Max's POV
I looked back over at the girl, Dez, to make sure she was asleep. It sure looked like it. I reached over and tapped Fang's hand. He bolted upright quickly and silently. I looked him in the eye and nodded toward the exit. He understood and moved silently outside.
I reached over to wake up Iggy and accidentally bumped into Dez. She shifted slightly and then was completely still. I froze and held my breath. I didn't move till I was sure that she wasn't going to wake up.
I reached over and woke the rest of the flock up. We sneaked past her and joined Fang.
"Wa'sup? Why are we here?" Nudge rubbed her eyes. She was still half asleep. These kids needed their rest but we could deal with that later. They really needed baths too.
"We need to decide what we are going to do with the girl." I crossed my arms, going into leader mode.
"I say we ditch her." Iggy said sourly. He still hated her.
"I'm kinda agreeing with Iggy on this one. We don't know if she is working with the School. She's probably all hooked up with tracers." Well, was Mr. Silent and Un-emotional talkative. What is with Fang? When you want him to speak he's quite. When you don't want to hear from him he gets chatty.
"Well, I think she's a nice person. She's just a bit lost. How can you judge her without even knowing her? I mean, I wouldn't be nice and all trusting to someone I just met and while I was near them, I nearly died of a seizure. I wouldn't trust some random people. She's scared and she's had some bad betrayals in her family." Nudge sat back with a huff, scowling at Iggy and Fang.
"She has a point." Angel's small voice piped in. "You can't judge someone you just met. It's rude."
Well, there you have it folks. Just ask a little kid and they give you the plainest answers.
"I agree with Iggy and Fang. She's called us mean things and has been really rude. We can't just suddenly bring her into our family." Gazzy went to stand near Iggy and Fang.
"I'm not asking her to become part of our family. Yes, she has been rude, but maybe Nudge is right. Maybe she has just had a rough past." I stepped in between the two groups the flock had separated into. I did not like the way this was headed.
"Right, but we would have to ask her to find out. She would have to actually talk to us." Fang's voice was dripping with sarcasm.
"I don't think she's capable of having a conversation." Iggy's voice was bitter. I had never seen him this mad.
"True, maybe she's mental or something." Fang looked over at Iggy then at me. He had a look in his eyes. It was like he was challenging me. What was his problem?
Get this, I punched him. Well, more like tried to punch him. He caught it and of course, because Fang isn't like other guys who might have let it go, he slammed me against the nearest tree. "What's your problem?"
"My problem? You're the one with the voice in your head." That made me mad. Okay, the voice hadn't even shown up in weeks. "You're letting a girl we hardly know stay with us. She's probably a spy for the School. What's your problem?"
"I never said that she was staying-" I began to say but Fang cut me off.
"No, you're just going to teach her how to fly, how to fight, and give her food. That's pretty much the same thing. It's better if she doesn't know how to fly and we leave her. The School will come and get her." He was so close. If I leaned forward just the slightest bit I would hit his nose.
The flock was watching us, Iggy not so much. Waiting for one of us to be the mature one and stop. Well, I was mature but Fang started it. He should say he's sorry. It's not my fault.
This whole time we had not raised our voices above a whisper. Fang was fuming, though he was barely showing it. To someone who didn't know him well, it probably looked like he was holding me against a tree with a completely blank face. If someone had jogged by right then they would have been completely confused.
"Whatever. If she stays I'm leaving." Iggy had his arms crossed over his chest. He really didn't like the girl. Gosh, being called a pervert wasn't that bad. I mean, seriously, it was just a misunderstanding.
I looked back at Fang, who still hadn't put me down. I was at least two inches off the ground. His eyes were full of anger. Not as much as with Ari but close to it.
I had to help her. But I didn't want to lose Fang again. I couldn't bear it to lose Fang. "Why don't we wait till she wakes up? Then we can try to ask her some of the questions and if she doesn't answer them we leave."
"No. I'm not staying till morning if she is still going to be here." Iggy walked up to where Fang and I were. Fang still had me against the tree.
"Iggy, why not? Okay, so she called you a pervert, but that's no reason to totally ditch her. Fang put me down!" Fang released his grip so that I was now on the ground but still trapped.
"She's getting on my nerves. She's such a stuck-up little brat. She thinks everyone has to care for her. That no one has any time to do anything for themselves, just to help her." He replied he was so mad and he did have a point.
"Okay, yeah. She's getting on my nerves, too. And, yes, she does seem like that but I mean this is new to her and everyone gets annoying." This conversation was one I wish I had never started.
Fang seemed to move even closer to me. He was so close he was practically on top of me. "I don't like it Max. She's too suspicious."
I sat there looking into his eyes, searching for something. I didn't find it."Look," I said trying to push Fang off me. He backed up so that he was no longer on top of me. "I know that she is untrustworthy and stuck-up but-"
"So I'm untrustworthy and stuck-up?" The voice came from where Dez had been sleeping.
"That's not what I meant." I said pushing Fang out of the way and stepping closer to her.
"No, I heard you loud and clear. I've heard your whole conversation. I don't even know if I should stay. I'm only here right now because I don't know how to fly." She looked mad. I looked over at Iggy he looked even more mad then he had a second ago.
"Well, would you trust someone you just met, especially if they had just come from the School?" I felt so stupid, like I was pointing out the obvious.
"You're right. I wouldn't trust someone who just came out of that hell hole and I don't. I don't trust you. You ditched me. I was originally planning to wake up early and take off. I could teach myself to fly." She suddenly found her fingernails extremely interesting.
"Well, if she stays I'm leaving. For real this time." Iggy piped in. Right now, I would hate to be her.
"Well, you don't have to. I'm leaving." She then darted off to the right. She was almost as fast as Fang, a bit faster than me.
I ran after her. I soon lost her and had to track her by sound. She wasn't very quiet.
I caught up to her just in time to see her sit down in an indent in a boulder. She pulled her legs to her chest and started crying. And I don't mean just a few tears either.
