Well, I was trying to send this to one of my beta readers on my phone, and it kept sending random black boxes instead of words in some places. So... Yeah. I had to type it up. :/

Which meant you guys got to read it sooner!

So it's kinda good. Kinda bad, because I didn't really have time to work out any fails. I had a little bit, but not much.

ANYWAY, here's chapter 3!


FANG POV

"Fang!" I heard July's voice yell out, almost panicked.

"July?" I called, standing up from where I was sitting around the fire. Mini stood as well, starting towards her voice, and I grabbed her arm, stopping her.

"Help! You're revengeful girl- Sorry! OW! EX-girlfriend is trying to kill me!" I then stopped myself.

Wait. What?

I started jogging towards her voice, when I saw them.

Max, holding a knife to July's throat, exchanging words that weren't so friendly.

"Bitch, get you hands off of me!"

"Max?" She instantly dropped July, and turned towards me. Her eyes widened, showing anger, sadness, and overall, relief. She stepped closer to me, still holding the knife.

"...Who. Is. She." She jerked the knife at July. She gasped, jumping back.

"I can explain." I said slowly. "Just... put down the knife." She slowly set it down on the ground. Then, she ran at me, and brought me into a big hug. Still being weary, I hugged her back, missing her smell, missing the way her body fit perfectly against mine. I felt her tears rolling down my shirt, so I looked up at July.

"Give us a minute." She glared at me, but nodded, huffing and puffing off towards camp.

And then we were alone.

Her face looked up at mine, tear-stained and angry. "Explain everything. Now." I sighed, and took her hand, leading her father away from camp. She held mine tightly, like she was afraid I was going to leave her again.

Eventually we found a log to sit on, and were far enough away from camp for my liking, so I sat down, and pulled her into my arms. She scooted farther away.

And so, I explained everything. About why I left, about the new flock, about each flock member and why I chose them. July was a great leader, and probably would have a flock of her own one day. She did well in the areas I lacked, like... talking. Mini was small, and could get in and out of areas without being noticed. And, she didn't eat much, so that was a plus. Kool-aid was our bomb and/or explosives expert. She liked booms, and so did we, especially when they were blowing up bad people on our trail, which happened even more often than when I was in Max's flock. Tyran was the Nudge of the flock, with some major ADHD problems, but a weird knack of knowing random facts when you needed them the most.

When I finished, she scooted closer to me.

"So... this is where you've been? Finding others like us?" I nodded, taking her hand into mine.

"Max-" I started, but she interrupted me by pressing her lips to mine. What was an innocent kiss turned into some serious face sucking, and eventually, someone cleared their throat in the distance. She pulled away quickly, her breath uneven and rushed, and a deep scarlet highlighting her face. I turned around, and saw Mini "awwwe"-ing, Tyran smirking, July seething (Seriously. What was her problem?), and Kool-aid, giggling and covering her eyes.

"I missed you." she said, softly. I turned back around and smiled softly.

"I missed you, too."

"So," Tyran said, walking closer, and the rest of the flock walking behind him. "Are you going to introduce us to this beautiful lady, or are we going to have to introduce ourselves?"

"Actually..." Max muttered.

I gave her a weird look.

"Are you... coming back?" she whispered. I saw the pain in her eyes, and couldn't bring myself to say no. I knew this would happen if we ever saw each other again. I sighed.

"Yes."


So... next chappie, the new flock introduces itself... In the form of Iggy POV. (:

Hope you liked it! Still kinda short, but a little longer.

Review?
