So, once again I'm typing more fanfiction when I should be working on things like, say, My senior project?

Oh well...

I should make all my reviewers pay for my college!

I wish...

I'd tell you to donate to my college fund, but I don't want to give out my address...

Oh, forget it! Chapter 10....

Fang's POV

It was almost 7:30 and Sam's pack still hadn't made an appearance. Maybe they never would. That was at least what I was hoping...

"It'll all be ok, Fang. You'll see!" said Renesmee, smiling up at me. There had been a lot of debate as to exactly where 'Nez should be during our little 'meeting'. Jacob and I had both said no to her being here, until we all realized that if she didn't come, someone else would have to stay behind with her. Besides the fact that we needed all the fighters we had, if something were to 'go badly' and whoever was with 'Nez didn't know it, they'd be sitting ducks. Renesmee was here with the plan that if things didn't go well, either I or Jacob were to take her, depending on who could get her away fastest. And even though I figured with being able to fly that I could get her out fastest, Jacob was staying so close to her that I got the feeling I wouldn't get the chance.

Speaking of how close he was staying, the smell was killing me! I'd learned to put up with it most of the time, especially with Seth, but the whole pack was here and staying close by us to boot. Every once in a while, Jake would send two of them on a quick scouting mission, but most of the time, we had to put up with the combined smell of all of them. I couldn't imagine what it would be like when Sam's huge pack arrived. Could vampires throw up? 'Cause I just might.

Carlisle suddenly came up beside me, smiling. "You have this look on your face like you're gonna be sick, Fang."

I smiled back slightly and nodded. "It's a combination of nervousness and werewolf smell."

He nodded back. "If you follow me over to the left here a bit, I can get you some relief from one of them. Besides, I want to talk with you."

I nodded again and followed Carlisle over near the woods a bit. We were traveling upwind of the wolves, so the smell was a bit better up there. When we got what I guess Carlisle figured was far enough, he turned to me.

"So, Fang, one thing I've been meaning to talk to you about. As you know, many of our family has certain 'special powers' that they recieved when they became vampires. I've been wondering if maybe you've recieved any special powers as well."

I smiled. "You mean besides flight, fasion sense, and playing a mean harmonica?"

He laughed. "I think Alice might challenge you on the second one, but yes. We already know you can fly faster, that's to be expected."

I almost laughed thinking about that one. First thing to do when I find Max: Challenge her to a race.

"Your strength has also greatly improved. I'm not too sure about your harmonica skills, though." He added with a laugh.

"So, you think I have special powers now?"

He nodded. "It's a distinct possibility. You talk about how others in your Flock had special abilities, which leads me to believe that you might have one, too that your being a vampire may have brought out."

I just shrugged. "Well, if I do, it's taking it's time showing itself."

He just smiled. "You'll just need to work at it, Fang. I'm sure your powers will manifest in time, whatever they are."

I just nodded again. I spent all my time in the Flock waiting for my powers to show up, and nothing happened then. Why should it now?

It looked like Carlisle might say something else, but suddenly, there was a long, low howl in the distance. I looked over towards Jacob's pack. The hair on their backs was straight up and they were snarling and growling. Everyone was looking in the direction of La Push where the howl had come from. But I could already tell by how close the howl had sounded that they were already out of La Push and on their way.

Sam's Pack was coming.

Jacob's POV

"I think they're about 5 miles away, from the sound of it."

My pack nodded in agreement, but they were more focused on where Sam's Pack would appear than where they were now.

"I can almost feel them approaching." Leah said, growling.

I nodded and took my place in front of Nessie.

She ran forward and hugged me around the neck. "They're coming now?"

I nodded again.

She smiled. "Good. We can get all this craziness over sooner, then. They'll find out that Fang is a good vampire and they'll leave us alone. Right?"

I gave another nod. I wish I could be that innocent to believe in miracles like that.

Fang came over and took his place next to me. I moved away from him a bit. He complained about our smell a lot, but I like to let him know he doesn't exactly smell like fresh-cut spring roses to me.

"So, this is it, huh?" Fang asked.

I gave a curt nod.

"Yep, they're coming, Fang!" Nessie said. "But don't worry, everything will be ok."

Fang smiled. "I sure hope so. I wish I were as optimistic as you, 'Nez."

"Then be optimistic! Jacob's optimistic, right, Jacob?"

I nodded and gave her a lick that made her laugh. I saw Fang smile, too.

"Ok, be more like Jacob. Got it. Do I have to grow fur, too?"

She laughed again. "No, silly!"

That's when Bella called Nessie over to where she was. She wanted to see her quickly and talk to her before Sam got here. This left me and Fang together. Alone.

We sat in silence for a while, which I was perfectly happy with. Then, Fang, who I've been told is supposedly the silent type, got this crazy urge to speak. But what he said, well, it was food for thought.

"You really love her, huh?"

I just looked at him.

"'Nez, of course. You really care about her a lot."

I just nodded for the hundreth time. Sometimes, it was annoying not to be able to speak to anyone but the pack.

He nodded back. "She was about the only thing that kept me sane while I was in that institute when I first became a vampire. If it wasn't for her, I would've thought I was losing my mind. She just kept trying to comfort me." He laughed. "Can you imagine? She's just this little girl in this big, scary place and she's trying to comfort me!

I just listened to what he said. I had never really thought about either of their times in the institute, just relief that Nessie wasn't there anymore.

Fang continued. "She's really something special, huh? Brave, caring. Cute." He added with a smile. Ok, he was getting annoying now...

"And really lucky, too."

I looked up at him. What was he talking about?

"I wonder if she realizes how lucky she is to have you, Jake."

What?

"You know, I always had my Flock for a family, but I still always wished for, I don't know, a real family. 'Nez has got that and more. You're like her big brother right now, and someday, you'll be even more than that. You're whatever she needs, and she's lucky to have someone like you. I watch the way you protect her and take her of her. It's really cool, Jacob."

Alright, I'm dumbfounded. Shocked into silence. And I think Seth just mind-snickered.

"I guess seeing you guys kinda makes me miss my Flock." Fang went on. "I mean, I've got a great thing here with the Cullens, but my Flock is my family, too. I don't know where they are. It's killing me."

I suddenly wished I could say something halfway comforting, but, once again, I could just nod.

"You should meet our Flock leader, Max. Maximum Ride. She's, well, she's special, too. You know what I mean, right?"

I nodded a couple times this time. Oh, did I know exactly what he was talking about now.

"I-I miss her. And the rest of the Flock, too. I just wish I-"

"Guys!" Nessie said, running over. "Uncle Jazz went to see how close Sam is, and he says to hold on to your fangs, feathers, and fur, 'cause they're real close!"

We took our places. Nessie ran over and hugged Fang. "They're not getting my new big brother!" She said.

Fang looked a bit shocked. "Uhh, 'Nez I-"

I moved over to stand in front of both Nessie and Fang. She was right. No one was getting her new big brother today.

I heard Seth snicker again. "Knew you'd come around sometime, Jake."

I only had time to give him a short growl.

Sam had just appeared on the other side of the clearing.

How touching! Fang and Jake had a little one-sided heart-to-heart.

As to explain Fang's sudden talkitiveness, we'll blame it on his nerves about this upcoming meeting with Sam.

Oh, and a wonderful reviewer named Bookits pointed out that I never explained how the Director knew about Renesmee!

I'll explain that quickly now. You know at the end of Breaking Dawn when the Volturi came? You know how a lot of other vampires came as witnesses to see what the Volturi would do? Well, the Director was among them and saw the whole thing with Nessie. There, explained.

R&R???
