Chapter 11: max pov
As Fang and I walked back to the Cullen's hand in hand we caught each other up on what we had been doing. Apparently the Volturi had set up the whole Fang 2 situation and the Cullen's had nothing to do with it. I guess I now have to apologize, and everyone knows how much I just love to apologize AND admit that I was wrong. Please note my sarcasm. Once we were right in front of the house I started to panic, what if they didn't accept my apology? What if Alice hated me? Oh lord I am SOOOO not cut out for this stuff.
"So this is where you live now? It's big too bad they might not want you back." Said Fang.
"Wow Fang, I never thought about that. Thanks for the confidence boost." I said with sarcasm oozing from each word.
"Well just know that whatever happens, I'm on your side, always have been always will be." He clarified.
"Since when do you like to talk, your turning into Nudge. And I only have that scar from Ari to prove that you're the real Fang" I said with a laugh escaping my lips. He smiled at me and I couldn't help but smile back. We walked up to the door and I knocked, it was instantly answered by Esme. She looked at me and then to Fang, all of a sudden I was engulfed in a hug. I went stalk straight and entirely still.
"Have you made new friends here Max?" Fang asked in a sarcastic tone. I could hear the smile in his voice, I was sooo gonna kill him later. The Cullen clan all rushed in and stared at Esme, a smile broke out on Emmet's face when he saw how distressed I was because Esme was hugging me. Fang noticed first though, so being the life saver he is he cleared his throat. Esme seemed to remember that everyone else was staring at her so she let go. Her attitude immediately changed from worried to furious. All of the Cullen's seemed to remember that I had hurt Alice, they all looked extremely scary. Even I, The Great Maximum Ride was scared by the Cullen's. I quickly moved behind Fang. He seemed extremely calm and serene for some reason. Weird, but that could also be his no emotion face, who knows, oh yeah I do. I could practically feel the hateful vibes rolling off of the Cullen's.
"Now before you say anything let me explain. Think about this from my point of view, first I'm thrown into the school by you, second Edward hates me and because I'm paranoid I end up hating him too, third I'm brought back here and Fang ends up being Fang 2. Fourth I feel trapped because I'm not a loud to leave, I find out that Alice knew he was a fake, yet no one told me, fifth Fang 2 tried to kill me. Now if you were to put yourself in my shoes, pardon my language, you'd be scared shitless. You would have done the same thing if you were me. It's not you but I have trust issues with everyone, plus you put me in the freaking school where excruciating pain is a walk in the park." I finished. In Esme's eyes I saw pity. Well guess what I don't need any of your pity; I thought that she was evil or something, turns out that I was wrong. I looked at the whole Cullen clan; they were staring at me as if I had just ripped their hearts out. Carlisle looked guilty, Edward looked sad, Rosalie was just like Esme and Alice looked like a mirror of Rosalie and Esme. I reluctantly looked at Jasper, his face was a mask of pity and horror, and finally last but not least was Bella and Emmet. Bella was looking down at the floor as if she had something to do with all of it. She was mirroring Carlisle's emotions. Emmet looked like he was about to blow a fuse. I stepped away from him and closer to Esme. When she looked from Emmet to me she got upset.
"Emmet calm down, you're scaring the innocent girl." As soon as the words "innocent girl" left her mouth both myself and Fang burst out laughing.
"Y-You think I-I'm innocent?" I got through my laughing. She looked at me and her expression said that she was serious. "Sorry Esme but I'm not so innocent." Her startled gaze told me that she didn't believe me. "I'll prove it. Who do you want me to fight? I promise I won't use my gifts." As soon as Emmet heard that I was going to fight someone he instantly raised his hand to volunteer. "Fine first I'll fight Fang, then Emmet." I turned to find that Fang was starting to go invisible. "Come on Fang, stop being so babyish." I taunted. I started to walk towards the door and stopped when I turned around I talked to Fang directly. "Oh and if I can't use my gifts neither can you retard." I said. He started to become visible. He was standing right behind Emmet. He tapped on Emmet's shoulder. Emmet whirled around and came face to face with Fang. When Emmet jumped both I and Fang laughed along with the Cullen's. This was going to be fun.
