Chapter 4
(Fang's POV)
A week went by without much craziness. They discovered my power was to teleport anywhere I wanted as long I knew that exact spot. If I could see it in my mind I could go there. I liked freaking out people by teleporting somewhere really quickly and disappearing again. I liked to freak out Bella by suddenly appearing in front of her and disappearing again, but Edward usually got annoyed with me when I did that to her so I stopped.
I hardly saw the flock. I often took long flights in the sky, because ever since I woke up they were healed. I was flying right now. I just flew slowly across the sky in a wide circle. I sighed, the world held no happiness for me any more. The flock seemed to avoid me like the plague, yet they showed up where I was and were always happy to see me.
I shot across the sky before I landed in a forest. I had been told the where the lines were, but I wasn't entirely sure where they were just that they were near here. I sighed and sat on the ground, little did I know that I was actually sitting on the line, I wrapped my arms around my legs and lay my head on my knees.
I just sat there breathing deeply and trying not to go hysterical and do that stupid crying without any tears thing we vampires do. Suddenly a sandy coloured blob moved in the distant. I watched it approach. It was a wolf, a huge wolf mind you.
I sniffed and looked at it as it walked right up to me. I looked into its black, yet, somehow, intelligent eyes. We watched each other for a moment. "You lost?" I asked and I felt like an idiot for talking to a wolf. The wolf surprised me by shaking its head slightly. "So, are you some lone wolf then?" I asked feeling completely idiotic now but somehow it was comforting to talk to the wolf. Edward said wolves smell bad to vampires but I smelt nothing. It held no smell for me. I wondered I was the same for the wolves. The wolf tilted its head to the side.
For some reason that I didn't know my hand reached up and my fingers touched the wolf's fur. The wolf moved slightly away from my fingers. I sighed, "I feel like a total idiot for talking to a wolf. It's not like you can understand what I am saying, but I really screwed up here." I said in almost a whisper.
The wolf watched me. I decided to continue, "I mean, come on, I'm a vampire and the flock are humans… well avian hybrids, and I can't deal with them avoiding me like this. It hurts to see them worried that I'm going to attack them. It's not my fault." I muttered and the wolf gave a low sympathetic whimper.
I stood suddenly and the wolf jumped back. "It's not fair!" I shouted suddenly. "I didn't choose this!" I roared and picked up a rock. I threw it with all my strength at a tree. As soon as the rock made impact the tree snapped and fell. I yelled with fury and pain before I fell to my knees and started that stupid vampire crying thing we do.
I looked at the wolf who sat watching me with sad eyes. I sighed and sat down and I felt calm again. "I mean, I may look older, but I'm only 14. I never got to be a kid and I was looking forward to just chilling out at the Cullen's house. Then this happened." I muttered and I put my face on my knees and wrapped my arms around my legs.
The wolf gave another sympathetic whimper and nudged me with its nose. I looked up and sighed, "Is it stupid that I want to know everything about you? I mean you're a wolf, but I want to know if you got family or other wolf friends." I laughed softly. "I've got friends, but no family. Well, I guess, the flock is my family, but they can't get close to me anymore." I said and the wolf licked my skin, but then it made a face. "I guess I taste pretty nasty huh?" I laughed, "Sorry, I'd gladly let you eat me, because I'm so miserable, but I can't do that to Max. She's the only reason I live, but she can't get anywhere near me so now I just wish I could disappear." I sighed.
I heard rustling in the trees and 3 wolves came out of no where. I sighed and got up. "I guess that's my queue to leave huh? Well, at least you have family," I muttered to the wolf who sat right beside me. "At least you can be happy." I said before I got up and turned to leave.
I heard a growl from behind me, the wolf to the left of the leader, the biggest and black wolf, had growled at me and got ready to pounce.
The two other wolves, the big black one and the slightly smaller russet wolf, growled at the wolf.
The sandy one that had sat with me was suddenly on its feet and looked like he was ready to fight the one wolf if necessary. I looked at the scene with confusion.
Then I noticed a wire wrapped around each other their left back ankles and shorts in them. I frowned before the sandy wolf ran off and the three backed up into the bush.
Suddenly a tall sandy haired boy ran through the trees. He was wearing the shorts that were in the sandy wolves wire thing. I could see the wire attached to his ankle. The others came back too. Jacob was there, I'd heard about him trying to convince the Cullens to kill me because it wasn't right for me to suffer like that. I was still undecided about if I should be mad at him or not.
The other two boys I didn't recognize. The boy on the left looked angry but trying to repress it.
"Why can't you guys just leave him alone?" The sandy haired boy asked a look of pain and sadness on his face.
