"It's the Voice, isn't it?" Fangs voice had an extra tone of fear that I noted was new. So, to add to the suspense of the moment, I just nodded. "What does it want?"
"It wants us to stay alive."
"We should take Angel…"
"NO! The Voice said I will need her!"
"So, now the Voice is preferred over me?"
"No… it's just…"
"Just what?"
"Why do you have to be so… so… stubborn and hotheaded?" I regretted those words as soon as they flew out of my mouth to hover in the air, already thick with tension.
"Well, I don't think you're doing a better job of not being stubborn." And with those final, stinging words, he stumbled out of the cave to be met by Iggy, who carried him off.
Do you ever have that moment when you wish you could just stick your foot in your mouth or go back and do something different? Imagine that moment times three and you get what I just had there: me and Fangs first fight that didn't end up with us making out.
"What was that?" Angel asked, acting all innocent.
"You heard it!" I snapped at her.
"Sorry, trying to act like an average little sister, here. I can't help having powers."
"Just go… see if you can sense anything nearby. Tell me later."
"You need time to think, so you want my brain to be concentrated on something else so you can."
"No, I need time to think and try to block Fang out of my head, so you don't get any mature scenes played out in that little 'naïve' head of yours."
"Ok!" She skipped over to the inside of the cave, all happy and chipper. I snorted. Now to contact the voice.
