The Hard Life of Maximum Ride.

Hiya! So…that kid Hunter that I mentioned…We started dating! And then we broke up….but it wasn't even awkward! Awesome right?! Anyways…here's the next Chapter.

"Ok, now open your wings like this. You should be able to feel them on your back unless, you know, they're gone."

The tingling on my back slowly faded as I worked to open my wings. They were….beautiful. They were decorated with brown spots and were mostly white.

"Does everybody have wings?"

"No, we already told you, its just us. I think. Correction; I hope."

"Wow."

'Fang' smiled at me and slipped his hand into mine. I honestly didn't know why I liked him but oh well. I smiled as he began to rub between my wings but quickly became annoyed and remembered something about him doing it before.

"Can you please stop? That has always annoyed me."

"Wait, you remember?"

"Well yeah. It annoyed the crap out of me but that's really all I can seem to think of."

"Oh."

"Yep. Well, if you don't mind, I would love to get back to my mom's house and explain to her that I have wings."

"She already knows."

Wow, the dark one actually said a full sentence! Point for me!

"and she's ok with it?! What a mother she is."

Fang shook his head.

"Lets go." He muttered under his breath and pulled me out the door and onto the stairs that led to the roof. The stairs creaked as we stepped on them and I pushed open the metal door that sat at the top and walked into the cool night air. I leaned against the wall and watched as Fang walked over to me.

He sighed, "Why can't you just remember?!"

"I would if I could, I swear I would. You guys sound great and all but, I think I'm going to stay with my mom when we arrive there."

"I understand." He spoke sadly, "but I want to try something first."

I opened my mouth to speak but before I could say anything his lips were on mine and his hands were around my waist. I tried to speak again, but he used this to his advantage and slipped his tongue inside my mouth, causing me to moan against my will and slip my tongue into his.
Every inch of Fangs mouth had been outlined by me and it was all mine. Every bit. That's when memories came back. Starting with the red-headed wonder named Lissa.

Basically, this made the situation even better and i leaned more into the kiss and nodded when Fang opened his eyes and looked at me questioningly.

After that, Fang seemed to tighten his grip and deepen the kiss. Pushing me up against the wall and murmuring 'I love you' into my mouth. I smiled and was about to whisper back when something yanked me up into the air by my hair and began to pull me away.

"FANG!" I screamed as I felt something begin to clip off my feathers and tie my wings. One gone, two, three, four, five, six… the feathers kept falling and the rope -which was now wrapped around me to hold down my arms and wings -began to rub against my back. Fang was there though and he was fighting off my captive. I don't think he noticed my feathers falling because he untied the rope and let me go.

"I'll meet you in the hotel room!" he shouted.

Well crap. What was it? Two near death experiences now in less than a day?

The roof of a nearby building was approaching quickly and I wasn't slowing down. Well, you know the rule. Every action has an opposite and equal reaction. I didn't seem to be having the advantage in this situation. I wonder how Fang is gonna save me this time.

SMACK!

Fangs P.O.V

Max hit the roof. It wasn't a pretty sight and I couldn't help but blame myself as the blood trickled from her head and more feathers fell off her wings. I swooped down and cradled her head in my hands. I couldn't take losing her again. In less than 24 hours.

"Oh god Max, I'm so-so sorry."

"Ugh, Fang? What happened to Max?"Gaz walked through the metal door and up onto the roof being followed closely behind by the others.

"Um," Man, I had some explaining to do. I just hope Max wakes up soon.
