"Max, look it has been six months. I'm not saying that there is any way that they can't come back. But as of right now we are all safe and hidden. So let's relax for the amount of time we have together and we will get through any obstacles that come for us." I opened my mouth to respond but he apparently wasn't done. He put a finger up as if to say one minute. I waited. "Max, there is one more thing I have to tell you. It is very important and I want you to hear it out. I-" He was abruptly cut off by an explosion coming from the other side of the house. Then we heard screaming.
And now the second chapter.
It took about ten seconds for Fang and me to look at each other then sprint out of my room to where the explosion came from. It sounded like it came from our living room so that is where we were headed to. I didn't see anyone else. Who was that screaming? Did Angel, my baby, get taken again? Or was it anyone else from my family? Iggy, Gazzy, Nudge? I couldn't tell.
That's when I remembered my nightmare. Could my nightmare come true? Were my dreams warning me about something coming in the future, or what was happening now? I could only guess at this point. I wanted to talk to Fang. Talking… Fang… He was just about to tell me something! What could that be?
Oh how being an adolescent half mutant teenage girl can be.
Fang and I arrived at the living room in record time. Smoke was everywhere and we really couldn't see. I saw a shadow moving toward us. Then I heard a cough. It didn't really look big enough to be an eraser. But then again you know what your parents or in my case the voice tell me, looks can be deceiving. Just to make sure I shot a quick glance at Fang. He felt me looking at him gave one stiff nod saying that he sees the shadow and heard the cough then got ready to fight, if there was one, which I certainly hope their wont be.
The shadow started walking toward us, or was it crawling? We heard very light footsteps. I didn't recognize them as anyone from the flock. Here comes the dilemma again, where the h-e double hockey sticks were the rest of the flock?! I was getting very scared by now.
The person/thing was getting closer to us now. We could practically see it. About twenty-five seconds later, twenty-five LONG seconds, we saw the "monster" was, Total.
I breathed out a sign of relief as I turned to Total. Fang looked kind of pissed; actually, he looked very pissed. I decided to deal with that very soon but first I needed some answers.
"Total? Where is Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy and Angel?", I asked unable to hold the questions any longer.
"In that mess of smoke somewhere. But for the record I am not any part of this. Nor do I wish I was here right now, I would be sleeping right now if Angel didn't want to stay." Total explained quickly then went off to Angel's room where he was sleeping.
"REPORT!", I yelled.
It wasn't long before I heard everyone moving around. I heard a few laughs, Gazzy and Iggy. They all emerged together. Fang rolled his eyes then walked out of the room. Fine. I guess I'll have to deal with it myself.
"I can't believe you guys! What if someone got hurt? You were all supposed to be in your rooms. What do you have to say?" I was being very mother-like lately. It was kind of creepy.
Iggy smiled.
Angel was trying not to laugh just listening in on my mind.
Nudge was yawning and holding her stomach, that girl is always hungry.
Gazzy was the one to speak up. "Well we weren't really tired and we figured that we would set off some "fireworks". But now we are beat so I will see you all in the morning. Night!" They all went off their separate ways.
"You can't get off that easy", I muttered as they walked away.
I really wanted to see what Fang had meant to say. So I decided to go to his room knowing that he would still be awake.
I knocked on his door. I didn't hear anything so I walked in anyways. As I thought he was still awake.
"Hey. Why did you just leave earlier?"
"I don't know. I mean we both thought it was some danger and it turned out to just be another prank by Iggy and Gazzy. I knew you could handle it so I left. Anyways, I didn't want to be around when you got all fired up", He smiled one of those rare smiles then sat up on his bed.
I walked over and sat in front of him. "So, Fang, What were you going to tell me. You know, earlier, right before the Iggy and Gazzy prank?"
FANG'S POV
Max came to sit on the bed right in front of me after I sat up. That's when she said, "So, Fang, What were you going to tell me. You know, earlier, right before the Iggy and Gazzy prank?"
I was instantly nervous. How could I say it? I hated being a male teenage mutant.
"Look, Max, I really don't know how to say this, but- umm…I sort of- no I really lo-"
Angel came bursting into my room at that second. Now what does she want?
"You know, I have been keeping this a secret from Fang to Max and from Max to Fang for awhile now, and I'm tired of it. I gave you both plenty of chances. Max, you love Fang, Fang loves you. Fang, you love Max, Max loves you." I just stared at Angel. I can't believe she just spilt that. Wait! Max feels the same about me?! "Now that I have that out of my head I'm going to bed. Goodnight!"
Max and I were just staring at each other when Angel left. Joy, embarrassment, frustration, anger, most likely towards Angel, but most importantly love were all the emotions I could see. Her emotions mostly mimicked my own. That's when we kissed. It was like fireworks, not like those few times that we did kiss, this was different. Both of us knew each other's feeling. It was hotter. But that's when we heard an alarm and we broke apart like electric shock. I knew this wasn't a prank any of the members of the flock were playing. I knew it was real. So did the rest of the flock. We all gathered together right in front of our door. Bracing ourselves. Whatever was coming next is not going to be pretty.
How do you like it? I know it's not amazing. But soon it will be awesome. I will soon be putting up a Twilight story too. Look for it. Reviews are good and nice =D
Have a great day. And remember any suggestions? I am open minded.
