Sorry for the delay :o Haven't really felt like writing much lately :P

But I'm here now :)

MPOV

Fang dragged me kicking and screaming into the woods behind the school. I beat on his back with my fists, and though he didn't show it, I knew it had to of hurt. Fang paid me no mind until we reached the middle of the forest. There, he set me on my feet and grabbed on to my arms before I had the chance to bolt back inside the cafeteria.

"Fang," I wailed. "Let me go!"

"Do you promise you won't attack Iggy?"

I forced myself to take on the appearance of a semi-sane, calm person. Closing my eyes and ceasing my struggle, I nodded vigorously. After a moment of hesitation, Fang released me.

Three.

Two.

One.

I darted towards the school. My legs pumped powerfully underneath me and I welcomed the flood of adrenaline back in my veins with open arms. An unholy grin spread on my face as I felt the full effect of this new speed surge through me.

Fang was behind me. I could sense him the whole way; could smell how determined he was to catch me. A bubble of laughter escaped me despite the heat of the moment, and I leaned forward, allowing my feet to pick up pace and carry my faster yet through the forest.

"Max!" Fang bellowed.

I checked quickly behind me. He was closer than I had expected. I needed to lose him soon, or he'd catch me. Spotting a tree, I set up the wild goose chase yet to come for Fang.

Right before I crashed head-on into the trunk of a towering tree, I planted my feet, coiled my muscles, and sprang straight up. My body rocketed upwards. A sturdy branch appeared in front of me and I instinctively wrapped my hand around the rough bark, swinging myself up and over it to come to a graceful landing on the top branch of the tree. A stupid grin spread itself across my face as I looked around me at the town, exhilarated.

Focus, Max.

I checked below me. Sure enough, Fang was swiftly scaling the tree to reach me.

"Having fun?" I teasingly called to him.

He stopped a second to glare at me. Then, before I knew it, Fang was directly underneath me, reaching for my ankle. I squeaked and sprang away from him without really knowing it.

It went on like that: Me hopping from tree-top to tree-top, Fang chasing close behind. My energy never seemed to drain. I was on an ultimate high up here, feeling the breeze rush through my hair and whip against my skin, the sun kissing my cheeks. I couldn't stop smiling.

Fang was far behind me by the time I got close to the edge of the forest. Only a couple more trees, and then I was there and free to maul Iggy in pieces.

I planted myself on one of the solid top branches to recharge my muscles enough to make my jump across the five trees in my path. I coiled into a tight crouch, calculating my next move. After a second I came to the conclusion.

Now or never.

I sat all the way into my crouch and made to leap. But right before my feet came off the wood, there was an ear-splitting crack. I yelped, and soon I was tumbling through the tree, branches and twigs snapping at any exposed skin I had. My hands flailed out, reaching for a good enough hold on one of the branches to support me and stop my descent. Finally, I came to a terrifying stop, my body ramming into the undergrowth. The breath left me, and I choked, trying to muster up any form of oxygen I could. I was in a freaking forest for God's sake; I was surrounded by oxygen.

I sat myself up, and as soon as I got my breath back, a brick slammed into me, pinning me to the ground and stealing my precious air again. I coughed purposefully in Fang's face, and he scrunched up his face.

"Yuck, Max. Keep your germs to yourself."

"You don't seem to mind when we're swapping spit," I pointed out.

He flushed. "Looks like you're back to your normal self."

"Nope."

His eyebrows furrowed. "Hu—"

I bucked my feet into Fang's chest, knocking him off of me and into a tree.

"Sorry!" I called over my shoulder as I bolted up and weaved my slim body in between the trees.

I made it maybe ten feet before a calloused hand wrapped around my ankle and dragged me to the ground. I squeaked and hit the floor before being flipped over. Fang's face loomed over me, and I swore one eye was twitching.

Suddenly, I started cracking up. My body shook with laughter, and I clutched my stomach. Fang stared at me, confused. But soon enough, I heard his silky voice intertwine with mine as he laughed along. A real, natural grin touched his lips as he beamed down on me. He just seemed to—to—light up.

We settled down after a few minutes, and Fang rested his forehead against mine. He nuzzled my nose affectionately, making me sighed, content. I wrapped my arms around his neck and closed my eyes as his soft lips found mine.

Sparks exploded around me, bright lights flashing behind my lids. A tingling sensation spread through me unlike anything else, and I gladly returned the kiss.

I guess this is what heaven feels like.
