Chapter 3

Before I had time to even blink, Fang put his lips over my own and kissed me.

I lay there in shock as Fang's moist, firm lips kissed my own and I felt my brain start to go hazy with pleasure. It felt so good and so….so….

All rational thoughts left my head as Fang suddenly wrapped his arms around me and I instinctively put my arms round his neck. He kissed me needily, desperately… passionately almost, and I could hardly think straight through the wonderful feeling coursing through me.

He kissed me firmly again, before he broke the kiss and began to nuzzle the side of my neck and tightened his grip around me.

I could've sworn I herd him mutter "mine" softly to himself, but I was so dizzy from happiness and the fact that he kissed me I wasn't sure if I heard anything right.

Fang then leaned in to kiss me again, this time much softer and more gently. I lay there still in shock as he kissed my lips again and then drew apart, and seemed to stare down at me in disbelief.

I had to blink a few times to keep my eyes from drifting closed and I looked up at him blushing furiously, suddenly realizing what we'd just done. He stared at me in shock; his face also flushed a dark red in mortification and embarrassment.

I opened my mouth, planning on telling him the only word that I had in my head—awkward.

What came out, however, was a word much worse (and something I will probably never live down)

"Wow…." I said, and then immediately bit my lip.

I saw Fang stutter for words and then quickly turn away before jumping off of me and letting me sit up. He stared unmovingly at the wall and I shifted to lean against the headboard uncomfortably.

What in the world just happened? I wondered to myself. Sure I'd enjoyed it, but was Fang okay!? He'd practically jumped me on the bed! And we were a step away from making out!
I flushed at the thought.

What if one of the younger kids had seen us? What was wrong with me? What's wrong with him?!

That, my dear Max, is called bloodlust!My Voice hissed angrily at me. I felt a shot of pain roll through my head and I winced. I waited for the pain to pass before focusing on my Voice.

"What do you mean bloodlust?" I asked and saw Fang whip around to look at me.

Oh shoot, I said that out loud.

"Max? Does your Voice know what happened to me?" Fang asked cautiously and I looked to his flushed, nervous face and felt a wave of nerves wash over me again.

"I—uhh, I'll see" I told him.

"What do you mean by bloodlust?" I asked the Voice. I could've sworn it scoffed at me.

Bloodlust, Max, is when chemicals within both male and female blood become active, however both are slightly different due to the amounts of testosterone an estrogens within male and female bloodlines, therefore causing an extreme attraction towards the other and therefore activates the animal going into heat...

I waited patiently for a moment, knowing that my Voice was doing that on purpose just to confuse me.

…it means that Fang has developed an uncontrollable, animalistic attraction to you, Max, because your blood is now in his veins...

I relayed this information to Fang, hardly believing what my Voice was telling me.

So Fang is attracted to me now? I asked awkwardly.

It's much worse than that, Max, my Voice insisted urgently.

Fang has no control over his instinctive attraction to you, or over his animalistic urges. If you get to close to him or too intimate—anything as simple as touching him, he could lose control of himself. And I hate to tell you this…but he won't be able to control his actions when he goes into bloodlust and it will only end when the instinct has passed.

That could mere seconds or as long as days Maximum. Do you understand why I want you away from Fang now?! He could seriously harm you, or even kill you without knowing it! And neither you nor he can stop that!

I froze in shock, hardly able to let the realization sink in.

But Fang would never hurt me! Ever! I protested.

MAXIMUM! Fang will not be able to control himself! He could kill you and not know it until after he regains control of his body! Do you understand me!? I'm trying to protect you, Max. Don't put your life at risk because of him!...

I gasped for breath and tried to slow my racing heart.

There's no way this could be true…It can't….it's impossible….

I felt worry and panic twist uncomfortably in my stomach

…isn't it?

"Max?...What's your Voice saying?..."

I turned to Fang, almost forgetting that he was still in the room. The other end of the room now, but in the room all the same.

"It uhh….it's…" I forced myself to take a deep breath and stay cool.

"It said that you're in bloodlust, because my blood is now in you" I told him slowly.

"It's kinda like… this uncontrollable attraction, but you won't be able to control your body while you're in bloodlust. Like an animal going into heat…"

I saw Fang frown deeply and I swallowed a lump in my throat.

"It also said that umm….you could go into bloodlust at any time, and it could last for seconds or days, or anything in between. But uhh….I have to be careful around you, cause, umm….if you can't control your body or your actions then umm…uhh, well--"

"Tell me!" he barked in frustration.

"--that you could seriously hurt or even kill me without knowing it" I quickly finished.

I saw Fang's eyes widen in complete shock and fear and I immediately regretted telling him the last part. I sighed softly and looked to him pleadingly.

"Fang…" I said, desperately trying to think of something to reassure him. He stared at me and shook his head, his eyes still wide in horror.

"No…" he muttered and began to back away from me.

"Fang!" I called softly, "It's okay. Relax… I know you! I know that you'd never—"

"No, Max" he said and continued to back away from me. "I …I couldn't control myself before, and you have no idea how sorry I am for that….but there is no way-- no way in hell that I'm going to stay here if I'm going to hurt you—"

"Fang!?" I said, now starting to worry, seeing Fang turn to unlatch the window.

"Fang!" I cried out.

"Max! Just…stay away from me, alright!? Don't look for me. I promise I'll be back by morning, but stay away from me. I don't want you being stupid …" he told me softly, and unfurled his wings.

"…I'll leave for tonight and I swear to stay as far away from you as possible in the Flock and when we're travelling….just--well, don't…."

Fang let out a frustrated sigh and climbed onto the windowsill.

I sat there in disbelief as he leaned out the window before finishing.

"….just, keep yourself safe from me. I don't want to hurt you…ever….and I would kill myself if I ever did…. G'night, Max…"

"FANG!" I practically screamed at him, hardly believing my ears.

"FANG!!"

I was met with nothing but silence from Fang. And before I could say anything else, he crept out the window swiftly, unfurled his wings and jumped, flying off into the night…

--Hundreds of Fang fangirls everywhere scream and faint in horror--

--CK looks around guiltily--

Hehehe...oops...
