Chapter 4-The Voice and its Advice

A/n: Woo! My official birthday! I'm 15! And I got a B in my Irish exam! And an A in History! Woo me! (Ha-ha that's that dating website that's always advertised…n'anyways) Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! I'm Irish and I've never been to the parade…how sad is that?

The long awaited relationship-----a lil bit of Fax for ya'!

Disclaimer: Hellooo? Fan-fiction? I do not own maximum ride or the original characters! James Patterson does. I do own my flock and the plot.

On with the story!

Luckily we were over Arizona so we dropped into my mom who had rushed home as soon as we took off. Of course there were hugs, chocolate chip cookies, hugs and…..more cookies. I would never take my mom for granted.

"Your co-ordinates, Max." The voice reminded me.

"Oh yeah". I replied.

We left the flock there and Fang and I took off to scout for remaining flyboys and to check out the voices co-ordinates which were only 80 miles away.

There were no flyboys around that we could see so on to step number 2. As we were flying I wondered what was so special out here in the sparse brush and Sandstone Mountains that the Voice wanted me to see.

"It is special Max" the Voice said.

"Speak of the devil, hello Voice; wanna tell me why you're sending me here?" I didn't expect an answer-the Voice never answered a direct question. It will never stop surprising me though

"You're here to work on your relationships Max," it told me" with a good relationship there is no confusion, no holding you back thus helping you save the world."

"How do relationships help me save the world?!" The voice never displayed emotion but I swear I heard it chuckle.

"Trust me Max it will all work out and you'll see."

I couldn't question it anymore because we had arrived at our destination: a cave set into the sandstone cliff. It brought me back to the last time Fang and I were in a cave alone. I pushed the thought away.

"It wants us to go in there." I didn't look at Fang.

"Ok. "He replied calmly.

"Voice?" I thought/asked.

"Stay here for the night Maximum" I blinked at my full name." It will all become clear soon."

We coasted lower in ever diminishing circles and landed in the cave. It was warm and dry and open to the sky which was growing darker every second, stars twinkling on the outskirts of the suns feeble rays of light. It was quickly night.

"We should start a fire." Fang said. I nodded. I guess he was remembering the last time too.

A half an hour later we were eating pot noodles and ravioli. Mom had given us some food for our little expedition. I sat down, with my back against the cavern wall. Fang came to sit next to me.

I froze.

Déjà vu. This was exactly like last time. I tensed and swallowed not looking at him.

"Max."He said. I didn't look up." you're remembering." It wasn't a question it was a fact. He knew. Crap.

Major understatement.

"Max?" He said again. This time I looked up. Wrong decision. I couldn't look away. His eyes were like black holes, sucking me in.

"Max, I…"He never finished. He leaned over and took my hand in his scarred and calloused hand. It felt surprisingly ,NO,NO,NO! But I couldn't do anything. I was just frozen.

He leaned in.

"Relationships Max." The Voice chimed in. This was not happening.

He leaned in farther.

Our faces were inches apart. My heart was pounding and my eyes I knew were wide like a deer caught in the headlights.

Farther.

To kiss me?

A/n: Cliffy!!!! Ooh I know I'm evil! Read and review and there shall be more Fax.

I can make it happen!

Fly on,

S'later ppl!!!
