REVIEW, PEOPLE IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE STORY JUST SAY WHAT I SHOULD DO!!IF YOU DO LIKE THE STORY, SPEAK UP!!
And there he was. Morphed out into an eraser, with dripping canines, and a permanent grimace. His bulky wings suddenly looked menacing in the sunlight. He was holding something, too. I gasped when I finally realized what it was.
It was a knife. The very same knife from back at Anne's.
"Long time no see, Ari. Come to confirm your nightmares?" I taunted.
He grinned evilly. "No. Only to bring out one of my dreams."
Remember how you thought I was bonkers? Well, look at him.
Putting one hand behind my back, I made "Leave!" signals with my fingers. But I didn't feel them parting, and I quickly turned to look at them. They were looking at me, all giving out their own signals that they wouldn't-couldn't, leave my side. I guess I'm funny that way toward people. Crap
As I turned, I suddenly felt someone fly toward me. Fang.
"Go home, Ari. Unless you want yourself kicked into the next century. Again." Fang sneered.
I permitted myself a smile. He was so badass.
I saw Ari's eyes flash with-doubt? But he quickly recovered himself and turned the forbidding knife until it caught the moonlight.
"I don't want to hurt the others, Max. Tell them to leave, and I won't follow them. But, you stay here." He said calmly pointing at me casually.
I stared at him in shock. What did he want from us? What did he want from me?
Without turning, I motioned for the flock to leave. Using the secret language, I urged them to go." Shushay, excerbidy. Legwa."
I could feel tension as it radiated from their bodies as they flew toward the trees below us. I told them to hide there, and keep watch for any funny business. But of course, every freaking day of my life is funny business. Do you think they keep watch like I told them to?
No freaking duh
Only one stayed by my side. Guess who, kids.
Ari stared at Fang warily, as if waiting for him to attack. "Now listen here, dope face!" Ari seethed, "Max has asked you to leave, and I think you'd better do it."
I glanced at Fang with questioning eyes. Why did he stay? Will he leave me?
Of course not. You people are saying. He would never leave you! And guess what?
We have a winner!
Fang flew closer to me, his face grimly determined to stay put. "I'm not going anywhere, dogboy." He goaded.
Why was he taunting him? Maybe it was just an Ari/Fang thing. I don't know.
Ari looked impassively at him, and I began to wonder how long it was going to take before he cracked.
"Max, if you leave now, forever, with me, we can get away from all of this. Away from Jeb, Anne, the school. Everything.
Ugh. I've so had this conversation before. And what will my answer be, you ask.
You know this, people!
"No, Ari. We've talked about this before," I felt Fang's questioning eyes at me, but I continued, "Not for you, not for anybody."
"Okay Ari, you've got your answer, so go home before daddy starts to worry." Fang snarled meanly. He turned away and started to fly off, but turned when Ari countered.
Ari flashed a horrible grin. "Ooh, you shouldn't have said that."
And before I could say a peep, Ari swooped now, and stabbed me with the knife.
