DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN MAXIMUM RIDE, yet

MAX POV

I could see the town in the distance, the town Fang was in. As I got closer I could see a school and kids coming out of it. That is the first place I will look.

Landed neer some trees and walked over to some kids.

"Excuse me, I am looking for my…… cousin! Nick. Do you know where I can find him?" I asked some jock. He turned around and smiled.

"Hey baby, you can find that jerk at the gas station but, come by my house later and we can party," He looked at me and winked! The nerve!

"I your dreams jackass," I said with a scowl

"Hey bitch, what's your problem?" He asked me as he raised his voice.

I closer to him and whispered," You," then punched him in the nose. I tuned and ran, in the distance I could hear his cries. Ha ha!

I stopped running and layed down by a tree to think. Okay, the jerk said I could find Fang at the gas station. I looked around and then herd a scream down the street. With my raptor vision I could make out …… a gas station. Great, I didn't make it there in time. Better go help!

I ran down the street to the building and opened the door to see Fang, some kids, and flyboys.

FANG POV

Okay, me and my friends were just drinking some pop and munching on some snacks when flyboys attacked.

How they found me? No clue. Why they were here? Don't know.

Of course I started to fight. I heard Holly scream and the door open. Who the hell comes to a gas station where a fight is talking place! Then the person started fighting too! Who the HELL is this person.

"Fang!" the person said.

OH MY GOD

"MAX!!" I yelled

"Yes, now pay attention!" she told me.

We were fighting back to back and soon the last of the flyboys were gone. We were breathing deeply but smiling like idiots at each other. God, I missed her so much! Wait, what is she doing here?

"What just happened?" Lindsey whispered. My friends were hiding behind the counter and were coming out to see the damage.

"Um well, you know those bird kids?" they nodded, "I'm Fang."

They're eyes widened.

"This is Max, and why…." I asked her

"Tell you later," she said smiling, "but we need to hurry!"

"Okay, see you later guys, to my house," I said leading the way out of the gas station and to the woods.

LINDA POV

Where is Nick

He was supposted to be back from school 2 hours ago! I heard the door open and close followed by laughter?!?!

"I did not!" I heard a girl argue.

"You did actually," I heard my son's voice.

I ran out of the kitchen and into the living room to find my son with a girl that I met a while back when she introduced me to my son. Max, that was her name!

"Hello, what is going on," I asked not wanting to be rude.

"Hi Ms. Johnson it's nice to see you again. I came here because there was some attacks and I thought it would be a good idea to check on everyone. Plus they might be back for a while," Max said

"It's true I just gat ambushed be a bunch of flyboys," My son said. He was in danger what was I going to do!

"Umm….. we are going to be upstairs," Nick says

"Max why don't you stay for dinner?" I asked her, after all she helped me find Nick

"I can't, got to keep moving," she said

"Well okay," and with that they were up stairs.

FANG POV

Me and Max ran up to my room so we could talk. I opened up my bedroom door. The walls were painted black and even in the middle of the day in summer with the sun up you still needed to turn on thelights to see anything.

"What happened?" I questioned her as we sat on my bed, in the dark across from each other.

"Well the flyboys attacked my house and then said 'we will take you one by one' so I came here first and I can't stay because I think they're going for Iggy and then Nudge and, and," Max started to get all nervous so I took her in my arms and rubbed her on the back in between her wings. I could barrly make out her faint cries.

MAX POV

Oh god, I started to cry in front of Fang. Then he did something that i didn't except, he took me in his arms and started to rub my back in between my wings. Soon my cries stopped.

"What's wrong," he asked me with concern in his voice, we were still in the dark.

"Nothing," I said, he snorted

"No really," he said getting serious.

"I don't know, I just want them to stop," I said trying to hide one fact and one fact only.

"And…" he asked. Shit! He knows me to well

"I miss you," I whispered so faint he could barrly hear me.

"I missed you too," I heard him say.

I looked up at him and he looked down at me. Then I kissed him softly on the lips and pulled away quickly.

"Better get going if I am going to warn Iggy," I said to change the subject. I stood up and went over to the door.

"I'll come with you," he said coming out of shock.

"But you mom."

"She'll understand," he said getting up.

FANG POV

"Okay meet outside," she said and she walked down stairs.

Wow! She kissed me!! Wow!

I walked down stairs to tell my mom that I was leaving for a while.

"Hay mom, gonna be gone for a while," I told her like it was no big deal.

She thought for a second then made up her mind " Fine but, call me every day."

"k, love you," and with that I was out the door. I could see max in the yard facing the other way.

I slowly and quietly walked up to her and when I was right behind I said,

"I haven't flown for a while," she jumped like a foot in the air.

"God Fang, don't give me a heart attack," she said breathing hard, "go stretch your wings."

Sighed but walked to the back yard and slowly extended them to there full length. I hurt but the wasn't the hardest part! I flapped them a few time. Then I ran across the yard and took off, it hurt but after a while it felt good to be back in the sky.

"ready," max said hovering next to me.

"Yup," I said.

"Alright let's hurry up," she said and we took off.

Tell me what you think!!! longest chapter ever so far!!
