Chapter twenty six :) enjoy my beautifuls x :)
Sam calmed Max down who seemed to be slightly hysterical, everything that she knew was more or less correct except for the memory power that Iggy had, and they never saw the Flock. Max was thankful she had though, in her dream, it fulfilled a need somehow which she once needed and now she could settle on now what really is true and what is happening. She was choking down on food, Sam made her, which she felt like has been the only food she has had in months that it made her stomach hurt a little. She had to go back to the cave otherwise it would raise suspicion, breaking them out hat way. sam was going to come with her and hide out so that Dylan couldn't see him. Meanwhile, Fang and Flick were still unconscious back in the school, they don't even know that Max is missing or how she got out. Dylan came into the room, via the door that he had got Max out of. He came round to Fang confirming his unconscious state and although he didn't want to he let Fangs restraints fall the ground, although he didn't carefully help him down like he did with Max he still set him free. He now worked on Flick and for the first time taking in her natural beauty, her golden hair, her soft caring face. Nothing compared to Max's harsh features that he loved so much. He help her down carefully too because in some way she reminded him of Max. Maybe it was the connections with Fang. She looked like Fang though and this angered Dylan because that meant that Max kind of has the same tendencies. He'd absolutely kicked himself for lying to Max, but it had to be done. And now he was doing what she wanted to repay her. Although he hated Fang he couldn't leave him here to rot, even though that's kind of what he wanted but the effect on Max wouldn't benefit him. He wanted to look good in her eyes, her eyes were what did it to him, what made him sad, or happy, laugh or cry. He'd picked up Fang by this point and he stirred slightly.
"Max?" He transformed into her.
"Fang help me get Flick out..." He was so drugged up he didn't know what why was up but obeyed her anyway. This was Max after all. He was too fuzzed to realise it wasn't. He got Flick up and carried her, following Dylan through the corridors and out the window.
"Can you fly?"
"I think, Max what's going on?" Dylan sshed him soothingly and flew in front to a nearby cave, obviously not the one with the real Max in. He perched down helping Fang lower Flick to the ground and then Fang joined her. "Max, I just need to sleep..."
"I know..." Dylan said. "I'll keep watch."
"Max..." Fang trailed. "I love you" it nearly took Dylan over the edge, literally, now his blood boiled. He sshed him again, a little more aggressively then he had anticipated and Fang being in the state he was laid down and slept. Dylan took off, changing into his own form and flying towards the cave. Max had already swooped in and now laid of the rock face, pretending to sleep once again, but this time she actually fell asleep, she could have slept for years, Dylan came back and settled underneath her again and a good few minutes past before he shook her gently to wake her.
POV Max
I woke up, to find Dylan beneath me again. I pulled away.
"Dylan where am I?" I played dumb, I wasn't going to live this pretence anymore, I couldn't do that to Fang.
"Don't you remember I broke you out..." I sat on the edge of the cave, my legs dangling over. He down next to me, our shoulders grazing each others.
"Where's Fang?" I said, staring at him now, hoping he would give something away.
"He's safe, with his sister and her boyfriend...they are happy" liar. Sam was stalking in the cave, they weren't with him.
"Does he not even care about me?" Now I was testing, plus I kinda wanted to now his answer.
"Max, I'm sure he does...I care about you though, you don't need him, you have me..." Oh just stop, stop right there, I may have you but you do not have me.
"He has a sister?"
"Yeah, she's like Fang...tough, courageous, stubborn" with that a massive yelp came from where Dylan was. I turned round to find Sam pinning him against the rock face.
"Where are they?" He growled at him. I didn't blame him, I was just as peed off as he was. I stood next to Sam making my allegiance well known.
"I can't..." Sam shoved him harder.
"Where are they?" He repeated, more forcefully this time.
"Safe I swear"
"You said this before about the school, how wrong were you! Where are they?" He forced him back, his neck snapped back against the rock and he winced in pain.
"Safe..."
"Where!" I shouted this time. He looked at me in disbelieve as though I wasn't capable of shouting. So totally not true.
"In a cave, not far from here" he saids obediently. Sam chucks him to the ground and motions me to U and A. I nod and thrust myself up, leaving Dylan. I wanted to see Fang so bad it hurt. Really hurt. Sam flew in front for a while. I followed attempting to keep up, he was so mush stronger then I was at this time, even though I had eaten I hadn't had the sleep and it caused me to feel incredibly tired. I could still even have some liquid running around through me. Sam slowed down and took my hand.
"Are you okay?" He looked at me, he was itching to go.
"Yeah, fine" I lied. No way were we stopping, it wasn't far, and my want to see Fang, to see them both was greater then my aching bones.
"Max, let me take you, please it's not that far..." He literally took me under his wing, which enabled me decrease my momentum. We reached a cave and looked inside, there they were propped against the cave. I couldn't help myself running up to them and taking Fang up from his position. Sam did the opposite he pulled down next to Flick and taking her in his arms. I looked over at Fang, his face.
"Dylan...he pretended to be you...I couldn't-" he what? He has crossed a line. In fact he crossed the boundaries of which the line sat.
"Fang, this is me, I promise, I love you..." He looked at me, digging away at me.
"Prove it..." I shoved my hands through his hair and kissed him, kissed him hard, like I always did. I slipped my hands down his back. It felt so good just to touch him.
"It really is me..." I projected. Then he took me so hard I thought he was going to break my rib cage, but I ain't complaining. I embraced him with equal measure and pressed my lips harder, more forcefully, hungrily, passionately then I ever had before. Every fibre of my being amplified and one things for certain. This was so utterly and completely real. He lift me up and I twirled my legs around his waist my wings open slightly to let the breeze in, his wings were around us slightly. Protectively. He walked with me a little bit, pushing me against the cliff wall roughly. He came in closer, putting his forehead on mine, our noses touching. I exhaled slowly and unevenly.
"I love you, I knew he wasn't you...I don't care what you did to get out, I knew you had to do it" I must have been thinking this subconsciously I wasn't aware but I was glad he said it. "Max you are so smart and practical and-" he grunted. "You are so beautiful...and...and...I'm in love with you" Woah, hold the phone. In love...did he just say he was in love, in love with me? A swell in the pit of my stomach, turned with excitement like a wave in the storm.
"I'm in love with you...too" I added. He gave a little nervous laugh which I had never heard coming out from him before...
"Guys I really hate to break this up but I think we have company" Sam said, Flick was wrapped around him, shaking into his shoulder. I looked out in the distance, Fangs head turning with mine. I had never, ever seen anything like it. Like a swarm of bees in the distance, with a leader, although it was smaller then the rest. Wait that's Dylan...he lead them here! That bloody kid. We need to go, no way can we take on that many at once. We had to run there was no way around this, no get out card, no nothing he had to run. well fly. Sometimes I was so glad I had wings.
sorry about these short chapters :) review as always :)
