Prisoner- Chapter 18
I woke up, blinking a few times to focus my eyes. It was still dark out and Fang was still on watch. He was sitting with his back to me, but I guess he sensed me looking at him, because he turned around. I decided to accept the fact that he caught me looking at him and stand up. I walked over to him and sat down next to him.
"You slept." He said resisting a smile.
"I did, didn't I?" I said acting shocked.
We sat silence for a couple minutes, before I broke the silence asking, "You want me to watch, so you get some sleep."
He looked over at me. "Do you know how long you were asleep?" He asked raising his dark eyebrows.
"No." I said shaking my head.
"One hour." He said looking back at the woods. "Go get some more sleep."
"Ok." I said standing up. I walked back over to my spot on the ground.
It was quite cold out here in the woods. I felt myself shiver. I decided to put my sweatshirt back on in fear or freezing to death. Ok, I'm exaggerating, but it was cold. I wonder how the others could stand it.
I lye back down and fell back asleep, amazing, I know.
Well, I was waking up again, but I wasn't ready to wake up. I couldn't have been asleep for very long. I turned over and curled up to keep warm. I was still pretty cold. I shivered again and sucked in a short breath of air.
I heard someone walk over to me and kneel down.
"Max, you awake?" Fang whispered.
"Yeah." I said opening my eyes. "I can't seem to stay asleep for very long."
"You feeling okay?" He asked studying me.
"Yeah, just a bit cold." I answered turning to look at him.
"You might be getting sick." He said still studying me.
"Nonsense." I responded with a smirk. "I don't get sick."
"No." He agreed. "You get massive headaches and fall from the sky."
"And you always catch me." I said smiling.
Are you ready for this? Fang smiled back at me. I barely ever see that.
"One of these times I'm just gonna let you fall." He said turning his smile into a smirk.
"Yeah right." I said rolling my eyes.
"It's true." He said crossing his arms. "Actually, you're so heavy I'd probably accidentally drop you anyway."
"Shut up." I said punching his arm and laughing.
"Just don't fall out of the sky anymore." Fang said.
"I'll try not to." I said sitting up. "Luckily I haven't had one of those headaches in awhile. Maybe I'll get lucky enough never to have one ever again."
"What was it like?" He asked keeping his eyes on me.
"Just imagine what it would feel like to have your skull split into large pieces." I responded remembering how I held my head tightly in my hands in fear my head would do just that.
Fang nodded not saying anything, then stood up.
I lye back down to sleep and shivered again. I curled up and closed my eyes, trying to fall asleep. It wasn't working this time.
I had lying here for about thirty minute, that being an estimate. It seemed like forever. I just couldn't seem to fall asleep. I had been considering getting up and taking over watch, so Fang could get some sleep, but knowing him he would just tell me to go back to sleep. I was starting to get a headache again and I was still cold. Then my old 'friend' that had been silent for what seemed like a record amount of time decided to pipe up.
Max, you're overlooking the obvious again.
'What are you talking about?' I asked silently.
Look around.
I sat up and did as it said. 'Everything is fine. Fang is on watch.'
I'm not worried about the flock, Maximum. I'm worried about you.
"Why?" I asked aloud.
Fang's head turned in my direction and I sighed when his eyes rested upon me. I got up and sat next to him.
"Talking to yourself again?" He asked sarcastically.
"Ha ha." I sarcastically laughed. "The voice decided to talk to me again."
"What did it want this time?" He asked looking at me.
"I don't know really." I said furrowing my eyebrows.
Fang raised a dark eyebrow, still looking at me.
"It was going on about how I was overlooking the obvious." I said rolling my eyes.
"That's it?" He asked. I saw his jaw stiffen as he looked at the tree line surrounding us.
"Yeah." I said thinking. "And it said it was worried about me."
His head snapped to look at me. "Why?" He demanded.
"I don't know." I said honestly. "That's where it ended."
"Are you feeling okay?" He asked studying me like he had done before.
"I feel fine." I said stressing the words to him.
"Nothing unusual?" He asked.
"No." I said shaking my head. "I'm tired, I have a small headache, and I'm kind of cold."
"That's it?" He asked sarcastically.
"The point is, that those are all normal things." I explained. "I'm tired from not getting much sleep. I get headaches whenever the voice decides to talk to me and it's cold out."
"Max, it's not that cold." He said reaching a hand out to feel my forehead.
I swatted it away.
"You could be sick." He said reaching his hand out again.
"I'm fine." I said slapping at his hand again and standing up. I walked over to my spot on the ground. "Get some sleep, I've got watch now."
"Fine Mom." He said clearly annoyed with me. Not mad, just annoyed. Fang always hated when I decided to be stubborn. Oh well, I hate being fussed over.
I watched him lye down with his back to me. He fell asleep quickly.
