Hey Again. Sorry bout last chapter with the miss leading AN. Thank you MaximumRider99 *cough cough* awesome writer *cough cough* for helping me realize that. Even though there was a reason its there, the note wasn't exactly true. Anyway... Here's another chapter. Just saying I really love this one!
Max
I was woken up by someone shaking my shoulders. My eyes flickered open to see the one and only Fang.
"We have to leave." He said.
I stood up stiffly and grabbed my backpack. I slung my pack over my shoulders. I was about to open the door but Fang grabbed my hand.
He shook his head.
"Get out the window." He whispered.
Then I realized we were the only ones in the room.
"What about you?" I asked. He nodded to the door. I crawled out the window, only to see the door flying open and wolf creatures stepping in. A shard of the door was thrown into my lower back and I drifted towards the darkness.
Fang
Erasers surrounded me. Thank god, the rest of the gang was in the woods now.
"Hello Bird-boy." Ari snarled.
"Nice seeing you too, dog-breath." I growled back.
He lunged towards me, missing me by an inch. I whipped out my handy Bo staff. A eraser noticed I took it out and they took it. It snapped in half. All my fights, the memories all gone.
Instead of being of upset, I turned angry. I felt the frustration build up and I felt a spark of warmth in my hands. Then I looked down. My hands where on fire. Fire! F-I-R-E! As in the stuff you use to roast marshmallows. I know I've mastered water, and other stuff. And now fire! God, my life's messed up. I shot the fire off my hands easily. Almost effortlessly. All erasers were laying on the ground twitching. Well that's done. I jumped over each wolf body and into to the bathroom. I collected my trashy black bag and swung it around onto my back, in between my wings. I stole a glance at the mirror and saw myself with silver hair and eyes. I rubbed my eyes then looked again. Still the same. I pulled the hood up on my hoodie and pulled on my sunglasses. I walked out of the building as if nothing ever happened and saw four eyes glancing at me as if I just won a war. I hopped into the passenger seat and glanced at Max.
"We need to go somewhere." I said.
Max turned out as I told her the directions of where to go.
We pulled up in front of Dr. Martinez's and Ella's house. I quickly got out of the car and knocked on the door. The door flew open By Ella, grinning ear to ear decked out in pink.
"Mom, Fang's back!" She yelled through the house, hugging me tight. I awkwardly hugged her. I felt someone shooting bullets into my back. Not literally. It was a hyperbole. God people, chill it. Dr M came out and gave me a bear hug.
"Hey Fang, what's up?" Dr. M asked.
"I have a new power." I replied.
"Another one?" She questioned. I nodded.
"Okay come on in." She looked behind me to see the car full of my friend. "And them too. Ella go get em'" She ordered.
We walked into the familiar home. The one that smelled like cookies. The one that's always friendly. We went into her guest room, the one I stayed in when I was hurt.
"So what is it?" Dr M asked. I plopped on the bed and sighed.
"Fire." I said.
"How?"
"It's triggered by rage."
Dr. M contemplated the idea for a minute. Then she sighed.
"Want to know a secret?" She said. I shook my head.
"I want to. Okay are you ready?" She checked. I didn't look at her.
"I work for ITEX." She whispered.
My head snapped up. Was this some kind of sick joke? I thought of this woman as a mother and she betrays me. Anger bubbled up inside my stomach and I bursted. I shot up and pinned her against the wall.
"WHAT?" I roared.
"Fang-" She started. I cut her off.
"NO, I TRUSTED YOU! NOW YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE A WHITECOAT!" I yelled. Fury, that's all I felt. No emotion other than that.
Max
I heard crashing from the room Fang and went into. Yeah, that's right I know her name. They seem like nice people.
BANG!
"WHAT?" Fang yelled.
I heard the muffled voice of Dr. Martinez.
"NO, I TRUSTED YOU! NOW YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE A WHITECOAT!" Fang yelled again. Note: Don't get fang angry.
"ELLA GET THE COOKIES." Dr. Martinez called to Ella.
Ella shot off the couch and rushed into the kitchen. She pulled out a few cookies from the bin. She ran down the hall into the room. I silently walked to the room. Even though I couldn't see I could hear.
"Fang, please!" Ella pleaded.
It was as if Fang could sense the fear in her voice. He calmed down. Thank god, everyone was outside. I walked into the room to see Fang sitting on the bed head in hands. Ella and Dr. Martinez talking together. I sat on the bed next to the bed next to Fang. I put a hand on his shoulder but he shrugged it off.
"Fang, you can't keep things bottled up like this." I whispered. He nodded.
"Everyone's trusting you. Relying on you." I reassured.
"When would they trust a monster?" He asked. Flipping the conversation around. I had no freaking Idea what he was talking about.
"Fang if you were a monster, you'd be good." I said soothingly. Fang nodded. We stood up.
"Sorry, Dr. M." Fang said.
"Fang, honey it wasn't your fault." She replied smiling. We left the room and went outside. The kids and Iggy were playing together. Wait does Iggy count as a kid? I guess so. We went over to them.
"Time to leave." I informed them. They joined us walking to the van. Fang decided to drive to get his mind of something.
We pulled into a abandoned campsite. It wasn't anything fancy, just a few logs and a empty clearing. I sat down in the grass, curling up. I've got third shift. I shut my eyes and a wave of sleep lapped over me.
Fang
I was taking first shift. Everyone was asleep except Angel. She came over to me.
"Fang?" She asked innocently.
"Hmm?" I replied looking to her.
"Can you read me a story? I can't fall asleep without them." Angel pleaded.
I nodded and let a tiny smile slip onto my lips. She climbed into my lap. Which surprised me. I looked at her. Her big blue eyes filled with mischief. She put her book into the palm of my calloused hand. I looked down. The three little pigs. (AN: Bear with me I totally forgot most of it.)
"The three little pigs. Once upon a time..." She rested her head against my chest. "I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down..." I glanced down and saw she was asleep. I myself was tired. Before I knew it, I was fast asleep.
Max
I woke up to take my shift. I looked around to see Gazzy and Nudge leaning against the same log. Iggy just settled down. Where Angel slept was empty. I looked over to Fang. Two figures were there. One tiny one curled up in the larger one's lap. The bigger one was resting their head against the little one's head. A book was resting In front of their sleeping form. Angel and Fang. I think they'll trust each other more now. I never knew Fang had a soft side. I'm relieved to see that he wasn't just a shell of a person. Two words:
How Cute.
See why I love it know? I'm trying to build up everyone's trust then do something drastic. Nothing super bad though. It's just something slips. So... PM or review if you have any questions or suggestions. Thanks!
