Chapter 14: Treason-ish

Fang's POV

I was ready to jump the fence and stand in front of anything to save Max. Apparently not everybody felt that way.

"Okay, let's go." Iggy said touching the fence nervously. I stared at him defiantly, but the look was wasted.

"What do you mean, 'go?' We can't leave Max. I won't let them hurt her, whoever 'them' are!" I practically yelled at Iggy. I turned around to look at the rest of the flock to see them all staring at me.

"Fang, Max is a big girl. She can rescue herself. There are a lot of BAD vibes coming from this place. I don't want anybody to go in there." Angel said looking anxiously at the fence. Nudge reached out and touched it, then swiftly drew her hand back.

"No way. Very bad people are behind this fence. They're very willing to kill us." She said. The flock, Max's flock, was abandoning her? Max had raised these kids as her own, now wasn't the time to start caring about safety. But, I couldn't let Gazzy, Abbey, and Angel get hurt. Max would never forgive me. If it were just me, Iggy, and Charity then I wouldn't hesitate. I couldn't risk their lives. Angel was right; Max was a big girl now. But, I couldn't leave her alone.

"Fine, okay, we'll leave. I don't want you guys to get hurt. Let's go." I said, blood making my face hot from anger. Anger at myself, Max, and the kids. Max would never hesitate to jump over that fence, for any of the flock. Why weren't they willing to do it for her? It didn't make sense; maybe my love blinded me to the obvious though.

We traipsed back through the forest the way we came, covering our tracks as we went. I huffed into the house and slammed my bedroom door behind me. I sat on my bed in angry silence for the good majority of an hour. Wait, I was the strongest of us all. I didn't need anybody with me. I'm Fang, Mr. Emotionless, Tall Dark and Silent, I could do anything. Rashly, I walked across the room and picked up my backpack from the spot near the door where I'd dropped it when I walked in. I pulled out a pen and piece of paper.

Guys,

I'm sorry, but you're all retarded. I can't leave Max with whoever her captors are. I'm still in love with her. I refuse to let them hurt them. They can kill me first. Please don't come look for me, this is something I have to do by myself. I'm sorry. Either Max or I will be back, maybe both of us. I'm really hoping for that last option to prevail. She's helped you all so much, I can't believe you're going to abandon her when she needs you most. I'm surprised, especially with you Angel. She basically raised you.

Goodbye For Now and I Love You All,

Fang

I set it on my bed and opened my window. My backpack was slung over my back with some cans of food, matches, and clothes inside it. I couldn't bring the first aid in case the flock needed it. Hopefully Max wouldn't need it that badly. I jumped and prayed my wings would still work after all the trauma.

I flew quickly south, every second could mean one less for Max. I landed softly on the foreign side of the fence that made me so angry at the others. I quietly walked from the back of 1 tree to another, waiting to be caught.

"Hey, you! Who the hell are you? Wait, you're Fang, Max's boyfriend." He finished roughly and began an advance towards me. It was a combination of an Eraser and an avian. I could tell because he had two lines that bulged out of his shirt where his wings didn't seam properly. I backed away and straight into the fence. I didn't have time to react before he had pounced and pinned me to the ground. I struggled under his weight, but I stood no chance. This mutant was about 10 times stronger than even me. Thank God the others weren't here. Kicking and screaming, biting and scratching he dragged me away from the fence and into the top secret facility.

Nudge's POV

I ran up the stairs and pounded on Fang's door. He hadn't come out since we got home yesterday. It's nothing new for him to stay by himself, but this was ridiculous.

"Fang! Iggy made dinner. Come on, Max'll be fine." I said through the door, half convincing myself.

It wasn't that I didn't love Max; I loved her more than anybody in the world. I also valued my life though. Max wouldn't escape if we tried to rescue her anyway. We would ALL get killed.

Nothing happened behind Fang's door. Oh no, where is he? I slammed open his door, maybe too dramatically because it hit the wall and bounced back. The room was empty! Except for a piece of paper on the bed, fluttering gently because of the breeze coming from the window. I picked it up and read it twice before it hit me.

Fang left to rescue Max by himself. He was mad at us because he didn't understand why he couldn't rescue her. Oh Fang, haven't you been listening to those last few paragraphs?

I raced down the stairs as fast as my legs could carry me and crashed directly into Gazzy. We both hit the ground comically and got the attention of the whole house.

"You guys okay?" Charity asked. She grabbed Gazzy's hand and Rayne grabbed mine. They hoisted us up and I became a frantic mess.

"Fang's gone! He went to find Max by himself! He's mad too! He doesn't – UGH! He is SO stubborn! Oh my God. What are we going to do?" I had watched my constant rambling since we'd arrived at Anne's.

"Whoa, Nudge, slow down and begin again." Iggy said soothingly. I took a few deep breaths and retold my story. By the end, the kids were in tears and the others just looked shocked.

"Wow, what should we do?" Gazzy asked. Angel and Abbey wiped their eyes. Surprisingly, Total had the best idea.

"Maybe we should wait a day or 2 and if they don't come back then we go look for them." He said like the wise Scotty he is. We all agreed to this idea and began a painful waiting period.

Okay, sorry for the lack of updates. Thanks for the 1 stinking review! Please review, please.
