Me:Well, I'm not safe, they found me. Max is so upset, and so screwed up now. Dont you wish you had Fang and Iggy fighting over you? I do. Well, no. they say. They'd rather fight WITH me.

Fang: Damn straight!
Iggy: Uh Huh.
Max: God, I feel lightheaded. Fang: Dont worry, Ive got you.
Iggy: I dont! Now, you people*points finger slightly off center* read that!*points off center again*

Me: Whut? He ish blind! XDDD Hey, if I'm not exactly on center with the story thus far, i'm sorry. I have no excuse for why I haven't done anything with this lately. But i'm tryin, lovies! Dont forget, only Angel loves you like fat kids love chocolate. After all, we're tighter than a fat dude in spandex. I'm done now.

Me:P.S again, there's lots of cussing in here. Like, your mama would kill ya if you're reading this and she's in your house. Just a warning.

I'm so VERY sorry, but there are spoilers from MAX(da 5th bookie!) in this chapter. Not big ones, but if you're a TRUE fan, you read it as soon as it came out, right? After all, we fangirls have no lives.
Well, I mean...I don't. NOW READ!

________________________________________

IGGY POV ____________-
So after deciding that Max would be mine and Fang would have to take it like a man, I plotted in my head. It wasn't long before Angel snuck in and asked me:
"Iggy, why do you like Max? Why do you want to take her away from Fang"
"Damn it Angel. I just do, and I will. Get out of my head...I'm not in the mood"
"Okay, Ig. Please dont make Max or Fang mad. If one of you guys got hurt, I dont know how we'd take it, after that thing with Fang"
I remembered back to when Fang nearly died on the beach. I felt Angel leave my head quietly, leaving a little feeling in the back of my head like someone else was in my mind. I hit my head against a shelf(silently), and stumbled backward. Damned Angel made me hit my head to stop me.

Nothing was gonna stop me from having Max.

FANG POV _______________
She'd passed out. Again. What had HAPPENED?

Max looked so beautiful, cradled under my head, her hair falling slightly in her face. Iggy was giving me the stink eye. Jerk probably knocked her out himself.

Shit, I thought. I'm jealous.....

That didn't make sense. Iggy didn't like Max. Well, as far as I knew. Max didn't like Iggy....as far as I knew. Plus, weren't Max and I an item....I've already said that!

My thoughts were some mangled up crap right now. We took off in the park where we'd landed, me holding Max. When I'd alternate carrying her with Iggy, I just glared. You know, the pissed-off, I'll-Kill-You-You-Mother-Effer look? That one. But he beamed like the effi-ya know what? He beamed like the fucking sun shined out his pale, skinny white ass.

Her light, unbarfed chocolate eyes(That's a thing from MAX) were sparkling with the glint of the sun. The slight curl of her hair had become a little unruly. She eventually woke up in my arms. Iggy glared at me like I was the reincarnation of satan. I smiled, which seemed to surprise him.

"Uh....Fang"
"Yeah, Max"
"Why the HELL are you holding me"
I grinned a Fang-grin. Those came more often, didn't they?"Didn't we talk about cussing in front of the kids"
"Shut up. You act like we're married"

There was an idea. The other boys, escpecially Iggy, looked horrified. Nudge and Angel seemed on board. But they kept their mouths shut.

She looked down, barrel-rolling out of my arms, flinging her wings out. She was going to hurt herse-Stop, Fang. You aren't her dad. You aren't her husband. Hell, you couldnt even get her to be your girlfriend!

But I wished she was.

MAX POV ____________________________

"If I pass out again..." I began.

"Yeah, yeah. FANG'S in charge." Iggy muttered. Fang grinned again. He was too happy lately.

He was in charge alot, wasn't he?"Nope. Iggy's in charge."

"Bu-""NO." I said, cutting Fang off. "Who is the leader? Me. Who makes the rules? Me. You always take over. Iggy this time. Poor guy must feel like a....kid....."

That sentence flooded me with memories. My first kiss with Fang. The first REAL kiss. Iggy's kiss. SHIT! When had Ig-At Circuit City. I remembered his power, and as he just took me over....me blacking out.

