VENTING AND A SUDDEN SURPRISE
Fang's P.O.V
As Iggy and I near the house we see all the lights on and the Flock, including Ella, scurrying around. Max is pissed…
Iggy and I slow our speed and gracefully drop from the sky and land in the back yard.
"They're here!" Angel screams back in the house. She stares at us. "Good luck guys, Max is overly angry with you guys, specifically you Fang." She stares at me and I sigh heavily.
Max appears with red eyes, disheveled hair and makeup. That's a first…
"Where the hell were you guys?" Max glares at Iggy and then me.
"We went out for a fly. What's the problem with that?" Iggy speaks, annoyed.
"The problem is neither of you left a note, told anyone where you were going or anything! I had to call Angel back from her sleepover to see if she could find you with her thoughts. I was worried, we were worried. Fang, how could you guys just fly off, especially since this is a new area and Iggy-"
Max was cut off mid-sentence. "Max shut your fucking mouth! Why must you treat me like I'm some little kid who can't make it on their own? I've been through as many fights as you have, I have not been killed. I've managed to make highly dangerous explosives with Gazzy without either of us being blown up. I'm the best damn cook there is in this family! So please explain to me why you are so damn protective over me! I am not fragile!" Iggy finishes his speech breathing heavily and almost in tears.
Max looks stunned and taken aback by Iggy's outburst. I just stand there and watch her reaction along with the Flock's.
"Iggy…I'm sorry, I just… I'm the leader and it's my job to take care of the Flock. I was just trying to protect you."
Iggy relaxes some, but says still annoyed. "Thanks, but no thanks, I'm fine, I don't need any special protection." He spreads his wings and jumps into the sky and takes off.
"Iggy!" Max spreads her wings to take off after him, but I stop her.
"Let him go. He's strong; he'll be back once he cools off."
"You knew. You knew he was upset with us." She accuses me.
"Not really. I only found out after all of you guys were gone and he was angry and moping around the house. He did his venting and yelling to me earlier today." I walk away and head up towards the room.
I take off my clothes and walk into the bathroom turning the hot water on. I step inside and let the water wash over my back and wings, allowing my muscles to relax. There is a knock at the bathroom door.
"Yes?"
"It's me dear, let me in." Max's voice whispers through the door.
I get out of the shower and unlock the door then walk back to the shower. Max grabs my wrist and yanks me towards her smashing her lips against mine and shoving her tongue into my mouth. My eyes widen in shock and surprise.
I push her away. "What the fuck?"