"He's a vampire, why are you being nice to him Seth?" The boy on the left snarled.
"Because, Paul, I know what it's like to feel the way he feels! He's only 14! Give him a freaking break!" Seth shouted at them.
Jacob was silent, he just watched me and I just stood there feeling upset and alone. I also felt a little confused but I understood now.
The two boys seem to vibrate until the biggest boy that I didn't know shouted, "Seth! Paul!" They looked at him, Seth's eyes were pleading, but Paul's held anger in them.
I was sick of them acting like I wasn't here, "Hey!" I shouted, "Can someone explain to me what the hell is going on?" I asked feeling ticked off.
They all looked at me. "You don't want to hurt us, right?" Seth asked me.
"Why would I want to hurt you?" I asked with a frown.
"You just feel lost and you don't want to go home where everyone treats you like you're made of china and if they piss you off or hurt your feelings you'll explode at them. They avoid you because they reason it's for your and their protection and they don't care how much it hurts you to feel abandoned by the people you've loved for so long, right?" Seth asked a feeling I couldn't understand in his eyes.
I raised an eyebrow, "How did you know?" I asked with look of confusion.
Seth looked back at the others with a superior look. The oldest boy shook his head, "Sam," Seth said as he started to beg.
"Look bloodsucker, just go home, okay?" The oldest boy, Sam, said.
I looked him strait in the eyes and I realized my hands were shaking, "My name is FANG!" I screamed at him suddenly feeling a strange rush of anger, "F-A-N-G! My name is not bloodsucker!" I yelled, "I don't want to be a bloodsucker! I just want to be me! The avian freak I am!" I yelled at them.
They all stared at me with a look of shock. I felt sad again, "Did you choose to be a werewolf? I don't think so, so why are you treating me like I chose this life? That I want to be any of this? My whole life, the things that have happened to me, nothing is my choice. Everything is someone else telling me what to do, how to be, how to think, how to act, how to talk, how to fly. I'm sick of it! I just want to be a normal kid in a normal world! Not a vampire or a kid with wings! I just want… I just want to be human." I said looking at the ground, "Is that so much to ask?" I asked looking up at him.
They looked awkward. "Look, I'm sorry," Sam said, "It's just… nature to me. I didn't mean to offend you." He said still looked awkward.
I sighed, "Its fine, I just… you at least got a childhood. At least some part of it anyways. I-" I stopped, "Why am I telling you this?" I asked suddenly. I sighed, "I got to go. The Cullen's will be worried." I said with a scowl before I turned to walk away.
I hadn't noticed Paul getting steadily angrier. "You're just going to let him leave!?" He suddenly shouted. I looked back and he glared at me, "No one wants to be around you," he growled at me. The breath caught in my throat. "The flock will leave you. You can't stop it, they will leave because they know it's better for them and when they do I hope I get to see your miserable face." He snarled.
I glared back, "I don't doubt that you'll get to see that face," I spat back and walked away. I glanced back one last time before I snapped open my wings and took off. I heard three people make noises of surprise. I flew across the sky and I could feel the pain in my dead heart pounding through my ribs as if it were my heartbeat.
(Max's POV)
I called a meeting with the flock. I paced in front of them, "Even though it pains me to say this… this isn't working. We all know it isn't." I said and they nodded sadly. "So, do we keep trying or… do we leave?" I asked my voice breaking only once. They were silent, "Raise your hand for keep trying." I said and I watched them. They all looked sad. "Raise your hand for… leaving." I choked out and I raised my hand regrettably. The flock all raised their hands.
I nodded and whispered, "Get your stuff." I didn't really want to leave but I was hurting Fang. He needed an environment where he could live and not be trying not to kill me every second. Sure I loved him, I knew that now, but I couldn't hurt him like this anymore. I wiped my eyes and went to get packed.
We were walking down the stairs with our packs when Alice came out of no where. "You guys can't leave!" She said with a light of fear in her eyes.
"I'm sorry Alice." I muttered, "Tell Fang I'm sorry and that he can live his life now. It's for the best."
Alice stared at me with a look of pain and like I was missing something important. "Max! You guys are his life!" She yelled but we were already moving past her. "Please, Max, I can't find him. He wont show up when I try to find him, I can't see him at all, I'm worried." She said trying to get me to stay.
"Alice, please don't make this worse that it already is." I muttered and opened my wings. The flock all had tears falling from their eyes as we took off. I wiped away mine but they just kept coming back.
"Max?" Angel asked once we were in the air.
"Yes?"
"We'll come back to visit right?" She asked tears falling from her eyes.
