Chapter 2:
(Shane's POV for now)
Sean and I walked in silence over to a river. He looks mad and I don't know why. Was it something I said? I don't think I said anything wrong. He sat on a big rock and looked at me. "Why didn't you tell me you hated it?" he asked.
"Hated what?" I asked.
"You know what I mean Shane. Don't act like you don't know."
"If you mean about me not being able to fly away from danger, I said I disliked."
"Well sorry I fly you around."
"Sean, I never said I didn't-"
"I know what you mean. I'm not stupid." He got up and looked at me. "If you don't like me carrying/flying you around, just say it!"
"Sean, your overacting."
"I am not." Flames surrounded his body and I stepped back. I know not to mess with his like this. But it is amazing how his body doesn't burn when he does this. That's good in more than one way.
"Sean, clam down please."
"No; I'm tired of this. You don't talk to me anymore. I thought we were lovers."
"We are."
"Not anymore we're not. I'm through with you." He threw fire my way and I didn't dodge or block it. I let it hit me and I fell into the river. Sean looked at me then walked away. I hate it when he's like this. He overreacts with little things like that. I got out of the river and sat on the land. I guess he means it this time. We're not lovers anymore. I guess this makes me on my own now. I sighed and starts crying. Why do I cry at the wrong times? I wiped my tears and still cried. My chest hurt as well. This is great. My right wing hurt, my chest hurts and I'm crying. I have to be the biggest baby in the world. The wind blew and I became cold. Great; why not rain on me. It starts down pouring. I have the worst luck ever. I moved to under a tree and sat there. Sean's probably found come cave for himself.
I looked out and see Maximum coming this way. "Shane," she said. "We found a cave and Sean's there. Want to come?" I shook my head.
"No thanks," I said.
"You sure?" I nod and she went back to her flock I bet. I smiled, seeing as someone cared. Sean does care but not now. I looked down at myself and saw I had first degree burns all over me. He's never done this before. I sighed and pulled my legs closer to me. I miss Sean already. I looked up and see Maximum coming back. "You're coming to the cave we found," she said.
"I'm fine," I said. "Don't worry about me."
"You have burns all over you. How can I not worry?" I looked at her and stood up. She grabbed my arm and pulled me to the cave. I got in and saw Sean was there, not looking at me. I guess he doesn't care if I die as well. Maximum introduced me to everyone and told me to stop calling her Maximum. Someone is bossy.
"Shane, what did you and Sean talk about?" Angel asked me. I need a good lie.
"Um…, where we were going next," I answered. He turned his head and looked at me. He sent my and face that said 'you sure as hell not going with me.'
"Where you going?" Nudge asked.
"Maybe up north," I answered.
"Why not fly with us?" Gazzy asked. I thought about it. I don't think so because erasers may pop out everyday. I don't want to put them in danger. I looked over at Sean. He still wasn't looking at me. He was looking at Max. He's moved on already.
"It's best if we don't," I said.
"I will; just tell them Shane," Sean yelled.
"What's going on?" Iggy asked.
"Sean and I are not traveling together anymore," I said. Some of them gasped.
"Why not?" Nudge asked.
"We thought it would be better this way," I replied. "He can travel with you guys and I'll walk alone."
"What if your attacked?" Gazzy asked.
"I'll fight or run away," I said. Like I can even run as well. I have no ways of escaping if I'm attacked. I mind as well just go back to the school. Sean wouldn't care. No one would care. Well I do have one way to defend myself but that rarely works.
(Max's POV)
Something is wrong with Sean and Shane. I mean, they're not sitting next to each other; they're not flying together and or even talking to each other now. It stopped raining out. Maybe we'll stay here for a while. "Alright everyone, get to sleep," I said. The kids whined and laid down. I had first watch.
"I'll watch," Shane said. "You go ahead and sleep. I won't be sleeping tonight." I saw he looked over at Sean. Sean was sleeping. I looked back at Shane and I would tell he was cold and in pain. I mean, the guy has burns all over his arms and chest. He seems lonely without Sean. I went over to him and whispered something in his ear.
"Did you two break up?" He choked on nothing then coughed.
"What makes you think we're together?" he whispered. I saw Fang looked at us.
"I read you profile awhile I first meet you two."
"We're fine. Thanks though Maximum."
"I said call me Max."
"Alright." I went over to my spot. I feel bad for letting him do watch and he's heart broken. I know he's hurting inside. He just doesn't show it. I sighed and fell asleep.
I woke up to cheers and the smell of food. Iggy must be cooking already. I opened my eyes and saw Shane cooking! The younger kids were eating it happily. Question is where did he get everything? He had eggs, bacon and bread. I looked over at Fang. He was probably wondering the same thing. "Here Max," he said handing me a plate then handing Fang one. He took one and walked over to Sean. Sean pushed the plate away from him and all over Shane.
"I don't want any crap cooked by you!" Sean yelled. I saw Shane's eyes widen. He picked up everything, excused himself then walked out of the cave.
"That was mean," Angel said. "He was trying to be nice." Oh crap; I forgot she could read minds. I hope she doesn't try and find anything out about them.
"Shut up," Sean said getting up and leaving. I got up and went over to Sean.
"What is your problem? He was trying to be nice after what happened," I said. Opps; that just gave away I was spying on them. He turned and looked at me. He grabbed my arm and lead me into the forest. He stopped and let go of my arm but pushed my back into a tree.
"Forget that weakling," he said. I wanted to punch him and get him away form me but something in my body wasn't allowing me too. I looked over and saw Shane just saw us. He looked so hurt in his eyes. I looked back at Sean and saw his face was closer to mine. Come on legs, work. He was close enough and he kissed me. What the hell? First Fang and now him too. Fang! I pray he doesn't see this. I finally was able to bring my fist up and before I knew it, it was pinned to the tree. Both my hands were and he was only using one hand. When I blinked, Sean was off me and on the ground. I looked, expecting Shane to have pushed him but no. I saw Fang.
"What the hell you doing to her?" Fang asked.
"Kissing her," Sean said standing up. "Got a problem with it?"
"As a matter a fact, I do," Fang said. He was jealous and I could tell.
"You're not her boyfriend."
"Who said I wasn't?"
"I can tell. I could have hit on her even if you were her boyfriend." Shane came over to me and looked to see if I was okay. I looked and saw Fang and Sean were flying and fighting. Sean was throwing fire at him! That was so not fair. When Sean missed, the fire hit some nearby trees and caught them on fire. He was not only trying to kill Fang but the forest to. Shane brought his hand up and water sprayed out of it. It hit the fire on the trees and put it out. We followed them and they landed near a cliff! Sean was still throwing fire, causing Fang to back up near the end. No; he wants to kill Fang!
"Sean stop!" Shane yelled.
"Stay out of this brat," Sean said. I saw the look of pain in Shane's eyes. He looked like he was going to cry. I looked back at Fang and he had his leg up. He was going to kick Sean. He did and Sean went over the edge. Shane's eyes widened, ran over to the edge, opened his wings and drove after him. Now they'll both be dead.
"Fang, Sean's gay and so is Shane!" I yelled as I ran over to him and looked at him to see if he had any injuries.
