"I signed us up for a karaoke thing." Nudge starts rambling, just as she finished her mouth full. The little kids wanted Maccas, so that's where we ending up, eating all there food. I, by myself, ordered five large meals, with another three burgers, two drinks and four desserts. They got a bit shocked when I moved away for the others to order. "We have to sing about something from our life, and I thought fighter would be a great song. Or because of you. But of course, the guys can't sing in it, so it would just be us three. It's for tomorrow, just a lunch entertainment thing. I think there's a prize. Ipod or something. How cool is that…" Iggy put his lips on Nudges to stop the noise.
"Yeah, we have lunch then too." Angel says, replying to a thought. Do I really have to do this? More attention is horrible. I know the songs and all, but god. "Max! It will be awesome." Comes Angels reply. Damn mind reader.
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
"Bed guys." I commanded as we step through the door. "No complaining." I say before any mouths are opened. Four pairs of feet are heard as they run up the stairs.
"And when are we going to bed." Fang whispers in my ear as arms wrap around my waist. I feel a shiver go down my spine. "Because I know I'm not ready to sleep." He nips my ear, as I melt into his embrace.
"I heard that!" Screams Iggy. Disentangling myself from Fangs arms I head up to tuck in Angel and Gaz.
"Night guys." I say, walking into there rooms. I abruptly stop, seeing a very cute sight. Both of them in one of the beds, Gaz comforting Angel, it looked. But they had obviously fallen asleep. Giving each a quick kiss on there heads, I back out of the room. A quick tap on the next door saying night and I head into the last room.
"Fang?" I whisper, not wanting to disturb the others. The room's simple. Black double bed, something I demanded from my father. He thought that I shouldn't be with Fang. He also thought that it would be good for my child hood to be in a cage. But back to the room. The beds black, walls a deep red and the floor is wood. To the left you have the ensuite. In front of the bed, on the wall are two dressers full of clothes. But in none of these places was Fang.
Walking over to the dresser I strip off the top and shorts. Looking through the dresser I find one of Fangs tops, perfect to sleep in. Lifting it over my head something stops me. I feel it being pulled away. Fang. "I don't think this is needed." He chuckles in my ear. I spin around but don't see him.
"Fang, show yourself." I command into the open space. Something pushes up against me, forcing my back into the dresser.
"I don't think so." He whispers in my ear, as a hand suddenly grabs my head, smashing his lips to mine. A hand rubs on my thigh, working itself upwards. I moan into his mouth as his hand lands on my core. His lips leave mine, as they travel along my jaw. "Baby, your already wet." His whisper is husky and low. I give another low moan as his fingers pull off my panties and push inside me. He turns me around so I'm against his naked chest. "I had to see these." His free hand roughly grabs ones of my breasts. "Bouncing around while you ran today. Do you know how hard it was not to take you then." He gives a low growl before taking off my bra.
"Fang…" I sigh, as he thrusts another finger in. He takes them out and I whimper at the loss. I feel his erection push against my back and I grind against it. He moves away and I turn around, trying to find him, to no prevail. I give a small squeak as he suddenly pushes into me. He covers my lips with his as he starts thrusting. A moan escapes as he sucks on my bottom lip.
"Max." He growls into my ear. "Cum for me." Trying to stifle my scream I bite Fangs neck. I grind against him, riding out the orgasm. He slips out of me, bringing me into his arms.
"I love you." I yawn out as he places me on the bed. He slides in with me, bringing his arms around my waist.
"I love you too."
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
"Max! Fang! Iggy got a new power!" Comes a shriek from above me. Something starts bouncing on the bed.
"Nudge, Angel, let us get dressed." Comes Fangs sleepy voice. I just snuggle into his chest more, trying to block out all the noise. The kid's footsteps are heard as they run out the room. "School time sleeping beauty." He whispers on my lips. I reach up a bit, trying to reach them, but he moves away.
"No fair." I grumble, searching for them again. He starts tickling me suddenly. "Stop!" I laugh out, trying to catch my breath. My eyes fly open to see a naked Fang above me. He keeps tickling. "I'm up!" I shriek, pushing him off. Pushing myself out of bed, the smell of bacon hits my nose. Searching through the dressers I chuck on my panties, bra, singlet and shorts. I grab an over sized top and slid it on as I run down the stairs.
"Pancakes?" I question, seeing three big plates of it. Pancakes are more a celebration food.
"Yeah! Max, Fang, Iggy got a new power last night! It's so cool. He can control sound. I don't know how it works but he can lower a sound and make it louder. He can also make it so just certain people here stuff. How cool is that. He tried…" Gaz slaps a hand over Nudges mouth. I grab a plate, piling pancakes and bacon on it, before sitting down across from Nudge. Fang sits next to me.
"How? When?" I ask around a mouth full. A big smile becomes pronounced on Iggys face. Suddenly Angel bursts out laughing. Not a good sign.
"Well…" He starts off. "Last night someone was being a touch loud so I wanted to not hear it. Then the sound just stopped." At this I turn into Fangs chest to hide my blush. The other four burst out laughing. They start to dull down, and then suddenly stop. I look up to see them all still laughing, but the sound gone. Wow.
"Wow." Says a shocked Total. "When do I get a power?"
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
Walking out of the classroom I follow the crowd. Apparently we're all heading towards the gym. They set up a mini stadium with mikes there. Great fun. "Max!" Yells a little voice I love.
"Baby, come here." I say out loud. A few people give me curious stares, but they drop as soon as Angel jumps into my arms. I look at her and Gaz. "You two need to be back by the end of lunch. Got it?" I ask. They give sure nods.
"Max." Nudge says, spotting me. "Come on. We need to go that way." She points towards a door. "That's where the singers go. Come on. The guys aren't coming."
"God luck sweetie." Whispers Fang as he kisses my forehead. An aww comes from Angel and Nudge. Before I can say anything Angel and Nudge pull me away and into the door. Apparently they set everything up so that once your name was called you walked out of the locker room and onto stage. A small TV was set up so we could watch the performances.
"First up are Lauren and Jessica with Fergalicious." A woman announced. "Who are you dedicating this song too?" She said into the mike. A died blonde and curly brown head walked up to the stage.
"Well me!" Squeaked the Blonde. They grabbed the mike as they started. I would tell you how it went, but I was on the ground laughing. They would be the plastics of the school, with the two short clothes and nasally voice's.
"Now we have Max, Krystal and Ariel with Because of you and Fighter." The woman said, as the three of us walked on stage. Looking out at the audience I saw the whole of the high school. I searched for a second before my eyes fell on black ones. I give a relieved smile at the boys. "Who are you dedicating this two?" At that a mike was given to each of us, the girls on each side of me.
"I won't name names." I started. If I named him then that wouldn't be a good thing. Nothing good ever happens giving your true name. "But this man is someone that my whole fl-family knows. This would also be to a few others around him." The flock knew that I was talking about Itex. "I would also like to dedicate this to my brother, for he would be here today with me if he could." At that I felt a large clump stuck in my throat. Ari's a sensitive subject. The flock knew him when he was a child, and then after a few years we came back to him being a monster. But he fought through that and for the last few months he was with me.

