I turned around and looked Ari in the eyes. I sighed at his presence. "What do you want, dog breath?" I asked. "Just what you're after. The girl." Ari laughed devilishly. Angel? Why did he want Angel? I thought it was me he was always after. You're not always the one people are after. The Voice said. You have to find Angel before Ari, Or else. Way to state this obvious, Voice. Or else what? I thought back. No answer. "I better get going," Ari said. "I have a bird-girl to catch." He laughed again and flew off. He was getting better at flying. My rage grew inside of me. he is not going to get Angel. No matter what.
I heard another noise behind me. I turned around and saw Dylan. "I woke up and saw you left," he said. "Can't sleep?" "I'm looking for Angel," I said, remembering what Ari had told me. "Come back to bed," Dylan said. "You look tired." "I don't think so...," I replied. Angel needed me. "Come on, Max," He held out his hand. "She'll do what she wants," Fang said grimly from behind me. "She needs sleep," Dylan said to Fang. "Come on Max," he looked at me and jiggled his arm. "Don't tell her what to do," Fang snarled at Dylan. "Oh yeah? You gonna stop me?" Bad move, Dylan. I thought. Before I could do anything, Fang flew over my head and pinned Dylan down. "Now," Fang started with a lot of edge in his voice. "We can do this the easy way, or the Fang way. You're call, golden boy." Dylan's face was so red with anger, he looked like a tomato. Dylan spit in Fang's face. "Bring it," he snarled. Uh oh. Fang drew back his fist and unloaded on Dylan's face. "Fang, no!" I yelled. I grabbed Fang's shoulders and pulled him off of Dylan, who was bleeding from every part of his face. Fang just looked at me in his annoying Fang-way. He surprised me by taking my hand. He flew us up and away. I was so shocked, I forgot about Dylan.
