Max POV

"Max! When are we going to land? I'm like getting real hungry here! I mean like this is murder it's horrible! When have we last AT---" Nudge kept going even though for one Iggy put his hand over her mouth; and I couldn't hear her because Fang took my attention.

"It looks like it going to start raining, soon. I don't trust those clouds," gee I wonder why, have they started to accelerate, did they look like a large ugly flock of bird/wolf things? No none of the above they looked much, much worst. It looked like you could slice them open. And it looked like night below them, it was so dark. Almost like those werewolf, vampire horror movies.

"Ow!" Iggy said, I looked back and he was rubbing his hand, "She bit me, I can't believe she actually bit me!" he mumbled to himself. He looked as if he were looking over his hand flipping it this way and that. "Nice job Nudge, I think you should be the one called Fang."

"You okay back there Iggy?" I said over Fangs persitant growling. I nudged him then laughed 'maybe they should change names if not for a day or so." he stopped and looked at me.

"--- Yah, I have a bad feeling. But, on the good side I ---" Iggy must have recovered because he put his hand back over Nudge's mouth.

"Max there's a clearing up ahead," Angel contributed.

"thanks but I think it would be a better idea if we stayed in a hotel or something." I nodded toward Fang. He didn't look at me but replied.

"We'd better land get some food, maybe find a hotel to stay in, and see how the weather is in the morning." he said casually as if he hadn't heard our intire conversation. He was wawtching the lights below of Port Angeles. And dipped to land I got out my Maximum Ride credit card and headed to follow him.

We landed in the alley behind the movie theater. I counted the flock, and we began to emerge from the alley. Iggy led them followed closely – a little closer than I would expect – came Nudge, carring a sleeping Total, kicking in his a dream. Angel was listening to Nudges animated story, while Gazzy followed disinterested. He looked back at me for a moment, be fore walking a little faster to catch up with the girls.

Something, or someone brushed my arm, I jumped ever so slightly before someone grabbed my hand, intertwining its fingers, with his own. Fang walked up taking the credit card from my hand. "One room, two rooms,--" he paused then went on smiling, "or, three?"

"Three so that way we aren't all crowded together, as usual." I said gliding my hand gently out of his wrapping my arms around Gazzy's shoulders, hugging him close.

"Max can we please see a movie?" Nudge whined. Then her, Angel, and Total started up, with; "Please!!!" and then they had the Bambi eyes, I cracked. With a heavy sigh they all jumped for joy. Iggy and Fang were watching me with enjoyment. I gave them each the bird.

"Fine, But we have to head to find a hotel to stay in and get cleaned up first," I looked them over, they were a mess. Definitly in need of a bath, I thought as I reached up and gently played with one of Angels dropping curl.

They nodded solemnly, and turned. Fang was the last one out. "I was looking up cheap hotels in the Olympic Peninsula area. And here in Port Angeles is one in great walking distance from here," he said from behind me. I paused since when did 'Mr. Suave' become our own personal traveling agent? He turned halfway "What?"

I shook my head walking to catch up. As we walked past the theater, a man, boy, guy, caught my eye he was breath takingly beautiful. The girl he was with was, well not good enough for him in my own opinion. He glared at me then, as if he heard what I had said. I looked down to see Angel watching them as two more amazingly beautiful people got out of the black Volvo. The 'guy' had brown hair blond and red highlights, I guess you could call it bronze, the girl he was with, had straight dark brown hair going to mid-back. The others were a pixie-like girl, with spiky black hair talking Nudge like in the girls ear, while the blond boy seemed bored, yet sametime no emotion, like a big blond Fang. How these people reminded me so much of my family scared me.

We walked across the street over to this huge expansive looking hotel. Trying to clear my head I shook it walking through the door Fang held open, for me. I looked around, it had a high celing, nice shandeliers. And most of all, Rich people, and a lot of them, dressed well.

"You guys stay here, while we go check in" Fang said all business. Who died and made him leader? "You coming?"

"Of course, who made you the leader?"

"Nobody but I thought you deserved a break. Or atleast some help, since I know you would never let someone be in charge for a whole day so I thought this was close enough," he said waving his hands around the hotel. He is so sweet.

What what did I tell you Maximum?

"Absolutely nothing."

I told you he felt the same, for you. But you wouldn't listen. Ignore me if you wish, but I am right.

"Thanks, and yah I will ignore you."

Fang was already standing looking uncomfortable at the front desk. It was a young girl maybe sixteen of age. Looking him over carefully taking in every detail. I walked up and hooked my arm in his and asked if he was already, yet. Angel danced up then and said, " Gazzy took Celeste! And he won't give her back I even tried to make him and nothing! Get her back please?!"

"Hey Max I can handle this I swear," Iggy said grabbing Angels arm. Walking her back over to Gazzy and Nudge. Holding Celeste behind his back, I smiled he was in on it too.

"Says the blind guy," I said turning back to Fang. He smirked and waited for the cashier to give him my card back. Gazzy showed up next tugging on my shirt.

"Yo, I don't want to room with Iggy anymore I think I want to share with Nudge," he said thinking it oveer. I wondered how Iggy had handled that sibling dispute, that had his best friend mad.

"Gaz, I don't think she'll want to share a room with you, hone"

"Okay fine then I want to share with Angel after all she is my little sister." then Angel came up next to Gazzy holing Celeste close to her side. "I mean come on I hardly get to hang out with her just us, no flock just us." He said wispering, and Angel nodded in agreement.

"And what about Nudge and Iggy they can't have their own rooms, or I doubt they'd want to share."

