I'm posting this chapter from Florida! In case you guys didn't know I live in California. VACATION! Woo!
I took a big, deep, breath. Suddenly a memory of Fang and I together flashed quickly into my mind.
It's finally my sixth birthday. This is the best! Jeb's gonna break us out tonight and become our daddy and take care of us. I thought silently putting on a sad almost completely fake look on my face for the white coat that was tossing me into my cage. I landed hard on my side but quickly sat up again unfazed. I looked into the cage next to me and my gaze was met by two chocolate-brown eyes.
"Tayna si reht tayna," I said quietly to Fang in our secret language. What I really said was "Tonight is the night".
"I tacany taiwat," he replied meaning "I can't wait". I stuck my finger, the only part of me that could fit through the thin gaps of the cage, out toward him and his finger toward mine. I suddenly felt a thousand times better.
Fang and I had always had each other. Even when we split up I knew deep inside it couldn't be for long. We need each other. We're two halves of a whole. There is no me without him and vice-versa. We belong together. I stared straight into Fang's eyes as his strong voice filled the church.
"Max
You've been with me forever
And I hope forevermore
You are the everything of my life
That's the only thing of which I'm sure
You are the air that I breathe
The wind beneath my wings
No matter what should happen to us
If you're by my side I'll still feel like a king
Every inch of my being
Belongs to you
If you ever left me
I don't know what I'd do
I will always protect you
As long as I live
For you in a second
My life I would give
I love you so much Max
You could never understand
With this undying love
I give you my hand"
Oh my God. That was amazing. I never knew that he loved me so much. This is huge coming from Fang. He's usually so guarded and careful. He just laid himself out to me completely. The tears are flowing freely now. I just can't help it. I took another lungful of air and started speaking.
"Fang
I lo..BANG
I huge explosion came from the back of the church. I turned frantically trying to figure out what was going on. I saw dozens of fly boys swarming through the doors and windows like insects. I got into a fighting stance which, let me tell you, is not easy in a wedding dress. I took out a couple of flyboys that were ganging up on me. I turned quickly, to see if anyone needed help, and was met with the hairy fist of a fly boy. Before I could react he smacked me over the head with his gun and, try as I might not to, I fell into unconchisness.
I woke up, who knows how much, later surrounded by my flock and did a quick head count. I almost fell over again but forced myself to remain calm. Someone was missing.