At the end of this I look up at the three boys. Each of them has pain written across their faces. No one will ever know how much that song really means to us. That song describes so much, but still, it doesn't have everything we have been through. A round of applause erupts after a second. Turning to each of the girls I give a smile.
"Baby, don't cry." I whisper to Angel, wiping away her tears. "Where safe now." She gives me a big smile as her tears stop.
"Thank you!" Shouts Nudge, her eyes also sparkle with unshed tears. "The next song is Fighter. It would be dedicated to the same man. The same people." You can hear the heart ache in her voice.
A=After all you put me through
You'd think I'd despise you
N=Mmmm….
A=But in the end
I wanna thank you 'cause you made that much stronger
M=Well I thought I knew you, thinkin' that you were true
Guess I, I couldn't trust called your bluff time is up

But don't even begin feeling I'm the one to blame
'Cause you dug your own grave
N=After all of the fights and the lies 'cause you're wanting to haunt me

The applause erupted, but I didn't listen. Tears where streaming down my face. In a run that was way to fast the three boys where down the stairs as we stepped of stage. "Baby." Fang whispered as he pulled me into his chest. "It's over. It's all ok. No one is coming for us. No one." A sob escaped. "Iggy; now would be a good time." Fang said to him. All of a sudden all noise except the six of us disappeared.
"There you go." Iggy said, not trying to keep it quite.
"Come here guys." I said, picking up Angel.
"Max." Starts Gaz as Fang picks him up. He's a big ten year old, but Fang isn't the average teenager. I lean into Fangs other side as Nudge and Ig joins us. "There coming for us aren't they." I can see that he's trying to be tough, but we have all had enough of this. You can't run your whole life. It's just not right.
"But I won't let anything happen." I reason, not really answering. Nothing can happen. Not again. Not never. Nothing. I can't have anything happen. Fang pulls me into him more as a new stream of tears fall.
"Baby." He whispers, even though all six of us can hear it. "Everything will be ok. Nothing will get us."
"We're stronger." Gaz pipes in, flexing an arm.
"Smarter!" Nudge laughs.
"Faster." Angel says, joining in.
"Thicker." Says Iggy with a laugh.
"We're fighters." Fang says.
"We're family." I say, wiping the tears away.
"We won!" Cheers Angel. A squeal comes from Nudge as sound comes back.
"Ok. The judges have decided." Says the woman again. "The best singers where Max, Krystal and Ariel! Come up on stage." She gestured for us to start moving. Fang and I put the kids down so they could run ahead. Fangs arm moved to my waist, as Iggys moved to Nudges.
"That's not fair!" Screech's the blonde, Lauren I think it is. As we stop in the middle of the stage, she comes running on. She stands in front of me, hands on her hips. "This biatch cheated! I am meant to win!" Another screech erupted from her lips. She raised her hand and went to slap me. In a move that was way to fast for her to see I had grabbed her hand and forced it onto her back.
"Leave. Me. Alone!" I hissed into her ear.