I nodded, "Yes, we will." I said and I knew it was true. I looked at the Cullen's house one last time. I'll come back for you, I thought before I looked forward and we started flying away.
(Fang's POV)
I arrived home, I guess that's what it's called now, and pushed open the door. The Cullens looked upset and I looked at them all, "What?" I asked.
"Where were you?" Alice said and she looked worried, "I couldn't see you at all."
"I ran into Seth Clearwater and we talked, that's all." I said and I knew there was something else. "What's wrong? Where's the flock?" I asked.
They all looked awkward. "Fang, you might want to sit down." Carlisle said.
"No, I don't want to sit down, where is the flock?" I asked again a steel edge in my voice.
They all looked at each other before Carlisle said, "I'm so sorry, they left."
I sucked in a breath and nodded. "Okay," I said and put on my emotionless face. Inside I was shattering, I felt like convulsing and curling up on the floor and just dying. Suddenly it broke through my shell and I fell to the ground. The Cullen's were around my in a second. I curled into a ball and I just lay there crying without crying.
I felt two cold hands lift me off the ground and suddenly I was in my room. Edward set me down on the bed that was in my room. Unlike the other Cullen's if there was nothing better to do I liked to lay in a bed all night reading. Edward glanced at me one last time before leaving the room.
The next few months were hell. I hardly moved. I just lay on down somewhere and just listened to music at top volume. Today I was on the floor of my bedroom and music was pounding out of my stereo.
I heard a pounding on the door and Alice entered. "Turn it down! You can listen to it at any volume and you'll hear it! So why top volume!" She yelled angrily over the music. I just watched her. She glared slightly and walked away. She purposefully didn't shut the door, which I hate. I glared at the door as if commanding it to close.
Bella walked by my room walked in turned off the music. I groaned and curled into a tight ball.
"Come on," Bella said poking me in the ribs, "Come on, get up, you got to go hunt." She said smiling.
"Leave me alone," I moaned.
She sighed, "Don't make me get Edward." She threatened.
Edward was now pretty much my mentor. For some weird reason when he or Carlisle asked me to do something I actually did it when I wouldn't even move for other people.
I glared at her, "I'm not moving." I said looking her in the eyes.
She sighed and glared down at me. "Edward!" She called and he was the door in a second. I was pretty sure by now that this had been all planned.
"Come on Fang, Emmett, Rose, Jasper, Alice, Bella and I are going hunting and you're coming, no excuses." He said in that stern voice of his. I groaned and rolled under my bed like I did when I really didn't want to do something. Like right now. "Come on Fang. Esme is worried about you. So are the others come on, you're going hunting. Right. Now." Edward said grabbing my leg and pulling me out from under the bed. I grumbled in annoyance as he dragged me down the stairs.
"Is the seventh member of the party accounted for?" Alice asked happily.
"Eighth member of the party is accounted for!" Bella called happily. I glared at them. Bella had told me once she knew the kind of pain I was in. That Edward had left her once, and he regretted beyond anything, but she was always trying to make me happy, because she said that when he left she realized she didn't have to be upset all the time. Her father had merely asked her not to be happy, just not miserable. So she tried and she discovered that if she found the right person she could be a little less upset around them.
They all ran into the forest and Edward pulled me, by the hand, along with them.
We finally stopped and I sat down on a log and sulked, as usual. They all gave me sad glances before running off. All except one, Rosalie had stayed.
Rosalie had grown to like me a little… I think. She came and sat next to me and just sighed. "You know, Fang, you're only hurting yourself by acting like this." She said, "Sure we feel bad for you, but only you are the one that is suffering. I want to know, why are you so miserable? Explain it. Describe it." She said with such sincerity it hurt.
"I miss her, that's all, I just miss them. I can't get over what Paul said either. He said that they'd leave and I didn't really believe him." I said.
"Are you talking about that time where you ran into the werewolves before you came home and… ya?" Rose asked. I nodded. She growled under her breath, "Stupid dogs, anything else?" She asked.
I sniffed, "I don't want to be a monster anymore. I have always been a freak. I don't want to be one anymore." I said.
Rosalie sighed, "I know the feeling, but sometimes you just got to live with what you got. You just got to survive sometimes and there's nothing you can really do about it." She said trying to comfort me. "So are you just going to waste away in your room or are you going to be like the rest of us and try to make something out of yourself?" She asked me.
I stood up, "Thanks Rose. I really appreciate the talk." I said and I was hit with a wave of thirst. "I got to go hunt. I'm starving." I muttered and took off into the air. Rosalie grinned and ran through the trees.
I realized something just then. Did I just get good advice from Rosalie I asked myself with a feeling of astonishment. That is seriously messed.
