That night, I stood in front of Ella's door, waiting for Fang to come kiss me godd night. Oh, right. He's gone. I thought sadly. I sighed and dragged my self over to my bed.

Total hopped up and sat at the end of my bed. "Love is a roller coaster, but I think yours is the scariest one of all," he said, lying down.

"You bet," I agreed. "When are you going to see Akila next?"

"I was thinking of flying over to her," he said, whining softly.

Next, Nudge came over. "You've been really quiet lately," I teased.

"Yeah. I'm just thinking... about stuff. And, I'm promising you, that we will get Fang back," She said.

"Thanks," I said and kissed her head. "Good night, sweetie."

"Good night!" I called to the others.

They all called good night back.

Fang? Fang! What happened to him?! He looks horrible!

"Fang?" I asked weakly.

"Max?" He croaked.

His face was red from blood, and his shirt was ripped up. His eyes closed, and his head dropped. He was dead!

"No! Fang, Fang, Fang! No!" I sobbed.

I woke up and screamed at the top of my lungs. Total jumped and squealed. Ella moaned and rolled over.

"Max? Max? What happened? Are you okay?" My mom asked from down the hall.

"Bad, bad, bad dream," I said. "We've gotta find Fang! They'll kill him!"

And I burst in to tears. They were going to kill him. Unless we save him first.
