Chapter 2: Very Un-Like-Fang

Max POV

I was confused by the way Fang was looking at me, and what he had said....it kept ringing through my head....'I go where you go'. That's what he had said. It kept on going through my mind. The way he said was...well....Very Un-Fang-like. It was strange.

Of course....he was doing a lot of un-like-Fang things lately. My mind flashed to the night in the cave....his shadow on the wall, and the way his lips felt against mine....but...I couldn't like Fang! I couldn't....he was like...well my brother...but not really. He was the only one I could trust....the only one I could tell everything to...show my weakness.

I sighed; I was on the roof of the house. The trees around us were great shelter, and I slowly unfolded my wings. They were hurting me ever since we got to my mothers. I was really itching to go flying...but I didn't think it was safe. Even if Jeb wasn't a whitecoat, and the chip was out of my arm... They could still be hanging around. Searching for us, and destroy us. To be truthful, I didn't think staying here was such a great idea. The Director, the one that said she was my mother, knew I was looking for my real mom. I figure the first place they'll look is here at her house. But until then, I was going to let the flock settle...and have a normal life. They deserve it.

That's it Max.... Thinking about the rest of the flock. You've come a long way. Said the voice in my head, now known as Jeb. Thanks for the input, Jeb! I thought back. He had a habit of going into my thoughts, and commenting. I don't need you to listen in on my thoughts, Jeb! I'm fine on my own. I thought, knowing that wasn't entirely true. I knew he'd helped me a countless number of times. I sighed.

"Sighing is bad luck, you know." I turned my head fast to see Fang standing on the roof near his room's window. His shadow reflected out hitting the very edge of the roof panel next to me. As he walked closer his shadow engulfed me, and so did the look in his eyes.

"Yeah," I said my voice sad, and weak. I winced at that. I hated when I sounded like this. "Since when has Luck been on our side? Why start now?" I put at the end, and looked to the night sky again. Nevada had beautiful stars.

I guess Fang felt the need to be close to me, so he sat down right next to me, his leg grazing mine. I could feel the heat on my cheeks, and I continued to look up at the stars. "That's true" he said. I could feel his eyes on my body once again, and that made things even worse. "Max..." he said, and I knew what was coming. We were going to have to talk about that night in the cave. I sighed again, and shifted my gaze to him. "I want to talk about it" he continued, still looking at me.

"I know... " I muttered, and looked at our legs, they were touching now, not slightly, but pressing together, like we were in a crowded room, and there wasn't an entire roof for us to sit on. "Can I just....can I ask you one thing?" I said, still looking at our legs, my hands were in my lap, and I could see his hands in his, twitching, as if he wanted to reach over and snatch my hands and hold them tight.

"Of course" he said, still looking at my face.

"W-why now?... And why did u kiss that other red-head, if you liked me?" I asked, letting all the emotion I felt sink into the words as I said them.

He didn't answer me at first. He just stared at the sky. I didn't look up, my eyes were glued to my hands, and I felt his leg stiffen against mine. Then he looked at me...and started to talk. "I just...."
