READ and REVIEW!!


Fang POV:

There, I sigh in my head as I tighten the last bolt on the Ford Freestyle's engine block over top of me. For a usually simple repair job, this took longer than I had expected. I roll the plastic cart I'm laying on out from under the car and stand, relived to get to stretch after 2 hours of working while laying on my back (not something I'm extremely used to yet).

I glance around the shop real quick and thankfully see no one around, so I slip off my work shirt to reveal the black t-shirt underneath. I slowly extend my wings from the tight postition I've held them in and roll my shoulders.

"Ahhhh.." I sigh, feeling my wing muscles beginning to relax some.

I stretch my arms above my head and tilt my head back. I hold this for a second then drop my arms back down. I sigh and pull my wings back in before someone comes back into the shop. I shrug on my navy blue work shirt and wipe the grease off my hands on the rag I keep tucked in my back pocket.

I put the rag back and now move to stick my hand in my right hip pocket. My hand automatically curls around the small velvet box inside and I smile.

I'm gonna ask her today. I'm gonna make Max 'officially' mine. I've had the ring for a few months now, before we found out she was pregnant, but just haven't found the right time to ask her. But that's all going to change today. I really hope she likes the ring. It's simple, but perfect and beautiful...like Max herself (AN: pic of ring on profile!!). A moment later I realize I've been standing in the middle of the shop smiling like a idiot, so I compose my face and get back to work.

About an hour later I hear my phone ringing from across the room. I leap out from under the VW Bug I'm working on and run to answer it. I get a glance at the number and it says 'Home'. I feel my muscles tighten and a wave of questions pound through my head. Why would Max call me in the middle of the day? She never does that. Something must be wrong.

I flip the phone up and press it to my ear.

"Hello" I say.

I hear Max breathing really heavy on the other end of the line and it's making me crazy with worry.

"Max, what's wrong" I ask in a barely calm voice.

"Fang, Fang, Fang!" She pants, her voice thick like she's crying.

"Max, what's wrong!" I say louder, panic starting to enter my voice. I hope she and the flock are all okay.

I can hear Max sobbing through the phone, but is thankfully talking with every intake of breath.

"He...got...her...I..oh my god...I can't...No!" she barely gets out before all I can hear is her crying out unintelligable words.

"Max, sweetheart, calm down some and tell me what you said again." I try to sound reassuring but my heart is pounding away and I'm clutching the wrench in my hand so tightly I'm about to draw blood.

Max takes a deep breath and sniffles.

"He has Ally" she says, her voice breaking.

I'm seeing red. "Who has Ally Max!! Who!!" I practically shout.

All I hear her say is one word before I smash the phone against the wall.
