Me: Well, I promised another chapter soon, and because I really want to catch you guys up to where I have written to, I thought I could just, you know, be an absolute darling and update another for you! BTWs, I tried updating this about three nights ago, or so, and my internet died! Ttsk, the nerve of some things.

Fang: We still own jack.

Me: No, we actually don't own him... He is owned by his mummy... Anywho, on with the story!

Chapter 14

Dylan POV

"Bye-bye Dylan," Max called after me. I watched her as I fell, too fast to be safe. I was going too fast to be stopped, but I'd forgotten one incredibly crucial element to this recipe;

I'm a self healer!

God, I was a idiot. I can't believe I had forgotten that, it was so stupid of me! How could I forget what I was designed with? How could I forget what they taught me.

I spat into my hands, it was just as gross as you can imagine and so, so much worse, and started rubbing where my back met my wings. They almost instantly felt better. Not as good as they did before the whole 'wing snap' incident, but better none the less.

I continued falling until I had almost reached the trees and ran out of spit. Not even joking and yes it was so awkward. I snapped my wings out just as I came below the canopy of trees. I clenched down hard on my teeth, instantaneous unfurling had ripped them high, reminding me of the pain I'd just come from. Not as bad, but I will remember not to ever do that again. I wouldn't forget that soon, but I was taught to not worry about pain. My years with them had taught me everything I needed to know to survive and compete my missions.

I flew further away from where everyone else was, and landed near a cave thing. I listened closely to hear the flock land back at the house and walk inside. I heard a conversation between Max and Fang.

"Fang, your arm! The bitch sliced it! Nudge, can you grab out the first aid kit? Fang? Are you okay? Does it hurt? How long has it been like that? Did he touch you anywhere else? I swear if he weren't already dead, I would kill him. NUDGE HURRY UP WITH THAT FIRST AID KIT!" Max called.

"It's really nothing, Max. So long as you aren't hurt, I'll be fine," Fang said. God, he's a hopeless romantic. Seriously, hopeless! Shouldn't he know by now that none of that stuff gets to her?

She laughed! WTF! SHE NEVER FELL FOR THAT STUFF! IT'S NOT FAIR! SHE NEVER NOT ONCE LAUGHED AT ANYTHING I EVER SAID! NOT ONCE! But I had to calm. They had taught me everything and part of that was not to loose my cool or my patience. I couldn't let them down.

"Aw, Fang," Angel cried. "That is sooo sweet! NUDGE, DID YOU GET THAT ON CAMERA?"

"GOT IT! It's GOLD, baby! ABSOLUTE GOLD!" Nudge replied. I wondered what they would do with it. I mean, it's not like there's much to do with a tape like that.

"NUDGE, ANGEL!" Max screamed. I assumed she ran after them then, probably in an attempt to get the camera and destroy the evidence of her possibly having a romantic moment with Fang. I wished I could run right up and slap him, but I needed to wait. I would have my revenge soon enough.

I heard someone sigh. "I'll get you the first aid kit, Fang," Iggy said. "These girls could be at it for hours before any of them decide to give in."

"Yeah, Max is as stubborn as they come, Nudge isn't much better and Angel just likes the attention." I was so surprised to hear that much from Fang's mouth in one go. In the short time I'd known him he never said more than a few words in a sentence, and only a few sentences to a conversation.

"Come on, I'll have to show you where it should be, but since I can't actually be guaranteed that the girls haven't moved it. You know girls, always changing stuff around," Iggy joked.

"SEXIST PIG!" Max screamed out. I don't know how she heard him. I barely did and that's with my super enhanced hearing and me sitting entirely still.

I left their silly conversations to think about what I needed to do. What had to be done, how long I had and how much it would cost me to do so.

I needed to avenge Max's pain. It didn't seem she was going to be any time soon, so I would for her. I would find a way to get back at Fang, and anyone who got in my way in the process. I would take any measures necessary. Everything to make her feel safe and happy again. I knew her better than they thought I did, I'd been taught about her in my short life before meeting her. I knew she was covering up how she really felt, how mad and upset, trying to make everyone feel safer by acting happy. It wouldn't work for too much longer, but it would work for some time yet. It wasn't just my wishes, though. It was my duty to do.

I would take over from him and make her truly happy. I would succeed. I would make her see how good it could be with me and make her leave the scum they called Fang. I would fix everything for her. Just to show her how much I cared for her and how little he really did.

She would feel safe with me and we would leave, just to stay happy. I would lay down my life for her; she would always return the favour by noticing how much I do for her.

It would come soon enough for me. I would have everything work, just like I was designed to have happen. Like I was taught to do. Like I was prepped to do. Like I had no choice but to do. Like they had shown me to do. Like they said I would, and if I didn't nothing would work. Like they said had to happen. Like they had asked me to do.

For now, I would let them rest and think they had succeeded. For now, they could continue without a worry. For now, he could live. Not in peace for long, though. I would leave them for now, not long.

Me: What did you think? Don't answer that... Actually do!

Fang: Make up your mind, woman.

Me: NEVER! The winner was BeanBag101, again...

PLQ: What should the next PLQ be?

Fang: Only 'cause she's outta ideas...

Me: NOT TRUE! I also want thier opinions... Be creative, be spontaneos. Heck, I won't even care if you be plain stupid! Just tell me something...
