Chapter 10

I didn't have to wait long for Iggy and Nudge to fall asleep; they were obviously tired out from their make-out session earlier. I listened carefully, hearing for their deep breathing, making sure they were truly asleep before turning towards Fang. He raised an eyebrow.

"What's up Max?" I scooted over to him, laid my head on his shoulder and took in a shaky breath.

"I know I'm no expert at these things, but I'm only two months pregnant and I'm already showing," I said, all in one breath, "that's not normal, is it?"

"Max, how am I, of all people supposed to know what normal is?" Good point, I thought but still, that didn't really answer my question.

"I think we should probably go see mum, or maybe I should just call her. Geez… I don't know what to do," I said with a frustrated sigh, and turned my head to look Fang straight in the eyes. "I'm scared Fang, I'm scared for me, I'm scared for our baby. I'm scared because we're bringing a baby into our lives, into a life on the run, it's not a life I'd want for anyone let alone a little kid." And with that, I started crying. Again. Fang pulled me into his chest and enveloped me in a tight embrace. We sat there like that until my watch was over and then some. It was comforting to just sit there with the peaceful surroundings staying peaceful, sitting under the stars and having moon shining down upon the two of us. It just seemed perfect. So naturally, it didn't last. There was a rustling in the bushes that we were unable to leave unchecked.

"I'll go see what it is," I told Fang after looking to make sure Nudge and Iggy weren't the culprits of the noise.

"Okay, be careful, I've got your back," he told me with a kiss on the forehead. Slowly but surely, I made my way over towards the source of the noise, ready in a fighting stance when…

…

…a little rabbit ran out of the bushes, past me and kept on going. Good thing I didn't wake up the rest of the flock up. I looked back, laughing , to tell Fang it was only a bunny, but when I did, he wasn't there, he wasn't where I had left him.

"Fang, you're not pulling a disappearing act on me are you? Fang? Fang!" Okay, it was safe to say I was worried. He'd had my back but I didn't have his. Crap, crap, crap! I didn't have a clue about what to do, so naturally I woke the rest of the flock up.

"Guys, Fang's missing and we have to find him quick! If it's the school or Itex, or even something new, we have to get him away from there and quick! The longer we wait, the further away they're going to get," wow, when I needed to, I could say a pretty darn good speech. "Ange, can you hear his thoughts?" I asked her. The most determined look fell across her features as she concentrated hard upon finding Fang.

"Max, all I can get from him is that he's conscious and, and they've paralysed him with whaterver they injected him with," Angel sounded quite scared while telling us this.

"What else Ange? What aren't you telling us?" I asked her calmly.

"He, oh God, he doesn't know where he is, he's almost passed out, all he can see is darkness and…
