Taken

Chapter 11

I was still lying on my back on the grass when I felt something jump on my chest. It was light so it didn't hurt much. I looked down to see a giggling Ghost on his knees on my chest. Snowy was hanging in on of his arms while the other was on my arm.

"Up." He told me pulling. Or trying at least.

"Ghost! I told you to leave Fang alone." Max was now pulling Ghost off of me but he still tried to hold on. Of course, Max, being stronger, won. "Bed. Now!"

"Me know.' Ghost told her. " I tell him." He lifted a finger to point at me. "He sleep too."

"Fang doesn't have to go to sleep when you do." Max explained, carrying him back to the house.

"Yes. Like yesternight." I chuckled silently at his mistake, standing while doing so.

"I'm coming." I said, falling in step behind Max. Ghost wiggled in her arms and she put him down, only to have him run off in to the house. Once the door close behind him, Max and I stopped With out even saying a word. We had that sort of connection though

I had feared it would be gone after two years apart.

"Sorry he bothered you." Max turned to face me. "I told him it was time for bed and he ran out here."

"He wasn't bothering me. Besides I was going in soon any ways." I brushed away her apology. She turned to go but I caught her arm and made her face me. Once she was, I brought my face towards hers. I was about to kiss her when I heard, Where you go?, in my head.

'We're coming.' I told him. I kissed her just not as long as I would have. "Let's go. Ghost wants us."


After telling the flock goodnight, we walked in to our room to find Ghost already curled up on the bed sleeping. I sighed and started to leave the room just to be stopped by Max.

"Where are you going?" Max asked surprised. "Aren't you sleeping in here?"

"I was but only because Ghost wanted me. But now I won't because it'll give you guys more room." I explained.

"Oh." Max pondered this before continuing. "But what if he waked up?"

I could now tell this wasn't about Ghost. Max's eyes were pleading with me to stay. How could I resist. "I didn't think of that. I'll stay." I lied. I was staying because I knew she needed me for what ever reason.

I walked over to the bed and lifted Ghost up gently. I laid down on my back, setting him on my chest. He re-curled himself against me. Max stared at us for a second before laying down on her side next to me.

"Night Fang." Max murmured her eyes starting to close.

I leaned over and kissed the top of her head. "Night Max."