"WHAT THE FUCKING HELL, IGGY!" I shouted, immediately covering my mouth. I didn't think I'd ever used that one before, because Gazzy was trying it out. He stopped at my glare. Iggy looked at me, unseeing eyes huge. "What"
"You know what. You mother effer. You effing son-of-a-bitch"
Gazzy tried that one too. Wow, I didn't cuss much around them, did I? Pat your back later, Max, I reminded myself.
"What, Max! What"
"You fucking kissed me. Well, more attacked!" I shot. "He.....what?" Fang said, anger appaering on his face. I heard Total, who hadn't really done much lately, poke his head out of Fangs bag and say:
"Ooo! Catfight!"

Nudge and Angel grabbed Total, before Fang or Iggy could wring his neck. They shushed him, and covered his mouth. Gazzy held back with them, as we landed in some deserted stretch of trees. We sent the kids to a nearby cave, preferring to fight this out alone.

Fang went first, staring Iggy down."You kissed Max"
"What? It's not like she's YOURS"
"I am mine!" I said, stopping their argument.

"Max. Let us handle this." Fang growled. I was a little scared. It was like a panther had growled at me, but there was actually a.....sexy appeal to it, you know? Like, he was saying that we were together, and that was the way it was. And for a moment, I thought, "Hm, maybe Fang wouldn't be that bad if he owned me." Then it was clear that that WAS NOT a choice.

"Hey, you two. Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Over here." I braced myself. What was WITH Fang? It was like he was posessed...and Iggy, with his sudden liking me.... I went off on a strain of profanity in my head. And to add to the flies in the ointment, the Voice chimed in.

"Max. You need to choose. This is a normal teenage girl thing"
"There is nothing FUCKING normal about this, Jeb"
"I'm not Jeb. You need to decide. These two boys are fighting OVER YOU. Pick one....because picking neither would be even MORE hazardous to all of you."

He/She/It/Pest had a point. If I didn't pick one, it could get worse. But you know me.....I'm Maximum Ride! When things get tough, I turn to Fang. But that was out, so like in all those other situations, I spread my wings fully, and took off.

FANG POV ____________-
Max had flown away. I was stunned. Then something overtook me, and I was screaming from the back of my mind at something possessing me.
I grabbed Iggy's ankle, flipping him over. "No." My possessor uttered. "What, Fang"
"No..." Not Me but me(We'll call him Not Me) twisted Ig's ankle. "What the hell got in to you, sir-pissed-off"
"Don't touch....MY MAX"
I....Not Me got very scary after that. Like, imagine my pissy face.... But with a cat's narrow pupils. And bloodred eye coloring instead of that chocolate color Max always says I have(Yes, I read the books. Yes, she should be embarassed) Not Me's voice got deep as a ship's foghorn. I felt huge fangs grow on Not Me's teeth, and Not Me looked Iggy in the eyes.

Suddenly Iggy's eyes were unclouded, but only long enough so his new, seeing eyes could see Not Me get really, REALLY effing pissed. "Max. Is. Mine. Not yours. Not even hers. She is MINE"
Then I had control again. I dropped Ig's ankle. His eyes couldn't see again, they had clouded back over.

Both of us said "What the fuck just happened?"

________________________________________

Me:Ooooh! Cliffie! Well, the flock is really angry at me now, but not only because Max just unwillingly introduced two new cuss words to our favorite junior pyro cadet, but also because she found out Fang reads the books!

Max: God, I'm so pissed at you.*Glare at Me, then Fang*
Fang: What the hell happened to me?*blink*
Iggy: I want Tess back. But seeing was cool.
Max: I don't have words for what I'll do to you.

Me:As you can see, this'll be fun....Hehehehe.
Max(Joined by Fang and Iggy): TIME TO DIE!*Has spear in-hand*
Me: SHIT!
Gaz, Angel and Nudge: Wow, that's a lot of blood.*stare*.....Bye!

And I know what you're thinking. It's true. I have no life. =)
