DISCLAIMER:

"Gosh, Fang, why didn't you remember?" Gabby complains.

"Well…you're the writer." *he sighs*

"True, true. I don't own this, read on."


Fang POV

Who the hell was this chick? Why didn't she go away? I don't know her!

She pulled out her wings. "So…Fang, remember now?"

Crazy chick.

Maybe instead of Sexy Chick the song should be Crazy Chick!

Damn, she's a crazy chick, a crazy chick,

Damn girl!

Makes sense.

"No," I said. I took off. The wind was good to me, it wasn't too strong, not too harsh. I turned slowly, gliding on an uprise. I flapped once, my wings spread out, then flew out.

*~*~*~*~*~*

I slowed down, slowly placing my wings to my back, so I could have a good landing. I dived, then sat on the covered area of the mall. I couldn't get the insane girl and her crazy kids- that obviously weren't related to her- off my mind. Why- and how- did she know me?

I knew I had been captured after leaving my family- whoever that was- by some company called "The Hospital". But why would this girl claim to know me? She's a mutant, but was she part of the family I left?

Then I decided to try something. I dived down, where they were exiting the mall. I flapped and landed in front of her.

"Max."

Max POV

We left the mall, going through groups of people just like me, with bored expressions as multiple kids tugged on their shirts. I left Gabrielle, Katherine, Christian, Preston, and Daniel off by the pretzel place, and even as I took a step there was laughing. Then Gabby told Katherine she had a "sick, diseased mind," for reasons I so don't know, and I don't want to know.

We went to a quick dinner at Luby's. I forced them to eat some chicken, to get all that buttery salt out of their systems. That stuff was like eating a stick of butter, but it was so, so good.

We left the diner, then exited the mall entirely. Then the girls met somebody else they knew. Great.

"Sarah! Anna!" Lizzy said happily as two blondes walked over to us. The tallest one, Anna, had dirty blonde hair, with one blue eye and one green. Cool. Sarah, the shorter, had medium length light blonde hair, and had piercing blue eyes.

These girls were quiet. I so would have preferred these two over Gabby and Courtney. Why, why?!!! I nearly collapsed on the ground saying, "NOooooo!!!" like those stupid movies.

Max, you are being over-dramatic again, Angel told me.

No I'm not! I mean, again?!!

She giggled, then said bye to the girls and skipped to the car, followed by the hasty group of girls. I took a step, then a black flash flew in front of my face. "Woah!"

My hair was officially jacked up. Great.

Then he was there. Fang. He looked confused.

He opened his mouth, and said one word, a word that made my day.

"Max."
