Fangs POV: Chapter 53
I was punching Sam in the head when he started to morph. Yes, that's right, morph. His nose and mouth elongating into a snout. His arms and face grew furry and I stepped back watching as he morphed. I looked over my shoulder and saw that max was already wrestling on the floor with Lissa. The school had turned them into erasers, Max had mentioned that she thought Sam looked like an eraser when we left the real school that traitor Anne had put us in.
I rushed up to him while he was still morphing and kicked him in the face, sending sprawling on all fours, "Just like a dogs supposed to be," I spat. He growled and jumped on me, scratching my face. I heard the door open and the flock came out, pulling Lissa off Max and then holding her down so Max could beat the crap out of her.
Tigress took a nervous step towards me, wondering if I needed help. I shook my head at her and she nodded, turning back around to help with Max. I needed to fight Sam, especially after what he did to Max. I felt a growl rip from my throat and I kicked him off of me. He hit the wall and fell down onto his hands and knees again. I kicked him in the nose, blood gushing from it like a deep red waterfall. Kicking him in the nose again he passed out.
I looked over to see Max checking out the flock. Lissa been knocked out for awhile now and was starting to stir. "Let's blow this joint," Max said standing up and looking over at me. I nodded and we busted the window in the girl's room and took off, flying east towards Max's mom's house.
A couple hours later we decided to stop and take a break. The flock were all tired so Max finally said, "Look, why don't we just sleep here for the night? I'll take 1st watch." Everyone nodded eagerly and went to lay down, all of them were laying near each other for warmth. I went to sit down by Max. She had taken off her hoodie and was sweating a little bit. I wordlessly felt her forehead and sighed, she wasn't really hot but she had a slight fever. "Max why do you keep getting sick lately?" I asked, looking at her. She shrugged her shoulders and tore off her shirt and slowly started to unwrap the bandages around her. I had wrapped her back up when she was sleeping last night so she wouldn't bleed to death in her sleep, especially if she had a nightmare.
I scooted over and took the gauze from her and started unwrapping her myself. Her back was completely healed, a small scar going down her back. She slipped her shirt back on and sat there staring into the fire. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her into my arms, her shoulder pressing up against my chest and her head resting just under my chin. I started to trace circles on her back and she shivered, "I missed that," she whispered with her eyes closed.
I chuckled, "I did to." She looked up at me, circles under her eyes. I could tell she hadn't been sleeping well lately. "Max are you feeling ok?" I asked noticing how her jaw was clenched but the rest of her was relaxed, even her wings which were fully healed now to. "Yeppers," she said resting her cheek on my chest and looking up at me, "Fine as I've ever felt."
I looked at her and sighed, knowing that she wasn't feeling good. I started to trace circles in her back again and felt her jaw muscles relax a bit. She sighed with comfort and drifted off to sleep.
Maxs POV:
Dream:
I sighed and watched the Flock play in a field behind Mom's house. They all looked so happy. It was snowing and they were having a major snowball fight, Ella and Tigress joining in from the ground. I laughed when Ella hit Gazzy in the back of his head and held her arms up shouting for one of them to help. Nudge came along and grabbed her arms, swinging her up until she was carrying her, laughing her head off. Tigress threw a snowball at them that landed square in Nudges back. She was getting really good with her aim.
I looked around for Fang and couldn't find him anywhere. Where was he? I jumped when I felt his hot breath on my ear as he whispered, "Looking for someone?" He smirked and sat down on the ground beside me motioning for me to come closer. When I did he scooped me up into his arms and put me on his lap. He bent down and kissed me. I could feel his lips curve into a small smile and I smiled back still kissing him. We pulled away and he pulled me back to where he had his arms wrapped around my shoulders, his hands clasped together and resting just below my neck. We sat in comfortable silence for awhile and everything was perfect. No, everything was pure bliss. I was in heaven, no one was bothering us, Me and fang were together, the Flock was enjoying themselves. Only one thing was missing, choco-
That's when I smelled them; Mom was baking chocolate chip cookies. Now everything was perfect. I watched as Jeb came out of the house and pulled Tigress to the side giving her a lesson in combat. She was enjoying it, having fun they way we had when he taught us how to fight.
Fang nuzzled my neck, his breath sending a tingly feeling down my spine and all the way to my toes. Things can be like this Max, said Jeb. For once I didn't argue, I was captured by the blissfulness of the way things were. Things can be like this if you save the world.
End Dream.
I woke up and gasped, Fang had taken my watch for me and shot u beside me. "Max! Max what's wrong? Was it another nightmare?" He asked frantically. I put my finger to my lips telling him to lower his voice so he wouldn't wake the others. "No it wasn't a nightmare," I said still confused, "It was heaven."
He looked at me oddly and sat back down, "And that mean's?" He said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, I'll let it slide this time. "It means I didn't have a nightmare, more like the perfect dream. Everyone was happy, there were chocolate chip cookies, The Flock was having a snowball fight, Jeb was teaching Tigress how to fight and she loved it, and we were together," I said looking up at him.
He smiled, "Well it sounds nice," he said. "It was," I said looking back at the fire and smiling to, "But then Jeb said 'Things can be like this if you save the world Max,' and ruined it all."
He nodded and wrapped his arms back around me, tracing circles on my back again (god I forgot how much I love that) and almost instantly I fell back asleep.
