(A/N) Sorry guys, I've been pretty busy. I'm here now though, so please don't kill me o.O...I wasn't sure how to write this chapter, so I'm sorry if it's completely awful. I was gonna write it in Max's POV (You still would have known what Fang was feeling), but then I decided that I wanted you guys to know what Fang was thinking.
YOU SHOULD READ THIS IF YOU'RE CONFUSED!!!!
I just wanted to say to whoever sent me a review asking "Why was everyone looking at Max" and saying, "That didn't explain why Fang was OOC", that everyone was looking at Max because she was talking. It was an un-required fluff sentence. You're right, it DIDN'T really explain why Fang was OOC. I meant for it too, but it didn't. Hopefully this chapter will. If it doesn't, I guess I'll just say, that his emotions are whacky with the new power. He's feeling everything ten times more intense than it really is, because he can't control it yet. When he gets it under control he can seperate his emotions from his power (therefore hiding what he's feeling most of the time once again) but for now, I'm having a bit of fun with him being out of control :) Hope that explains it.
Disclaimer: If I owned Maximum Ride, I wouldn't have written the fourth or the fifth book the way that Patterson did. Sorry if you liked them, but I thought that they were really fluffy.
Fang POV
"Fang, I think you're controling our emotions."
NO!!!! No, no, no, no, no, no!!! Fang thought. Dread poured through his entire body. He couldn't breath. He couldn't even scream, and I sure wanted too. Then it hit him.
"Now that I think about it, I have been feeling weird." He explained honestly. "Not like what you guys are going through, but my emotions have been ten times more intense than normal. I don't think that it's me."
"Are you sure?" Max asked in frustration. She leaned towards him, slowly. Whoa! She was sending his brain on the fritz again. Max leaned back, a funny look on her face. "Uh..." She trailed off nervously. Did she feel it? Did she know that he could barely breath when she was close to him?
"Dude, stop. You're making it hard for me to think." Iggy practically screamed at him. "It has to be you," he explained as Fang recovered his breathing. "No one else would practically lose their mind when Max leaned close. "Shut up!"
"I have no reason to be embarrassed, Fang." Nudge added, trying to contain giggles.
"I...I..." Fang was at a loss. He didn't know what to do. The dread that had filled him before came back in full force. Now they would all know how he felt at all times. He could have screamed in frusteration. He'd worked so hard to mask everything, and now they would know it all. "I need a minute to myself."
Fang stood up, and stalked off into the woods without another word. He needed a moment to gather his thoughts. A moment to process this, knowing that the whole flock couldn't feel it. He didn't want them to know how he felt, and if it weren't for his promise to Max he would have taken to the skies that moment.
This was the worst thing that could ever happen to him. What would he do without his armor? How would he retreat inside himself if everyone would only follow? How could he experience things for himself, have that emotions that Max created in him to himself, when everyone else was going to be brought along with him.
It was bad enough that Angel could already read his mind when he wasn't paying attention. Now everyone, even Max, would know exactly what he was feeling. Max would know that he wasn't just messing with her. That instead of just being annoying, he was really head-over-heals stay-up-sighing-in-the-middle-of-the-night can't-keep-her-out-of-his-head-for-more-than-five-minutes in love with her. The thought of Max knowing this almost made Fang lose himself.
He couldn't breath. He couldn't move. He was out of control. He knew that he was shaking. He dropped to his knees, sweat pouring. He couldn't function. They would all know that Fang wasn't a rock. That he wasn't strong. They would all know that Fang was just Fang. They would all know that Fang was normal.
They would all know.
That thought was enough to send him into darkness...
Sorry for doing that to Fang guys, but I can't help but think that's how he would react. Anyway, I hope that you like it. I started shaking while writing it. I can't help but think how awful it would be, because I'm a little like Fang in the hiding emotions department.
It might be a little while before I update again, so I'm sorry. I'm out of town with my family, and moments with internet are far apart, but I'll do my best. Please hit that beautiful review button and tell me what you think. I really think that we could hit 200 with this chapter...come on guys try your best. Just tell me what you think :) *looks hopeful* PLEASE REVIEW
