Maxs POV: Chapter 25

After Fang and I talked I tried to get up and walk, but fell on my butt. I wonder why this happens to me so much. Chuckling he picked me up and carried me back to the clearing. I could tell Fang was tired because he had slight dark circles under his eyes. Iggy said that fang hasn't slept the since last night, so feeling pretty tired myself I put Iggy in charge and asked Fang if I could go to bed, and being as sly as I am I knew he would lay there until he drifted off to sleep with me.

He nodded and carried me back to the tree we had slept under the night before, and laid down, arranging me to where my head was resting on my chest and his arm was wrapped around my arm and waist keeping me warm. He closed his wings around us, making a pocket of heat in the chilly fall air.

I looked up at him and he smiled so I smiled back. I laid my head back down and drifted off to sleep with him absent mindedly tracing circles in my back. I woke up a couple hours later from Fangs wing tickling my nose. I looked up and noticed he was pretending to be asleep. I fought a smile and brushed his wing away, listening to his breathing. I opened my wing and hit him in the head giggling as his eyes shot wide open. "You should know better than trying to pretend you're asleep around me," I laughed and he smiled slightly. "Well I do now," he said.

After eating a large breakfast we decided it was time to move to a different spot. I looked around and watched as Angel went first, unfurling her frost white wings and kicking off, rising into the sky. Next was Nudge. I smiled as she glanced back at me and did the same as Angel, unfurling her Mocha colored wings. Once everyone except me and Fang were in the air I looked over at him, nodding my head in the direction of the sky, he nodded and unfurled his huge 14 foot wing span and looking back at me. I stared at the way the sun danced across his shiny black feathers, making them look purple in some areas. He took off and looked down at me as I unfurled my own wings. I smiled as I saw the tawny brown feathers with white streaks and brown flecks rustle in the wind. I had missed flying for the past few days and was in pure bliss as I took off into the sky.

"So where're we heading?" Iggy asked facing the general area around me. "I don't know. Any requests?" I smiled as the faces of the younger ones lit up, "The park! Let's go to the park! We've never been to a play ground before! We could climbed on the monkey bars, and swing, and chase each other, and go down slides and-" I cut her off with a stern look and then said, "The park it is."

Angel, Nudge, and Gazzy cheered. While Iggy got a big grin on his face and Fang, was well, Fang. Looking as impassive as ever. I smiled at him and he returned it, making me glow inside.

We flew around a small town and finally spotting a park. From the sky it looked pretty small, but once we landed we saw that it was actually really big. Angel, Nudge, and Gazzy dragged Iggy off to the playground. I smiled as they immediately started climbing monkey bars and going down slides. I did a 360 making sure there were no erasers and saw a swing set. It was a little ways off from the playground but I could still see it from there. I smirked at Fang and took off, reaching the swings before him by a spit second.

I sat down and he came around behind me and started pushing, making me go as high as he could. I looked back and saw him smiling at me, so I smiled back and laughed. I then looked around and saw that we were the only ones in the park so I jumped off the swing and into the air, snapping out my wings. It was actually pretty fun, I thought as I closed them again and dropped to the ground. I laughed at Fangs expression as he caught the empty swing, he wasn't expecting that. Realizing what I was laughing about he quickly covered it up with a smile, shutting me up instantly.

He went and sat down on the swing next to the one he was holding, so I sat down beside him. I started to swing and he followed my example, soon we were swinging as high as we could. It had turned into a match of who could swing the highest, and so far he was winning. I scowled and started to push harder, meeting his height. He looked down and smirked as I rapidly started slowing down. I realized what was happening and scowled as I saw Angel staring at me with a smirk on her face. I shut her out and she frowned, so glaring at her I jumped off and took off, smiling when I heard her shriek, "Save me!" To Nudge and Gazzy.

Fangs POV:

I laughed as Max took off, chasing Angel for controlling her mind. What she didn't know was that I had asked Angel to make Max stop swinging, knowing it would tick her off. She was so cute when she was mad. I jumped off and ran over to Max, catching up with her easily. I grabbed ahold of her and smiled as she struggled against my arms, trying to get at Angel.

She snapped her head around and glared at me, I knew Angel must've told her I told her to control Max because she Angel was giggling insanely now, pointing to us and saying something to Iggy, Gazzy, and Nudge.

I leaned down and pressed my lips against hers and felt her calm down instantly, just what I was hoping for. I didn't feel like dying today. I pulled back and laughed as she started to frown. I kissed her on the forehead and picked her up, running over to the playground, "Fang! Put me down!" She shouted, but not making any struggle against me, instead just crossing her arms and glaring up and me. I laughed again and said "ok," and pushed her down the slide, watching her face go from surprise to amused. She got up and started running back up the slide, grabbing hold of my arm and pulling me back down with her.

After playing tag for awhile we decided to crash here. It seemed safe and was in very nice shape, so climbing into the trees we ate dinner, consisting of power bars and other foods we didn't have to heat up. Max said she would take first watch so everyone settled down to sleep in the tree they had selected. Angel was on the branch above Nudge who had already fallen asleep. Iggy and Gazzy were sharing the tree beside mine and Max's, laying down on the branches opposite each other. I was laying on the branch beside Max's, who was perched up and watching the playground.

I laid there listening to Max's controlled breathing. She suddenly gasped and I shot up turning to look at her and saw her falling out of the tree unconscious.
