So I know that I already updated today, but since the past three chapters have been very short (like, under 700 words), I'm going to give you two more chapters: one today, and one tomorrow. I am also very happy to say that I currently have 32 reviews and there are only three chapters! Thank you SO much guys! And I promise that the next few chapters will be a lot longer. It's just that I love writing short one-shots, so I just make each chapter short like it is a one-shot. And I will most likely start to change POV's in future chapters.
Disclaimer: If I owned Maximum Ride, you would all know it.
Chapter 4
Fang's POV
Previous Chapter:
"So I heard that you took down Itex," I said to Max.
"Yeah. That's kind of why I'm here." She said, not looking at my face, but looking around the house.
"Why would you be here? It's not like you need our help with it."
"That's just it," she told me, looking me straight in the eyes for the first time in three years. "I'm here because I destroyed Itex. And that's the reason why, three years to this day, I left you. All of you."
"Wh-What do you mean, Max? What do you mean you're here because you destroyed Itex?" I asked her, a little confused.
"I left you guys because I had to destroy Itex. By myself. I don't know why, though. A couple days before I left the Flock, the Voice told me that I had to leave you guys. It said that I had to destroy Itex by myself. It never said why I had to do it by myself." She said the last part quietly.
Suddenly, I had gotten over the fact that Max was back and everything that happened in the past three years came flooding into my head.
"Do you know what that did to us?" I asked her angrily. "We were all scared out of our minds! We spent two years looking for you! Two years Max! After that, we just gave up. We thought that while you were dead! That while you were on your watch that night, Erasers came and got you, took you back to the School, and killed you! You could have at least left a note to us before you left!" By then, I was screaming at her. I stood up out of my chair and walked over to her.
I got down on one knee and took her hand in mine. (A/N No, he isn't proposing to her. She just came back, remember?)
"Max. I didn't know what happened to you. I was so scared that something horrible happened to you. Do you know what that did to me, to all of us?" As I said that, I looked into her beautiful chocolate eyes that I haven't seen in a few years.
She didn't get to answer me, because Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel walked in.
"We're home!" Nudge yelled as she walked in the door.
"I'm in the kitchen," I said as I stood up.
"Hi Fang. Who's your friend?" Angel said.
I didn't know how I was going to tell them, so I just blurted it out.
"Guys, Max is back."
I know that again, it's short, but I'm pretty sure that the next one will be longer (I don't know if it will because I haven't written it yet.).
I'm not even going to ask you to review because I'm sure that A. it was bad and B. you're going to be mad that it's so short.
But, if you do review, let me know how I'm doing with this, how much you hate me for the chapters being so short, if there's anything I should change, or anything else you can think of!
