Haven't updated in a while but here is a filler chapter while I write the next one. I decided to put a little FAX but not over the top.

Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 4:

"Max? She's not awake! Is she dead? Dr. Martinez, what's wrong with her? She can't be dead! Max wake up, MAX!"

I slowly blinked my eyes. I saw very worried cocoa brown eyes over me.

"Nudge?"

"MAX! Guys she's awake!" She practically screamed in my ear.

"Do you need a bullhorn or are you good?" I said sarcastically.

"Max! Max! Max! Iggy said that I'm almost to his level of expertise in bombs! Can you believe it? He's gonna teach me how to wire a bomb with a timer tomorrow!"

Gazzy said this with a dreamy look in his eyes that frankly, was a bit scary.

"That's great Gaz… oh by the way I'm fine." I joked.

"Oh right, what happened?"

"Actually that's what I'm trying to figure out right now…" I thought to myself.

'What did actually happen? I remember we were about to make our escape when…. I saw Fang, and I blacked out? They wanted us to mate? Ah whatever. I'm out now right? That's all that matters.'

No matter how much I wanted to forget what I saw at the school, I just couldn't. Fang obviously knew. I was going to have to tell him to forget about it because it's over now.

"Fang!"

"Guys, where's Fang?" I looked around the room. I was in Dr. Martinez's room in their house. Arizona.

"OH he was SUPER tired so we told him to sleep but he said that he didn't want to but he was obviously really exhausted but he kept resisting and got kind of frustrated so we just left but he hasn't really came out of the room that he was in so I guess he's sleeping." said Nudge.

"Oh." I replied.

"I'm not sleeping." Fang's voice suddenly came out of nowhere.

I looked to see Fang leaning on the doorframe.

Fang coughed uncomfortably which was directed at Nudge.

"Oh right! Sorry! I'll go check on… um… some stuff?" Nudge nervously inched towards the door and past Fang.

"You should have slept Fang. You're going get sick."

"I was worried."

"About what?" I asked.

Fang just looked at me silently.

"Oh that." I suddenly got uncomfortable. "Don't worry about it Fang. We're fine."

"Hm."

I looked him straight in the eyes. He needed reassurance.

"Fang. Look at me. We are fine. It's okay. We're out now. Nothing is going to happen."

"Hm. Whatever the leader says."

"Yeah that's right" I stated half cocky and half joking. "Now go away. I'm sleepy."

"Me too." Fang said quietly.

He slipped into my bed and pulled the blanket over both of us.

"Fang, what are you-"

"Shhhh. You're preventing my beauty sleep."

I smiled and felt immediate comfort knowing that Fang was so close. I listened to his breathing and observed his chest rise and fall. I turned around and fell into the most comforting sleep I've had in a long time.