"They said it was fine for them to share, as long as we were happy," Gazzy and Angel said in unison. I don't think they fully caught what they just said, otherwise they just didn't care. Fang was behind me smuggling a laugh with coughs, and the girl behind the counter stared wide eyed at them. Then back and forth between me, Gazzy and Angel, and Fang.

"Um," she cleared he voice, " here are your room keys it's a master suite with three rooms, and a sitting room. There is a main bathroom to share. And then the master room has it's own bath. Have a great day," she finished with the fakest smile i've seen not on a magazine.

Fang took the keys from her hand and ushered us past waving to Iggy remembering him being blind, he called his name. People stared at us, manly because Iggy had his head turned in our direction, and never noticed us leaving.

Our room was only on the third floor so we decided to take the stairs. Naturally.

Iggy unlocked the door with our key, and as the door opened we gasped in turn. Angel and Nudge were first to run in, Total leaped from Iggy's arms, and headed in at Gazzy's heals. I grabbed izzy's hand and led him into the room.

There was four doors linked to the main room. A bathroom, and our three bedrooms. Angel grabbed Gazzy's arm and stood infront of the door with the twin beds and little TV. Iggy and Nudge looked uncomfortably over at Angel ang azzy as they rushed in their room, closest to the bathroom. Right on the other side of the bathroom door was Nudge and Iggy's room. That was the last bedroom with twin beds leaving the master bedroom to me and Fang! He opened the door and headed inside.

"Okay guys," I said loud enough for even Gazzy, Angel, and Total to hear me over the TV. "get in the shower, change into decent cloths and put your bags away, so we can get to the movies." I got a decent round of 'Okay's before Nudge rushed into the bathroom.

I walked into our room fully equiped with a tv inside a cabinet, and computer. Fang must have been in the bathroom already for he wasn't in the room. He walked into the room in only boxers, grabbing all his clothes out of his duffel bag going thru it to find decent clothes no such luck. I couldn't help but stare at his well defined body, and then I came across the scare Ari had given him, and all the pain that came because of It. He grabbed his clothes and my bag, and headed out the door.

"I hope you don't mind but i'm going to do some laundry, since we have a machine in our suite, and our clothes are – well," he looked at his hands and gave me the 'well you know' look. Before I had a chance to tell everyone to dump out their dirty clothes. Out came piles of ripped, muddied clothes.

I stifled a laugh with my hand. And headed for a hot shower. I stripped my clothes, wrapping myself in a towel. I headed to the main room, to give Fang my clothes. He was staring at the floor concentrating on something very hard. When I walked up he was watching my legs. Looking up at my stopping at something below my waist then up a little farther up not quite my face yet. Then at my face reluctantly.

"Hey Fang toss me some pants," Iggy said. Fang's eyes ripped from me momentarily staring at Iggy as if in a daze.

"Sure Ig, here," and he tossed over some clean clothes fresh out of the dryer. Iggy jumped and caught them perfectly but dropped something else. His towel fell to the floor just as Nudge stepped out of her room. A ear peircing scream ratelled the room. He reached down wrapping himself in his towel. I fell to the floor seeing much more than I need to. Especially since it wasn't Fang. I mean I didn't want to see it from anyone, else! OHMIGOD!!!

"Max, i'm so sorry it fell, it was an accident! Just out of curiousity what was it like?"

"Iggy out!!!" Fang was furious!

I got out and made my way numbly to my room. Walking into the shower I turned it on, and as soon as the steaaming water made its way over my tensed muscles I began to immediately relax. I was in for a while when I heard someones deep grunt. The curtain moved back but I couldn't move. In stepped a naked Fang. His eyes were closed his eyebrows furrowed in deep concentration, he took many deep breaths.

I reached my hand out, "Fang?" He opened his eyes abrouptly startling me. He looked at me and we both screamed.

"Max i'm sorry I didn't know you were still in here, I wasn't thinking. Or atleast not about this. I'm soo, sorry i'll leave." He turned to reach for the curtain, I put my hand over his, clenching my hand into a fist, so he couldn't move it. He turned to look at me then quickley looked away remember I was naked.

"Don't go your already in here why leave?" he gave me this look of a confused puppy cocking his head over to one side.

"Because," he started and we both made th mistake of looking down, in imbarassment. Then we looked in opposite directions. I looked back over at him, he was scrutinizing my face, intently a hard mask covering his features. "You know unless you really want me to stay?" I nodded. We watched eachother for a minute the water running down my back, and bouncing off my calfs. Making little shivers run up and down my body.

Fang took a step forward. He wrapped his arms around my waist. He pressed his chest against my breasts. We were so close I could feel his heart beat, just as arratic as mine. His hand softly moved up my back soft as a butterfly. I moved my lips tracing his jaw line. Making my way to meet his lips. He leaned down in a deep kiss. His tongue traced my bottom lip, asking for an entrance. I parted my lips, slightly, and he took that to his advantage. Our hands tracing along every part of each others body.

He got the soap and wash cloth and began to wash me, never breaking the kiss.

"Max, are you done yet?" Nudge said. "I'm ready to go and the washing machine beeped, Iggy said it wasn't broken but that our clothes were done washing. Which is good because I don't want to wear my pajamas to the movie. Hey what are we going to watch I hope it's scary!"

"Enough Nudge, i'll be out in a minute."

"Okay," I turned back to Fang when I heard the door close behind Nudge. I mouthed "I'm sorry," to and reached for the door knob. Fang still held my waist, and pulled me up for another kiss. HE grabbed my butt and sqeezed as he let me down.

"I put some of your best clothes on the bed ready for you," he said as I closed the door. I leaned my head against the door and slid to the floor. Fully aware that I was naked, in a hotel room where anyone could come in and see me.
