ten hours ago."

I looked around, on full alert. Ari wasn't there.

"Where's Ari?" I growled in a whispered.

Iggy shrugged.

I looked around some more and saw that both Ari's and Max's things were gone. What happened? Had she ran away with him? No! I wanted her to run away with ME! Not HIM! I looked at Max's spot and saw a peice a paper sticking about halfway out from under her pillow. I snatched it up. It was a note from Max in her hand writing, so it couldn't have been Ari. What she wrote sounded like Max, so she wasn't forced by Ari. What I read, broke my heart.

I read it to Iggy and he gasped.

The worst part of the note was that it didn't tell me where she was going. I couldn't go after her. The only good part was that the cretin was gone, but so was Max and that was what hurt.

I searched the place where her bag had been for anything that would help me know where she was. I found a notebook. Her journal. I opened it up and what I found amazed me.

There was a drawing of the entire flock. And it looked ... real. I turned the page and there was a drawing of only Angel. The next page was the Gasman. On next page was Nudge. Then there was Iggy. Finally, I found mine. It was amazing. I turned the page and there wasn't a picture, but a song.

I Have Loved You
By: Max; To: Fang

I sucked in a breath. She had wrote a song to me. I hurried to read it.

Remember that blue crystal sky
The sun reflected in your eyes
You kissed my unexpectedly
The moment I can't just forget
We filled the air with promises
And sealed them up so tenderly
But life never asks you what you want
It's just gonna have its way
It doesn't always give like it takes

If I never see your face
If wings take you away from me
And tomorrow never happens baby
If the world comes tumblin' down
And crumbles all around us
Fate turns cruel on your knees
So desperate for one truth
Know that I have loved you

Don't think I'll write another letter or watch another pink sunset
Without thinking about you
I walk along the blue seaside
How will I sleep and night?
How will I wipe the tears from your eyes?

If I never see your face
If wings take you away from me
And tomorrow never happens baby
If the world comes tumblin' down
And crumbles all around us
Fate turns cruel on your knees
So desperate for one truth
Know that I have loved you

Without a single hesitation
Without a thought or reservation
Baby I'll be waiting even

If I never see your face
If wings take you away from me
And tomorrow never happens baby
If the world comes tumblin' down
And crumbles all around us
Fate turns cruel on your knees
So desperate for one truth
Know that I have loved you

If I never see your face
If wings take you away from me
With all my heart and all my soul
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
I have loved you
I have loved you!

If I never see your face
If wings take you away from me
I have loved you

My heart was beating fast and hard in my chest. She loved me! Where did she learned to write songs like this? I turned the page hoping for more.


The next few chapters are going to basically be songs. Just to forewarn you.
