FANGPOV
I walked with my head down to Mountain. He was talking to River and had a slightly sad face wiped on his muzzle. I felt kind of bad for leaving him hanging a whole day. My sneakered foot hit the ground with a wet, but quiet slap, and Mountain turned his head.
"Fang! Fang. Have you ahh, made your decision?" His eyes were pooling with worry.
"I have. I even talked to Max, who had influenced my decision." I took a deep breath, when all of a sudden, Max walked up behind me, hooked my arm in hers, and tugged me away. Mountain looked heartbroken. I couldn't believe her!
MAXPOV
"What on EARTH are you doing? Can't you see I was talking to someone? Are you REALLY that self centered? I can't believe you would do this to me! You aren't like that! I thought you would-" I interrupted Fang in the middle of his rant buy shushing him.
"You have plenty of time to talk to him later. But right now, I MUST talk to you. It's about the "Yearly Gathering"" putting airquotes around Yearly Gathering, "We are going to have to work!"
"Uh, Max, yeah." He nodded, "I know. I already told everyone their job is to go see Star on the matter." I blushed a deep red. His eyes bore into my flesh with a ferocity only seen in fights. I gulped.
"I'm SO sorry Fang! I didn't know! I-I, honestly didn't know." I closed my eyes. I felt horrible for taking Fang from Mountain knowing he did everything already. I looked away.
"It's fine Max. I just go tell him my answer. Don't bother me though, ok?" I nodded. "Good, I will see you later then." He walked back over to Mountain and River, who looked crushed, until Fang appeared. Seeing their reaction made me feel worse, or was it that I didn't have breakfast?
I walked over to Feather, who was absently working on an intricate crystal chandelier, and humming to herself.
"Feather? Um, can I help you with anything?" I asked softly.
"Oh! Max! I didn't see you! Sure, help me with this. Here is the pattern the crystals go in, and just string the little gems in the wire in the right order you see!" I looked at her.
"I'm sorry, but I didn't understand you. At ALL." She grimaced.
"I'm sorry Max," Feather whimpered, "All I can think about if Breeze, his sleek black fur, his little white stripe on his nose…his shyness…UGH!" she growled at herself, and I jumped back a bit. "You know Max, Thanks! I am going to ask Breeze to the YG. I really am. Thanks SO much!" She bounded off and tucked her wings tight onto her back.
"Glad I could help." I muttered and looked at the large shimmery mass of wire and crystal. "Well, better star now." I then sat down, and started to string.
FANGPOV
"Mountain, River. I have made my decision." I announced to them.
They nodded eagerly. I drew a deep breath to calm myself. Either way I answered would change my life for good.
GUYS! I am SO sorry for not uploading. I have been on vacation, with no wifi or access to a computer. I am going to try and make it up to you by uploading as many chapters that I write. Thanks a lot for reading!
