Wingsthatfly, this update is for you, since I read your review. (hey that rhymed)

FANG POV

I walked into my house and dropped my book bag.

"Hey mom?" I called. She didn't respond, which was weird because she rarely ever left the house during the day. Max walked in, and her mouth dropped open in surprise. I smirked. My house was pretty awesome. It had a huge ceiling in the living room, which you could see from the front door. The kitchen had all new appliances, since we update them every two years. My dad's den was like every man's dream. Yeah, we were rich.

"Why don't I give you a tour." I said smugly.

I walked her around the house, showing her everything except the library, because she wouldn't care about a library. I turned the corner to the stairs, and I saw this red liquid trailing up our white carpeted stairs.

"Is that blood?" Max yelped. It sure did look like blood, which got me really scared. I walked quietly upstairs, followed by a clumsier Max. As I reached the top of the stairs, I saw a flash of black go into my sister, Ella's room. I quickly grabbed Max's arm. I stalked toward El's room, and grabbed a vase along the way. I dropped Max's arm and held the vase above my head right outside Ella's room. I looked inside, ready to kill the intruder, only to see Iggy and Ella involved in a passionate kissing frenzy. I lowered the vase in disgust, as Max started to snort, giggle, and make other sounds I was not aware you could make while laughing. It was perfect. I turned to her in amazement. She was perfect.

MAX POV

Fang grabbed my hand as we reached the top of the stairs, and it was a good thing he didn't look at me, because he would've seen some serious blushage (A/N: you know, like serious ponage after a dis ;)). We crept along, and he picked up a vase and held it over his head. I wondered if he did that normally. We looked into the room we were standing outside of, and saw a girl and a boy kissing like they had been deprived of it all their lives. I burst into laughter as Fang lowered the vase, relaxing. I was still laughing when he looked at me incredulously, and shut their door quietly behind them.

"What? How was I supposed to know my sister was with her boyfriend? I thought there was an intruder. I mean, what would you think if you saw a red liquid on the stairs? Huh?" he said, as I continued to laugh at him.

"Well, if you looked closely, it was some kind of paint." I said between chortles.

"Oh." Was his great excuse. I finished up my laughing and we went back down stairs to start working on our project. He wasn't so bad after all.

"I'm gonna call my mom to let her know I'm working on my project, kay?" I said as I walked into the adjoining study. On the second ring, my mother picked up the phone.

"Max?" she choked out between sobs.

"Mom? What's wrong? Are you okay?"

"Max. Nudge is missing. She never came home from school, and her friends say that she wasn't on the bus, and that they thought that I was coming to pick her up."

"Oh, mom that's terrible. Right now I'm at a… friend's house, working on a science project. I'll have him drive me home as soon as I get off the phone, okay?"

"No, sweetie. Stay there, okay? It's chaotic over here, and you really need to do that project. I'll call you if you need to come home, or if there's any updates."

"Okay mom. Bye." I hung up reluctantly and rushed back into the living room to hear Fang talking to Lissa on the phone. My day couldn't get much worse, could it?

Review, review, review! I need your input! Should I have a character death?

And, I think I deserve some applause for updating within the same day that I posted the 1st chapter. Whoop, whoop!
