Hope you like it!

Fang POV

I heard Max yell my name, as if to warn me. I turned around and saw Jeb and Ari. But that's not all that I saw. I saw Ari with a gun, pointed towards my Max, and immediately forgot about all the erasers I was fighting. I ran up to try and push myself in front of Max, but I was too far away and by the time I was there I was too late. I saw it all, the bullet fly through the air and hit Max in the side, and watched her fall to the ground.

No Max, please no! I ran up to Max, taking her into my arms, deciding to kill Jeb and Ari later. "Max, please don't leave. Stay with me! Open your eyes!" I said, tears actually welling up in my eyes.

Now let me tell you something. In my sixteen years of life, I have never ever cried. Not at the School, not while on the run, never. And now here I was, Max fading away in my own arms, me feeling a single tear flow down my cheek.

"Please Max," I said. She couldn't do this to me. She couldn't just leave me. I turned to Jeb and Ari, and start yelling at them. I wasn't even sure what I was yelling because I was too worried about Max. I yelled random curses and anything threatening anything. I just let it out. I didn't care a tiny bit whether I was being "in-Fanglike". This was my Max that was slowly drifting away.

I looked at Max holding her even closer to me, if possible. I felt her move against me. I immediately looked down at her. Yes, Max yes!

"Uhnnn," I heard her mutter. Trying to get up, but failing horribly. "Ow," she barely let out the sound, lying back down on me and losing hope in standing up.

"Max! It's okay, I'll get us out of here. Just keep your eyes open," I whispered. I saw her open her eyes again and look at me, letting out a weak smile. "Fang, I love you," she said.

"I love you too," I said, feeling another tear streaming down, and yet again, I didn't care.

I saw her close her eyes again. "Max no! Please don't do this!" I screamed. I picked her up and started running through the halls until I ran into Jeb and Ari.

"Don't even think about touching her. You already did enough now move!" I yelled.

Ari simply smirked, letting out a big grin. "Whatever you say bird brain, I already did what I had to do," he let out an even bigger grin, showing his yellow fangs.

I shoved the dog boy aside without another word and ran out the door Max and I had come in through originally. I had told the flock to meet up 20 miles south of the lake. We couldn't take any risks, but now I was regretting making it such a long distance away.

But I really couldn't do anything about it, so I kept hold of Max, and flew as fast as I could to get to the flock. To get to Iggy so he could help Max. Just to get away from them and make sure Max was going to be fine.

I'm not going to go into the details of the flight, but let me tell you it was tiring. Did I care at this point? No.

"Fang!" I heard most of the flock, if not all of them yell excitedly, until they saw me come up closer, with Max in my arms.

"What happened?" Nudge asked. "She's not going to die is she? She can't die Fang don't let her die please! She's like the only mother I ever had or any of us really. In fact, I think she'd be better then my real mother, because when we went to Tipisco, Arizona, that woman didn't seem too nice. But if Max died, we wouldn't have another mom like her! She's Max! Will she be alright? Please I don't want her to-," Iggy clamped his pale hand over Nudge's blabbering mouth.

I didn't have time to explain so I just thought it in my mind and let Angel send thoughts to everyone else. I maybe shouldn't have put it in the way I had because next thing I knew Angel was crying and hugging Gazzy, and Nudge gasped, grasping on to Iggy.

"Iggy, please-," I didn't even have enough time to finish.

"Yeah, I need your shirt; my shirt won't be enough to keep the blood from stopping. Nudge, Angel, help me tear up the shirts into strips and then help press it against Max's wound. Gazzy, go get some water from the lake, and go fast," he said.

He then leaned toward Max and started feeling her side, trying to interpret how deep and wide the wound was. "Fang, did you happen to know what kind of gun it was?" he asked me.

See, Iggy was good with bombs and guns. Any weapons really, he knew anything about them. I assumed he could tell how badly the damage from the type of gun.

I shrugged. "I didn't recognize it," I said.

"Hmm," he said. Well the results are strange. One thing for sure, Max is only unconscious right now. She should be fine as long as she doesn't lose too much blood. We have to take her to Dr. Martinez first thing tomorrow," he told me.

I nodded showing that I understood him and agreed with him as well. I took Max's hand and whispered quietly for only her to hear me "Max, I promise I'll find a way to help you."

Angel and Nudge had the strips of cloth ready and pressed it against her wound.

"Hold on, keep it pressed but not too hard. We want to stop the bleeding before trying to take out the bullet. We don't want the bullet to get pushed in any farther so careful," he warned them. They nodded and kept pressing. Gazzy came back eventually with water.

"I had nothing to put it in so I just soaked my shirt with it," Gazzy said, trying to act tough.

"That's fine," Iggy muttered, trying to clean out her wound.

I couldn't watch this. I couldn't watch Max like this. It hurt to think of what Max was going through. She's the leader (and mother) of the flock. She has to get up every single day and worry about the safety of all of them. She loves them all. I then thought about a few days ago. I was only causing more problems on her hands. She has to save the world; she has to keep the flock safe. I mean there is nothing she can't do, except cook I guess. And I was being a real jerk a few days ago.

I go ahead and argue with her, making it harder for her as if it already isn't hard. I go ahead and leave and start causing more problems. Heck I even cut myself! God I was such an idiot.

I looked back at Max, her eyes closed. I hoped that I would see her eyes open again soon. Her brown eyes full of light, her bright smile, it all added up. And I'd lose it all.

Why couldn't I have jumped in front of her in time!

"Fang you're worrying too much," Angel said, hugging me. Maybe she was right.

"Iggy, is there anything I can do?" I asked him. He shook his head. "Why don't you go for a fly, just don't go too far away, he told me.

Yeah, maybe.

I nodded and walked away then ran a few feet before taking off into the sky and circling around the forest. I just needed sometime to myself away from all of the chaos.

Oh, what's going to happen to Max?

Review and find out. Will add more Fax in next chapter if I get more reviews!

Thanks for reading and I hope you liked it!
