Chapter 10

Fang POV

I was still mad at Max for letting that…that…outsider just become one of us without knowing anything about him, but she'd never give in. So I did.

But as I walked to the mouth of the cave after Max, I glared at Cain.

"What's wrong? You jealous?" He asked slyly.

"Jealous of what?" I asked with a frown.

"That I kissed her before you. Now you don't have a chance." He said with an evil smile. I was taken aback. H-he…k-kissed…Max?!

"What are you talking about? Max would never kiss you!" I said in a shaky voice.

"Maybe she did…maybe she didn't…" He said, looking away and smiling. I ground my teeth together and growled at him. My fists were shaking at my sides. I looked away from him and, gradually, the shaking stopped. Would Max kiss him? Maybe this was payback for the whole Lissa and Brigid thing. Though, there never really was a "Brigid thing"…and the "Lissa thing" was just loneliness…

I couldn't take it anymore. Without another word, I jumped out the mouth of the cave after Max. I'd make her explain later. After I caught up to her, I was still shaking with rage. She didn't notice at first. "What'd you guys talk about?" She asked. I didn't answer. "What's wrong?" She asked, finally noticing my sneer.

"Nothing." I responded blankly. I had no idea which question I was responding to, but I wouldn't clarify. I didn't really care. I just wanted the truth. Now. "Max." I said, turning to her. I was gonna ask her if she really kissed him, but Cain flew up beside her, a too-big grin on his face.

"Yes?" She asked. I shook my head.

"Nevermind."

We flew for a few hours, no words between us. Max was talking with Cain the whole way playing the "getting to know you" game. I rolled my eyes every time she giggled at his cheesy jokes.

I now had a reason to hate him.

(AN: Sorry, that was really short. The next one will be longer…and juicy…definite Fax. ;D)
